Tire Servicing
The replacement tire market is valued at over $55 billion — and the shops buying the equipment, tools, and products that keep it rolling are at AAPEX.
Independent tire dealerships now hold 67% of domestic passenger tire retail market share, up from 60.5% in 2015. And with tire dealer outlet counts growing from ~24,800 to over 41,000 in under a decade, this industry segment isn’t just surviving — it’s gaining traction. Shops are busy and buyers are actively investing in the solutions that keep them competitive. Make sure they find yours.
Built-In Booth Traffic
The Tire Servicing section sits near one of the most visited spots on the show floor — Joe’s Garage, a fully operational service bay environment complete with working lifts, real vehicles, and live demos. It’s a major draw at AAPEX, which means you’ll have steady foot traffic flowing directly past your booth. Want to show potential buyers what your products can really do? Opportunities to host a demo are available to select exhibitors.
