Family-owned and operated Tire Discounters, the nation’s eighth-largest independent tire retailer, has opened its newest location in Ooltewah – the fourth store in the Chattanooga region.
Located at 6025 Mountain View Dr., the latest addition to the company will feature 7,900 square-feet of space, eight service bays and will employ 15 people.
Tire Discounters is celebrating its 40th anniversary and has grown to more than 100 locations across Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee and Georgia. Earlier this year, the company reached a milestone when it opened its 100th store in nearby Fort Oglethorpe.
“We take pride in offering the best value to every customer, and do it all with a smile,” said Jamie Ward, Tire Discounters’ president and COO. “We are so proud to serve the Ooltewah community and are excited to continue our growth in the region.”
Tire Discounters built its business on giving its customers complimentary services that extend the life of tires and improve overall performance, said officials. Tire Discounters’ Standard Installation includes mounting and balancing, tire repair and rubber valve stems along with lifetime rotation, air pressure adjustments and balancing.
“I love being able to introduce Tire Discounters to the Ooltewah community,” says Janet Roach, general manager of the new store. “The reason I chose to come and work for Tire Discounters was their total commitment to making the customer come first. I was born in Fort Oglethorpe and raised in the Chattanooga area, and I want customers for life.”
Tire Discounters is known as the “home of the free alignment,” providing this service free of charge with any 4-tire purchase with standard installation, so customers get safer handling, longer lasting tires and improved fuel efficiency, said officials.
Most name brand tires and value-based tires are in stock, with virtually all brands available. Tire Discounters also offers a full menu of factory-recommended maintenance services performed by ASE-certified technicians.
Tire Discounters is currently hiring sales people, management trainees, mechanics and technicians of all experience levels across the region. Interested candidates can apply online at www.tirediscounters.com/careers.
