THE HISTORY OF BYMA'S TIRE & AUTO

ABOUT US

 

Byma’s Tire & Auto is a locally owned and operated Automotive Service Centre founded in 1987 by John Byma and his late wife, Trudy. The original business was in the Bridgeport Plaza in Waterloo, where it resided for 22 years serving the Tri-Cities.

 

John and Trudy’s son, Dave, joined the company in 1993 as a teenager to support the family business. Licensed as an Automotive Service Technician shortly after, Dave worked in the shop for several years servicing customer vehicles. When Trudy sadly passed away in 2004, Dave shifted his abilities to the counter of the business working alongside his father.

 

In 2009 Byma’s Tire & Auto had the opportunity to move to our current location, in the Williamsburg area of Kitchener, proudly serving the rapidly growing community and surrounding areas.

 

2015, John Byma made the difficult decision to retire from his pride and joy and he is currently enjoying retired life. However, customers will routinely see him around the shop painting, running scrap metal, or stopping by for a coffee!

 

In 2017, our capabilities increased by acquiring the adjacent building, bringing us to 14 service bays to support the continued growth in the community.

 

Today, Dave proudly run Byma’s Tire & Auto alongside their dedicated team.

 

We’re very thankful to our amazing team and loyal customers for supporting our family business for so many years!
