My car was making a weird whirring noise under the hood. I emailed with Ashland Tire to find a good time to drop it off. Dropping off at 7am was a breeze. Many other folks had the same idea, so I knew this place was reputable (in addition to all its great online reviews) They gave me a call by 10:30am letting me know they could fix the whirring with a new belt. Also identified my brakes were at their end of life and offered to replace. Their quote for 4 new brake pads was extremely reasonable. By 1:45 my car was done being serviced and I went back to pick it up. Easy check out. No line. Very nice staff. A complete success. Definitely will use Ashland tire and auto for all future car needs and will recommend to all my friends read more

Overall, I had a good experience with Ashland Tire & Auto. I brought my car in for exhaust repairs, and they completed the work the same day. The repair cost seemed fair, though on the higher end of the expected range. One issue came up afterward: when I picked up the car, the tire pressure light was on. I initially assumed it was nothing serious, but by the following evening, one tire was completely flat. To be clear, I understand there's no way to know for sure whether the tire was damaged while the car was at the shop or while I was driving it home or the following day. I genuinely acknowledge that uncertainty. That said, the timing concerned me. I took the car to Just Tires, where I had purchased all four of the tires in 2022. I was told that the flat tire could not be repaired and needed to be replaced. Replacing two tires, which is fairly typical (depending on tread wear and matching) was recommended. The total cost, including tax and installation, was about $575. I discussed the situation with Ken Papas at Ashland Tire, and I appreciate the way he handled it. He didn't dismiss my concern, but he also fairly pointed out that neither of us could pinpoint when the damage occurred. He offered $150 toward the replacement cost, which I accepted. I think that was a reasonable, good-faith gesture, even though covering the cost of one tire would have felt more satisfying. I'm leaving a positive review because the exhaust issue has been resolved (so I assume the original repair was done correctly) and because Ken handled an uncertain situation professionally. I'd consider using Ashland Tire & Auto again. read more

What great people Tire was low headed to a job. Saul helped me out no questions asked. He definitely saved my day. What a nice group of guys there. Thanks more than you know read more

Very reasonably priced. Especially for being in the city. I think they're very straight forward. They're very fast. Dropped my car off Saturday morning(only open til 12), they finished by Monday afternoon (they're closed Sunday). My brakes feel great, they fixed my front and back brakes and rotors. They exchanged my spark plugs, two tires, and fixed my right wheel barring. They have the best priced oil change in the city-- by far. Definitely won over a new customer from me! Thanks guys! read more

Fast, professional, and reasonable priced. Had a tire go flat, needed a replacement. Replacement took less than 20 minutes.

I cannot recommend this place enough!! I have taken my 4-Runner to them for new brakes and my partner started going there with his car as well. They are straight forward and honest and great to deal with. I recently had a weird rattle that ended up being a very simple fix. They said, "it took us 3 mins to fix this, no charge. Come back with the big problems!" I was floored. What a great business to have in the Lakeview Neighborhood and they have earned my permanent business and I suggest you support them too! You won't be disappointed! read more

Found this place on Yelp and went in at 8am on a Saturday for a nail in my tire and I was out of there in 10 minutes! They took me right away and didn't try to do any sort of upselling or recommendation on other things that might need to get done. $35 and totally worth it Great to find a reliable, quick auto shop! read more

Quick service for a great price! I will always go to them, even when it's out of my way.

These guys are the best tire shop in Chicago. Ken is amazing and his staff has taken care of me in my TIME OF NEED again and again again... so thankful. DONT GO ANYWHWRE ELSE read more

Highly recommend this place. I hit a nail and was losing tire pressure quickly. They got me in right away and in 15 minutes was on my way for a VERY reasonable price. Take your vehicle here for quality service and fair prices. Will definitely go back. read more

I have been going here for 25 years, and I am never disappointed. Fast, professional, courteous and fair prices. Highly recommend!!!

