JUNE 9, 2015 – McCarthy Tire Service has acquired Hartman Fleet Services, Inc., in Manassas, Virginia. Hartman Fleet Services has provided heavy mechanical services, fleet maintenance and repair, and mobile mechanical services to customers in Northern Virginia, Maryland, and Washington DC since 1955.
McCarthy Tire has relocated Hartman Fleet Services — including Mike Hartman, the company’s president and owner, and the firm’s eight employees — to its existing location in Manassas under the direction of long-time store manager, Stan Strickland.
The acquisition included several trucks, including two mobile heavy vehicle service units, which will allow McCarthy Tire to offer on-site mechanical services for the first time from that location. McCarthy Tire offers similar services at some of its other locations.
“Hartman Fleet Services has a well-earned reputation of excellent customer service,” said John D. McCarthy, Jr., president of McCarthy Tire Service. “We are very excited to add this expanded mechanical service to our existing team. This acquisition fits in perfectly with our strategic plan. It reflects our emphasis on providing a comprehensive plan to address all the vehicle needs of our commercial customers.”
The service center at 9073 Euclid Avenue in Manassas has a commercial tire shop, a mechanical shop for heavy trucks, including mobile mechanical services, and a complete automotive center for passenger cars and light trucks. The store is part of McCarthy Tire’s 24-hour commercial roadside assistance program for fleets and independent operators.
McCarthy Tire has 45 locations in six states along the East Coast, with nearly 1,000 employees and a fleet of more than 550 service vehicles. The company purchased Commercial Truck Tire Center in Syracuse, New York, in May 2015, and acquired Terry-Haggerty Tire in Albany, New York, in August 2014.
