Shrader Tire & Oil Honored by Michelin for 20 Years as a Retread Technologies Partner

Shrader Tire & Oil Honored by Michelin for 20 Years as a Retread Technologies Partner

by | Jun 8, 2026 | Awards, Michelin, News, Retreads

For more than 75 years, Shrader Tire & Oil has been a trusted Michelin retread plant location serving commercial fleets across Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana. This month, that commitment earned a formal recognition — Michelin honored Shrader Tire & Oil for 20 years as a Michelin Retread Technologies Partner.

It’s not an award handed out broadly. It reflects two decades of sustained performance, quality standards, and a working relationship that both companies have invested in.

Shrader Tire & Oil leadership team gathered with the Michelin Retread Technologies Bibendum trophy at Toledo headquarters

What This Means for Your Fleet

Being a certified Michelin retread plant location means one thing for your fleet: access to retreads built to Michelin’s standards — not a generic alternative.

Shrader Tire & Oil operates two Michelin retread plant locations — Pemberville, Ohio and Melvindale, Michigan — serving commercial fleets across Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and beyond. That translates directly to lower per-mile tire costs without sacrificing safety or tread life. Fourteen locations. Mobile service. A team that’s been at this since 1948. One call, it’s done.

In Jim’s Words

“My father started this company with a handshake and a promise to take care of people. I’d like to think this award is proof we’ve kept that promise.”

What Makes a Michelin Retread Worth Running

Not all retreads are created equal — and that’s the point.

Michelin Retread Technologies uses a standardized 9-step process across every franchise plant, including both of ours. Every tire goes through initial inspection, computer-automated buffing, casing integrity analysis, X-ray, repair, tread building, double-enveloping, curing, and a final inspection before it leaves the plant. No shortcuts. No guesswork.

The result: Michelin retreads last 90% as long as a new tire at 50% the cost.* For a fleet running dozens of tires, that math adds up fast.

Fuel economy holds up too. Michelin retreads are engineered to deliver similar fuel efficiency to new tires — a factor that matters when diesel costs are eating into your margins.

There’s also an environmental case. Retreading a single casing reduces resources required by 66%, with significant reductions in oil, water, energy, and emissions compared to manufacturing a new tire. If your fleet has sustainability reporting requirements, a retread program is a straightforward win.

*Based on field data compiled by Michelin representatives and internal testing.

Chevron Lubricants Distributor in Toledo, Ohio Earns Gold Award — 2 Years Running

Chevron Lubricants Distributor in Toledo, Ohio Earns Gold Award — 2 Years Running

by | May 1, 2026 | Oil

When Chevron names you a Chevron Gold Distributor once, you hit the mark. When they name you one two years in a row, it tells your customers something more important: it’s not a fluke. It’s how you operate.

Shrader Tire & Oil is proud to announce we’ve earned the Chevron Gold Distributor Award for the second consecutive year — one of the highest recognitions Chevron extends to lubricant distributors across the country. For fleets in the Toledo, Ohio area and across the Midwest, this matters.

What the Chevron Gold Award Actually Means

Chevron doesn’t hand out Gold status lightly. To earn it, a Chevron lubricants distributor must meet rigorous benchmarks across three areas:

  • Sales performance — consistently moving Chevron products at volume across customer accounts
  • Product knowledge — demonstrating technical expertise in commercial lubricants, DEF, and fleet-specific applications
  • Customer service excellence — maintaining high standards for reliability, responsiveness, and problem resolution

Earning it back-to-back means our team isn’t just hitting a number once — we’re building the kind of operation that consistently delivers at a certified level.

“Three generations of the Shrader family have built this company on one principle: when your fleet needs something, we show up.”

-Joe Shrader, CEO, Owner, 3rd Generation

Why This Matters for Your Fleet

If you manage a commercial fleet in Ohio, Michigan, or Indiana, you already know that lubricant quality isn’t a line item to cut corners on. The wrong oil in the wrong engine at the wrong interval costs you far more than the savings you thought you were getting.

Sourcing Chevron lubricants through a Gold-certified distributor like Shrader Tire & Oil means:

  • You’re working with a distributor held to Chevron’s highest distributor standards — verified, not self-reported
  • Our team has the product knowledge to match the right Chevron lubricant to your fleet’s specific engines and duty cycles
  • The DEF and oils you source through STO are backed by both Chevron’s quality guarantee and our local service expertise
  • You get a single-source relationship for fleet tires and lubricants — fewer vendors, cleaner operations

Shrader Tire & Oil is a Chevron Gold-certified distributor serving fleets across Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana. Let’s talk about what your operation needs.

