From modest beginnings in 1926, McCarthy Tire has grown to be one of the top ten commercial tire dealers in North America. The company consists of 19 retail/commercial tire sales and automotive service locations, as well as 3 retread facilities. The commercial tire sales and service divisions cover nine states from their respective store locations with a fleet in excess of 300 vehicles.

According to John McCarthy, Sr., CEO, McCarthy Tire Service is ever growing with new services and technology to keep up with current standards. The importance of maintaining the personal touch is a prime concern for the family firm.
McCarthy Tire maintains its headquarters in Wilkes-Barre, PA. This location extends approximately 170,000 sq. ft. Over the past ten years the headquarters has undergone several expansions including the addition of state-of the art Bandag Eclipse system to its Bandag shop. The expansion enables the headquarters' retread shop to retread up to 660 tires per day. A second expansion of the Bandag shop and the addition of a new truck tire service center were added in July 1997.

Also located at the headquarters is a state-of the art truck service center and diagnostic center. This service center provides local trucking companies a full range of allied services. These services include computerized wheel alignments, brakes, suspension service, tune-ups, complete air conditioning service and radiator repair.

Other services offered at the headquarters and other locations are Giant truck tire repair service, 24 hour road service and foam filling. McCarthy Tire is proud to offer quality tire lines from Bridgestone, Firestone and General/Continental.

The company's most recent expansion has been the acquisition of Merchant's Tire Commercial Divisions in Landover, MD and Manassas, VA in April 2003. These facilities house a retail/commercial tire sales division, automotive service bays, foam filling and truck tire service centers.

The Manassas location will also serve as a third retread facility for McCarthy Tire.

Joseph J. McCarthy's early beginning was neither pretentious nor easy. He believed that hard work, coupled with an unselfish sense of community service and participation was the only answer to progress. The company, today, adheres to these same principles. Since 1968, his son John D. McCarthy Sr. has led the company to its successful position in the tire industry. In 1997, John D. McCarthy, Jr. was named president of McCarthy Tire Service Co., Inc. and his father remains with the company as Chief Executive Officer.

Many other third generation family members are also deeply involved in the management of the company. Both family members and employees have a strong commitment to service.
