WE ARE HAPPY TO WISH RTA MEMBER SERVICE TIRE TRUCK CENTERS MANY MORE HAPPY YEARS OF PROVIDING THE BEST SERVICE AND RETREADS TO ITS CUSTOMERS, AND WE ARE REALLY PROUD TO HAVE THEM IN THE RTA FAMILY.

Service Tire Truck Centers is celebrating its 60th anniversary of service.

(The following article first appeared in RTA member Tire Review)

Over the past sixty years, the family-owned company has grown to more than 40 locations in eight northeastern states and has more than 800 employees.

STTC was originally founded by Walt Dealtrey Sr. in 1955 as the independent Goodyear car tire dealer Bethlehem Tire & Battery. The company expanded into commercial tires in 1967 as Service Tire Truck Centers with the opening of Bandag Retread Franchise, where the company made six tires a day.

In 2006, the company's three retread franchise were changes to Michelin Retread Technology. According to the company, it currently produces more than 1,200 retreads a day.

And, we are proud to tell you that Service Tire Truck Centers was one of the first companies to join the Retread Tire Association back in our early days! (Thank you Allen and Walt)

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

"Be authentic.
Don't try to be someone you aren't. You'll hate yourself for it
and the effort to maintain the facade will exhaust you.
Be real! Many won't like the real you
but that's better than having people adore the person
that isn't you at all."
~ Larry Winget