This has been a long time coming, but simply the best. I won't take my car anywhere else. Honest Reliable Reasonable Professional Thorough Quality It's rare in these times you can trust a business to do a great job without robbing you blind. What more can I say about service that's exceptional, professional and willing to be fair with their customers time after time. These folks are as good as it gets when it comes to auto repair. Please, don't ever sell the business. Continue to manage it the way you do. Countless examples over the years I have personally and from many friends recommended what a spectacular job they do. I can't recommend them enough. Very rare to get this type of level of trust as a business from me. Thanks guys for all the great work and keeping my city sled in top condition over the years. They even give great recommendations to other businesses (Tiger Body Shop). read more

Highly recommend for any and all services! Ken and his team have always provided great service + timing with repairs and truly stand behind their their word. They went beyond what any other shop would do and would recommend you visit for your next auto repair. read more

Chicago pothole took out my front passenger tire. I got car towed to Ashland Tire and got 4 new tires and had my new wheels put on also. I brought tire pressure sensors that online store said worked with my 2022 Audi S3. Well they quickly informed me my car does not use those but it use the ABS system to monitor air pressure. I also asked them to my Check Engine Light as my Audi Dealer wanted $295 and their price is $125. Well the emission CEL they found an Audi Tech Bulletin they described the symptom but no fix was available. It's a chronic issue with most 22-23 models. They waived the diagnostic charge and gave me ammo that Audi was going to charge me for a problem they knew about already and no fix. In summary - great service, competitive pricing and honest. They have a customer for life! read more

Nail removed and patch service for a flat tire was quick. I was in and out in 30 mins for in under $40.

've been coming here since 1998, when I was 17, and it's the only place I trust to work on my vehicles. Great team, great customer service, and a great family-owned business. read more

I was driving to work and my low tire pressure light came on, pulled over and noticed a nail in my tire. After a few colorful words, I took my car to Ashland Tire & Auto because it's close to my job. I took a shot of just driving in, since it was a Monday morning and no appointment. I was greeted right away and to relax in the waiting area. The area has a fish tank and a tv. I was in and out in under 20 minutes!!! And I still made it to work on time. Great price, great service and awesome staff. read more

See all

Ashland was recently recommended and I went there for the first time. My car is fifteen years old but in almost new condition. I needed a new blower motor (fan) for my A/C. They couldn't find one with their local supplier. I found one online from out of state. I took it to them to install. I went at 7 AM when they opened. Wow! Seven people were waiting ahead of me. They got us all in quickly. I was there about 20 minutes and my car was done! The man said: "That was such an easy job I'm not going to charge you for it, here's your keys, your car's out front." Yeah, I'll go back. read more

I brought my truck in after I somehow screwed up attaching a luggage carrier right before a family trip. They took it right in, fixed the issue right away, and didn't even charge me. They saved Christmas. These guys are a class act. read more

Unethical business, took my car in for inspection and they lied about needing brake caliper and hose work

Ken and team were great and highly recommend. One of the sidewalls on my tires blew out and they were able to analyze the situation and replace the tire in no time. The customer service was also great. read more

A go-to not only for tires and suspension but also the range of air conditioning, radiator, vacuum system, electronic and emissions stuff that's necessary for just about any car made in the last 40 years. I'd only worry about something like a very heavy and involved engine or transmission rebuild, and there I suspect they will tell you before you have to find out anything the hard way about any issues that need to be sent somewhere else. They're quick, easy to schedule, fairly priced....and I don't recall having had to do something over there. I only wish I lived closer to them, but the ten years I was in their neighborhood I certainly didn't have to worry about the car. read more

Ken and his team are outstanding. Prompt service and fair prices. I always purchased my tires there, and I always have service work done there. They're very honest. read more

I had been an Ashland Tire and Auto customer for almost 15 years, but I will never go there again. Last fall when I had my new winter tires mounted and installed, I had the new tires and necessary spacing ring and retaining clip hardware shipped directly from Tire Rack, for which Ashland Tire and Auto is a preferred installer. Ashland Tire and Auto didn't install the hardware, didn't return it to me and didn't mention anything about it. I didn't find this out until the spring when I changed the wheels - that's when I found out that Ashland hadn't installed the hardware and left my car in an unsafe condition all winter. They also basically stole my new hardware that I had just paid for. When I called to ask what had happened, and if they at least still had the hardware, they were dismissive and didn't care. The person I spoke to on the phone didn't seem to understand the issue or care to offer any where to fix it. Look somewhere else - there are plenty of good, honest and professional tire shops around that do it right every time. read more

I've been coming here since I moved to Chicago 35 years ago - almost as long as they have existed. I picked up a nail yesterday in rear passenger tire. 35 bucks and 30 minutes (at most) later I was in and out and ready to go. Thanks guys you are the best. read more

The remedial work was conducted without pre-notifying me. My inputs would have been relevant.

