The store at 1904 W. Morton Ave. extends Sun Auto's Illinois network to 18 locations, while the company's earlier Burlington rebrand lifted its North Carolina footprint to eight.
Sun Auto Tire & Service said Plaza Tire Service opened a new store at 1904 W. Morton Ave. in Jacksonville, Illinois, strengthening its presence in Morgan County and taking the Sun Auto Network's Illinois footprint to 18 locations. The site is positioned to serve local residents, commuters and travelers across west-central Illinois with tires from national brands, installation, balancing, rotations, alignments and flat repairs, while offering 24/7 online appointment scheduling and digital vehicle inspections under the company's Driver Commitment to Clarity, Confidence and Customer Care. Sun Auto had previously said the Jacksonville opening was paired with the rebranding of acquired Southern Tire Sales in Burlington, North Carolina, a move that lifted its North Carolina total to eight locations and broadened its push in both regional markets. The company said it owns and operates more than 575 tire and service centers nationwide.
