Shrader Tire & Oil Leadership Team accepted the Chevron Gold Award at the annual meeting.

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

May 1, 2026

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
