Max Finkelstein Inc.
About
Max Finkelstein Inc. in Hyde Park is a wholesale distributor of tires, undercar parts and lubricants that now operates as part of U.S. AutoForce. Its customers are businesses rather than individual drivers: independent tire retailers, auto repair shops and automotive dealerships. The company stocks the major tire and parts brands, including passenger, light truck, commercial and industrial tires, and aims to get products to shops on time and at competitive prices.
U.S. AutoForce has more than 70 years of history and traces its roots to U.S. Venture, founded by brothers Art and Ray Schmidt in Kimberly, Wisconsin, as the Schmidt Brothers Oil Company. A well-priced purchase of a truckload of Cooper Tires led the brothers to build a warehouse and start a tire and parts division. Beyond supply, the distributor offers technical training, promotions and marketing programs that help dealers build volume and market share.
