What is the plot of Tires season 2?
Season 2 sees two new employees, Dix and Frankie, hired to work at the Valley Forge Automotive Center. Shane's estranged father, Phil (Thomas Haden Church), is also introduced in this season.
Will continues to struggle to keep the shop operating as he works overtime. He slowly begins to realize the toll of running a business amidst his determination to grow personally and professionally.
Shane, who is responsible for training Dix and Frankie, is immature and disruptive as ever. Surprisingly, he comes through for Will when help is needed. The emotional tension between Shane and his father, Phil, is also explored.
Phil, a wealthy businessman, purchases the repair shop from Will’s father, Jon, after Jon refuses to loan Will money for its expansion. Stepping in to save the struggling business, Phil partners with Will and Shane to keep the shop afloat, while also trying to repair his strained relationship with Shane.
Shane manages to solve the shop's financial problems temporarily with a discount offer he comes up with for vendors who regularly bring them business. However, that does not seem to be the long-term solution to save the shop.
