I had a really horrible Experience at Firestone in Lombard. I came for an Alignment and they ended up breaking the Inner Tie Rod. I understand that Accidents happen but trying to make me pay over $1,100 for their mistake is INSANE. I asked them to give me a Solution and all I was told is that "it happens" The Manager didn't even care. I had to drive my car back home with a broken Inner Tie Rod. Thank God I only live 3 minutes away. PLEASE DON'T TRUST THIS LOCATION. I believe that Firestone is great but the one here in Lombard needs to be manage better. They don't care. I am never coming back or have anyone close to me go there. read more

I've been a Firestone customer for 20 years. This was my first time at this particular location and I have to say that I"m very happy with the service. Jim was amazing - he helped me determine the minimal I could do (for budget reasons) to fix the car. He was kind, not pushy, knowledgeable, understanding, and extremely helpful. Car works great upon pickup. read more

So, I had a total bummer of a day flat tire! The sidewall was the culprit, and even though I had a warranty, the dealership said it was a shifted belt and wouldn't cover it. Their tire prices? Let's just say they were astronomical! Then I called your store, and I talked to Tim. Man, what a lifesaver! He was super helpful, took his time explaining my options, and didn't rush me like some other places did. I really appreciated his knowledge and honesty. He pointed out I needed two tires because of the different tread sizes on my axles and while he suggested Firestone or Bridgestone he also said if I was only replacing one, I should stick with what I already had no pressure to upsell me! That's awesome, since some salespeople only push their top dollar options.Thanks again, Tim, for your help, and for getting me in and out quickly! And a big shoutout to the tech who put my spare back on, checked the air pressure, and left everything super clean. You guys are the best! read more

My aunt who is not too good on computer recently got her tires done here and had great service. Very helpful. They were patient with her and explained everything thoroughly. read more

I came in to get a free break inspection and Ed and his team went above and beyond to secure my business and my satisfaction. I ended up getting new pads and rotors for my VW beetle for 1000$ They doubled my warranty to 3 years 24,000 miles and I tested my breaker and they Sound SOO MUCH BETTER. I'm really happy I listened to Ed and he was really the selling point for me, he was patient, helpful and happy to answer any questions I had about the quote. Bud handled my payment, and he was an absolute professional and joy to talk to. I have full confidence in this location and their management and I expect to be back when I need new pads! read more

Bud and his team were super helpful and tried to get us in and out as fast as they could.

Just FYI, for you ladies out there.. My wife made the appointment ..... and if I didn't pick it up, she probably would not have noticed Took her Ford edge in for an alignment and tire rotation. I picked it up the next morning. Drove it down the street. Car still pulling to the right. Get out and look , they did not rotate the tires. Go back to the shop, inquire that they did not rotate the tires and it's still pulling to the right. They apologize and didn't know why they didn't happen. Then they walked outside and said that because one of the front tires is showing wear. they were not allowed to do it for safety reasons. (tires are not that bad). So I said you don't want to put the good tires on the front for steering? Then why did you charge me for the tire rotation? They did give me quote for $2500 for new struts shocks and everything else of course which it does not need. I am a mechanic and that stuff I can take care of myself if it needs it. I believe since I did not purchase their quote. They did not do the alignment or anything.. never going back read more

I received both the worst service and the worst customer service I've ever experienced in my life at this Firestone location. I showed up on a Wednesday to drop my car off. The A/c had stopped working, it was due for an oil change, and I wanted to have the whole thing looked at with a full vehicle inspection because I had a road trip coming up, on which I would be taking my toddler. When I showed up, the person checking me in had AirPods in the whole time and was almost completely non-verbal with me. I told them multiple times why I was there, emphasizing the A/C and the oil change. They asked if I wanted to wait, but I said I'd come back because I had to work. I was told it'd be ready by 3:00. 3:00 rolled around, and I called before going to get pick up my vehicle. At that point, I was told nothing had been done to it yet. They person who took my call told me they would start running tests as part of the full vehicle inspection, but that's I'd likely not get my car back that day. They said they'd call me with their findings and see what work I'd like to have the. Due based on those findings. After 4:00, I called again, and they told me that I needed a new thermostat. I asked if that was the problem with the A\C and they said maybe but that it would have more to do with the engine overheating. I told them to fix it and again requested they look directly at the A/C (it is summer, and I am going to have a toddler in the car for an extended period of time) At this point, they told me very condescendingly that air conditioning "is a nice to have." They also insisted I needed a new battery (which had already been recently replaced). To make a long story somewhat shorter, I brought it in Wednesday, I did not get it back until Friday, they missed multiple deadlines for callbacks and blew past my pickup time by an hour and a half, during which I sat and waited. Why did I have to wait so long? They had never done an oil change by the time I arrived to pick it up. And guess what, when I finally get in the car, the A/c doesn't work. I got the car home, called them back and told them that I was coming back to have them finish looking at the A/C. They then quoted me the required part with the most insane markup I've ever seen and almost another grand in labor to fix it. Fast forward to the road trip. I'm in the car with my wife and child, it starts making a terrible noise, we smell burning oil, it stops accelerating, and the wheel locks up. We roll off to the side of the road. I brought it in for an oil change and A/C fix, and I ended up on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere with a smoking engine and a toddler crying in the backseat as we sit and wait for help in the heat. I refuse to believe this is not the direct result of something done to my car at that Firestone. read more

