Robertson Tire: Big Brand’s Oklahoma Chain, Its Warranty and Stores

Robertson Tire is an 18-store tire and auto repair chain in Oklahoma, centered on Tulsa, owned by Big Brand Tire & Service since a purchase Percheron Capital announced in November 2024. It keeps its own name and signs, but its website runs on Big Brand’s templates, prints Big Brand’s warranty word for word and lists a Moorpark, California headquarters. On 17 and 18 October 2026 we read its warranty, flat repair, services, credit, fleet, directory, Terms and five store pages, Percheron’s update on the purchase, the sale adviser’s release and an SEC search, and compared each Robertson page with Big Brand’s as read for our Big Brand Tire page. This page is about the Oklahoma chain at robertsontire.com. This site has no commercial relationship with Robertson Tire or any tire seller.

Who owns Robertson Tire

Big Brand Tire & Service does. Percheron Capital’s portfolio company update of 19 November 2024 says “Big Brand Tire & Service has acquired Robertson Tire and Tires To You,” marking “Big Brand’s entry into the Oklahoma and Texas markets with a combined 21 locations.” After the two purchases, Percheron wrote, Big Brand was “the 6th largest independent tire and service business in the country, operating approximately 230 high-quality service centers.”

The firm that advised the sellers tells the same story from the other side. SDR Ventures, which says it “served as the exclusive sell-side advisor to Robertson Tire and the Robertson family,” announced in an undated release that “Robertson Tire Co., Inc” “has been acquired by Big Brand Tire & Service, a portfolio company of Percheron Capital.” Its transaction page describes a business “Established in 1962,” “family-owned,” and “Operating out of fourteen locations across Oklahoma.” The company’s president, a member of the family, is quoted as saying they had grown the business “for over 60 years.” SDR’s terms ask that its site be read “manually,” so we read those pages once and do not link them. Neither document gives a price or a closing date.

Robertson’s own website says none of this. The home page offers only “Complete car care service since 1962”; the footer’s “History” link opens an About page with no history, and the careers page, unlike American Tire Depot’s, never mentions Big Brand. The owner shows only in the fine print:

• The Terms of Use say “This site is owned and operated by The Robertson Tire Corporation” and mention its “parent or subsidiary companies” without naming any.
• The privacy policy speaks for “Majco LLC DBA Robertson Tire,” and every footer reads “© Copyright 2026 Majco LLC.” Majco LLC is the company our Big Brand page found running Big Brand’s own stores.
• The contact e-mail addresses in the Terms and privacy policy are at Big Brand’s bigbrandtire.com domain.
• The contact page lists “Robertson Tire Corporate Headquarters” in Moorpark, California, the same address American Tire Depot gives for its headquarters.

Above Big Brand, our Big Brand page records Percheron’s 2 October 2025 “closing of a $1.625 billion recapitalization” and a Blue Owl 10-Q listing a loan to “MAJCO LLC (dba Big Brand Tire & Service).” An EDGAR search for “Robertson Tire” on 18 October 2026 returned 0 filings.

Trade-press reports on the sale exist, but the main trade site’s robots.txt shuts out AI crawlers, so we use none of them.

18 stores, all in Oklahoma, 6 of them in Tulsa

The directory lists 18 store addresses under one heading, Oklahoma, the same 18 our Big Brand page counted on 16 October 2026. The fleet page (“18 locations in Oklahoma”) and the renamed stores’ pages agree; only the home page says “18+ Locations nationwide.” Big Brand’s own directory, as our Big Brand page read it, covers 182 stores in 17 states and none in Oklahoma, so in this state Big Brand trades only as Robertson.

By our arithmetic, 6 of the 18 stores, 33.3 percent, carry a Tulsa address; the other 12 are spread over 10 towns. Within Big Brand’s group Robertson is a small name: 18 of the 326 stores our Big Brand page counted across the five chains with a Majco LLC copyright, or 5.5 percent. The site “does not ship products”; online orders are picked up and fitted at a store.

