About Thomas Tire & Automotive We strive to build long term, mutually beneficial relationships with our customers by providing top-quality products and services. Using a solution-based sales approach, we seek to create value for customers. We distinguish ourselves from competitors through integrity, innovation, efficiency and community involvement. In 1981 Paul Thomas, realizing the need for a commercial tire market, left a management position to pursue a dream of owning his own business. Paul, along with his wife Sandra, started Thomas Tire in the driveway of their family’s home. Having a customer-first mindset, Paul grew his dream over the years to become one of the area’s largest independently owned tire companies.
