Name: Mark Moore

Bio: 20 years management experience

"My uncle and founder of G.L. Moore Tire, Gary Moore, gave me the opportunity to come into the business in 1996.  After working and learning from him for 5 years he was stricken with cancer and later passed away in 2002.  I subsequently purchased the business from my aunt, Sandy, in 2003.  It has been my personal goal to continue to keep the trust of Gary's customers by offering the best service and quality work in Springfield.  Gary and I were raised in the Moore family to be honest and I believe that is the number one trait we can offer our customers."
