Meet Steve Bass

Steve Bass is a 1976 graduate of Dickson County High School in Dickson Tennessee. After graduation, Steve left his grocery store job to go to work for the Dickson Farmers CO-OP. The first day on the job at the CO-OP, Steve was assigned to the tire shop, and his tire career was born. In 1977, Steve went to work for Universal Tire in Nashville as a retail tire salesman. In 1978 he was assigned his first retail store on Nolensville Road, just shy of his 20th birthday. By 1986 Steve managed the Nashville Retail Branch stores for Universal Tire.  

Steve and Kim with the help of an investor, (Marvin Fly), opened Bass Tire in 1988. Steve’s first  Bass Tire building was an old radiator shop at the corner of Morton Ave. and Nolensville Road. His next and current building is next door to Grassmere Zoo. Including his years with Universal  Tire, Steve has served the Nolensville Road community for over 46 years.
