Investing in the Aftermarket Automotive Industry presents the opportunity for independent automotive dealers to extend automotive care and services beyond the manufacturer warranty. Today, there is a total of 279 million vehicles on the road in the U.S. averaging an age of 11.7 years. Buyers are simply keeping their vehicles longer after traditional manufacturer warranties expire. Aftermarket Sales, General Auto Repair, and Auto Part Store sales grew a total of 2.2% from 2016-2017. This explains why the Aftermarket Autocare Industry is projected to do nearly $433 Billion in annual sales by 2021.

We strongly believe in the Willis brand value in our community. Partnering with the Big O Tires franchise presents new opportunities to strengthen our aftermarket service presence, such as directing large fleet-vehicles to the Big O Tires stores.
Additionally, while selling over 200 pre-owned cars per month and taking in many cars on trade, we feel we can be one of our biggest customers by purchasing tires from our Big O Tires stores and ensuring our customers will remain Willis Automotive customers."
