Fountain Tire is a privately held Canadian tire dealer and automotive service provider, founded in 1956 in Wainwright, Alberta. The company operates more than 170 store locations across Canada, supported by eight distribution centres in Central and Western Canada. Its work spans automotive service and maintenance, tire services and installation, fleet solutions, tire recycling and environmental management, and distribution and supply chain operations.
Services cover passenger vehicles, commercial trucks and trailers, heavy equipment, and farming vehicles. Work is organised around comprehensive tire sales and service for passenger vehicles, commercial truck and trailer tire services, heavy equipment and agricultural tire services, mechanical maintenance and repair, and fleet management and servicing solutions for commercial customers. This range of vehicle classes and service lines creates technical work across retail service bays, commercial and heavy-duty operations, and distribution.
The company is recognised as one of Canada's Best Managed Companies, a distinction it has held since 1994. It describes itself as proudly Canadian and privately held, and operates a 50/50 partnership model under which a significant portion of store managers hold ownership stakes in their locations. The model is paired with an emphasis on accountability and local decision-making, combining national brand strength with local ownership, alongside stated ESG commitments covering greenhouse gas reduction, proper tire recycling, and community support.
