Transforming Tire Sales with Innovative Technology
Tires offer a significant opportunity for dealerships to boost their revenue and profit margins, especially within fixed operations. The partnership between UpdatePromise and Dealer Tire aims to enhance this potential by providing real-time tire data, OEM incentives, and live inventory visibility directly in the service workflow. This collaboration is designed to help dealerships unlock new avenues for profitability, enhance transparency, and build customer trust.
UpdatePromise Partners with Dealer Tire
Recently, UpdatePromise, the front-runner in consumer experience and fixed operations technology, announced a strategic integration with Dealer Tire, a leader in OEM tire programs and data solutions. This partnership is revolutionizing the tire-selling experience within the service lane by creating a more seamless connection between service advisors and customers.
Enhancing Service Advisor Experience
For many years, service advisors have faced challenges with disjointed tools and limited access to critical information, which often led to missed sales opportunities. By incorporating Dealer Tire's VIN-specific catalog, real-time inventory, and live OEM incentives directly into the UpdatePromise platform, service advisors can now quickly identify, quote, and sell the appropriate tires without needing to switch between multiple systems.
As Curtis Nixon, CEO of UpdatePromise, explains, "We're giving advisors the confidence and clarity to turn every tire opportunity into one that builds trust and profitability. By integrating Dealer Tire's real-time data into our connected service ecosystem, we're helping dealers close the gap between customer need and advisor action. It's a major step forward for the future of fixed ops."
What Dealerships Can Expect from This Integration
The integration between UpdatePromise and Dealer Tire equips dealerships with the essential tools they need to enhance every customer interaction and achieve higher tire-approval rates. Here are some key benefits:
- VIN-Specific Recommendations: Advisors can rapidly identify OEM-aligned tire options for every vehicle during check-in or multi-point inspections.
- Real-Time Pricing & Availability: Access to live inventory and pricing that syncs with dealership management systems and the Dealer Tire network.
- OEM Tire Programs & Incentives: Automatic access to active manufacturer promotions, such as seasonal rebates.
- Seamless Advisor Workflow: Recommendations, pricing, and estimations can be generated directly within the UpdatePromise platform.
- Transparent Customer Experience: Tire options and prices are displayed through UpdatePromise's digital interface, increasing customer confidence and approval speed.
This streamlined workflow enables advisors to provide faster, more precise recommendations while capitalizing on revenue opportunities previously overlooked. Most importantly, it strengthens customer trust during each interaction.

UpdatePromise and Dealer Tire are paving the way for a more integrated, data-driven service experience in the automotive industry. The new partnership will support dealerships wishing to remain competitive in an ever-evolving fixed-ops landscape.
Chris Fuss, Dealer Tire's Chief Technology Officer, emphasizes, "Dealers expect their technology partners to deliver innovations that drive measurable impact.
