Randy Lewis, president of Gonzales Tire & Automotive, joins Johnny g & Friends to explain how his family grew one Louisiana tire shop into a four-location tire and automotive repair business without abandoning the customer-service principles that built its reputation. Founded by Randy’s father, Roy Lewis, in 1966, Gonzales Tire began primarily as a tire, brake and chassis shop. Randy shares why opening a second location forced the company to expand into total car care, how he learned to delegate while managing multiple stores and why tire dealers must be willing to invest – and remain patient – to keep growing. The conversation also explores family-business succession, working alongside siblings, preparing the next generation and keeping workplace disagreements from affecting family relationships. Randy explains why personal vehicle walkarounds, direct conversations and earning a customer’s trust remain essential, even as video inspections, AI and automation change the tire and auto repair industry.
