Director: Shane Gillis
Running a family auto shop sounds simple until the manager in charge is stuck between an absent owner, a skeleton crew, and a cousin who treats every shift like a dare; "Tires" (2024) turns that daily grind into a scrappy workplace comedy.
What is Tires about?
Will has inherited the thankless job of keeping Valley Forge Automotive afloat while his father stays mostly out of the picture, and the pressure to hit sales numbers collides constantly with the reality of the staff he actually has. Chief among his headaches is his cousin Shane, a mechanic whose instincts for causing trouble are matched only by an odd loyalty to the shop when it counts. Around them orbits a small crew of employees who each bring their own chaos, customers who need far more hand-holding than any oil change should require, and a corporate office that keeps sending memos nobody on the floor can actually use. The show plays out almost entirely within the shop's cramped waiting room and garage bay, mining comedy from mundane friction: broken equipment, personality clashes, and the daily indignities of retail work rather than any single dramatic plot engine.
Cast & crew
Shane Gillis, who also created and co-writes the series, plays the cousin at the center of most of the chaos with an improvisational looseness that sets the show's tone, while Steve Gerben's more grounded performance as Will gives the ensemble something to push against. Stavros Halkias and Kilah Fox round out the shop floor with distinct comic rhythms of their own.
Context & significance
"Tires" premiered in 2024 as a low-key, single-location workplace comedy in the tradition of shows built around one cramped setting and a rotating cast of oddball regulars. Its 7.6 rating on IMDb points to an audience drawn to its deadpan, almost documentary-adjacent pacing rather than punchline-heavy writing, and its short, tightly contained episodes fit easily into a single sitting.
