Free Brush Day: the first Tuesday of every month. Bring a valid driver's license.
Free Tire Day: the second Tuesday of every month, up to 10 passenger tires off the rim.

Beating the line
Tuesdays and Saturdays are the busiest days; Wednesdays and Thursdays are the quietest. On spring, summer and fall Saturdays, a one- to two-hour wait is normal, and when there's a line at closing you get 15 minutes to unload once you're backed into a bay. Call (913) 727-2858 to ask how long the line is.
