ACCC signs up southern Florida distributor

Dec. 16, 2003

South Dade Automotive has joined American Car Care Centers (ACCC) as a member distributor for the South Florida market.

South Dade Automotive, based in Miami, Fla., not only distributes Continental, General, Roadmaster, Falken and Nankang tires to the Miami, Palm Beach, Fort Meyers and Tampa, Fla., markets, but also to Latin America and countries in the Caribbean. It will add the Michelin Americas Small Tires and American Radial product lines to its distribution network.

"The American Car Care Centers program will help us build our domestic wholesale distribution business in the future," says Jorge Pola Jr., president of South Dade. "We realize that we must change the way we’ve gone to market in the past and offer our dealers a complete package."

"This is an important piece of business for ACCC," says Len Lewin, ACCC president and COO. "We have not had distribution in the Florida market for the past couple of years, and South Dade will provide us a foundation to build on."
