Casey McVay, manager of Gills Point S Tire & Auto Service, talks about how much easier it is changing the gas prices on the new sign compared to going up about 20 feet on a ladder to change prices when it was Peerless Tyre Co. Gills Point S purchased the Peerless company and its 54 locations, taking over the Durango store on Main Avenue that had been under the Peerless name for 38 years. The new business now offers full auto service along with adding new brands of tires. More changes are planned in the future. (Jerry McBride/Durango Herald)