Stephen was efficient, accommodating, and awesome. This was the only shop open that day and they exceeded my expectations, will be back!

These guys, Jim, at this location are the best. I performed a Brake Job on one of my cars. Jim and Firestone Team gave my Work a free inspection. Outstanding! Well Done! Semper Fi my Friends Stay Healthy read more

Something a little weird happened the last couple times I came to this location. I indicated this location to my mom and I regret it so much. Las time we were there, my mom's car was making a strong noise and shaking when she pressed the break, so we stopped by to check it. They said it was the brake mount or front mount (I don't remember exactly) and they said it would cost her 800 dollars. After she left the place the car was worse, shaking and making a bigger noise, so she decided to go to another mechanic to make another estimate. To our surprise the mechanic was impressed by what he saw. He said that the car was good and the only thing was some loose screws that he tightened and the car was in perfect condition after that and still is. He didn't charge anything to her. That is a rip off, I already told a couple friends that I recommended it before and we will not go back to this place. My mom is going to another mechanic that she can trust now. read more

Spent $2200 at this location on a new exhaust and full brake job, but the work was not completed/installed properly. I dropped it back off and after more than 24 hours I still didn't have an answer or diagnosis. Instead I was told I should spend another $800 on an alternator and belt tensioner, and there was no tech there that day to complete the work to boot. Save yourself the money, the attitude from Shaun, and the hassle of being dicked around and drive the 3 miles further to the Glen Ellyn Firestone. They properly attached the new muffler free of charge that the Lombard store did not. It really is a shame because Eddie the store manager at Lombard seemed very polite and competent, but I can't say the same for the rest of his team. This store would benefit from better communication with its customers and a more honest work ethic. Do better please. read more

We have been coming to this Firestone for a couple years. That's what makes this most recent experience so very disappointing. We brought in our son's 2001 Grand Am for a thermostat replacement. They quoted $108 to diagnose issue and change the oil. They called my husband several times through the 6 hours they were working on our car, convincing him (hard selling and scare tactics) to keep adding work to the list. When I went in to pick it up, we now owed almost $1600! They wouldn't credit the original diagnostic charge even though we did the work (and more). The real kicker is that I added up the labor hours for each item and they totalled 11.5 hours! They must also have the ability to change the laws of physics since they worked on our car for only 6 hors! This was a $2500 beater and they worked us over. When i brought up the issue of hours, they explained that this is a standard practice to charge "book" hours, no matter how long it takes the technician.. In fact, the guy refused to discuss it and demanded payment. We won't be back EVER! SHAME ON FIRESTONE! read more

Jim, Adam and Megan did a good job servicing my car. I purchased new tires and appreciate all the work you put in to assist me. Thanks for the great service! read more

Awesome tire installation with a lifetime alignment is worth it. Purchase tires online and they a really good with that.

