Strength is in numbers, and the number of ITDG memberships
has doubled in the last six years.
ITDG welcomed Georgia member, Ronnie Ward Tire in 2008 they became stockholders the same year.
You don't grow as fast as we have unless you are doing something right. We currently represent more than 300 independent tire and auto service locations in 23 states across the country. Most of our members are also shareholders of ITDG, which entitles them to receive the substantial dividend payments we have issued through the years. In fact, many of our independent dealers have reported back that joining ITDG was the smartest business decision they have ever made.

Here is a sampling of the comments we have heard from our members: Profits are up because we're buying at such great prices. Our product line is continually growing and becoming more diverse and that's attracting more customers. We're saving money buying our workers' comp insurance and financing our new equipment through ITDG programs. Our customers love the flexible terms of the ITDG credit card program and the free one-year roadside assistance. We love the volume bonuses; it's like found money.
The ITDG team brings some of the biggest names
in the business to your doorstep.
Teamwork is the key to our success.
ITDG is governed by a board of directors comprised of owner members that are elected by ITDG stockholder members. Day to day operations are managed by president & CEO Mike Cox, vice president of sales & marketing Ed Long and our Western regional manager Chris Barry. We're lean and have decades of industry experience that have led to very low operational expense but very large profits for our members and owners - independent tire dealer just like you.
ITDG members have super buying power with some of the biggest names in the business. Collective buying power is a tremendous advantage with an ITDG membership. We are able to negotiate favorable pricing with some of the world's largest tire manufacturers and other automotive industry leaders, companies that don't typically have relationships with one-store businesses. But as an ITDG member, you will have access to very attractive pricing programs with these companies. It's strength in numbers. And it's the best way for you to lower your costs and raise your margins.
Profits are up because we're buying at such great prices.
