The company sells and installs tires and the owners pride themselves on the excellent business relationships they have developed with both their customers and suppliers. The company often sells tires on credit, allowing customers to pay their balances within 30 days. Collection of accounts receivable has never been a problem, with most people paying their balances within 60 days. Martin Avenue purchases tires from most of the large national brands and, due to the nature of the business, generally maintains a fairly large inventory.
