Ryan Schrader
"RNR Tire Express and our franchisees have been placing the Excel Tire Gauge SC05 Stainless Steel Free Air at our locations across the country for several years. It has provided RNR with a valuable and proven way to attract and serve customers, build their loyalty and cross sell services and products. We have found Excel Tire Gauge and their team members to be knowledgeable and excellent to work with, both at the time of sale and more importantly with their long term support."
Mark Stillman
"Since incorporating Excel Tire Gauges into our facility it has helped increase our productivity and accuracy immensely. These are the most precise and durable gauges that we have ever used. We also added an outside inflation station for our customers to use, which has resulted in positive feedback for its ease of use and convenience. We are extremely pleased with our decision to team up with Excel and would highly recommend it to others."
Kyle Linsner
"Over the past three years, Tsunami Express Car Wash has deployed more than 70 Excel Tire Gauge SC05-SS Free Air machines across our locations, and the results have been outstanding. The units are extremely durable, reliable, and built to handle the high traffic demands of our sites.The custom decals allow us to seamlessly match our brand standards, and the free air offering has become a valuable amenity that helps drive customers to our facilities while enhancing the overall guest experience.

Jonathan Ketchum
"Haffner’s/Energy North has been using Excel Tire Gauge’s Air Machines for many years. We have found them to be extremely durable (especially in harsh New England winters), user friendly and an excellent source of revenue for our company. Excel Tire Gauge has shown that not only do they make an outstanding product but they stand behind it every step of the way!"
Robert Moyer
"Costco relies exclusively on Excel Tire Inflators in all of our 507 US and Canadian Tire Centers. After years of testing and use, we find that the Excel Tire Inflators are both reliable and durable. Our initial goal was to provide accurate tire pressure to our Members, but we quickly realized that in doing so, the Excel Inflation System actually improved productivity in the tire installation and inflation top off processes. The Excel Tire Inflation System also improved safety for our technicians by allowing them to stay a greater distance from the tire and wheel assembly during the bead seating and inflation process."
Don Belanger
"Tasca Automotive Group has been a dedicated user of the Excel Tire Gauge PNT4 Automatic Tire Inflators for many years. Not only do we find them to be extremely accurate when calibrating tire pressure but their ease of use helps to make our technicians more efficient. In our opinion Excel Tire Gauge makes a product that stands the test of time and most importantly they stand behind it every step of the way!"
Kevin Platt
"Jay and his team have been great partners of Nouria for over 20 years, and we have continued to achieve success year after year with Excel’s commitment to service and response to all our store needs in New England. Excel’s team strives to ensure we have the best equipment at the most reliable and affordable rates for our customers, and we will continue to partner with Excel as we grow our store locations."
Jim Melvin Sr.
"We purchased 2 Excel air pumps approximately 6 years ago. They were one of the best equipment purchases we ever made. First in this day and age it is virtually impossible to find free air stations. Even the ones you pay for are expensive and difficult to use. Sometimes after you put your money in you find they don't work. We installed the air stations in a place in our lot that was easy to get to and yet out of our way. I could not believe how popular they became. Sometimes we even have cars lined up for their use. This is a great and inexpensive way to bring new customers to your place of business. It also eliminates the many low pressure lights that occur every year in the first cold days of winter.Excellent product and their service is good."
Brett Sullivan
"Over the past 3.5 years, we’ve relied on Excel Tire Gauge and their PNT4 B Model across our locations, and the performance has been consistently strong. Today, we operate more than 120 units throughout our car washes, and they’ve proven to be dependable, easy to maintain, and well-suited for high-traffic environments. It’s been a great partnership, and their equipment continues to meet the demands of our business."
