Harness The Buying Power of ITDG

Harness the
Buying Power of ITDG
Buy like you have 1,500 stores regardless
of how many locations you have.
Michael Cox, President & CEO
Ed Long, V.P. Sales & Marketing
When you become a member of the Independent Tire Dealers Group
(ITDG), you will enjoy all the benefits of a large retailer with 1500 stores.
Most of our members are tire dealers who want to keep their own
identity and independence. We wouldn’t want it any other way. Our
group buying power will give you a tremendous pricing advantage in your
local community. But pricing is just one of many benefits you will receive
from ITDG. Our members also enjoy other competitive advantages that
make joining the ITDG team a very smart business decision, regardless of
how many locations you have.

Strength is in numbers, and the number of ITDG
memberships has doubled in the last six years.
You don’t grow as fast as we have unless you are doing something right.
We currently represent more than 300 independent tire and auto service locations in 23 states across the
country. Most of our members are also shareholders of ITDG, which entitles them to receive the
“substantial” dividend payments we have issued through the years. In fact, many of our
independent dealers have reported back that joining ITDG was the smartest
business decision they have ever made.
Here is a sampling of the comments
we have heard from our members:
“Profits are up because we’re
buying at such great prices.”
ITDG welcomed Georgia
member, Ronnie Ward Tire
in 2008 – they became
stockholders the same year.
“Our product line is continually
growing and becoming more
diverse and that’s attracting more
customers.”
“We’re saving money buying
our workers’ comp insurance and
financing our new equipment
through ITDG programs.”
“Our customers love the
flexible terms of the ITDG credit
card program and the free oneyear roadside assistance.”
“We love the volume bonuses;
it’s like found money.”

ITDG members have super buying
power with some of the biggest
names in the
business.
Collective buying power is a
tremendous advantage with an
ITDG membership. We are able to
negotiate favorable pricing with
some of the world’s largest tire
manufacturers and other automotive
industry leaders, companies that don’t typically have relationships
with one-store businesses. But as an ITDG member, you will have
access to very attractive pricing programs with these companies. It’s
strength in numbers. And it’s the best way for you to lower your
costs and raise your margins.
ITDG has helped grow their business.
Now it’s your turn.
“My family has been involved
in the tire business for over 70
years and have provided four
generations of service to our
customers. We are happy
members of the ITDG family.”
– Rod Bowen, Jack’s Tire & Oil,
Logan, UT
“Our company joined ITDG in
1998. We felt that there would
be “strength in numbers.”
Because we could combine our
purchases with other dealers
like ourselves, we lowered our
acquisition costs and earned a
volume bonus. Once we
became owners, we also earned dividends. Our sales
and profits have increased and we have a much better
cash flow. Joining ITDG is one of the best business
decisions we have made.”
– Bob Slagle, S & S Tire Co., Goodyear, AZ
“You pay attention to your
business – ITDG pays attention
to your suppliers.”
– Arnie Sperling, Globe Tire,
Los Angeles, CA
“We have been approached by
many different types of groups
that we have been hesitant to
join. We decided to try the
ITDG program and it has been
a perfect fit for our company.
It allows us the freedom to
purchase what and when we
want as well as the buying power we need to be
successful. The companies we have dealt with have
increased our purchases and we are able to buy from
vendors that we could never get competitive pricing
from. The vendors have been great and the support
from the ITDG staff has been excellent.”
– Marv Monsrud, Industrial Tire Service, Portland, OR
“From tires, wheels, parts,
insurance and dozens of other
automotive related suppliers,
nobody does it better than
ITDG. Buying factory direct
allows our company to
compete with big chain tire
stores. As an Independent
dealer I believe we all need to belong to a buying
group that helps us with better buying power and ITDG
does that and more. They have been the best group of
independent tire dealers that we have ever been
associated with in 29 years. So join now!”
– Les Mclea, Mclea’s Tire & Automotive, Santa Rosa, CA
