A leading automotive service provider proudly announces its evolution under the leadership of Pallavi Gorrepati, a visionary entrepreneur in the auto industry.

With 25+ locations, the franchises previously operated under the name and identity of Car-X. As the daughter of the company’s founder, Pallavi Gorrepati made the strategic decision to reclaim her family’s business and create her own brand: Xpress Pro Tire & Auto.

This marks a pivotal moment for Pallavi Gorrepati and her family—the network of immigrant-owned auto shops has been in operation for more than 40 years, and now, the Gorrepati family is taking full ownership of their business.

Breaking Barriers

As a family-owned and female-led business, Xpress Pro stands as a testament to Pallavi Gorrepati’s determination and leadership in a traditionally male-dominated industry. Gorrepati knows her leadership breaks stereotypes.

According to a 2023 study conducted by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, women make up roughly 12.1% of the automotive repair and maintenance industry, and according to a study by Ratchet + Wrench, about 5% of auto shops are owned by women. Seeing firsthand how female patrons have expressed discomfort in automotive environments, Gorrepati has made it her mission to provide assurance and transparency to female customers under her leadership.

“I am proud to be a female business leader, and my team is committed to delivering exceptional service and exceeding customer expectations,” says Pallavi Gorrepati. “Our success is a reflection of our family’s dedication to excellence and our deep-rooted values of integrity, honesty, and hard work.”

Xpress Pro History

Xpress Pro Tire & Auto’s journey is a milestone on its journey to achieve the American dream, with the Gorrepati family’s immigrant heritage serving as a cornerstone of their success. Through hard work, perseverance, and a commitment to quality, they have built a thriving business that continues to grow and evolve to best serve the needs of their loyal customers.

As Xpress Pro Tire & Auto continues to expand its presence in the midwest, Pallavi Gorrepati remains dedicated to upholding the family legacy while embracing innovation and growth. With a focus on customer satisfaction and community engagement, her brand is poised to lead the way in the automotive industry for years to come.
