After more than three decades of dedicated ownership, Curtis and Rosemarie Moggey proudly announce the transition of Panda Tire & Auto to the next generation of family leadership. Beginning in 2026, the business will be owned and operated by Lance, Lorrie, and Crystal Moggey, marking an exciting new chapter in the company’s long and trusted history.

The Firestone store has been a fixture in downtown Moose Jaw since 1955, serving generations of local drivers. In 1989, Curtis and Rosemarie took the reins, later incorporated as Panda Tire & Auto in 1992. Under their leadership, the business has grown into a respected and community-minded automotive service center known for its integrity, quality workmanship, and customer care.

Now, the torch is being passed to the second generation—Lance and Lorrie, twins, along with their younger sister Crystal. Each has played a vital role in the company for many years, learning the business from the ground up and helping it thrive through changing times in the automotive industry.

“This company has always been about family, faith, and service,” say Curtis and Rosemarie. “Our wish is that this next generation will be blessed, as we have been, to serve Moose Jaw and area residents and businesses well into the future—perhaps even into the third generation.”

As Lance, Lorrie, and Crystal step forward, Panda Tire & Auto remains committed to the same core values that have guided it for decades—honesty, reliability, and care for customers like family. The Moggey family extends heartfelt thanks to their loyal customers, staff, and community for their ongoing support and looks forward to continuing to keep Moose Jaw moving safely for many years to come.

Panda Tire Moose Jaw Auto Repair Maintenance - Tires

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Maintaining proper wheel alignment is essential to avoid unnecessary wear on your tires, steering, suspension, and brake components. An accurate wheel alignment optimizes driving stability, maximizes tire life, and improves your vehicle’s overall handling performance. Before performing a wheel alignment, test drive the vehicle and record any abnormality, the tire pressures should be checked and set, steering and suspension components should be checked for wear and movement that may prevent alignment from being performed effectively. There are a couple ways to tell if your car needs an alignment. If you’ve noticed one or more of these indicators, you should have your alignment checked by a licensed technician immediately.

  • Uneven tread wear
  • Vehicle pulling to the left or right.
  • Your steering wheel is off center when driving straight.
  • Steering wheel vibration

Panda Tire and Auto Service in Moose Jaw’s certified auto technicians are concerned mainly with three things when performing an alignment.

Camber angles:

This is the inward or outward angle of the tire when viewed from the front of the vehicle. Too much inward or outward tilt, also known as negative and positive camber, respectively, indicates improper alignment and will need to be adjusted. Worn bearings, ball joints, and other wheel-suspension parts may contribute to camber misalignment.

Toe angles:

Distinct from camber alignment, toe alignment is the extent to which your tires turn inward or outward when viewed from above. If that is confusing, just stand up and look down at your feet. Angle them inward toward the center of your body. When the tires on your car are angled the same way (remember, we’re thinking in terms of birds-eye-view), we call this toe-in alignment. Angle your feet outward and you have toe-out alignment. Both require adjustment.

Caster angles:

Your caster angle helps balance steering, stability, and cornering. Specifically, it is the angle of your steering axis when viewed from the side of your vehicle. If you have positive caster, the steering axis will tilt toward the driver. Negative caster, on the other hand, means the steering axis tilts toward the front of your vehicle. Think of the front caster wheels on a shopping cart.
