Same Service, New Name: BestDrive Ireland Becomes Modern Tyres
As BestDrive transitions with full operational continuity, temporary outlet closures will occur on August 30th to support IT system integration.
Mahony Fleet would like to inform our fleet customers that BestDrive outlets nationwide will be closed on Saturday, August 30th, to facilitate a major IT systems changeover.
This temporary closure is part of the transition as BestDrive Ireland becomes part of Modern Tyres, a move that will take effect officially on September 1, 2025.
Modern Tyres, a family-owned business with over 60 years of experience, is expanding its national footprint by integrating BestDrive’s extensive network and expertise in the Republic of Ireland.
This strategic acquisition, announced by Modern Tyres and Continental Tires, marks a significant milestone in Ireland’s tyre & aftermarket sector.
As reported by Fleet.ie, BestDrive Ireland has built a strong reputation over three decades under the Continental Tires branding, employing over 200 staff across its Dublin head office, branches, and apprenticeship teams.
The merger will enable customers to access a broader range of tyre and vehicle maintenance services, backed by Modern Tyres’ deep local roots and customer-first approach.
What This Means for Your Fleet
- Temporary Closure: All BestDrive outlets will be closed on Saturday, August 30th, for IT system integration.
- No Service Disruption: Existing bookings will be honoured, and operations will continue as normal after the transition.
- Same Team, Expanded Services: You’ll continue to work with the same trusted professionals, now with access to a broader product offering and service network.
Ian Feddersen, Managing Director of BestDrive Ireland, noted that this move will help the company “realise its full local market potential” and ensure continuity and growth under Modern Tyres’ leadership.
We encourage fleet managers and drivers to plan for the August 30th closure and contact your Mahony Fleet Driver Support Team for assistance with scheduling or service needs.
Mahony Fleet remains committed to keeping your vehicles on the road with minimal disruption and maximum support.
