Mesa, Ariz.-based Sun Auto Tire & Service Inc. has acquired two Larry Harer Goodyear stores  - one in Newark, Ohio, and another in Heath, Ohio.

This acquisition further strengthens the Sun Auto footprint in central Ohio, following the acquisition of seven Boyd’s Tire locations in 2024,” say Sun Auto Tire & Service officials.

Founded in 1978, Larry Harer Goodyear locations have been a staple in Licking County for nearly 50 years. The company has been voted ‘Best Oil Change’ and ‘Best Tire Shop’ by readers of the Newark Advocate for several years running and has developed a strong customer base thanks to their trusted automotive care.

“Dependable service and long-lasting guest relationships are central to our success and sterling reputation,” says owner Larry Harer. “We’re proud of that reputation and we’re confident that Sun Auto shares our dedication to treating both our employees and the communities we serve with respect and honor."

With more than 500 locations, Sun Auto Tire & Service is one of the 10 largest independent tire dealerships in the United States, according to the 2024 MTD 100.
