# Percheron Capital

San Francisco, California. Essential-services buy-and-build with over $8B under management: tire and auto repair under Big Brand Tire & Service, commercial HVAC under Solidaire, plus foundation-repair and fire-safety.

## The Firm

Percheron Capital of San Francisco describes its mission as building category-defining essential-services businesses, the businesses that keep America running, and its current scale as more than $8 billion under management, 200-plus investments, and an eighty-plus-person team. The name is a draft-horse breed, and the identity matches: unglamorous trades, heavy pulling power.

Two things distinguish it from the other essential-services firms here. The first is platform breadth: tire and auto repair under Big Brand Tire and Service, whose Belle Tire purchase in July 2026 was among the largest independent tire-shop deals ever, commercial HVAC under Solidaire, plus foundation-repair and fire-safety platforms. The second is Percheron AI Ops, an in-house applied-AI engineering team building proprietary systems for frontline service workflows, which it treats as a core differentiator rather than a side project.

For auto-repair and HVAC searchers, Percheron is the argument that the trades' consolidation endgame is technological, not just financial: its claim is that AI-equipped platforms out-operate independents, not merely outbid them. Anyone meeting the firm should know the essential-services framing, the AI Ops team, and the multi-platform structure, because all three are how it describes itself.

Read again in September 2026: one tire add-on the list lacked, and the tire platform was recapitalized in a continuation vehicle at more than a billion and a half dollars before it bought Belle Tire. The media page is a script shell whose content API answers a fetch, and no HVAC add-on is posted anywhere.

## Confirmed Deals

Deals traced to announcements, newest first. Firms that announce every deal show a fuller run here than firms that report acquisitions as quarterly counts, so read this as the evidence that clears the bar rather than as the firm's whole record.