I had a REALLY positive experience with Ashland tire where I had my car towed there when they open and had to work. They got it all fixed up, great price and were done by the time I finished work. (They even ended up adding an oil change that they didn't charge me for as "I really needed it".) Super nice to deal with, fast, went above and beyond. 10/10! read more

Went to Ashland tire to replace a radiator end of last year. Earlier this year car wasnt running right and brought it back to them. They told me this was a defective radiator and replaced it for no charge. Next day car died and had to tow it back to them. They recommended a transmission place to look at it and they said i needed to replace the transmission to the tune of $6,000! From what I've now learned the defecitve radiator caused damage to transmission in certain areas. I asked Ken to pay for this because his company put in the defective radiator and he just washed his hands of this. Never go back!! read more

Ive used Ashland since I discovered them back in 1995. I've taken all my cars there since, once they're out of warranty.. Always fair and honest. I go to them for all my car repairs and of course tires! read more

These guys saved my day. With all the summer construction going on, I may have driven over a sharp object, had a flat tire and the guys at Ashland fixed it ASAP and I was on my way. Furthermore, the tech told me that my side-wall was damaged; such repairs are either extremely difficult or impossible. They also have a vast collection of tires in their shop. read more

Ashland Tire & Auto - Came here for a flat tire - Tires Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Once again I have a fantastic experience at Ashland Tire. Guy checking my tire pressure finds that the valve needs to be replaced. A small part that kept my tire from slowly losing air on a road trip. These guys are crazy great. read more

Incredible service!!! My son called me to say he had another flat tire. I am located in suburbs. Called this amazing service center, I was nicely greeted on phone. Gentleman was patient, helpful and very professional. I spoke to Ken. He could probably tell I was frazzled. After my son had the tire changed by roadside, he took to Ashland Tire received the best service; honest, trustworthy and fast assistance. His tire was fixed vs. needing to be replaced. When the time comes we will definitely be using Ashland Tire and Auto for new tires and future needs. Nothing like knowing there is a local shop nearby that can be trusted. Thanks Ken and your team for the help! read more

They gave me 4 tires not recommended for my model by Michelin or BMW, and they won't exchange for the correct tires. BS sales talk. Stay away. read more

I brought my vehicle in for an oil change, tire rotation and to get my windshield wipers replaced. They were super communicative and priced well! I have no complaints or really lots of insight here-just to say all the good reviews are true imo! read more

Love these guys. I've been going here since I moved to Chicago and they know me by name. Highly recommend. Honest and reliable. read more

I've taken my car here a couple times and have always been treated fairly and honestly. They do a great job at a fair price and I trust them more with each experience! read more

Ashland Tire has been our go to for more than 25 years. They have taken care of every car my family has owned. The team is honest, responsive, has a great overnight drop option, and are great neighbors. I have seen them help stuck cars in the alley! One example of their honesty and trustworthiness: our car battery died and we had it towed to Ashland. The next day they call and say the battery is fine and they couldn't find anything wrong with it. They didn't charge us or make us feel bad for bringing it in. Oh and an added bonus: Jack's baritone voice. It's the best! read more

I cannot recommend this place enough. Pulled in 15 minutes before closing due to a very large screw in one of my tires. Not only were they fast and efficient, they were so kind. Thank you so much for helping me and my two young kids today. My tire would have not made it until morning. read more

VERY GOOD service, fast, responsive, communicative I recommend everyone to go if having tire issues read more

Ordered from Tire Rack and had them delivered. Went on my lunch hour and Edgar the tech had them installed in around 30 min. 5 stars
