Icahn Automotive Group LLC has purchased four independently-owned service center locations in the Metro Detroit area.
Belanger Tire & Auto Service in Westland, Novi Motive Goodyear in Novi and Fix N Go Auto Centers in Troy and Oxford will convert into Pep Boys Service and Tire Centers.
The acquisitions follow Icahn’s previous announcement of a multi-million dollar expansion plan in Metro Detroit that includes Pep Boys store openings, existing store remodels, inventory expansion and the recent acquisitions of Precision Tune Auto Care and Phil Cavill’s Goodyear Tire and Auto Service Center in Clawson.
“Icahn Automotive’s acquisitions in the heart of the world’s automotive industry are an important step in expanding our North America service center footprint,” said Daniel A. Ninivaggi, Icahn Automotive CEO. ” We share the Motor City’s passion and pride for the industry’s history and future. We welcome the newest members to our team and will work together to serve their loyal customers while leveraging our expansive operations and efficient distribution model.”
Icahn manages more than 2,000 owned and franchised retail and service locations which operate in 49 states and Puerto Rico, Washington D.C. and Canada.
