There is strength in numbers, and the number of ITDG memberships has tripled in the last ten years.
Growth like this only happens when you are doing something right.
We currently represent more than over 1,100 independent tire and auto service locations in 46 states across the country. The majority of our members are also shareholders of ITDG, entitling them to receive the substantial dividend payments that are issued each year. 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.”
“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 one-year roadside assistance.”
“We love the volume bonuses; it’s like found money.”
ITDG is governed by a board of directors comprised of owner members that are elected by ITDG stockholder members. Decades of industry experience and a lean organization create low operating costs for the group, driving profits back to our shareholders — independent tire dealers like you.
ITDG members have consolidated buying power with some of the biggest names in the business.
Collective buying power is a tremendous advantage with an ITDG membership. We 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. 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.
