Centrica plc, which owns the Automobile Association, announced today that it has acquired the business operations and some fixed assets of Tyreserve, for a total consideration of £400,000 in cash.
Tyreserve provides replacement tyres and processes transactions for car and truck fleet operators via access to a national network of 2,980 outlets. This consists of 630 independent fast-fit centres, 1,850 franchised dealers and 500 mobile units.
