Belle Tire, the Allen Park-based independent tire and vehicle services retailer, has acquired all 18 Tireman Auto Service Center locations in northwest Ohio and southern Michigan. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
“Absorbing Tireman into the Belle Tire family makes perfect sense. We share similar cultural values, the communities we serve are important, and customer service is the bottom line,” says Don Barnes III, president of Belle Tire. “That would not be possible without the people in the stores and taking care of them like family.”
Belle Tire entered the Toledo area 20 years ago and has four stores in the market. The acquisition of Tireman will enable Belle Tire to better service all greater Toledo and northwest Ohio.
“I can’t imagine a better partner to take over now that I have decided to retire. Belle Tire is a family-owned company like us, they value their people and believe in doing the right thing for customers like we do,” says Randy Jones, CEO of Tireman.
Combined, the companies have more than 175 years of history, with Belle Tire opening in 1922 and Tireman opening in 1948.
Belle Tire’s modern, state-of-the-art facilities offer a wide range of automotive services from alignments, brakes, batteries, shocks, struts, exhaust systems, glass replacement and repair, and more. Additionally, Belle Tire offers free services like flat repair, air for tires 24-hours a day, alignment checks, brake checks, tire rotations, balancing, and others.
Tireman offers similar services for tires, along with air conditioning, brakes, electrical, engine, exhaust, steering and suspension, and tune up repair services. It offers maintenance for oil, filters, fluids, batteries, shocks and struts, tires, and more.
