Our Origins
LEADER IN THE CANADIAN TIRE AND AUTO SERVICE INDUSTRIES SINCE 2015
With close to 1000 points of service under 4 retail banners from coast to coast, Point S Canada has become the largest network of independent tire and auto service retailers in Canada since it was first launched in 2015.
Where it all started
The Point S brand was created in 1971 in France by a handful of independent entrepreneurs looking to promote their trade and expertise within their respective markets. From the beginning, Point S strived to implement a consumer-focused approach to the local auto service and maintenance industry.
The Point S Trademark is created in France as a tire dealer association by independent business entrepreneurs. They share the same objective: to promote their status as tire specialists and professionals in the eyes of the consumer.
Point S begins its international development in Germany and Italy.
Point S is launched in Luxembourg, Austria, and Belgium
Point S accelerates its expansion throughout Europe: Denmark, Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Russia, Switzerland, Portugal, Belgium, Romania, and Finland.
Point S continues its international development in Europe, but also in North Americas and throughout the African continent: the UK, Hungary, Norway, the USA, Canada, Estonia, Slovenia, South Africa, Sweden, Romania, Slovakia, Morocco, Djibouti, India, Cameroon.
Point S enters Asia: Malaysia, China, Singapore, Hong Kong
Point S enters the Latin American market with partnership in Brazil and now operates across 5 continents.
Moving on up in Canada
In 2015, Point S made its Canadian debut, prompting five years later the official launch of the Point S Canada network with the objective to represent all retail stores under its 3 banners, including Otobox and V1, both launched in 2017.
