Flushing is 10.5 miles from the center of New York, the farthest of New York Tire Shop's 20 service areas from downtown. Corona, 2.6 miles away, is the nearest listed reference point, with the shop's Long Island City base considerably farther out than that.
A trip from Flushing is long enough that it's worth timing rather than just showing up — 10.5 miles from the center of New York, the longest distance of any area this page covers. Corona sits closest at 2.6 miles, and the next reference point is simply listed as Queens, 3.6 miles further out.
That's not a reason to skip it — Flushing is one of 20 areas the shop actively lists — but it is a reason to pick the hour of the trip on purpose instead of by accident.
How far is Flushing from the shop, really?
10.5 miles is the longest single number among the areas covered here, and it puts Flushing well outside a quick-errand radius. Corona, at 2.6 miles, is the closest thing to a nearby reference point; after that, the nearest listed area is simply Queens itself, 3.6 miles further out. None of that changes what happens once a car is actually on the rack — it just changes how much of the day the trip takes up.
Should I call ahead before making the drive?
For a distance this size, yes — confirming the visit before leaving beats finding the bay full after twenty-some minutes on the road. Weekday hours run 7 AM to 8 PM Monday through Thursday and to 7 PM on Friday and Saturday, so there's room to time the trip around traffic instead of around the schedule.
Sunday is the tighter window: 8 AM to 5 PM, which matters more coming from Flushing than it does from anywhere closer in.
How far is Flushing from the shop?
10.5 miles from the center of New York — more than any other area this business lists. Corona, at 2.6 miles, is the nearest listed reference point to Flushing.
Is Flushing too far to be worth the trip?
Distance isn't the same as coverage — Flushing is one of 20 areas the shop actively serves, not an edge case. It just takes longer to get there than it does from Queens neighborhoods closer to the counter.
What's the best time to drive in from Flushing?
Weekday mornings, since the shop opens at 7 AM and stays open until 8 PM Monday through Thursday. Sunday's shorter 8 AM–5 PM window leaves less margin for a long drive.
