Sun Auto Tire & Service Inc. continues to expand its footprint in Texas, this time with the acquisition of McSpadden’s Tire & Automotive Inc., a four-store, retail-focused dealership serving the Austin market.
Raymond and Dianne McSpadden started McSpadden's Tire & Automotive in 1999. Sun Auto Tire & Service acquired their stores at these locations:
- 4241 South Congress (Congress)
- 14422 West Highway 71 (Bee Cave)
- 14824 North Interstate 35 (Wells Branch)
- 420 South FM 1626 (Buda)
Combined, the stores have 36 bays — eight each at the stores in Congress, Bee Cave and Wells Branch, and 12 bays in Buda.
The stores add to Sun Auto Tire & Automotive's presence in Austin. The company also has locations in Houston, San Antonio and Dallas/Fort Worth. Sun Auto has 207 stores across Texas, Arizona, California, Oklahoma and Nevada. (Sun Auto is the new name for GB Auto Service Inc.)
Sun Auto's CEO Frank Kneller talked about the company's strategy for the future.
