Tire Choice

What Tire Choice does

Tire Choice operates a national network of 1,115+ company-owned automotive service and tire retail locations across 28 U.S. states, anchored by 4,000+ certified technicians and a footprint of more than 60 years under Monro, Inc. (NASDAQ: MNRO). Core revenue is generated through transactional retail sales of tires from major brands (Goodyear, Michelin, Continental, Hankook, Yokohama, Cooper, Nexen, Pirelli), Valvoline-branded oil changes across three synthetic tiers, brake service packages (starting at $229.99), Duracell battery replacement, wheel alignment, exhaust/muffler repair, shocks/struts, A/C service, engine tune-ups, and scheduled maintenance. The proprietary ConfiDrive Performance Review, a 32-point multi-point inspection aligned to AMRA and MAP industry standards, is offered free with every visit and functions as both a service-quality differentiator and a customer-retention tool. A 30-day price guarantee on tires, lifetime warranties on certain parts, and appointment-free oil changes reinforce the consumer value proposition.

The business runs a hybrid go-to-market. The primary consumer motion is direct-to-consumer retail with walk-in and online appointment booking supported by website content, email, social media, and seasonal promotional campaigns. A parallel enterprise field-sales motion targets fleet management companies (Enterprise, Element, Holman, Merchants, BBL Fleet, EMKAY, Fleet Response), rental car operators (Hertz), local commercial fleets (6+ vehicles), and government accounts (including GSA), with a dedicated Strategic Accounts team offering standardized nationwide pricing. Digital channels include an online scheduling system, a mobile app with OCR-driven license plate scanning for vehicle identification, and a Tow To Auto Service roadside-assistance program that funnels stranded vehicles back into the store network. Exclusive supplier agreements with Valvoline (oil) and Duracell (batteries), combined with authorized-retailer status across the top five tire manufacturers, underpin cost-of-goods economics. Tire Choice is one of eight regional brands consolidated under Monro, Inc., including Mr. Tire, Tire Warehouse, Tire Barn, Allen Tire, Mountainview Tire and Auto Service, Car-X, and Ken Towery's Tire and Autocare, alongside a dedicated commercial fleet subsidiary.