Terrible service!!. Don't waste your time or money. I've been to many Firestones before and none of them have been this terrible of customer service. I am now aware of why the low reviews. read more

Stay away for REAL... Never call or think about going to this lombard site! Here's why! Part 2: So i get a call from the Area Manager and he shows no care to satisfy me with how the lombard reps treated me... They insulted me and my car saying what do I expect with a 10 year old car... They told me that I complained too much about the service... Well, I had all the right to be upset with how I was being treated and how my car was being handled. Take your car someplace else! You have been warned. Jim by the way is the person you need to stay away from. Alex is the other person! read more

I came here for a flat tire. I received exceptional service. The employees were very kind and gave me many detailed explanations about what they were looking at on my tire and how they planned on fixing it. The customer service was truly wonderful. They were very kind and fair and I would highly recommend this place to anyone. read more

Jim is great, by mistake they used the wrong oil during an oil change. It was more of a back up to the recommended oil. I called when realizing this, and he fixed the problem. He got me in and out within 15 min, refunded me, and gave me a free oil change for next time. I appreciate the great customer service and them owning up to and fixing the problem. read more

When the company vehicle required quickie maintenance, I was told to call Firestone (at an alternate location) and get the thing in. Well, I did; and sadly they were not accommodating whatsoever. Having rolled by this Firestone a few times I thought I would give them a try. Though busy and almost closing time, the service tech not only was helpful, but the guys stayed an extra few to get me on the road again. I appreciated not having to return; and what a difference in treatment. Though it was a simple oil change, lube, filter, tire rotation, they not only get great marks from me, but they were personable too. Nice to see that even a local spot, new or not, isn't always ruled by the clock. Thanks guys! read more

I had an appointment for a brake inspection. The technician called to inform me that I needed an entire brake job. Front and back pads, rotors and a new caliper. The cost was ridiculous... When I told them I would take the car somewhere else for a 2nd opinion they initially said ok. A few minutes later I received a call back to tell me that they misquoted me on the price for new rotors and that they would actually be $99 each vs. $165. I refused the service took the car to Packey Webb Ford and was informed that my front brakes were absolutely fine and that I possibility had another 10-15K miles of wear available. My back brakes did need to be repaired but there was no need for the caliper as Firestone had insisted. The savings of going to the dealer was over $500. I don't know if they were trying to take advantage of me because I was a woman or if they are just plain idiots who do not know what they are doing. I believe it's a combination of both. I would advise anyone to beware if soliciting service from this shop. I now understand why Firestone will never lose their reputation of bad service. They definitely will never see me again!!! read more

RIPOFF - BEWARE!! Received a $15 coupon for a full synthetic oil change. Determined that the price was fair from their price board. However, my vehicle takes an extra 2 quarts of oil per change. Price of oil change with 5 quarts of oil was $43. Extra 2 quarts of oil was charged at $23.20!!!! Then they charge for the filter, $4.99, an extra $5 for a premium oil change AND of course you have to pay a disposal fee, for which they sell the oil to a recycler! My great deal cost me, with tax - $86.49. I will never be back to them for another oil change nor repair and you should check your prices BEFORE they do any work on your car/truck! read more

Recently had my front brakes replaced on my Volkswagen at this location, under 50 miles into my new brakes I experienced grinding noises and squeaking when breaking. I returned to the store they told me I had another issue with my car. I did not believe them and I than took my car to the Volkswagen dealership to verify the issues, I was told the parts I was quoted at Firestone are fine and did not need to be replaced, I was told by Volkswagen they replaced the breaks incorrectly and would recommend I return to Firestone to have my breaks replaced, Volkswagen kindly sent me with a list of defects that would have happened on the install of the new breaks. I was told by Firestone that the breaks were installed correctly and there was nothing they would do. So if you want bad service and bad mechanics this is the place to go. Do not go here if you want to get ripped off. read more

Brought my car in for a tire rotation, an oil change, and a free brake inspection. It took almost 4 hours to get everything done! After 3 hours, I was given a call and was told that my car would be done in half an hour. I went by a half hour later, and they still had not finished the oil change. The clerk (nice guy) showed me some things that he recommended I service, which was about the only plus with this first experience here. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be coming back. Under-staffed and just really slow service. read more

Went into this newly opened store around 7:30 on a Monday night. Even though they close at 8pm, the Service Manager was very helpful in getting my battery tested and ultimately replaced. This store is brand new so it is much nicer than the old Yorktown location. I suggest checking the Firestone website for coupons. There are often good coupons but they won't volunteer them up unless you tell them. I saved $20 on my battery with an online coupon. read more

