Celebrating 70 Years in Business!

70 Years Rolling: The Sullivan Tire Journey of Dedication and Community

When Bob Sullivan first began in a driveway in Rockland, Massachusetts back in 1955, he could never have imagined the legacy he was about to create. What started as a small, family-driven tire shop has grown into a beloved New England institution, celebrating 70 remarkable years of service, innovation, and community commitment.

From Humble Beginnings to Lasting Success

Bob Sullivan wasn't just a businessman – he was a visionary who believed in hard work, quality service, and building genuine connections with customers. Starting with nothing more than determination and a passion for automotive service, he built Sullivan Tire from the ground up. His philosophy was simple: treat every customer like family, provide exceptional service, and never compromise on quality.

What began as a single tire shop on a dead end street, has now turned into well over 100 locations across New England. Including 83 complete automotive repair facilities, 21 Commercial Truck Service facilities and several wholesale distribution centers. A testament to Bob's original vision and the dedicated team that has carried his legacy forward. We've grown, but we've never forgotten our roots.
