Belle Tire was founded in 1921 by Sam Waze. He named the tire shop after his wife, Belle. The first location was in Detroit, Michigan. Originally selling tire inner tubes and tires, the company now also performs oil changes, brake repair, battery service, and glass replacement.
The company grows mainly through acquisition, including TireMan, and Sears, The company operates 133 locations in Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio.
The company settled a racial discrimination lawsuit for $55,000 in September 2019 after a former employee was fired 48 hours after reporting the manager of a Port Huron location.
In September 2020, Home Depot and Belle Tire in the state of Michigan were fined for not following proper COVID prevention measures, such as face masks.
Headquarters for Belle Tire are located in Allen Park, Michigan.
I was buying four new tires today 7-28-21 the tires were the best I could get from you and I made an appointment so that I would not have to wait very long. and that is what your salesman told me. But when I got there 15 minutes early so that I am on time and show that I believe your time is as important as mine. But my car sat in the parking lot for the next hour, and your mechanics act in a slow and interested manner. Still waiting the job took 1 hour to complete to install four tires and an alignment. I want to ask you how much is your time worth. Because lately no business cares about the customers. You have to do better so that your business does not fail like so many others. Two days ago I was in your store because of a problem with my tires and waited quite a while but I did not have an appointment. and felt I needed to wait my turn. But their was another customer that was very mad about the service he was getting, so waiting is now part of your corporate policy. This may be wrong, but when the sales people tell me that waiting 1 1/2 hours is ok but you make appointments every 1/2 hour. If I had known this I would have gone somewhere else.
I want to acknowledge the outstanding service I received from Michael Edds and Belle Tire in Grosse Pointe Farms, MI!
I had several notices “low tire pressure” show up in my Ford Escape. We had the tires checked and filled a couple times and during this time my husband was very ill and transferred from hospital to hospice and then back to the hospital again…long story, but it appears it will have a happy ending. Anyway, after the 3rd or 4th notice appeared and my time was spent with my husband, I couldn’t take worrying about the tire. I called Mike, he said if I could get in early, they would check the tire and hopefully be able to get my car back to me. I said he could put a new tire on, or whatever, and showed up early and he wrote up the order. I received a call later in the day, and they had patched the tire so I could come and get the car. I got to the Belle Tire store, went in and asked what I owed. He said I owed nothing and that was the nicest thing that has happened to me since my husband became so ill. Kudos for having Michael Edds as the Assistant Manager…personally speaking, he should be, at the very least, a Manager!
