BestDrive, a commercial tire dealer and retreader focusing on Continental tire offerings, has opened two new tire centers in Texas. Established in 2010, BestDrive – known as Continental BestDrive in Texas – now has 24 commercial tire centers across the United States, with plans to expand into seven additional states by the end of 2019. BestDrive's tire centers in Dallas suburb Grand Prairie and San Antonio mark the company's first entry in that state.

The company's location in Dallas suburb Grand Praire, which opened in May 20, is a 100,000-square-foot retread shop and tire center and will provide new tires, services, and ContiTread retread tires for customers in the Dallas Fort Worth area, as well as manufacturing retreads to supply nearby BestDrive service centers. Strategically located near Texas I-30, it is ideal for access by the company’s long-haul, regional haul, and on/off-road fleet customers. The retread mega-shop has room for up to two additional curing chambers as volume increases.

The company's location in San Antonio, opened in June 21, is located at the major intersection of Texas interstates 10 and 410. The 24,000-square-foot service center will distribute ContiTread retread tires produced at the Dallas shop, as well as providing new tires and services.

“We are excited to open these locations in Dallas and San Antonio because it allows us to honor our commitment to our fleet customers to provide them seamless and consistent coverage across the country,” said Sonny Simpson, managing director of BestDrive. “Having two new locations in Texas will allow us to produce and distribute our product to the region with higher speed, and will allow us the opportunity to provide the world class service that our customers have learned to expect from our company.”

“Continental is proud to continue expanding our nationwide footprint with our BestDrive stores,” Steve Postel, Continental’s director of retail for the Americas region. “We are committed to a future in which all fleets, large and small, have convenient local access to ContiTread retreads and best-in-class services. Adding two locations in Texas equips us to better serve our existing fleet customers as well as offering BestDrive’s signature expertise and customer-oriented service portfolio to local businesses.”
