Ellensburg — Valley Auto and Tire on Main Street

Ellensburg is the gateway town for Teanaway Ridge, Wenas Creek Road, and the entire Kittitas Valley overland corridor. Valley Auto and Tire on Main Street is a working independent shop — not a chain — handling tire swaps, basic mechanicals, and rotation for rigs heading into or coming back from the backcountry. If you’re limping out of the Teanaway on a slow leak or need a spare mounted before heading up into the hills, this is your stop. Verify hours ahead — small shops keep their own schedules.

Ellensburg itself has a full Walmart, grocery stores, and multiple fuel options, so it’s worth topping off everything here before heading up I-90 exits toward the Teanaway or northeast toward the Colockum. The shop sits in the commercial core — easy to find, no hunting required.

Last tire shop before the Teanaway chews you up.
