Sun Auto Tire Launches Corporate Giving Program

July 15, 2021

Sun Auto Tire & Service Inc. has rolled out its corporate charitable giving program, Accelerating Success, which will enable the company "to focus its charitable efforts on supporting and partnering with communities" through areas schools.

 “At Sun Auto Tire & Service, we pride ourselves on generating goodwill and demonstrating appreciation for our brand’s communities and its members," says Sun Auto Tire CEO Frank Kneller.

"By supporting them through their local schools, we are providing future generations with the tools that will accelerate their continued growth. This company-wide program ensures that these communities and schools are receiving the assistance they need from the brands in their community that are passionate about their success.”

Sun Auto Tire, which was previously known as GB Auto Service Inc, has given back to communities where its stores operate "in numerous ways, including donating $24,000 worth of restaurant gift cards to schools in Tucson, inviting local high school marching bands to help celebrate store grand openings in Houston and donating $11,000 to local Tulsa charities during a community event called the Tire Rodeo."

The company has 200 locations that operate under a wide variety of brand names, including Evans Tire & Service Centers, Goodguys Tires & Auto Repair, Lamb's Tire & Automotive Centers, Ramona Tire, Tate Boys Tire & Service and others.

It is the sixth largest independent tire dealership in the U.S., according to the 2021 MTD 100, which can be accessed here, along with an interview with Kneller about Sun Auto Tire's plans for the rest of 2021.