I stopped by because I needed an oil change... As I walked in, at the front counter there where two employees chatting and did not even stop to greet me. As I wandered lost looking for assistance a man came called out "Can I help you?" from the side entrance. The man had a frown and he was not helpful or friendly at all. I asked him a couple of questions about the fee and the oil they use. He was bothered by the questions as he sighed when answering, He was also RUDE and SARCASTIC. You would think they would want to have your business being that they are new and all and need it. Needless to say, I said my thank yous and left within reasonable time. *A place with bad costumer service is a negative in my book. Sorry. * Hope you have a better experience and better assistance! And like the previous post mentions if you do decide to go review the website before your visit. read more

You get the mediocre service you pay for. Staff is not as informed as car specialist dealing with an arrea of issues. I brought a battery had it replaced once and mind you it's an interstate battery with a five year warranty which is not truly honored. If able go to the auto zone or any other auto part store better help, more informative and useful . Firestone reminds you why so many locations shut down and now they are trying to return to as they say " yesterday service from the past" . ‍‍ Run read more

So i pull in to the lot and its a 1hr before there are scheduled to closed, At all garages you pull near the garage and employee driver it in ask why you are here. Mind you the place is empty only one car up on a lift not busy at all. An employee comes running to me went i get out to yell at me. Wait what. Dont i see plenty of parking. Wait a minute this a garage not walmart. I have never been yell at for pulling up i need alot of service will never go here. You guys need to respect your customers and speak to them with respect read more

The oil & filter change is overpriced, even with the so-called $10 coupon-which I think is just a way to charge regular price b/c without the so-called discount the oil & filter change on a 20 year old car would be nearly $50. read more

I thought I found my new car care provider. Initially I would have given this place 5 stars when I first started using them. I have even recommended them to friends. I started using this business for my oil changes after I started to think my previous provider was doing a poor job. Again, I was impressed - initially. I then purchased new tires for two vehicles here as well as more oil change services. So today when I called and asked if there was a wait for an oil change I got excited when the person who answered the phone (I forgot his name) quickly said no. I explained I was on the road and would be there as soon as possible, the gentlemen on the phone even insisted in making an appointment for me. Unfortunately I was 7 minutes late to the appointment the gentlemen made. My tardiness was due to traffic, I even explained to the call taker where I was at and we both agreed on a time allowing for traffic, but not enough. When I walked in it took longer than necessary to be greeted and when I was greeted by "Steve M" (not the person on the phone) this gentlemen did not even look at me when he asked "what are you here for?" I said I had an appointment and was there for an oil change and then apologized for being a couple minutes late. Steve asked if I was dropping off my vehicle. Surprised about this question because I was only there for an oil change, I asked what the wait was. Steve told it would be about two hours. I said I called and someone said there would not be that kind of wait. He said, "you should have made an appointment." I told him I did and he replied, "but you are late." As you all know at any of these kind of stores your car (almost) never goes in the back on time. If this is how I am going to be treated about seven minutes there are many other places along Roosevelt Road who will gladly change your oil in less time even being seven minutes late for an appointment. While a lot of variables can make changing your oil more difficult than other cars I have a very oil change friendly vehicle (I used to do it all the time, now that I am in a condo and do not have the place to do it I have it done for me). Especially when you are working with automated tools and a vehicle lift, 2 hours is a ridiculous amount of time to suggest for an oil change. Even if it took an hour, two hours is unacceptable estimate for an oil change on an average/typical road vehicle (Ford Explorer). This just demonstrates the professionalism of this one employee and how it can effect the whole institution. I had nothing but pleasant experiences here in the past. Normally I would have asked to speak with a manager, but this persons demeanor totally turned my opinion of this establishment. While debating if I should give them another try I am weary about this employee in particular. I do not want you to think that this is my only complaint about this whole incident. I went home and thought people have bad days, I needed this oil change to be done soon so I thought I would see if an email to corporate would help. Surprised, I received an email within minutes. Albeit asking for the same contact information I provided on their website. A few days later I was sent an email from the same gentlemen who asked for my contact information and said the managment from that store would contact me. It has been over two months. Not a single call from this store location, no followup from the corporate office. This is not how you do business with anyone. I would avoid this place at all costs till they get the right people back in that store (Hans for example, pardon any typo regarding his name). This store was run a lot better when he was here. read more

I have always had great service from this place. A few minor missteps but nothing to get worked up over.

