Canadian dealers can benefit from TIA/eBay Motors deal

May 19, 2008

Canadian members of the Tire Industry Association (TIA) are now eligible to be featured as "available installers" on eBay Motors' Web site, free of charge.

"There is no requirement to launch a Web site or even have a computer system in place," say TIA officials.

"TIA will provide basic contact information to eBay Motors on the members' behalf, including business name, address and phone numer. In addition, TIA will tell eBay Motors which markets (the dealers) serve and whether they employ TIA-certified technicians.

"When an eBay Motors customer has finished shopping, he or she can enter their zip code and select a busines in their area to perform service on their vehicle. The TIA logo will signify that a business is a member of TIA."
