Walmart's new service lets customers order 40,000 types of tires online for installation at 2,300 Auto Care Centers nationwide. This move expands Walmart's reach and convenience, offering a seamless, hassle-free auto care solution.
Today, Walmart announced a game-changing service for auto sellers and customers alike. Shoppers can now purchase tires from Walmart Auto Sellers and opt for installation at any of the 2,300 Walmart Auto Care Centers nationwide. This initiative significantly broadens the range of installation-eligible tires both in-store and online, introducing over 12,000 new items, including specialty tires.
Walmart's strategic advantage lies in its accessibility. With 90% of the U.S. population residing within 10 miles of a Walmart store, the integration of physical and online shopping offers unmatched convenience. This new service not only simplifies the buying process but also empowers sellers to expand their market presence significantly.
Unlike competitors who partner with third-party services, Walmart leverages its trusted Auto Care Centers to offer tire fittings. This direct service approach has earned Walmart top ratings from CARFAX for three consecutive years, reassuring customers of the quality and reliability of their services. Walmart’s Auto Care Centers performed millions of tire installations and rotations last year alone, highlighting their expertise and customer trust.
Ordering tires can be cumbersome with limited in-store options and the hassle of home delivery and installation. Walmart’s new omni-channel approach addresses these challenges by ensuring that customers have access to a broad inventory with the convenience of local installation—transforming tire buying into a seamless experience.
