Seredni Tire & Auto Center began as a small, family-owned business in 1981 and it's remained true to those roots ever since. Despite expanding to three full-service repair shops staffed with ASE-certified mechanics, a separate member of the Seredni family continues to own and operate each location. The teams can find and install the perfect tires for anything from a coupe to a commercial truck, pulling from a library-worthy selection of brand-name tires that includes sets by Bridgestone, Michelin, Goodyear, and more. Additionally, the technicians can keep automobiles running in peak condition by performing basic tuneups as well as full-service repairs, such as oil changes, computerized engine analyses, and transmission maintenance.

Since its founding in 1978, the international quick-lube franchise Grease Monkey has maintained its focus on speedy treatments and a detail-oriented approach to auto care. Shop technicians tune up rides with services such as air-conditioning repair, air-filter replacement, and fuel- and emissions-system cleaning. Grease Monkey's signature service, though, is its full-service oil change. After replacing a vehicle's lubricant with GF-5 or re-refined motor oil, technicians perform an entire review of its maintenance needs, referencing the owner's manual and the wise hermit living in the trunk.
