True North continues expansion, adds Louisiana locations

True North Fleet Services has announced a new partnership with Total Tire Solutions LLC, a Baton Rouge, La.,-based commercial repair operator. 

With the addition of Total Tire to its platform, True North continues to strategically scale across the Southern United States and diversify its service capabilities to include traditional heavy duty truck, industrial, construction and agriculture vehicle repairs.

“We’re pleased to welcome Aubrey ‘Lynn’ Wiggins Jr. and his team to the True North platform and support them in their next phase of growth,” says Gary Price, CEO of True North Fleet Services. “Total Tire has built a strong reputation throughout Southern Louisiana for high-quality repairs, expansive service offerings and a customer-first approach — providing an excellent foundation for future development.

Founded by Lynn Wiggins Jr. and Michelle Wiggins in 2006, True North says Total Tire is a commercial repair specialist recognized throughout Southern Louisiana for high-quality tire and repair services for trucks, trailers, specialty and heavy equipment. From locations in Broussard, Kenner and its original shop in Baton Rouge, Total Tire offers a comprehensive suite of repair solutions, including specialty tire sales and repairs, TPMS maintenance, brake, steering and suspension repairs, wheel services, as well as 24/7 roadside assistance. 

As part of the True North platform, Total Tire gains access to True North’s cutting-edge systems, administrative services and capital resources to help accelerate its growth, the company says. 

“This partnership is a significant milestone for our business and a credit to the enduring loyalty of our customers and the work of our talented team. For 20 years, our priority has been to provide Baton Rouge and Southern Louisiana drivers with top-quality products and unmatched services at a good price,” says Lynn Wiggins. “With True North’s backing, we’ll continue to provide first-rate service and further develop our premium selection of products and services, while enhancing employee benefits and spreading our footprint into new markets. I am thrilled to see what the next chapter holds.” 

True North’s partnership with Total Tire also follows its previously announced investments in Georgia-based operators Elite Diesel and Myles Truck Repair, as well as Philadelphia-based PennFleet and San Antonio-based Billy Bob’s Repair & Tire. True North’s continued success is supported by Garnett Station Partners, a New York-based principal investment firm that manages approximately $4 billion of assets.