Let me start by saying I LOATHE auto shops that take advantage of women. This is one of those places that relishes in this form of scumbaggery. My GF went in to have a squeaky noise in her brakes fixed. These turds pulled the old "in addition to new pads, you'll need new rotars, new callipers, blah blah blah - and that'll be $1,100+ dollars." We hastily retrieved the car and brought it to Charley's Auto in Villa Park and addressed the problem for UNDER $200! This place is permanently dead to us. Stay away!!! read more

An update to my post. Although this will not change what happened, Firestone has been very responsive to my complaint. The regional manager and I spoke, he assures me they have reviewed policies and procedures, identified the defects and will work on improvement of the service. That's all I can really ask for. read more

I have great service here. Car is running well. Doesn't push to have stuff done. I like it here. Left dealer and glad I did!!

Went into this Firestone because of an issue with my brake pedal, was told they couldn't do anything, nothing - no list of things to check out for the issue I had. After he, she and the old lady told me never to go back to Firestone, I actually took the advice, went to an independent auto shop, and would you know, problem identified and solved within a couple hours. I will never make the mistake of going back to this Firestone, and I advise everyone else to do the same. read more

Keeping it brief. Bought 4 Ecopia Bridgestones for my X5 2 years ago. $1000 bucks mounted and "Balanced" way overpriced WITHOUT Alignment. Had them Re-balanced 3 times. Couldn't get it right....at all. I went to my BMW dealership and they got it on the first shot. The staff is nice enough. read more

Stay away, I went here a few times to try and save a few dollars from DuPage Auto and Tire. Had them do an alignment on two of my cars, both cars have metal valve stem caps. Somehow these idiots stripped 6 of the 8 threads on them and to make sure I didn't find out they over tightened the valve caps to the point that I needed vise grips to break them free. Neither of the car's alignment is anywhere near where it should be but that is the least of my problems. If these idiots can't screw on a simple valve cap how can you trust them to perform any work on your car? Do yourself a favor and run away from these morons, I'm still struggling to get one of the valve caps off without the stem ripping apart with it. Go down the street and pay the premium, now I'm going to have to take it to Dupage Auto and Tire for all new valve stems and going to have to purchase new valve caps. Thanks, Firestone, I saved a few bucks up front but now it's going to cost me unnecessarily more money and time to correct their mistakes. read more

Went to firestone 4 months ago got a set of 4 tires and was given free rotation. Sold that car and got a diffrent car but the person had bought these tires at firestone and had been told free rotation as well. I came here to ask for my tires to be rotates and they wanted to charge me $20. Even though I had bought tires here and it was in the system these tires were not in my name for the new car. I had even brought a friend in to this place a week ago who bought 4 tires and did an alignment they still want to charge $20 for rotation. I even showed proof that discount tires does it for free with out question of where I bought my tires. Clearly firestone does not care about clients, or the loyal ones. Deffenetly not gona be one any more. Go to discount tires better service, better company, and customer loyalty. read more

I had a credit from Bridgestone towards a new tire, due to my tire with only 2100 miles blowing out. I went to this dealership and the first employee said I would have to pay fully for a new tire and Bridgestone would not pay any money towards it. I have to state that I told him I have a reference could use when contacting Bridgestone. However he never contacted Bridgestone and just said that they would not give me any money towards my new tire. I contacted Bridgestone later that same day and the rep emphasized that yes they would pay money toward a new tire. I called back the next day and spoke to a Sales Manager whose name I believe was Nick. He said he would check it out. 5 hours later I called again. Nick stated he did not have a chance to call yet, but then transferred me to the store manager, whose name I believe was given as Jim. I explained the situation to him. He questioned me a lot as to why and how Bridgestone would do so. I told him I called and gave him the reference number. He said he would check with them and call me back. Days later he I still had not heard from him. At this point, I presume they do not want to sell me a tire and install. I don't know why. I have to give 1 star to any retailer that refuses to make a phone call that will allow them to make a $150 sale. Makes no sense to me. What does make sense is to avoid this tire retailer location. I will only go to other Firestone retailers for my business. read more

First, if we make an appointment for a specific time, days in advance, I expect getting new tires to take LESS THAN 5 HOURS. Second, I do NOT expect to have new electrical problems when they are only changing out the tires - how is it that my remote start is no longer remote-starting when they are done?? I don't care how inexpensive the tires seem - the additional headaches and time required made these the most expensive tires ever put on one of my cars. Two stars instead of zero because I do like the tires. read more
