Established tire dealer and commercial tire service business in northwest Ohio,
family-operated for more than seven decades. The company sells and services
tires only — no automotive mechanical work, no brakes, exhaust, or suspension.
That focus keeps the equipment set narrow, the technician skill set easier to
hire and train for, and the working capital lighter.
Approximately half of revenue is new commercial, off-the-road (OTR), and farm
tire sales to fleet, construction, and agricultural customers. Another 20% is
retail passenger and light-truck tires. The rest is hourly service labor.
Emergency breakdown calls are dispatched to the company through a national tire
manufacturer's breakdown-service program. The manufacturer holds the account
with the fleet and pays the company within a few days.
There is effectively no advertising program.
New business comes from an outside
salesperson working a 30-40 mile radius and from decades of word-of-mouth
referral. The company maintains long-running relationships with nearby school
districts and state authorities. Two-tier distribution relationships with major
manufacturer keep average inventory near $70,000.
This business is a good fit for an owner-operator stepping into an established
book of commercial business with manufacturer relationships and a team already
in place - or a strategic buyer (existing tire dealer, multi-location service
operator, fleet service company) adding an Ohio location with commercial, OTR,
and farm volume plus roadside dispatch participation.
