Ruth Besecker and her husband Don moved to South Florida from Pennsylvania in their 20's. The couple opened the Goodyear dealership, Easy Pay Tire, on Federal Highway in 1964. In 1970, the Beseckers moved their shop across the street to where it is now. "This is part of our family. It's the store. It's what my brother and I grew up in," Doug Besecker said. "My father, the business, I knew it was my goal to make sure it stayed successful and stayed the way that he ran it." Doug Besecker, who with his brother Dave, worked at the store as youngsters, left the family business for about 10 years. Doug came back in 1991, and took over after his dad suddenly died in 2006. 

This past year, Easy Pay Tire celebrated its 50 year anniversary. Very few Boynton businesses have had such longevity. Easy Pay Tire's 50 years is also special to Goodyear. Out of about 5,000 Goodyear dealerships, just 100 have been in business more than 50 years.
