About The Nealey Company

Our business dates back to 1980 when we started selling our repairs
to service stations and tire shops.
We would drive into a service station, invite the operator to watch,
then punch a hole in our tire, repair it, hopefully sell a big package
of repairs, and drive on to the next prospect. (One time when we
replaced a tire we counted 531 repairs in it.)
It was a tough way to make a buck but while making these sales calls
we often found that a farmer, or other potential customer would
observe the demonstration, follow us to our car and say "How do I get
some of those?" This led us to schedule our first farm show where our
product was more popular than we had ever imagined. We ran out of
product half way through the show and had found a niche market that,
along with the construction industry, has become a major part of our
business.
We are very proud that most of those customers from the early days are
still our customers today and gratified that, from getting to know us
at various shows, have become our friends. Many have been instrumental
in our growth by recommending our product to their friends and
neighbors.
We are pleased that companies such as Stens, the worlds largest
supplier of parts and accessories to the lawn care industry,
Arctic
Cat, a major manufacturer of ATV’s, and some major farm store chains
now offer our tire repair kits to their customers.
Over the years the cost of having a tire repaired has gone up and up.
Because of the growth in our business we have been able to continue to
hold the prices of our kits to levels that differ little from those of
many years ago while still maintaining our reputation for quality and
service.
