Cincinnati, Ohio-based Tire Discounters, the ninth largest independent provider of tires, wheels and auto repair services in the U.S., has more than 900 employees at 87 stores throughout the Midwest and is currently expanding into Nashville, TN with 12 locations planned beginning with the first store openings later this spring.

The main purpose of AMRA is to provide consumer communication programs like its Motorist Assurance Program (MAP). 

“For years, Tire Discounters has followed MAP Standards for Automotive Repair.,” says Nils Olsson, Director of Business Development for Tire Discounters. “Today, our new relationship with AMRA allows us to continue to ensure the best and most consistent service and repair process for all of our customers.” 

By utilizing the MAP Uniform Inspection and Communication Standards and following the MAP Process, Tire Discounters will join AMRA in helping strengthen the relationship between the motorist and the automotive maintenance and repair service industry. 

Additionally, Mr. Olsson will join MAP’s Technical Committee, and will be an active member of its Tires/Wheels/TPMS Sub-Committee, helping to represent the industry regarding all proposed and pending state and federal regulations, as well as helping to improve industry service and operations standards.
