Telle Tire & Auto Acquires Car-Doc Automotive and Tire

Telle Tire & Auto Centers has acquired the assets of Car-Doc Automotive & Tire in Maryland Heights, MO. Car-Doc Automotive is a shop in the St. Louis market, featuring a facility with 11,000 sq. feet and 10 service bays.

According to Telle Tire, Car-Doc created a following in the area for specialized repairs and has a strong presence in electric and hybrid vehicle repair services.

Telle Tire currently operates under five brands, including:

KC Complete Auto & Tire in Kansas City, MO;
Jerry’s Tire Sales in Edwardsville, IL;
The Auto Clinic in Lee’s Summit, MO;
Car-Doc Automotive in Maryland Heights, MO.

Telle Tire said it is continually evaluating what makes the most sense for each brand and business acquired. The company said Car-Doc has built a loyal customer following through strong fleet expertise, hybrid and electric vehicles along with complicated diagnostics. This purchase marks the third acquisition and fifth new store location for the St. Louis-based dealership in 2023 and Telle now has 23 locations across Missouri and Illinois.

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.
