Victory Tire & Auto Expands in Minnesota With Acquisition of AutoPro Auto Service

June 23, 2025
Victory Tire & Auto expands its presence in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota with the acquisition of AutoPro Auto Service, marking its 18th location in the region.

Victory Tire & Auto has acquired its second store in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, according to a press release.

With the acquisition of AutoPro Auto Service finalized as of June 11, it marks not just the brand’s second Brooklyn Park location, but its 18th in the region as well.

The shop is a turnkey operation with state-of-the-art equipment. Victory Tire & Auto will be providing the team with additional resources as it seeks to preserve local expertise while expanding capabilities through its broader network.

“Working with Straightaway and Victory Tire and Auto couldn’t have gone any better—and I’m a tough critic,” said John Klarkowski, former owner of AutoPro Auto Service. “My team was my biggest concern, and they took complete care of everyone by listening and communicating with them. Every teammate left those meetings smiling. That says a lot.”
