Big O Tire Center

Big O Tire Center has been empowering independent dealers since 1962, offering top-tier automotive services and unmatched customer loyalty through collective innovation. The company's story began during a time of surging demand for replacement tires as America's love for automobiles grew. In response to tough competition from major manufacturers' company stores, a group of forward-thinking independent tire dealers formed a tire-buying cooperative to secure volume pricing and maintain customer satisfaction. This strategy proved successful, leading to the evolution of Big O Tires into a comprehensive franchise with nearly 400 independently-owned and operated locations across 19 states. In 1996, Big O Tires aligned with TBC Corporation, one of North America's leading marketers of automotive replacement tires, which operates more than 3,200 franchised and company-operated service centers. Through this partnership, Big O Tires can leverage TBC's extensive global operations in wholesale, retail, and franchise sectors, offering top-tier brands and automotive maintenance and repair services aimed at surpassing customer expectations. As Big O Tires continues to succeed and adapt, it remains anchored in its original mission as a collective of independent dealers dedicated to prioritizing customers. The franchise has earned acclaim for its innovative franchising model and remarkable customer loyalty. With a rich history dating back to 1962, Big O Tires stands as one of North America's largest retail tire franchisors, continuously evolving to support independent dealerships and their customers.
