Dobbs Tire & Auto Centers Expands into Ohio with Acquisition of Conrad’s Tire Express and Total Car Care

HIGH RIDGE, Mo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dobbs Tire & Auto Centers (“Dobbs” or “the Company”), a leading tire and automotive services retailer based in High Ridge, Missouri and among the top 25 independent tire dealers in the United States, announced today its acquisition of Cleveland-based Conrad’s Tire Express and Total Car Care (“Conrad’s”).

Founded as a family-owned and operated business in 1969, Conrad’s has 39 locations across northeast Ohio and provides comprehensive automotive maintenance and repair services, using the highest quality replacement parts.

The transaction solidifies the combined business as a leading tire and automotive service provider across the Midwest and South-Central U.S., with 97 retail locations across Missouri, Ohio, Illinois, and Texas. The combination strengthens both organizations, enhancing operational capabilities and expanding customer reach while maintaining their shared commitment to best-in-class service. Conrad’s experienced management team will continue to provide leadership and expertise, ensuring a seamless transition for customers and associates.

“I couldn’t be more excited to continue to grow the Conrad’s brand. We will continue to offer excellent service and products to our customers while investing in the training, equipment and associates to enhance the customer experience,” said Dustin Dobbs.

“Dobbs is the perfect partner to continue Conrad’s legacy of exceptional customer service and community commitment,” said Eric Turk. “Their investment in our people and operations ensures our customers will continue to receive the highest level of care.”

“I look forward to working with the Dobbs team as we enter this next chapter of growth,” said Chris Turk. “With Dobbs’ support, we are well-positioned for continued success.”

The acquisition marks another milestone in Dobbs’ success. In 2024, the Company opened two new stores at the Lake of the Ozarks and in O’Fallon, Missouri, and acquired Longview, Texas-based Automotive Super Center and Columbia, Missouri-based Custom Complete Automotive.

Capstone Partners served as financial advisor to Conrad’s Tire Express and Total Car Care.
