# PitPro Deploys First Production Automated Tire Changer at Kal Tire Calgary
PitPro Automation has announced the first production deployment of its automated tire-changing system at a Kal Tire store in Calgary — the company’s first Canada install following June 2025 pilots.
The system fits a single service bay and is designed for Class 3 and smaller vehicles. Once a vehicle drives onto the platform, two coordinated gantries service all four wheel positions at once. PitPro says a full set of tire swaps can be completed in under 15 minutes, with the goal of more consistent service quality and less physical strain for technicians.
“Seeing our system in daily use at a Kal Tire store is a defining moment for PitPro and proof that our technology is ready for the real world,” said Jeremy Conrad, co-founder and CEO of PitPro Automation. “Our vision is to make tire service dramatically faster and higher quality for everyone, from the shops that do the work to every driver who depends on them.”
“Tire service is physically demanding work, and Canadian winters create intense demand spikes,” said Kenneth Chaun, senior vice president of strategy and innovation at Kal Tire. “We see automation as a force multiplier for our team members, not a replacement for them. It takes the heaviest, most repetitive lifting off our technicians and frees them to focus on the diagnostic and customer work.”
Details are in the Business Wire release.
