Delaware Tire Center was founded in 1968 by the late James W. Baxter. As a hardworking, honest, dedicated business and family man, he created a successful and expanding business which has thrived over the years due to his commitment to his customers and his high standards of integrity. These characteristics have now been passed on to his sons, James Baxter, Jr., and Mathew Baxter, who have taken over the operations since their father's death in 2003.

As owners of a family business, Jay and Matt pride themselves on following in their Dad's traditions with a company wide commitment to outstanding service, upfront pricing, and guaranteed satisfaction. "We stand behind all our products and services and we provide you with our longstanding policy of giving upfront, complete prices before you buy. That is one of our main ingredients to success," Jay Baxter states. When you walk into any one of stores, you will be greeted by an honest, friendly, and knowledgeable sales staff. The professionals at Delaware Tire Centers will offer you a full line of tires and services and are available to answer any of your automotive questions. In addition, the sales staff is trained as Certified Alliance Professionals. They have been provided with in-depth training of the design and performance of Michelin, BFGoodrich, and Uniroyal brands. For our customers, that means they can help you with your specific, individual needs. Our highly trained technicians and mechanics are committed to providing your car with reliable, quality care. Each location has ASE certified technicians on site as well. When your automotive and tire needs are in their hands, you can feel confident that you are getting the best service around.

Delaware Tire has recently renovated all 3 locations. At our Dover location, we have made several building and showroom improvements while maintaining the historical integrity of Downtown Dover. Final touches are being made now, and the results have been impressive. Last year, Newark renovated the showroom and waiting area with computer stations, a comfortable TV viewing area for adults as well as kids. Finally, in Salisbury, MD, we recently expanded from 4 bays to 7 bays to increase efficiency and decrease your wait time. Our Salisbury store also renovated their showroom and even created a fun place for kids to play!

Remember, as part of our upfront pricing policy, all tire purchases include free mounting, valve stems, balancing, and free tire rotation every 5,000 miles.
