History

Established in 1995.

I began as managing partner of the first American Car Care Center in Austin in December, 1989, on Burnet Rd just north of Koenig Ln. In August. 1995, I purchased the assets & continued the business in my name there. In October, 2000, I purchased the property where we are currently located on Cameron Rd, near US Hwy 290.

After nearly 23 years in the ACCC program I dropped the franchise agreement and our new operating name became Mark’s Austin Autocare in October 2012.

Since March 2015, we no longer do mechanical service & repair.

Meet the Business Owner

Mark S.

Business Owner

First exposure to the tire business came in helping my dad at his service station in Harper Texas in the mid 1960’s. Dad started me out patching bicycle tubes, then tractor & farm impliment tires & tubes. It didn’t take long, & I was patching car & truck tubes. Tubeless tires hadn’t caught on in rural Texas yet.

In 1975, I began my career with Goodyear in retail management and became a store manager within three years. In 1989, I met Perry Rose, and was offered the opportunity to manage a store as a part-​owner with the new American Car Care Centers stores. In 1995, I acquired the the assets of the business and maintained it since.
