Tires, repairs, and honest answers

Tell us what your vehicle needs. We’ll inspect the problem, explain the options and discuss the work before you approve it.

New Tires

Compare tires suited to your vehicle, driving and budget. Call with your tire size to check current availability and installed pricing.

Quality Used Tires

Ask about inspected used tires in your size. We’ll help compare fit, remaining tread and condition with the new-tire options.

Tire Repair & Patching

A nail or slow leak needs an inspection. We check the damage and explain whether a proper repair or replacement is appropriate.

Rotation & Balancing

Help your tires wear evenly with rotation and balancing when needed. Ask us to check the correct schedule for your vehicle.

Oil Changes

Fast oil changes done right, with a real look under the hood while we're at it. If something else needs attention, we'll show you — if it doesn't, we won't invent it.

Brake Service

Pads, rotors, and honest brake inspections. If your brakes have life left, we'll tell you. If they're done, we'll fix them at a fair price.

AC Repair & Recharge

Upstate South Carolina summers are no joke. We diagnose weak AC, recharge the system, and chase down leaks so your truck blows cold again.

Diagnostics & Roadside Help

Check engine light on? Locked out? Flat on the side of the road? Call the shop and Brian will figure out the problem — and he's been known to help stranded drivers for free.

The Iva Shop That Won't Sell You What You Don't Need

Ed Powell, longtime Iva resident and Brian's father
Ed Powell — Brian's dad and lifelong mentor

Brian Powell opened BP's Express Tire & Auto Plus to be the kind of shop he'd want to take his own truck to. No pressure. No padded invoices. No mystery charges at pickup. Just honest work from a guy who's been turning wrenches his whole life.

Brian learned the trade from his dad, Ed Powell — a longtime Iva resident known across Anderson County for his kindness and integrity — working alongside him at the family salvage yard for over 35 years before opening BP's Express Tire in January 2018. Today his oldest son, Brian "LB" Powell, works the shop with him.

A lot of the same folks keep coming back. Some bring their kids' first cars in now. That tells you everything.

A real shop, not a chain. We do new tires in every brand and size, quality used tires that save you hundreds, brakes, AC work, oil changes, diagnostics, and small mechanical repairs. If we can't fix it, we'll tell you straight.

We help our neighbors. Locked your keys in the car outside Anderson? Caught a flat on the way home? Call us. Brian has been known to swap a tire for free when somebody's truly stuck — that's just how we were raised to do things in the Upstate.

No Upsell Promise

We only recommend repairs you actually need — and we'll show you the part that's worn.

50 Years In The Bay

Combined hands-on experience across tires, brakes, AC, and small mechanical work.

New & Used Tires

Compare new and inspected used options suited to your vehicle. Call with your tire size to check stock and pricing.

Oil Change

Full synthetic, blend, or conventional — on the manufacturer's interval, no quick-lube upsells.

What Upstate Drivers Are Saying

★★★★★

"Brian Powell is a great man. My husband and I have taken our vehicles to his shop twice now and we were happy with our service both times. Honest work, fair prices, and you can tell he actually cares about the people who walk through his door."

Amanda S.
★★★★★

"A very honest and trustworthy business! Quality work and honest — you don't find that anywhere anymore. Thank you Brian. I'm a customer for life now. If you've been burned by a shop before, give BP's a try. You'll feel the difference the second you pull in."

Debbie J.
★★★★★

"Fair and honest. After finding this shop I do not go anywhere else. Great prices and great people. They can fix anything — tires, brakes, AC, you name it. Give them a try, you will not regret it. Brian and his crew treat you like a neighbor, not a number."

Danny F.
★★★★★

"Needed two tires fast before a road trip and Brian got me in same day. He showed me a quality used set that saved me almost $200 over new — and they've held up perfectly for over a year now. This is the only shop I trust with my truck."

Marcus R.

Questions We Hear Every Week

Do I need an appointment or can I walk in?
Walk-ins are welcome. We do our best to get you in and out the same day, especially for tires and oil changes. If you're coming in for a bigger job like brakes or AC work, a quick call ahead at (864) 348-8473 helps us plan your spot in the bay.
Will you tell me if a repair isn't actually needed?
Yes — every time. Honesty is the whole reason we built this shop. Brian personally inspects the work and will tell you straight if a repair can wait or isn't needed at all. We've never made a dime upselling people, and we're not about to start.
How much do used tires cost in Iva, SC?
Pricing depends on tire size, condition and availability. Call (864) 348-8473 with your tire size for an installed estimate and ask what is included.
Do you offer roadside assistance near me?
Call the shop during business hours to ask what help is available. Response, location and charges depend on the situation. If you are in immediate danger, call 911; do not assume a shop call guarantees emergency roadside service.
How long does a tire change or oil change take?
Timing depends on the vehicle, the work needed, parts availability and the queue. Call ahead and ask for an estimate before you leave the vehicle, especially if you need to wait.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept cash and all major credit and debit cards. Just ask when you check in if you have a question about payment — we keep things simple at the counter, no hidden fees and no surprise add-ons.
