Are you tired of the clutter in your garage, car, or home? Are you looking for a way to protect your tires while freeing up some much-needed space? Look no further than SMC Towing Group Ottawa’s tire storage services. Discover how our seamless solutions can save space, protect your tires, and offer unparalleled convenience.
Ottawa's Trusted Tire Storage Company | Reclaim Your Space
Say goodbye to clutter and dirty tires this season, and hello to peace of mind. Our tire storage services not only declutter your living space but also shield your tires from potential damage caused by improper storage conditions. With SMC Towing Group, you can ensure your tires are stored in a controlled environment, extending their lifespan and saving you money in the long run.
Ottawa drivers swap between winter and summer tires twice a year, and most garages and condos do not have the space to store a full set properly. Tires left in direct sunlight, on concrete floors, or stacked without protection lose tread life faster and can develop flat spots, dry rot, and sidewall cracking. A dedicated tire storage facility keeps your set off the ground, away from UV exposure, and in a temperature-controlled space until your next seasonal changeover.
SMC Towing Group handles the entire process from your door and back. We pick up your off-season tires, transport them to our secure storage location in Nepean, and deliver them back when you are ready for your next tire swap. No heavy lifting, no trips across town, and no worrying about whether your winter or summer tires are sitting in the right conditions while they wait.
Our Tire Storage Services in Ottawa
SMC Towing Group offers seasonal tire storage in Ottawa with pickup, delivery, and secure indoor storage at our Nepean facility. From a single set of winter tires to multiple vehicles for a household, every set is handled with care and ready when you need it for your next tire changeover.
Winter tire storage
When the snow melts and you swap to your summer set, your winter tires need a proper place to sit until the next season. Our winter tire storage keeps your set in a climate controlled facility away from heat, humidity, and UV exposure that cause rubber to degrade. Drivers searching for winter tire storage near me in Ottawa can schedule a pickup and have the set stored at our Nepean location the same day.
Summer tire storage
Once winter hits and the snow tires go on, your summer set needs the same level of protection during the off season. SMC Towing Group stores your summer tires in our secure tire storage facility, keeping them clean, dry, and free from flat spots so they perform when spring arrives. Summer tire storage is available for all vehicle types including sedans, SUVs, and trucks.
Tire pickup and delivery
No need to load heavy tires into your trunk or drive across town to a tire shop in Ottawa. Our tire storage pickup and delivery service handles everything from your door. The technician picks up your off-season set from your home, office, or any location in Ottawa and delivers them back when it is time for your next seasonal tire swap.
Climate controlled tire storage
Temperature swings, moisture, and direct sunlight break down rubber compounds faster than most drivers realize. Our climate controlled tire storage facility in Ottawa maintains consistent indoor conditions that protect against dry rot, sidewall cracking, and premature tread wear. This is what separates professional tire storage from leaving a set stacked in your tire storage garage or basement.
Tire change and storage combo
Book your seasonal tire change and storage in a single appointment. The technician arrives at your location, completes the tire changeover on the spot, and takes the off-season set back to our facility. This tire swap and storage combo eliminates extra trips and is the most popular option for Ottawa drivers during the winter tire change and summer tire change seasons.
Tire inspection before storage
Before your tires go into storage, the technician checks tread depth, sidewall condition, and tire pressure. Knowing if your tires are worth storing saves you from paying tire storage costs on a set that needs replacing. If anything needs attention before the next season, you get a clear answer on the spot rather than discovering a problem at your next tire changeover in Ottawa.

Business Hours
About Ottawa, ON
Ottawa, ON is a city built around seasonal driving. From November through March, icy roads and heavy snowfall make winter tires a necessity for most drivers, and once April hits, the swap back to summer or all-season tires begins. That twice-a-year cycle means every household with a vehicle needs somewhere to put the off-season set, and most Ottawa homes, condos, and apartments do not have the garage space to store four extra tires properly.
The city stretches across a wide area from Kanata in the west to Orleans in the east, with major suburbs like Nepean, Barrhaven, Gloucester, and Stittsville spread throughout. For drivers in these areas, hauling a set of tires to a storage location and picking them up months later is a time-consuming task. A tire storage service with pickup and delivery across the full Ottawa-Gatineau region removes that hassle entirely.
