Sun Auto Tire & Service continues to grow its Midwest presence with the acquisition of the Main Street Tire & Auto location in Virden, Illinois. The store officially joins the Sun Auto Network and will rebrand as Plaza Tire Service.

Ters of the deal were not made public.

Plaza Tire Service, known as the ‘Quick Change Artist’, has supported the Midwest for over 60 years. The acquisition strengthens Plaza Tire Service’s presence in Illinois and expands service coverage in the region through a trusted community location backed by the resources of a national network.

“Virden represents an important opportunity to continue growing the Plaza Tire Service brand in Illinois. This location allows us to expand our reach while reinforcing the operational strength and consistency our network is known for,” said Rob Kingery, Regional Vice President, Operations.

As part of the Sun Auto Network, the Virden location will benefit from operational support, advanced technology and customer-focused tools designed to enhance the overall service experience while maintaining the local relationships customers know and trust. The location will offer a full range of automotive care, including an array of top tire brands with Sun Auto’s price match guarantee, alignments, brake service, oil changes, batteries, diagnostics and preventative maintenance.

The addition marks the 16th location in Illinois and further supports Sun Auto’s continued expansion across key Midwest markets.

Sun Auto Tire & Service owns and operates more than 575 tire and service centers across the United States.
