There are 1,197 tire shops on map listings in Virginia as of September 2026. 540 of them (45%) are chain locations. The listings count tire shops and tire dealers. Official counts show 501 businesses with payroll classed as tire dealers in 2023, down 6.7% from 2019.
How much do households in Virginia spend on vehicle maintenance and repairs?

Spread across the 1,197 tire shops on map listings, it comes to $2.7M per shop. The spending figure covers all vehicle maintenance and repairs, not only tire shops. It is estimated from the incomes of the 3,365,732 households in Virginia and national spending patterns by income.
How does Virginia compare with the U.S. for tire shops?
Virginia has 3.6 tire shops per 10,000 households, 5% below the U.S. rate of 3.8. Spending per shop is $2.7M, 9% above the U.S. figure of $2.5M. At the national ratio of tire shops to household spending, Virginia would have about 1,301, against 1,197 on map listings. There is one business with payroll in the industry for every 6,718 households, against one for every 6,381 across the U.S. The official count fell 6.7% from 2019 to 2023, against −0.4% for the U.S.

Among 4 scored small-town markets in or partly in Virginia, the Lake of the Woods area scores highest, at 66 (upper middle). Among 61 scored counties in Virginia, Loudoun County scores highest, at 90 (very high). Scores compare each market with others of its kind across the U.S.
What is the Groundwork market score?
The Groundwork market score runs from 0 to 100 and compares a market with others of its kind for one business type: states with states, metro areas with metro areas, small-town markets and counties with their own. It weighs household spending per competitor (35%), households per business with payroll (25%), population growth (20%) and spending power (20%), each ranked against those peers. A higher score means that, taken together, the market has more household spending and more households for each business already there, faster population growth and more spending per household than similar markets. It describes a market, not any one site or deal. Virginia scores 55 for tire shops (upper middle), #24 of the 50 states and DC.
How can I see the market around a specific site?
Run a Groundwork site report on an address in Virginia. It maps the tire shops on map listings near the site and sizes the households and spending within the distance you choose. New accounts get 10 actions over 3 days, no card.
