ST. LOUIS, MO, UNITED STATES, January 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Dobbs Tire & Auto Centers, a trusted name in automotive service and tire care for nearly 50 years, is proud to announce its continued growth through the acquisition of Appleton, Wisconsin-based Matthews Tire.
Founded as a family-owned and operated business in 1952, Matthews Tire has 7 locations across northeast Wisconsin and provides comprehensive automotive maintenance and repair services. This expansion marks another exciting chapter for the company, on the heels of their announcement in October of a 34-store expansion in 6 states, including Wisconsin.
This transaction reflects Dobbs Tire & Auto Center’s strong growth trajectory and ongoing investment in local communities, now with over 135 retail locations across Missouri, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wisconsin.
“With the acquisition of the Matthews Tire brand, Dobbs Tire and Auto Centers will start our expansion in the Wisconsin market. We are excited to offer excellent service and products to our customers while investing in the training, equipment and associates to enhance the customer experience,” said Dustin Dobbs.
“We believe Dobbs is the perfect partner to continue Matthews Tire legacy of exceptional customer service and community commitment,” said Trevor Rezner, of Matthews Tire. “Continued investment in their people and operations ensures our customers will continue to receive the highest level of care.”
The Matthews Tire acquisition marks another milestone in Dobbs’ recent success and aggressive growth plans. In 2025, Dobbs opened 6 new Greenfield locations in Missouri and 16 Brownfield locations in Ohio, Missouri, Illinois and Wisconsin. They are set to open 18 more Brownfields in early 2026, taking Dobbs to over 135 locations.
