The History of TIAA

In 1980, some leaders in the automotive service industry determined that there was a need for an association which would join together independent businesses across the state of Texas to promote professional and quality automotive service within the industry while providing a network of support across the state for its members. TIAA is a not-for-profit association. We welcome professional, quality, independent businesses engaged in the automotive service industry. We also welcome associate members which support the automotive service industry. These associate members include, but are not limited to, automotive parts suppliers, equipment companies (including computer software and hardware), insurance companies/agents, technical and managerial training businesses, uniform service companies, and much more. We appreciate the commitment and vision of the original founders of TIAA and want to make sure we maintain their dedication to all TIAA members and the customers we serve.
