EAS Tire & Auto Grows to 23 Colorado Stores With Acquisition of Total Automotive

EAS Tire & Auto, a Straightaway Tire & Auto brand based in Colorado, has acquired Total Automotive in Fort Collins, as announced in a press release.

Total Automotive has operated for over 30 years, with Ross Houk, the shop owner, running the business for over a decade.

“As an owner, passing on the legacy is undoubtedly the hardest decision to make,” said Houk. “EAS Tire & Auto stood out in their genuine, people-first approach. They took the time to listen, share values, and educate us. This is more than a business to them; they care about the people. I knew by choosing them they would continue to care about our employees and the community.” 

The acquisition marks EAS Tire & Auto’s 23rd shop in the state of Colorado. It will continue to operate with the same team.

“Total Automotive represents the kind of locally trusted partner we’re proud to welcome into the EAS family,” said Bill VanHoose, brand president of EAS Tire & Auto. “Their team has built something great within their community over the last three decades. We’re excited to support that foundation and help the shop continue to grow without losing what made it special in the first place.”