26.2 Reasons We’re Proud of Our Team

26.2 Reasons We’re Proud of Our Team

by | Apr 27, 2026 | Community

STO teammates laced up for the 2026 Glass City Marathon — and they delivered.

Shrader Tire & Oil relay team at the 2026 Glass City Marathon in Toledo, Ohio

The STO relay team — Nick Wingate, Donna Wingate, Joe Shrader, Ashley Greely & Bob Feldbauer — finished 4th in the Corporate Mixed Relay division.

On April 27, 2026, the streets of Toledo filled with thousands of runners for the Glass City Marathon. Mixed in with the crowd were seven people from Shrader Tire & Oil — from the corner office to the shop floor — who showed up, put in the miles, and reminded us that the same grit that drives this company shows up well outside of work hours too.

The Relay Team: 4th Place, Corporate Mixed Division

Five members of the STO family joined forces to tackle the relay: Joe Shrader (CEO), Bob Feldbauer (CFO), Ashley Greely (Safety Training Manager), and Nick and Donna Wingate from our Perrysburg location.

The team finished 4th out of all mixed male/female teams in the corporate relay division. It’s not every day you see a CEO and CFO running alongside a safety manager and a husband-and-wife team from the shop. But that’s kind of the point — at STO, the org chart doesn’t define who we are. This team shared miles, cheered each other on, and crossed the finish line together.

See the official results: 2026 Glass City Marathon Corporate Relay Results

The Full Marathon: Neil Chryst’s 24th

Neil Chryst, Sales, crossing the finish line — marathon #24.

And then there’s Neil Chryst, Sales, who ran the full 26.2 miles — for the 24th time.

Twenty-four marathons. Let that sink in. While most of us are still negotiating with ourselves to take the stairs, Neil has been quietly stacking full marathons for years. No fanfare, no fuss — just showing up, putting in the work, and finishing strong. If you’ve ever been on a sales call with Neil, this probably doesn’t surprise you.

What This Has to Do With Tires (Bear With Us)

We’re a tire and oil company. We spend our days thinking about uptime, reliability, and keeping fleets moving. Those things don’t happen by accident — they take consistency, preparation, and people who don’t quit when it gets hard.

That’s the same mentality we saw on the course Sunday. And it’s the same one our team brings to work every day. Whether it’s 3 a.m. roadside service, a retread program that saves a fleet real money, or a 24th marathon, the common thread is people who are built to go the distance.

STO team celebrating after the 2026 Glass City Marathon corporate rela

Celebrating at the finish — medals well earned.

Proud of every one of them. See you at mile 25 next year. 💙

Giving Back at 78: Shrader Tire & Oil’s Anniversary Hygiene Drive

Giving Back at 78: Shrader Tire & Oil’s Anniversary Hygiene Drive

by | Mar 31, 2026 | Community

For 78 years, Shrader Tire & Oil has been more than a tire and oil service provider — we’ve been a neighbor. From our Ohio locations in Columbus, Lima, Heath, Perrysburg, and Toledo, to our Michigan and Indiana stores, we’ve built our business one community at a time.

This April, we’re marking our 78th anniversary the way it feels right: by giving back.

From April 1st through April 19th, every Shrader Tire & Oil location across Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana will be collecting essential personal hygiene items for local shelters and nonprofits. Every donation stays in the community where it was dropped off — no exceptions.

Why Hygiene? Why Now?

Personal care items like toothpaste, shampoo, and diapers are among the most needed yet least donated items at local shelters. They aren’t covered by food assistance programs, and for families in crisis they’re often the first thing to go. As a company that serves the hardworking people of Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana every day, we wanted our anniversary celebration to reflect what we actually believe: that business and community go hand in hand.

Most Needed Items

Please donate new, unused items only:

  • Toothpaste & Toothbrushes
  • Shampoo & Conditioner
  • Body Wash / Bar Soap
  • Deodorant
  • Feminine Hygiene Products
  • Razors
  • Baby Wipes & Diapers

Where Your Donations Go — Every Location, Every Beneficiary

One of the things we’re most proud of with this drive is that all donations stay local. Here’s exactly where each Shrader Tire & Oil location’s donations will go:

How to Donate

Drop off any new, unused hygiene items at your nearest Shrader Tire & Oil location between April 1st and April 19th. No purchase necessary. No appointment needed. Just stop by — our team will take care of the rest.
