THE LEGACY OF MAVIS

The story of Mavis began in 1949 when Victor Sorbaro opened Vic’s Cycle Shop in Millwood, New York. Originally focused on bicycles, the small shop quickly gained a reputation for quality service and trustworthiness. Recognizing the growing needs of his community, Victor expanded his offerings to include tire services, laying the groundwork for what would eventually become Mavis Tire.

In the decades that followed, the business evolved, with a focus on delivering exceptional tire and automotive services at the most competitive prices. By the 1970s, the company was rebranded as Mavis Tire, a name that has since become synonymous with reliability, quality, and affordability.

Mavis’s legacy, which spans over seven decades, reflects a commitment to meeting the needs of drivers across the country. What began as a small shop in 1949 has grown into a trusted name in the automotive service industry, with hundreds of locations offering a full range of tire and vehicle maintenance services.

Today, Mavis stands as a testament to its humble beginnings, built on the foundation of quality and trust established in 1949. Whether it’s tires, brakes, or routine vehicle care, Mavis continues to uphold its mission of keeping customers on the road safely and affordably.
