A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…
Tire companies used phone books and flyers around town to bring customers into their local tire stores. They used radio announcements, pop-up ads on websites, direct mailers, and more!
Well guess what… if you’re interested in bringing your tire company to the next level; you have to become a social machine! Now we’re not talking about the kind of machines you use in your shops to change tires, we’re talking about the machine you envision your company being.
Think of the Internet as just one BIG social network. There are literally millions of websites out there that allow all the millions of people online, to share their experiences, their stories, their thoughts, images, compla ...[more]

TCS had a fantastic year at the SEMA show in 2010 and would like to thank all the visitors who stopped by our booth. Our products presentation was a popular feature, so we decided to post the
presentation that ran on the monitors in our booth on YouTube:
Why do we need accountability in life?
What does that look like? It could mean taking responsibility, giving an answer, or an explanation. It is a great way to motivate us. Just knowing I will have to give an answer for my actions, health, work, etc. keeps me on a positive path in life. TCS has a wellness program that keeps us accountable. One TCS employee said, “Just knowing I have to write it down, keeps me motivated to exercise when I don’t feel like it”. Our health and wellness is something we can impact to a large degree by making good decisions about how we live and what we eat. It is important to eat right, get plenty of sleep, exercise and get the vaccines available to prevent diseases. Many Americans are living unhealthy lifestyles and are not aware of wellness or prevention, which will only result in worse health conditions and higher healthcare costs in the future. The quality of life and how you feel is in direct proportion to the choices we make in our ...[more]
