Proudly Local: The Trail Tire Story

As Canada Day approaches, we always love to think back to our origin story. As a locally-owned Canadian company, our Canadian roots are important to us. We first opened our doors on Fort Road in Edmonton back in 1972. Since then, we’ve grown to 73 locations across Western Canada. Over the years, our success has come from staying true to our roots. We’re still proudly locally owned and operated. We continue to provide expert automotive service, and most importantly, we give back to the neighbourhoods that support us. Trail Tire has been more than just a place to buy tires because we are an active part of the communities we serve.

Our Journey: From One Shop to 73 Locations

Trail Tire started small, but with a big vision — to provide honest, reliable tire and auto service to everyday Canadians. By 2014, we had grown to nine locations in Edmonton and the surrounding area, and we didn’t stop there. We continued to expand rapidly across Alberta and British Columbia. Then we added locations in Saskatchewan and opened one in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Today, we have 73 locations throughout Western Canada — and every single one is locally owned and operated. That means when you visit a Trail Tire, you’re not just supporting a Canadian company, you’re supporting your neighbours, your community, and local families.

Commercial and Heavy-Duty Expertise

Trail Tire also operates dedicated commercial locations that specialize in medium and heavy-duty truck tire service. For fleet operators and professional drivers, we provide efficient, reliable service to keep you on the road.

We’ve also invested in heavy-duty mechanical locations in Vernon, Edmonton, High Prairie, and Sherwood Park that provide everything from engine diagnostics to suspension and brake work for commercial and industrial vehicles.

Giving Back to Our Communities

Being locally owned means more than just doing business in a town — it means being part of it. That’s why many of our Trail Tire locations proudly support local charities, youth sports teams, schools, and community events.

Whether it’s sponsoring a minor hockey team, contributing to food banks, or raising funds for health care and mental health initiatives, our locations are deeply involved in the causes that matter most to their communities.

When you choose Trail Tire, you’re not only getting quality automotive service — you’re investing in a business that gives back.
