FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
What 5,000+ Shops Are Telling Us About Winning Car Count in 2026
More than half your potential customers are searching online when you’re closed. Google’s AI is picking shops before drivers do. And the road from “I need new tires” to “I’ve got an appointment” has more turns than it used to.
You’re feeling it at the front counter; the data backs you up. We looked at observed behavior across more than 5,000 tire, service, and aftermarket shops to understand where some shops are quietly losing car count and what the best shops are doing to win it back.
The State of the Shop: 2026 is a free report built for shop owners and operators who want a clear, honest baseline for what good looks like right now. Not opinion. Real patterns from real shops.
You’ll find out where the handoffs break down, what drivers expect before they call, and what the shops pulling ahead are doing differently.

About Net Driven
For nearly 20 years, Net Driven has been the trusted digital partner built specifically for independent tire, service, and aftermarket shops. We serve 5,000+ shops across North America, partnering with the industry’s leading suppliers, co-op programs, and shop management systems to deliver connected solutions tailored to the unique demands of each shop we work with.
In a market where drivers have more choices and less patience, the shops that win are not the ones with the biggest budgets; they are the ones whose systems work better together. We give shop owners the website, marketing reach, online quoting, automated follow-up, and business clarity to get found, fill bays, and keep drivers coming back.
From getting found to getting booked to bringing customers back, our platform connects the full customer journey and gives shop owners the clarity to know what’s working and where to focus next. We believe every independent shop deserves a partner who understands how they operate, and we’ve spent nearly two decades building toward exactly that.
We bring customers to the shop and connect the systems that help owners grow it.
