Buy a Tire Pros Franchise

Tire Pros is an automotive franchise built around tire sales and general vehicle service, including oil changes, brake work and wheel alignment. Founded in 1988, the brand operates as a subsidiary of American Tire Distributors (ATD), the largest tire distributor in North America.

The model is a conversion franchise: established independent tire and automotive service dealers join the Tire Pros system rather than building a store from scratch. Owners keep local ownership of their business while operating under a national brand, with access to ATD’s distribution network of more than 100 distribution centres and millions of tires in stock. The brand sums up its own positioning as independent, but never alone.

The network spans 500-plus locations and 350-plus owners across more than 40 states. Stores carry major tire brands such as Bridgestone, Firestone and Michelin, and customers are backed by national warranties on tires and service, 24/7 roadside assistance and branded financing. Tire Pros positions itself as the nation’s largest franchise network of independent tire and automotive service dealers.

Why buy a Tire Pros Franchise?

To buy a Tire Pros franchise is to take on an independently owned tire and auto service business trading under a recognised national brand. In a category supported by steady, non-discretionary demand for tire replacement and routine maintenance, the brand pairs local ownership with the purchasing power of ATD, North America’s largest tire distributor, giving owners competitive product access, exclusive vendor programs and rebate opportunities.

The model is unusual in carrying no percentage royalty: owners pay a fixed monthly fee instead, which keeps the franchise cost predictable as revenue grows. Owners also gain national warranties, 24/7 roadside assistance, consumer financing, a dedicated account manager and full-service marketing support, plus newer programs such as mobile tire installation to reach additional customers.

Tire Pros – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Incoming owners receive 36 hours of on-the-job initial training, with ongoing education through Tire Pros University and Owner Driven Councils that let franchisees shape network decisions. Each store works with a dedicated account manager and marketing specialist, backed by co-op advertising, paid search, social, streaming TV and an e-commerce website. Operational support includes field operations teams, proprietary software, a franchisee intranet, conventions and toll-free lines, plus tools for newer offerings like mobile tire installation. Resale buyers should confirm what onboarding and Tire Pros University access transfers with the sale.

  2. Ideal Owner

    Tire Pros suits hands-on, full-time operators who want to run a tire and automotive service business under a national brand while keeping local ownership. Because the model is built around converting or operating an existing store, it fits owners comfortable managing a shop team of technicians and service staff and focused on customer service, retention and local marketing. Automotive or tire-industry experience is an advantage, though training supports owners newer to the trade. The strongest candidates are community-minded operators who value purchasing scale and brand backing but want to keep day-to-day independence.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Tire Pros is widely recognised as the nation's largest franchise network of independent tire and automotive service dealers, a position reinforced by its parent, American Tire Distributors, the largest tire distributor in North America. The brand is a member of the International Franchise Association and has been listed in Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 directory. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific store's local standing, including online reviews, fleet accounts and community reputation within its territory.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US tire and automotive aftermarket is large and resilient, supported by more than 280 million vehicles on American roads and an average vehicle age now above 12 years, both of which sustain steady demand for replacement tires and routine maintenance. Tire replacement and repair are largely non-discretionary, giving the category stability across economic cycles, though revenue can be seasonal around weather-driven tire changes. For resale buyers, an established store in a high-traffic territory with repeat and fleet customers offers a durable, demand-led revenue base.
