Since 1990, OK Tire in Okotoks has been a cornerstone of the local automotive landscape. For the past eighteen years, the shop has been proudly owned and operated by Shayne and Tara Casey, independent entrepreneurs deeply invested in the community they serve. Shayne’s connection to Okotoks stretches back even further, having called this close-knit town home since 1987. This deep-rooted history isn’t just a timeline; it’s the foundation of a business built on personal relationships and genuine care.
For Shayne, the small-town ethos isn’t just a marketing slogan; it’s a way of doing business. “I think that growing up in a smaller community, which Okotoks was in my younger years, I take a lot of pride in having that small-town feel. For my customers, especially, I want to make sure I build a relationship with them. I want to make sure they feel comfortable.” This commitment to personal, small-town service fosters a sense of trust, turning customers into familiar faces.
Beyond the garage, Shayne and his family are woven into the fabric of Okotoks. Growing up playing local sports, Shayne later dedicated years to coaching hockey. When his daughters took to the ice, he proudly supported the Okotoks Figure Skating Club as a platinum sponsor for fifteen years. Now, with his children grown, Shayne is back on the rink as an assistant coach with the Okotoks Oilers Athletic Association. “I try and do everything I can for my community to give back,” he says, highlighting the importance of active involvement.
At the heart of OK Tire Okotoks lies a commitment to keeping vehicles running safely and efficiently. They offer a comprehensive range of services, from routine oil changes and maintenance to brakes, steering, suspension, diagnostics, tune-ups, wheel alignments, tires, and even transmission and engine work. “We offer full mechanical services, maintenance, all OE approved, so it doesn't affect anybody's warranty. We make sure your car is running top notch, so you can stay on the road and ultimately at the end of the day, we want to perform those maintenance jobs because we want to minimize the chance of a breakdown for you and a costly repair.” This proactive approach not only ensures vehicle longevity and safety but also saves customers from potentially expensive repairs down the line.
The dedication of local businesses like OK Tire Okotoks extends beyond providing essential services.

They are also proud members of the Okotoks Chamber of Commerce and an accredited business with the BBB.
“You know, I think of what's going on in the world and in the economy lately, and I think that supporting local business is a critical piece of any community,” Shayne emphasizes. When a local business invests in the community, it’s vital that the community reciprocates, especially during uncertain economic times.
