Employee Spotlight: Mike Martin

September 9, 2026
If you’ve had tires done at Pete’s, there’s a good chance Mike Martin had something to do with them. Mike has been in the tire business for 30 years and has spent th e last 14 of those years here at Pete’s. Tires are his specialty, and after three decades, it’s safe to say he knows his way around them. Mike’s history with Pete goes back even further. He’s known Pete for about 30 years, and one of his first jobs was actually working for Pete all those years ago. Pete’s uncle Gary, who still works here today, helped teach Mike the trade. When we asked Mike what has kept him around, his answer was pretty simple. “Pete’s always done me good.” Outside of work, Mike is dad to two kids, ages 13 and 14. We’re grateful to have someone with Mike’s experience and history as part of the Pete’s Automotive crew. #PetesAutomotive #WaxahachieTX #EmployeeSpotlight #TireExperts #ShopLocal
