American Tire Depot did not disclose its investment in the properties or cost of conversions.
The dealership said its drive to expand in a stagnant California economy is a “testament to its unwavering belief in the value of world class customer service, expert auto maintenance, and offering customers with a wide range of affordable wheel and tire selection.”
Together the five new locations represent at least 35 automotive specialist jobs, American Tire Depot said.
Three of the new stores — in Diamond Bar, Downey and Torrance — are in Los Angeles county, while the Laguna Niguel store is in Orange County and the Yucca Valley location is in San Bernadino County.
