About Mavis Tire, in their own words

From Mavis Tire

What began as Vic’s Cycle Shop in 1949 - a humble bike repair stand in Westchester County, New York - grew into a small chain of tire shops. In 1972, that local enterprise was rebranded as Mavis Tire Supply (inspired by its founders, Marion + Victor Sorbaro), becoming one of New York’s first multi-brand tire dealers. Through the 1970s and ’80s, Mavis was focused on delivering value-oriented service, and expanding carefully across the Northeast under the Sorbaro family’s leadership.

In 2018, Mavis Tire Supply merged with Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers and Brakes Plus to create a new national automotive care platform. The resulting company, Mavis Tire Express Services Corp., known as Mavis, continued to deliver value-oriented, best-in-class service and marked the beginning of a new phase of accelerated growth.

Today, Mavis is a national leader in tire and automotive services, boasting a family of brands which include Mavis Discount Tire, Mavis Tires & Brakes, Midas, Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers, Brakes Plus, Tire Kingdom, NTB (National Tire & Battery), Town Fair Tire, and Tuffy. From tires, oil changes, brakes, alignments, and batteries, to suspensions, exhaust work, and state inspections, we deliver it all with the same honest, community-first service that we’ve been known for since 1949. With more than 3,500 owned and franchised retail locations across the U.S. and Canada, Mavis serves millions of drivers each year, with a commitment to dependability, safety, convenience, and value.
