Continental Tire the Americas LLC recently opened its 24th BestDrive commercial tire location, a facility in Charlotte, N.C.
The 49,000-square-foot outlet is equipped to handle “all light mechanical and service needs, including alignments, industrial press tires, balancing, wheel reconditioning and more,” according to Continental officials.
It also will distribute the company’s ContiTread retreads made at the BestDrive Carolina retread plant.
Located near Charlotte Douglas International Airport, the new center “is ideal for access by its long-haul, regional-haul and on/off-road fleet customers," according to Continental officials.
“We are extremely excited to be in the Carolinas and look forward to providing exceptional service and on-time delivery to the growing fleet business in this expanding market,” says Tom O’Niel, managing director, BestDrive.
“With the opening of this new store, we can bring Continental tires and innovation to our customers, which will be a game-changer for many,” says Gentry Asher, who manages the Charlotte BestDrive location.
Continental plans to expand its BestDrive operations in both North Carolina and South Carolina over the next several years.
“We see this as a great growth opportunity in a region with a strong and growing economy,” notes Jeff Puckett, Continental’s director of retail for its Americas region.