From 14 stores to 18. SDR put Robertson at “fourteen locations across Oklahoma” when it was sold; the directory now lists 18, 4 more by our arithmetic. In the directory’s page data, 14 entries share one internal origin code; the other four (Collinsville, West Shawnee in Muskogee, Checotah, Miami) carry different codes, and all four store pages say the shop used to have another name. That the 14 are SDR’s 14 is our reading; no document says when the four joined.

What happened to Tires To You. The other half of Percheron’s announcement did not become Robertson. In Big Brand’s directory as read on 16 October 2026, five Texas store descriptions (San Antonio, Killeen, two in Austin, Hutto) say “Formerly known as Tires To You” and that the store “is now proudly part of” Big Brand Tire & Service. Percheron’s “combined 21” is not split; if it counted SDR’s 14, Tires To You brought 7, by our arithmetic.

Four shops renamed Robertson, and their old warranties

Big Brand renames most chains it buys. Robertson has kept its own name and, on a small scale, renamed others. Each of the four renamed stores’ pages carries a “Formerly” notice and a short FAQ. Each says the shop “was acquired” or that its old name “was retired,” and all four say employees “are not fired or replaced” as part of the change. On warranties they differ:

Every FAQ starts “Yes,” as do those of all 67 renamed Big Brand stores and the five on our American Tire Depot page. Read past the first word and Miami’s is the weakest: it promises access to records, not that an old warranty will be honored. Only two of the four notices say warranties transfer, and none of the eight statements says whose terms apply. That matters, because the written warranty covers tires “purchased at a Robertson Tire facility” and says “Your purchase invoice must be presented.” A Karnes Pro Tire receipt shows neither, so ask which terms they will honor and get it written on your paperwork.

We opened five of the 18 store pages: these four and one from the other 14, East Admiral in Tulsa, which has no notice. Other renamed stores may exist among the pages we did not open.

The written warranty, word for word Big Brand’s

“Robertson Tire offers a limited 6 month or 6,000 mile warranty on all repairs.” We compared the page sentence by sentence with Big Brand’s warranty page as read on 16 October 2026. With either company’s name swapped for a placeholder, all 25 sentences match, down to the typo “tread warn off.” Robertson’s page was also unchanged from its own 16 October reading. American Tire Depot prints the same text. The terms:

• Repairs. The “Parts & Labor warranty period” is “6 months or 6,000 miles (whichever occurs first).” By our arithmetic, a car driven 1,000 miles a month reaches both limits together; drive more and the mileage ends cover first.
• Tires. A tire that becomes “unsafe or unserviceable due to defects in workmanship or materials” is “replaced on a pro-rata basis charging for only the portion of tread warn off, down to the last 1/16 of an inch of tread.” Out-of-round claims count only “during the first 10% of the tire’s life.” “Road hazards are not covered by this warranty.”
• Wheels and trailer tires. Custom wheels are warranted “for the first year”; trailer tires that fail “within 2 years from date of purchase” are replaced pro rata.
• Twelve exclusions, among them “Premature tread wear out,” “Repairable punctures,” “Vehicle Misalignment,” under-inflation, accidents and vandalism.
• Claims. “ALL TIRES MUST BE RETURNED TO A ROBERTSON TIRE FACILITY AND ACCOMPANIED BY THE ORIGINAL RECEIPT” for any adjustment. A tire not in stock is ordered and “will be available usually within 10 days.” Cover “is provided to original consumer purchaser only.”
• Spoken promises. It excludes any “representation, or warranty made by dealers or third parties,” so get extras written on the invoice.

Pro rata means you pay for the tread used: a defect found halfway to the 1/16-inch floor leaves you paying roughly half a replacement, and the page does not say at what price, so ask. Early wear goes to the tire maker, whose mileage warranty, the alignment page warns, does not cover “uneven tire wear” from misalignment. Robertson’s maker-warranty directory links 90 brands, 6 fewer than Big Brand’s 96; our guide to how tire makers prorate explains them. Despite the heading “Manufacturer’s Standard Tire Warranty,” this is the store’s promise: Robertson prints it, limits it to its own sales and handles the claims.

