Skid Marks Tire Pros has taken over the lease of the former Dutchtown Car Care at 38006 La. 621 in Prairieville, marking the fifth area location for the growing tire and auto care business.
“The former owner built it about three years ago and had decided to pursue different interests. He reached out to us about possibly taking it over, and we’re taking advantage of the opportunity,” says Miles Holley, who owns Skid Marks along with his wife, Melissa. “This is a great location as far as the amount of traffic up and down [La.] 621.”
The Prairieville location measures about 3,200 square feet and includes six service bays. Skid Marks took over the lease at the first of this month, and the location has been fully rebranded. Daniel Domangue is store manager. Holley says he likely will add a warehouse to the site in the future.
The Holleys rebranded three local Treads & Care Tire Co. locations as Skid Marks in early 2012 and that spring also added a fourth location with the purchase and rebranding of a Denham Springs service center.
Holley says the original Skid Marks off La. 30 in Gonzales is his busiest. It’s located only about seven miles away from the new Prairieville location, which means Skid Marks will be able to better serve the growing area.
Late last year, the Holleys purchased All Parish Storage in Prairieville from Sam Richardson for $1.15 million and rebranded it as Skid Marks Storage Pros.
