eBay Motors Expands Installation Services For Tire Buyers

eBay Motors has expanded its tire installation offerings for shoppers. eBay said users can now choose a preferred local installation provider from more than 5,000 locations nationwide and book service by entering tire size details and selecting a local shop for shipping and installation.

“From casual commuters to seasoned DIYers, most buyers have their tires installed by a professional,” said Ron Jaiven, general manager of parts and accessories, eBay Motors. “eBay Motors now has a complete solution that helps buyers of all skill levels find the right tires for their vehicle, book an appointment at their convenience and have them professionally installed by a local shop.”

eBay Motors said it is bringing access to the service within a five-mile radius of the average shopper together with tire installation partners CarAdvise and SimpleTire, and shops like Firestone and PepBoys.

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company has named Ryan Waldron as president of the company's Americas business unit, reporting to Chief Executive Officer and President Mark Stewart. He succeeds Steven R. McClellan, who retired on April 1.

"At Goodyear, our customers are at the center of everything we do, and in Ryan Waldron, we have a customer-centric, execution-focused business leader with a deep understanding of both the marketplace and all aspects of our business, as well as a proven track record of delivering results," Stewart said.