The “in lieu of” line. The page says “These warranties are in lieu of all other warranties expressed or implied.” Under 15 U.S.C. 2308, “No supplier may disclaim or modify” an implied warranty if it “makes any written warranty,” and such a disclaimer “shall be ineffective.” The page itself concedes “Some states do not allow limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts.” A repair that fails soon after 6 months may be outside the written warranty but not outside the law.

In all we set 18 Robertson pages against their Big Brand twins. Eleven match apart from the name, among them the warranty, Terms, privacy policy, flat repair, rotation and military discount, though four of those leave a blank (or, in the Terms, “undefined”) where Big Brand prints a phone number. Seven differ: the maker directory, About, fleet, careers, home, credit and oil change pages. The home page’s three customer reviews are the same three on Big Brand’s and American Tire Depot’s home pages, so they say nothing about any Robertson store.

Can you claim at a Big Brand or American Tire Depot store?

Not on the strength of anything printed. Robertson’s warranty sends tires back to “A ROBERTSON TIRE FACILITY”; Big Brand’s, American Tire Depot’s, Burt Brothers’ and Tucker Tire’s each name their own. None of the five warranty pages says one brand’s receipt is good at another’s counter. Even the fleet page promises only that “Every one of our 18 locations offers fleet services.”

For a Robertson customer the practical point is distance. Big Brand’s directory lists no Oklahoma store; of its 17 states, the three that border Oklahoma are Texas (23 stores), Colorado (8) and Arkansas (3). If a tire fails on a trip, a sister store may choose to help, but nothing printed obliges it to. Claim where you bought. If another brand does help, ask it to write on the paperwork that it is honoring a Robertson Tire warranty, and keep that copy.

No road hazard plan, and certificates nobody defines

Robertson’s warranty excludes nails, potholes and debris. The page is titled “Tire Warranty & Protection Information” and its search description promises “details on coverage and road hazards,” yet its only road hazard line is “Road hazards are not covered by this warranty.” No page we read sells or describes a road hazard plan, and we did not open a cart to look.

One phrase hints at something. The tire promotion on the home and deals pages requires “purchase of tire maintenance certificates,” the same wording our Big Brand and American Tire Depot pages found. No page says what a certificate covers, what it costs or how long it lasts. Under 16 CFR 702.3, for products costing “more than $15.00,” a seller with a written warranty must make its text “readily available for examination by the prospective buyer,” so ask to read it before you pay.

What the chain does print is free flat repair for a tire that can be safely fixed. For how road hazard cover works where a chain sells it, see Discount Tire’s Certificates and Les Schwab’s road hazard warranty; those are other companies’ terms and do not apply here.

Free flat repair, rotation and checks, and the rules

“Flat Tire Repairs are always free. Even if you did not purchase the tires from us.” Staff “remove the tire from the rim and inspect it inside and out,” and it must pass six “Tire Repair Requirements,” as printed:

• “The puncture must be in the tread area of the tire”
• “The puncture must be less that 1/4 inch in diameter”
• “There must be at least 2/32″ of tread surface remaining”
• “The tire must not be severely weather checked”
• “The overall condition of the tire must be good”
• “The tire must not be older than 6 years old”

The page admits “Many customers are surprised by our decision not to repair old tires.” It says a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration advisory cited makers’ advice that “tires should be replaced within six to ten years, regardless of tread depth,” and that NHTSA’s “Research Report to Congress on Tire Aging” found “77% of tire claims made to insurance companies between 2002 and 2006 were due to the effects of hot climates on tire construction and 84% of tire claims were made for tires that were more than six years old.” Those figures are Robertson’s account of the report, which we did not read. Check the date code on your sidewall first. By our arithmetic, the 2/32-inch floor equals 1/16 inch, where the pro-rata warranty also stops. Run-flats follow the maker’s advice (see run-flat repair); the page says to call, then leaves the number blank. The home page claims “46K+ Flats fixed free.”

