Graphic Design Co-Op (Spring)Butler Tire

Looking for an exciting opportunity to join a fast growing company? Then Tire Discounters is the right place for you!

Since our founder, Chip Wood, opened the doors to the first Tire Discounters over 40 years ago, we have been raising the bar in the tire and automotive business.  Family-owned and operated to this day, we've separated ourselves by treating customers and their cars with care and respect while focusing on transparency in pricing and providing the highest level of service.

Now nearly 2000 strong, our team members are the best in the business, so we also continue raising the bar as an employer of choice!  We separate ourselves by providing a variety of career paths, industry-leading training and development programs, clear advancement tracks, comprehensive benefit plans, and a focus on life balance!
