Inkster sits about 13.7 miles from the middle of Detroit — the farthest from downtown of any of Detroit Tire Shop's 14 service areas — and 9.3 miles from the shop itself at 13054 Grand River Ave. The shop runs Mon–Sat 9:00 AM – 8:00 PM, Sun Open 24 hours, so a longer drive doesn't also mean a narrower window to make it.
At about 13.7 miles from the middle of Detroit, Inkster is the farthest of Detroit Tire Shop's 14 service areas from downtown — though the number that actually matters for a visit is the 9.3-mile trip to the shop itself, at 13054 Grand River Ave in Detroit. That's a longer drive than most of the other areas on the map, and it's worth naming plainly rather than smoothing over.
Taylor, 4.2 miles from Inkster, and Allen Park, 5.6 miles away, are the two closest of the business's other service areas — useful reference points for anyone weighing whether to make the full trip or ask about a closer stop instead.
Why call ahead instead of just driving over?
Mon–Sat 9:00 AM – 8:00 PM, Sun Open 24 hours means there's no closing time working against a late arrival, but a trip of 9.3 miles is still a real commitment of time either way. A short phone call before leaving Inkster confirms the shop can take the job right away instead of risking a wasted round trip.
Does the distance mean Inkster gets less attention than closer areas?
No — distance changes the drive, not the service. That reputation — 36 Google reviews averaging 4.8 stars — was built serving all 14 service areas, not just the ones nearest the shop, and Inkster doesn't get a shorter list of what the shop handles.
