Founders of the New York-based Goodturn Tire & Auto announced the official launch of its automotive services platform focused on tire repair and maintenance services including locations in Michigan.
David Manning and Seth Sands have been actively building the automotive services platform for nearly three years, completing 14 acquisitions to grow Goodturn’s footprint to 24 locations representing 10 brands, collectively serving approximately 90,000 customers in 2023.
In Michigan, Goodturn is represented by Hal’s Auto Clinic in Farmington Hills and Northville, 10 metro Detroit locations of The Detroit Garage, and Chuck’s Garage in Lansing.
“Our strategic approach to M&A has helped us establish a robust market presence across Florida, Michigan, and North Carolina and we’re excited to continue to expand our reach under the Goodturn umbrella,” says Manning. “I am proud of the accomplishments we’ve achieved in just three years, fostering strong customer loyalty and an appreciation for our services, and I look forward to the next chapter of our expansion under this unified platform.”
As part of the launch, Christian Seem has been appointed president of Goodturn. Having most recently served as COO of the Spotless Car Wash Brands, Seem brings more than 20 years of experience across the multi-unit retail and auto-services industries.
“We’re proud to finally go to market with the launch of our new platform, Goodturn, and to officially welcome Christian as president,” Sands says. “The growth we’ve seen thus far is indicative of the strong conviction we place in our business model and exceptional team, proving our ability to scale in the highly fragmented automotive services market.”