Rotation and checks. “We rotate your tires at no cost,” with no condition that you bought them there, and the page recommends rotation “every 6,000 to 8,000 miles” (see our rotation intervals). The Car Services page heads 15 services “FREE”: flat repair, rotation, and checks of pressure, TPMS, alignment, brakes, battery, heating and cooling, engine, fluids, belts and hoses, shocks and struts, alternator and starter, and lights, plus a full inspection. Wheel balancing, tire changeover and the tire consultation carry no such heading. A check is a measurement, not a repair: the alignment FAQ says “we measure your alignment first and walk you through the results so you can decide how to proceed.” No price is printed, so get any quote in writing and compare it with our pages on when an alignment is due and brake pads. Every oil change includes a free rotation, “Basic Underhood Inspection,” brake inspection and pressure check. A smog check page in the sitemap showed no content.

Service contracts. Robertson says it is authorized to inspect and repair cars covered through SilverRock, for buyers from “Carvana®, DriveTime®, or another dealer,” and the Shield Repair Network, for “CarShield® or American Auto Shield®” contracts. What gets paid depends on your contract; see our Carvana warranty, DriveTime and CarShield pages.

The Synchrony Car Care card, the military discount and price promises

The card is Synchrony’s, not Robertson’s. The credit page says to “Use the Synchrony Car Care Credit Card at Robertson Tire for 6 and 12 Months Promotional Financing on qualifying purchases.” Unlike American Tire Depot’s own-brand card page, which names no issuer, Robertson’s names the card and says where it works: “Use your card at Robertson Tire, at auto merchant locations nationwide, and at gas stations nationwide,” and it is “Valid everywhere Synchrony Car Care™ is accepted in the U.S., including Puerto Rico.” For a chain with no sister store in the state, that matters: the card can pay a shop in Texas, even though nothing printed lets you claim the warranty there. The page’s search description still offers “a Robertson Tire credit card.”

The financing is deferred interest: “On purchases of $199+ (6 months) or $1199.99+ (12 months),” and if you do not pay in full in time, “interest will be charged on the promo balance from the purchase date.” The amount “must be on one receipt,” and gas station purchases do not qualify. The dated account terms: “New Accounts as of 7/31/25: Purchase APR 34.99%. Penalty APR 39.99%. Min Interest Charge $2.” There is no annual fee. By our arithmetic, $199 needs $33.17 a month to clear in 6 months, and $1,199.99 needs $100.00 a month to clear in 12. These match the standing terms on our Big Brand and American Tire Depot pages; the card agreement, which we did not read, governs the account. A limited-time statement credit is left out.

The military discount. “Active-duty service members, military retirees, and veterans receive 5% off purchases in store,” with “a valid military or veteran ID each time you visit.” It “does not extend to spouses or family members,” is “applied in store only” and cannot be combined with other offers. The home page offers it to “active duty, veterans, and reserves,” so reservists who are neither veterans nor retirees should ask.

Price promises. There is no price-match policy. The contact page invites questions about “warranties or price match,” and the About page says “Value is our objective, we will not be undersold” and “Shop our competition and see for yourself,” with no rules on competitors, time limits or refunds. It also says company policy “forbids high pressure selling of unneeded merchandise or services.” Bring a written quote, but there are no price terms to hold the store to. Promotions on the deals page are not recorded here.

Terms of Use, California law and public records

The Terms of Use are Big Brand’s, sentence for sentence, and unchanged since 16 October 2026. They are undated and can change at any time. For an Oklahoma chain, the notable line is the choice of law: the Terms are “governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California,” and “the California courts will have non-exclusive jurisdiction,” so a court elsewhere, including in Oklahoma, may still hear a case. The warranty itself says your rights “vary from state to state.” We found no arbitration clause or class-action waiver in the Terms, warranty, privacy policy or credit page; the card agreement, unread, may differ. Liability for the website is capped at “THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU, IF ANY, FOR ACCESSING THIS SITE”; work on your car falls under the warranty and the law, not that cap. The Terms bar links to the site “without Robertson Tire’s written permission,” so we name its documents rather than link them.

