Sun Auto Enhances Regional Reach with Strategic Acquisitions
In an exciting development for the automotive service industry, Sun Auto has officially broadened its presence in the Southeast through two key acquisitions in Tennessee and Georgia. This expansion is particularly significant as it marks Sun Auto's inaugural venture into Georgia, thus extending its operational footprint to 27 states. The newly acquired locations, Highland Auto in Tennessee and Highland Tire at Sentry Station in Georgia, are now part of the Sun Auto Network, a move aimed at enhancing customer service and convenience across the region.
Chris Tavares, Senior Vice President of Operations at Sun Auto, articulated the importance of this geographic expansion, stating, “Entering the Southeast is a vital step in fortifying our national presence and positioning our network for sustainable growth. Our new Georgia location enables us to better serve a larger customer base while equipping our teams with essential resources to maintain consistency and support in pivotal markets.”
The acquisition not only emphasizes growth but also awaits the established reputation of these locations. Both Highland Auto and Highland Tire will operate under the Sun Auto Network, providing enhanced services that include 24/7 online appointment scheduling and comprehensive digital vehicle inspections. This customer-centered approach is guided by the company’s core principle, the Driver Commitment, which focuses on clarity, confidence, and a superior level of care.
Sun Auto's commitment to customer satisfaction extends to the services available at these locations. They will offer a comprehensive array of automotive care, featuring leading tire brands along with services such as alignments, brake servicing, oil changes, battery checks, diagnostics, and preventative maintenance. The new stores will also come equipped with advanced facilities to ensure that customers receive high-quality services with a price match guarantee on tires.
The move to integrate these two new locations into Sun Auto's growing network coincides with broader goals for the year, which notably includes establishing an additional presence in Colorado. This strategic growth reinforces Sun Auto's mission of ensuring a reliable automotive service experience across the nation.
More than just a business endeavor, this expansion plays a critical role in Sun Auto’s collaborative vision for community engagement. It reflects a dedication to not only improving operational efficiency but also aligning with the needs and preferences of the communities they serve. With over 575 locations currently operating across the United States, the Sun Auto Network is recognized as one of the largest independent tire and automotive service providers in the nation.
Sun Auto invests heavily in technology and training to ensure that each store’s team is well-equipped to meet customer needs, whether they are pursuing routine maintenance or navigating major repairs. The goal remains clear: to ensure confidence for all drivers behind the wheel, all while actively contributing meaningful support to the localities they become a part of.
As Sun Auto continues its trajectory of strategic acquisitions and growth, it remains focused on delivering an unparalleled customer experience built on its trusted principles. This expansion serves as a testament to the company’s commitment to service excellence; with the motto of “Drive Confidently,” it invites customers to learn more about its offerings and service philosophy at
