<\/div>\n

EAS Tire & Auto, a Straightaway Tire & Auto brand based in Colorado, has acquired Total Automotive in Fort Collins, as announced in a press release.<\/p>\n

Total Automotive has operated for over 30 years, with Ross Houk, the shop owner, running the business for over a decade.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs an owner, passing on the legacy is undoubtedly the hardest decision to make,\u201d said Houk. \u201cEAS Tire & Auto stood out in their genuine, people-first approach. They took the time to listen, share values, and educate us. This is more than a business to them; they care about the people. I knew by choosing them they would continue to care about our employees and the community.\u201d <\/p>\n

The acquisition marks EAS Tire & Auto\u2019s 23rd shop in the state of Colorado. It will continue to operate with the same team.<\/p>\n

\u201cTotal Automotive represents the kind of locally trusted partner we\u2019re proud to welcome into the EAS family,\u201d said Bill VanHoose, brand president of EAS Tire & Auto. \u201cTheir team has built something great within their community over the last three decades. We\u2019re excited to support that foundation and help the shop continue to grow without losing what made it special in the first place.\u201d <\/p>\n
