Wonderland Tire’s Jon Langerak is Modern Tire Dealer’s 2023 Dealer of the Year
A long-standing ASA customer
Congratulations to Wonderland Tire for being named the 2023 Dealer of the Year by Modern Tire Dealer (MTD). Well done! We are proud to be a part of Wonderland Tire’s success story and are excited to continue growing with them.
How Acutread Fueled Wonderland Tire’s Growth
“It was a million-dollar investment with Acutread and we were only a $4 million to $5 million-a-year company,” says Dave Langerak, Wonderland Tire's co-owner and Chief Operating Officer. “We were making money” before AcuTread. “But we also knew we were being pressed by the competition. We needed a product that would help us stand out.”
“AcuTread is the most pivotal, strategic thing Wonderland Tire has done as a company.” And it came with huge risks, according to Jon. “AcuTread was probably the first Wonderland project where if it failed, it would have sunk the ship,” he explains. “But AcuTread has been wonderful for us. It changed our company. We wouldn’t be the company we are today without it.”