The privacy policy says the company “will not trade, sell, or share” personal information without consent, except with “its franchisee dealers, or third-party business partners”; no other page mentions franchised stores. Text messages come “from Majco LLC.” The fleet page’s phone number is the same California number printed on Big Brand’s and American Tire Depot’s fleet pages.

Public records. The SEC search found no filing naming Robertson Tire, and a web search on 18 October 2026 found no Federal Trade Commission or Oklahoma attorney-general release about it. Oklahoma business and court records sit behind search forms, which we did not use, and CourtListener’s robots.txt closes its dockets to AI agents.

Where Robertson’s own pages disagree

We recorded 15 places where the chain’s documents contradict each other or the sale records, or leave a promise unfinished. The ones that matter most:

• Who owns it. “The Robertson Tire Corporation,” an unnamed “parent,” Majco LLC, contact e-mail at Big Brand’s domain and a California headquarters, and Big Brand named on no page.
• Store counts. “18+ Locations nationwide” for a chain in one state.
• Road hazards. A “Protection Information” page that promises “details on coverage and road hazards” and only excludes them, and certificates no page defines.
• Renamed stores. FAQs that all start “Yes,” one of which promises only records, and a warranty limited to tires “purchased at a Robertson Tire facility.”
• Missing phone numbers. “by telephone at undefined” in the Terms, and blanks where the privacy, shipping and flat repair pages should give a number.
• The card’s name. “a Robertson Tire credit card” in the page description; the Synchrony Car Care Credit Card on the page.
• The discount. “reserves” on the home page against “military retirees” on the discount page.

Before you buy tires or a repair at Robertson Tire

Register your tires so the maker can reach you about a recall. Under 49 CFR 574.8, a dealer must either give you “a paper tire registration form” with “The entire tire identification number” filled in, or send it to the maker “at no charge to the tire purchaser and within 30 days.” No Robertson page says which it does, so ask. NHTSA says makers notify registered owners “within 60 days of notifying NHTSA of a recall decision”; its recall lookup covers tires, and our page on tire recalls explains more.

Compare written terms rather than slogans: “will not be undersold” is not a term you can enforce, while the repair cover and the receipt rule are. If your shop was renamed, the pages promise only “available” records, so your own old invoice is the better evidence.

Common questions

Who owns Robertson Tire?

Big Brand Tire & Service, which is backed by Percheron Capital. Percheron announced on 19 November 2024 that Big Brand “has acquired Robertson Tire and Tires To You,” and the sellers’ adviser, SDR Ventures, says Robertson Tire Co., Inc was acquired by Big Brand. Its privacy policy names “Majco LLC DBA Robertson Tire,” the company behind Big Brand’s stores.

Is Robertson Tire the same as Big Brand Tire?

Same owner, separate name and stores. Robertson’s warranty, Terms and flat repair rules are Big Brand’s word for word, but each brand sends claims to its own stores, and Big Brand has none in Oklahoma.

How many Robertson Tire locations are there?

Eighteen, all in Oklahoma: 6 in Tulsa, 2 each in Broken Arrow and Muskogee, and one each in Bixby, Checotah, Claremore, Collinsville, Coweta, Glenpool, Miami and Owasso. It had 14 when it was sold, by its adviser’s account.

What is Robertson Tire’s warranty?

Repairs carry a limited parts and labor warranty of 6 months or 6,000 miles, whichever occurs first. Tires bought there get a pro-rata warranty against defects down to the last 1/16 inch of tread; custom wheels are covered for the first year and trailer tires for 2 years. Claims need the tire and the original receipt at a Robertson Tire store, and cover is for the original buyer only.

Does Robertson Tire have a road hazard warranty?

Not on any page we read. Its warranty says “Road hazards are not covered by this warranty,” and no plan is printed. A promotion requires “tire maintenance certificates,” which no page defines, so ask in store and get the terms in writing.

Does Robertson Tire fix flats for free?

Yes, “Even if you did not purchase the tires from us.” The puncture must be in the tread and under 1/4 inch, with at least 2/32 inch of tread left, and the tire must be in good condition and no more than 6 years old.
