Douglas Tire Company
1315 Central Ave., Nebraska City, NE 68410
(402) 873-7588
We are proud to spotlight our newest Partner with NCAEDC.
Douglas Tire Company has been a part of the Nebraska City/Otoe County community since 1988 according to Owner, Emil Vollman. Emil said he prefers the independence of being a business owner so he can "do things the way he thinks they should be done."
As a locally owned and operated business, Vollman feels that is what separates him from his competitors. "I am most proud of being able to survive and prosper in a large corporately, dominanted world" said Emil. When asked if there was one thing he would want people to know about his company, Emil replied "we can change and grow as the world around us changes and grows".
Douglas Tire carries on the true tradition of a family owned business. Every day, customers will see this family at work with sons James and Rick and Emil working together to keep the Douglas Tire organization running.
People who know Douglas Tire and the Vollmans, know they are dedicated to their business and provide quality service. We encourage you to visit Douglas Tire Company for your next automotive/tire repair needs.
