Modern Tyres and Continental Tires announced earlier this week, the signing of an agreement for the acquisition of BestDrive Ireland, a leading Irish tyre specialist and vehicle maintenance company, by Modern Tyres.
Modern Tyres, a family-owned business with more than 60 years of experience, operates an extensive network in the Republic of Ireland. The acquisition of BestDrive Ireland significantly expands its reach across the country, offering customers a wider footprint and even more choice in products and services.
“We are delighted to welcome the BestDrive Ireland team into the Modern Tyres family,” shared the Modern Tyres Senior Management team. “Their reputation, professionalism and customer-first mindset align perfectly with our values. We look forward to building on their achievements and shaping a strong future together.”
BestDrive Ireland has been part of Continental Tires for over three decades. With over 200 employees across the company’s Dublin head office and sales, branches and apprenticeship teams, the company has built one of Ireland’s most respected aftermarket automotive networks with a reputation for quality, reliability and customer trust.
“This step marks a positive and strategic development for all parties involved, including our employees,” said Ian Feddersen, Managing Director of BestDrive Ireland.
“As market requirements evolve, this transition allows BestDrive Ireland to broaden its offering and continue to grow, realising its full local market potential. We’re confident that Modern Tyres will take our organisation into its next chapter with continuity, strong leadership and deep roots in Ireland.”
BestDrive Ireland will continue to operate as usual throughout the sale process, which is anticipated to be finalised by 1st September, 2025.
