Who we are
Serving Abilene from our convenient location at S 1st and Palm, Abilene General Tire has built a legacy of trust over 65 years. As a family-owned business since 1960, we prioritize transparent service, which is why families have relied on us for their tire needs for up to three generations.
Following a stint in the Navy after World War ll, W. A. Agnell graduated from Baylor University and began his career in San Angelo, TX where he worked at Firestone as store manager. After realizing the opportunity for growth in Abilene, he purchased building located at 1517 S 1st, where we are still located today. He had an immense belief in providing personal and reliable service rooted in transparency and honesty. During his time in Abilene he became involved in several community organizations such as the Abilene Rotary Club and the Salvation Army Advisory Board. His dedication to the Abilene community earned him the title of “The General”. W. A. Agnell passed away in 1989, but his legacy continues in Abilene under leadership of his son Peter.
