Straightaway Tire & Auto’s Victory Tire & Auto brand has acquired AutoPro Auto Service in Brooklyn Park, Minn., which was finalized on June 11.
This acquisition marks Victory Tire’s second location in Brooklyn Park and its 18th in the region.
“Working with Straightaway and Victory Tire and Auto couldn’t have gone any better - and I’m a tough critic,” says John Klarkowski, former owner of AutoPro Auto Service.
“Having known Jeff and Jason for a while, I already knew their core principles and character of how they run their businesses, so it was comforting to know they would have my best interests and that of my team in mind when pursuing our auto repair business. My team was my biggest concern, and they took complete care of everyone by listening and communicating with them. Every teammate left those meetings smiling. That says a lot.”
Victory Tire officials say AutoPro Auto Service is a “turnkey operation” and the acquisition reflects Straightaway Tire’s ongoing strategy to partner with established automotive repair facilities.
“For years, we’ve recognized the outstanding team and top-notch operation across town at Auto Pro Auto Service in Brooklyn Park,” says Jeff Matt, president at Victory Tire & Auto Brand.
“Their dedication to quality service and exceptional customer care is second to none, and we’ve always respected the way they run their business. It’s with great pleasure that we welcome their team into the Victory family and look forward to even more success in serving the Greater Brooklyn Park community together!”
Victory plans to support the experienced AutoPro team with additional resources, enabling them to continue delivering best-in-class service.
Victory Tire also acquired Reliable Auto Care in Buffalo, Minn., earlier this year.
