Since our founder, Chip Wood, opened the doors to the first Tire Discounters over 45 years ago, we have been raising the bar in the tire and automotive service business.

Over 2000 strong, our team members are the best in the business and are actual employers 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 more!
