Les Schwab Tires Buys Pete’s Road Service, Further Expanding Its Commercial Business

February 3, 2025

Bend, OR — Les Schwab Tires, one of the leading independent tire dealers in the United States, has acquired Southern California commercial tire business Pete’s Road Service, the two companies announced today.

Founded in 1969 by Pete Fletcher as a gas station and tire shop, Pete’s has grown to include 10 stores, one retread plant and a warehouse/distribution center focused on small commercial fleets. The company will continue to operate using the Pete’s Road Service brand, under Les Schwab Tires ownership.

“Pete’s is one of the strongest and largest independent commercial tire dealers in Southern California, and this acquisition is a great opportunity for Les Schwab Tires,” said CEO Mike Broberg. “We’re excited to welcome Pete’s into our combined family of brands - including 12-store CMC Tire in Utah, Nevada and Colorado - and to benefit from the unique perspectives and capabilities of its 175 team members.”

Broberg added that Les Schwab, CMC and Pete’s are well aligned and operate under the same core values. “We share a culture of excellent customer service and a commitment to supporting and creating opportunities for our employees,” he said.

“After 50 great years in business, the time was right for new ownership,” said Pete’s President Kyle Fletcher. “Les Schwab Tires has the resources, customer focus and expertise to foster our success for the next 50 years.”

No changes to staffing are planned at either company following the acquisition.
