Open the meeting

Three things to nail in the first 10 minutes.

  1. 1

    Independent tire stores trade at 2.1x–3.1x SDE — commercial/fleet accounts are the primary premium driver.

  2. 2

    Ancillary services (alignments, oil changes, brakes) increase the average repair order and support higher multiples.

  3. 3

    EBITDA multiples of 2.68x–4.89x apply as the shop grows and commercial revenue becomes the base.
