Both NTB Tire & Service Centers and Tire Kingdom Service Centers, chains of automotive and tire service centers and members of the TBC Corporation family of brands, are honoring active duty, reserve, veterans and first responders with special discounts and service options. Military families can purchase a conventional oil change for $18.99, get free service on flat repair and 10 percent off tires and 20 percent off services. These discounted services are available to veterans, active military and first responders not just on select holidays, but every day.
The second program pertains to the company’s Midas and Big O Tires franchises. Through its U.S. Veterans program, TBC Corporation is waiving the $35,000 franchise fee to all eligible veterans and individuals currently serving in the U.S. Armed Forces.
First responders who were employed for a minimum of five years as a law enforcement officer, emergency medical technician or fire fighter, and who apply for a franchise within one year of ending their service are eligible for waiver of the initial franchise fee on their first location.
Both Big O Tires and Midas Tires were recently recognized in the2020 Top Franchises for Veterans Ranking byEntrepreneur. Big O Tires was recognized as #33 and Midas as #46.“At all TBC operating entities, we strive to implement programs that provide us the opportunity to give back to the community and make a lasting impact,” said Erik R. Olsen, President & CEO of TBC Corporation. “Through our programs aimed at giving back to veterans, active military and first responders who give so much to us and our country each and every day, we have the opportunity to say thank you.”
Discounts are extended to all active duty and reserve members, and their spouses, of the U.S. Air Force, Army, Navy, Marines, National Guard and Coast Guard year-round and include offers on products and services including, but not limited, to oil changes, tires, wheels and other services. To activate the discount, visit your local Tire Kingdom or NTB Tire & Service Centers and present valid U.S. military identification at the time of purchase.
