Jack Rice was determined to succeed when he started Big G Tire Pros in 1971.

The business started small with two garage bays and two employees at the intersection of Main and Fifth streets. Rice rose at 6 a.m. daily to make a trip to a Pittsburgh tire warehouse before opening the shop at 9 a.m.
A few years later, the business expanded with the addition of three more bays, and a second generation got involved in 1982. Joe Rice began working at Big G Tire Pros that year alongside his father and did so until Jack Rice's retirement in 1996.
Continuing with his father's legacy, Joe Rice works hard to maintain a high level of professionalism at the shop while providing Mon Valley customers with trustworthy tire and repair service.
His employees help continuing meeting his father's original vision. Store manager Mike Signorini, a Monongahela native, has been taking care of customers for more than 16 years. Signorini has been an asset to the business and cares deeply about the customers and their needs.
All technicians are endorsed by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence and the repair shop is certified by AAA.
Big G Tire Pros is a green business. Customers can save in fuel costs through nitrogen-filled tires available at Big G, which uses waste oil to heat the office building
Big G Tire Pros is grateful to Monongahela and the surrounding communities for more than four decades of great business.
