You don’t grow as fast as we have unless you are doing something right.We currently represent more than 300 independent tire and auto service locations in 23 states across the
country. Most of our members are also shareholders of ITDG, which entitles them to receive the
“substantial” dividend payments we have issued through the years. In fact, 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.”
Strength is in numbers, and the number of ITDGmemberships has doubled in the last six years.

Teamwork is the key to our success.ITDG is governed by a board of directors comprised of owner members that are elected by ITDG
stockholder members. Day to day operations are managed by president & CEO Mike Cox, vice
president of sales & marketing Ed Long and our Western regional manager Chris
Barry. We’re “lean” and have decades of industry experience that have led to
very low operational expense but very large profits for our
members and owners - independent tire dealer just like
you.
ITDG members have super buying power with some of the biggest
names in thebusiness.
Collective buying power is a
tremendous advantage with an
ITDG membership. We are able to
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. But 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.
The ITDG team brings some of the biggest namesin the business to your doorstep.
