Kim Coleman went to work for Ray Monteith at Monteith Tire in Warsaw, IN, in 1968. Kim learned to serve the community from Ray’s leadership. Kim took those traits and opened Monteith Tire of Goshen on Greene Rd. in 1983 by purchasing the assets of Chrispyn Oil and Tire.
Kim’s vision of becoming Elkhart County’s finest tire and auto service center, along with his philosophy of building relationships with people by serving their tire and auto needs, has expanded Monteith Tire.
The first expansion under Kim’s management was in 1986 with the opening of Michiana Tire of Goshen. More locations were added in 1988, then Wakarusa in 1998, Goshen South in 1999 and Middlebury in 2008. Six locations in Elkhart County have more than 60 service bays.
Monteith's Best-One Tire & Auto Care is also a founding member of the Best One Tire and Service group with more than 250 locations throughout the Midwest. All of our services are backed by the Best One National pledge 12-month, 12,000-mile nationwide warranty. Plus, any NAPA parts are covered by the NAPA Auto Care Peace of Mind 12-month, 12,000-mile nationwide warranty. Monteith's Best-One Tire & Auto Care has your car service needs covered.
Monteith's 2022 Best Places to Work finalist
Monteith's Best-One Tire & Auto Care has been named one of five finalists in the 2021-2022 Tire Business Best Places to Work survey, and the man leading the company is possibly the best example as to why. Tim Wolfe started working for the company in high school. Today, he's the president and a managing partner of the ownership group.
Wolfe is happy to share his secret to maintaining a successful and passionate team: "It's almost too simple," Wolfe said. "We treat people the way that they want to be treated. I have never felt like a number in the company," Wolfe continued. "I've always felt like it's my extended family."
This mentality has led to major growth over the years. Monteith's Best-One now has over 150 employees among its 13 locations across northern Indiana.

The company finds small ways to show extra appreciation — like employee appreciation nights or group activities such as a sporting event. "We put a huge emphasis on our people and try to make it as good of a place to work as we can," said Wolfe.