Frequently Asked Questions
The cost of tire storage in Ottawa depends on the number of tires, the length of the storage period, and whether you add pickup and delivery to the booking. SMC Towing Group confirms the exact price on the phone before scheduling anything. There are no hidden charges for tire size, vehicle type, or delivery distance within Ottawa. If you are comparing tire storage prices across providers, keep in mind that most dealerships and chains charge extra for pickup and delivery or do not offer it at all. With SMC, the price you hear on the call is the price you pay.
If you have a cool, dry, indoor space where tires can sit off the ground and away from sunlight, storing them at home can work. The problem is most garages in Ottawa are not temperature controlled. Summer heat and winter cold cause rubber to expand and contract, which leads to dry rot, sidewall cracking, and flat spots over time. A professional tire storage facility maintains consistent conditions year-round, which extends the life of your tires and saves you from replacing a set earlier than you should. For condo and apartment owners who have no garage at all, tire storage is the only practical option.
You call SMC Towing Group at 613-801-2476 and book a pickup date. The technician comes to your home, office, or any address in Ottawa, loads your off-season tires, and transports them to our indoor facility in Nepean. Each set is tagged with your name, vehicle details, and tire condition at intake. When the season changes and you need them back, you call again and we deliver them to your door. If you also want the tires swapped onto your vehicle, you can book the tire change and storage combo so everything is handled in one visit.
A tire hotel is another name for a professional tire storage service where your seasonal tires are kept in a secure, indoor facility between changeovers. Some providers call it a tire hotel because your tires are checked in, stored safely, and checked out when you need them. SMC Towing Group operates a tire hotel out of our Nepean location with full pickup and delivery across Ottawa, Kanata, Nepean, Orleans, Barrhaven, and Gatineau. The difference between our service and a dealership tire hotel is that we come to you instead of requiring a drop-off.
Yes. If you have multiple vehicles in your household or an extra set of tires for any reason, SMC Towing Group stores as many sets as you need. Each set is tagged and tracked separately so there is no confusion when it is time for delivery. There is no limit on the number of sets you can store and no extra per-set fees beyond the quoted price.
Tires should be stored indoors in a cool, dry space away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and chemicals like gasoline or solvents. They should be kept off concrete floors, ideally on a rack or shelf, and stored upright if they are not mounted on rims. Temperature swings are the biggest enemy because they cause the rubber compound to break down over time. Stacking tires flat without protection can also cause flat spots. Professional tire storage facilities manage all of these factors automatically, which is why tire storage services exist for drivers who do not have the right conditions at home.
Yes. SMC Towing Group provides tire storage pickup and delivery across all of Ottawa and surrounding areas including Kanata, Orleans, Nepean, Barrhaven, Gloucester, Stittsville, Alta Vista, South Keys, Hunt Club, and Gatineau. The tires are stored at our facility in Nepean regardless of where you are located. Pickup and delivery are included as part of the service so there is no extra charge based on your neighbourhood.
The busiest times for tire storage in Ottawa are late October through November for winter tire changeovers and late March through April for the switch back to summer tires. Booking a week or two before the rush gives you more flexibility on pickup dates. That said, SMC Towing Group accepts tire storage bookings year-round and same-week pickups are available when scheduling allows.
Most dealerships offer tire storage as an add-on to their service department. You drive to the dealership, wait while they swap your tires, and they keep the off-season set somewhere on site. The main differences with SMC Towing Group are that we pick up and deliver to your door, our storage facility is purpose-built for tires with controlled indoor conditions, and you do not need to be a customer of any specific dealership or brand. We also confirm the price upfront with no bundled upsells for alignment, balancing, or other services unless you ask for them.
Yes. If you need your tires back earlier than expected or want to check on them for any reason, call us and we arrange a delivery or you can visit our Nepean facility during business hours. There is no penalty for early pickup and no extra fee beyond the standard delivery charge if you want them brought to your location.
