Tools for independent tire shops
Practical Excel and Google Sheets tools for independent tire shop owners. Price every tire for real margin, quote faster at the counter, and see where the money goes.
What Tire Shop Playbook is
Tire Shop Playbook is a resource for independent tire shop owners. It covers pricing, inventory, training, hiring and operations through practical Excel and Google Sheets tools and plain-English guides. No software to learn and no monthly bill. Type in your numbers and your shop makes the call.
Out-the-door quotes, real margin on every tire, and price lists that hit your target.
Read every DOT date code, sell the oldest tires first and see the cash tied up in aged stock.
A written bay SOP, daily lift checks and a new-hire safety sign-off, plus 10 training modules with sign-offs in the Tech Hiring & Training Kit.
Find, vet and bring on techs with a clear, repeatable process: the Tech Hiring Kit ($39) or the Tech Hiring & Training Kit ($79).
Estimates, work orders and invoices, a customer-supplied tire procedure, and a seasonal marketing plan.
Available now · Spreadsheet kit
Enter your shop's numbers once. After that, type a tire cost and get a full out-the-door quote with your profit, before you hand the customer a number.
Works in Google Sheets and Excel. No macros, no add-ons. Includes a Quick Start Guide (PDF) and example data you replace with your own.
Refunds: All sales are final. If a file doesn't work, email hello@tireshopplaybook.com and we'll make it right.
Markup is not margin
Price on markup and call it margin, and every ticket comes up short of the number you planned. The calculator shows both side by side.
Free: the one-page Tire Markup Cheat Sheet (PDF). Margin vs. markup table and an add-on fees checklist. No email needed.
