Description Our founder, Chip Wood, started out in a single bay, concrete block building. Humble doesn’t begin to describe it. But, Chip knew that if he treated his customers and their cars with care while focusing on transparency in pricing and providing the highest level of service – he’d do alright.
Now, with 190+ stores and growing fast, we’re rooted in Chip’s founding values and practices. And we’re still leading the industry with innovations like a free alignment with a 4-tire standard installation, and our exclusive valet service, Skip the Shop.
We’re the largest 100% family-owned tire and automotive dealer in the U.S. – and the eighth largest independent tire dealer overall. Our partnerships with 20 different tire manufacturers and inventory of over 327,000 tires mean our customers can find exactly what they need when they need it. And we continue to separate ourselves by treating people and cars with respect while focusing on transparency and service.
Headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, we employ nearly 2,000 people, with over 190 locations across Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, and Virginia. No matter where you find us – or if you join us as a customer or a team member – you can be sure your experience is up to Chip’s high standards.
We do what’s best for our customers. And we’ve got the credentials to prove our model works.
