Welcome to the page for City Tire Firestone. We are located in leesburg right off off 441, north of the Leesburg Airport. For all you local Leesburgians, we are across the street from Gator Harley Davidson. City Tire Firestone was started by Bob Bleakley Sr. (Middle, in picture), who ran the store for many years when it was originally off of 27. Leesburgians might remember how there used
to be a Scotty's before it became Pat's Sales Well, before it was Scotty's it was City Tire Firestone. Bob Bleakley had great success at the store off 27, so much in fact, he had to move to accomodate the growing business. After looking around for awhile, he finally settled where we are located right now, 1740 US hwy 441. His new location not only repaired cars and trucks, but also provided retreading services for semi trucks. Business was booming so much, Bob asked his son Mcleod Bleakley(Left in picture) to help him run the store. Mcleod was working at NASA as a contracted engineer at the time. He had just met his future wife, Paula, and was enjoying success at NASA. He was, and still is, and avid surfer and being able to work near the coast was a dream come true for McLeod. Coming back to Leesburg to help run his family's was not what he was originally wanting to do. He did however see the potential in the business and didnt want to miss the opportunity to be able to work with his dad. Not long after Bob Bleakley moved the business, McLeod soon followed. Many successfull years past by. McLeod had settled in Leesburg and started a family and before long his three bright eyed boys(Justin, Nick, and Blaise) went off to college. As luck would have it, Nicholas (Right in picture), wanted to be a part of the business since he was a little boy. After he decided he was finished with college, he came back home. Nicholas (Nick) has now been with the company full time for 3 years, and is eager to be successfull like his grandfather and father before him. City Tire Firestone has been a Leesburg staple for the past 45+ years thanks to their honesty and excellent customer service. With three generations of Bleakleys running it, you know your going to get the same dependable, honest, and friendly service that has been our fountaion for success all these years.
