Hybrid sales are on Fire…stone.

Good news on the horizon for hybrid car owners; “BFS Retail & Commercial Operations, LLC (BFRC), which owns and operates the largest number of company-owned automotive retail generalist stores in the world, has begun servicing hybrid vehicles at select Firestone Complete Auto Care, Tires Plus, ExpertTire and Wheel Works locations.” Nearly 40 percent of BFS-owned service centers are hybrid-compliant right now, and BFS’ continued efforts will ease concerns that hybrid owners are in deep trouble when their cars break down. Considering that hybrid sales have risen in the Gulf Coast region, and more car buyers in general are considering hybrids, this development is rather timely. Let’s just keep our fingers crossed that hybrids don’t have any specific tire needs.
