The new TC33 series tire changers from Hunter Engineering Co. have been designed for tire dealerships that have limited space or offer mobile tire service.

Bridgestone Americas Inc. continues to invest in mobile-focused automotive services, and its latest project is as a minor investor in another Nashville-based business, Yoshi — a company that offers on-site services such as refueling, car wash and detailing, oil changes and vehicle inspections.

Bridgestone Americas Inc. has purchased 10% share in Wrench, a mobile vehicle services company. The partnership "paves the way" for the companies to "explore synergies in their service offerings, including pairing Bridgestone's 2,200-plus company-owned stores with Wrench's complementary mobile services marketplace."

Bridgestone Americas Inc. is launching a mobile tire and vehicle service for consumers and fleets under the Firestone Direct name. The service - currently available through Bridgestone company-owned stores in four metro markets - will offer tire installation and repair, as well as oil changes, brake work and other services.
