Plaza Tire Service

Plaza Tire Service is a regional tire and automotive service provider with a strong presence across Missouri, Illinois, Arkansas, and Indiana. The company was founded in 1963 in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, starting as a single-location tire retailer. Over the past six decades, Plaza Tire Service has grown steadily, building a reputation for reliable service and direct relationships with major tire manufacturers.

As of December 2024, Plaza Tire Service operates 78 company-owned locations, not franchises, throughout the Midwest. The brand has accelerated its expansion in recent years, opening new stores in Illinois, Indiana, and Arkansas in late 2024. This growth is supported by its parent company, Sun Auto Tire & Service, which manages over 525 locations nationwide and provides additional resources for Plaza Tire Service’s ongoing development.

Plaza Tire Service focuses on freestanding, full-service automotive centers situated in established retail corridors and growing suburban markets. Each location offers tire sales, installation, and a comprehensive range of maintenance and repair services. The company’s commitment to operational consistency and long-term occupancy makes it a dependable tenant for commercial properties.

In the past five years, Plaza Tire Service has actively pursued new markets and expanded its footprint beyond its original base, leveraging its parent company’s scale while maintaining its local brand identity. Real estate contacts for new site selection and development are managed through Sun Auto’s corporate team, ensuring a professional approach to growth and site acquisition. Plaza Tire Service remains committed to expanding in both existing and adjacent Midwest markets, reflecting a stable and growth-oriented posture that is notable within the automotive service sector.
