Default Steelcase Tires or Tire Depot out of business?

I've been trying to call both of these places for days but keep on getting a busy signal. Sometimes, I'd get no answer at all with Steelcase Tires. Are they just busy or are they out of business? Thanks.

Steelcase Tires n Mags 905-479-8884
Tire Depot 905-882-8473

I would imagine that both are pretty busy right now... with long lineups and waits...

Even when I called Steelcase to price tires a while back they were pretty slow to answer.

You can always try other retailers, I got a set of tires from Tires23.com and they were very pleasant to deal with.

Well, I work at Tire depot. Just so you know, the phones are turned off. Basically because we are too busy to answer the phones anywayz. And when they are on, we have to put the customers on hold forever, which in turn, makes them grumpy/upset/etc. So, the easiest thing to do is just turn them off. The easiest way to reach us is to come in person.

Green Bay Tires is constantly busy as well with their six bays but they always have time to answer the phone. Luckily, their price is not too far off.
Even a recorded message is better than a constant busy tone. I tried calling T.D. and S.C both for weeks now too.

Just to follow up, I did end up visiting both places to get a quote, and yes, they're both still very much in business!
