Modern Tire’s right over by Blue Back Square, that swanky West Hartford shopping center, and triple-decade owner John DeSimone says his car shop’s been renovated to fit the location. "We completely redid the showroom," he says; the floors are all hardwood now. DeSimone -- who’s handy with his iPad and says he’s excited about the current shift in the industry to electric cars -- is a forward-thinking guy. Modern Tire does all kinds of services (not just tires), and stays up on all the new car-fixers’ tech.
