The new service allows tire dealers to buy the rights to the number 1-800-Tire Store on an exclusive basis for their specific region.

The company has launched similar programs for the windshield repair and insurance industries, it said.

“What owning 1-800-Tire Store does for a tire company of any size is that it instantly brands and communicates to your customers what you do, and it makes it simple for them to call you first – without having to look up your phone number in the Yellow Pages,” said David Ashley, company president. “1-800-Tire Store effortlessly commits your number to memory.”

The exclusive coverage area is based on area code routing, he said.

For more information, call 800-948-0700 or visit www.1800tirestore.com.
