Tires Plus Total Car Care Revenue and Competitors

Tires Plus was launched in 1976 by two Shell Oil colleagues — Tom Gegax and Don Gullett — with three old Shell service stations in the Burnsville, Minnesota area. Their idea was to redefine an industry. Today, with headquarters in Clearwater, Florida, Tires Plus Total Car Care attributes its success to defying the old stereotypes of the automotive industry. Walk into a Tire Plus store and you immediately notice the brightly lit, colorfully merchandised showroom. You’re greeted by a clean, well–dressed, well–trained service professional. With the philosophy "We won’t sell you tires, we help you buy them," you can be confident that tires and services will never be recommended if they are not needed. This straightforward, honest approach is the basis of Tires Plus success and has helped make us part of the largest tire retailing group in the country.
