BestDrive Celebrates Grand Opening of Commercial Tire Centers in Georgia, Oklahoma, Texas, and Idaho
FORT MILL, SC… BestDrive,
LLC, a commercial tire dealer and retreader focusing on Continental tire
offerings, celebrated the opening of four locations in the second half of 2018,
including its first store in Oklahoma. Established in 2010, BestDrive now has
28 commercial tire centers across the United States. Oklahoma marks the
company’s 15th U.S. state.
On
November 6, the company celebrated the ribbon cutting of its location in
Oklahoma City, a 25,000-square-foot service center. The location will provide
new tires and services for customers in the greater Oklahoma City area, as well
as supplying ContiTread™ retread tires produced in the Dallas retread
plant.
“I’m
excited to be on the ground floor of BestDrive coming to the Oklahoma City
market,” said store operations manager Tracy Caine. “We pride ourselves on our
product – Continental, General Tire, ContiTread products, and others – and most
of all, our focus on customer service. We are here to help!”
The
following day, on November 7, the company inaugurated its location in Longview,
Texas. The service center is located just five minutes from Texas I-20 and is
centrally located on South Loop 281 to serve local East Texas fleets. It will
provide new tires, services, and ContiTread™ retread tires produced in the
Dallas retread plant.
In
the second half of 2018, BestDrive also acquired a service center in Marietta,
Georgia, to support its Forest Park retread plant, and opened a sales office in
Idaho Falls, Idaho, to support its retread plant in Salt Lake City.
“BestDrive
offers best-in-class service to fleet customers large and small,” said Sonny
Simpson, managing director of BestDrive, LLC. “With these additional locations
in Oklahoma, Texas, Georgia, and Idaho, we are able to serve our customers more
efficiently and ensure fleets across the country can experience LODC: Lowest Overall
Driving Cost.”
BestDrive
plans to inaugurate additional locations in Texas, California, and Arkansas in
the near future, bringing the company’s presence to a total of 17 U.S. states
by the end of first quarter 2019.
“BestDrive’s
continued expansion allows us to better serve our long haul, regional haul, and
on/off-road fleet customers,” said Steve Postel, Continental’s director of
retail for the Americas region. “Continental is committed to giving fleets
convenient access to the latest technology, from carefully engineered tires to
matching retreads, as well as digital tire monitoring technology to help fleets
reduce costs and extend the life of their tires.”
BestDrive
commercial tire centers offer total fleet tire management with Continental,
General Tire, and AmeriSteel brand products, as well as other supplemental tire
brands. The dealerships equip fleets with new tires and ContiTread retread
solutions as part of the ContiLifeCycle program, designed to lower costs and
prolong the life of a Continental tire.
In
addition to new and retread tires, BestDrive can help fleets select and
implement innovative technology such as ContiPressureCheck™
tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), ContiConnect™ remote
digital tire monitoring, and Continental’s VDO Roadlog for ELD Mandate
compliance. These solutions will help businesses reduce tire-related
breakdowns, eliminate manual tire pressure checks, improve fuel efficiency, and
extend the life of tires and casings.
Services available at all BestDrive outlets include commercial tire mounting, dismounting, and balancing, 24-hour service, wheel refinishing, new and used wheels, air-up programs, commercial truck alignments and fleet checks. The stores also offer passenger and light truck tires, however, BestDrive is focused primarily on commercial truck service and OTR.
