Auto Service in Tinley Park

Almost a century ago, it was 1914 and William J. Cassidy was gazing out from his livery stable to watch the newfangled automobiles rumble past on Roosevelt Road. He knew then that he’d been right to expand from shoeing horses to also servicing tires. Never having children, Will took his 16-year-old nephew, Hugh, under his wing in the venture. When Will retired, Hugh took over and kept the company afloat even during the bleakest days of the Depression and WWII. Hugh’s six sons all followed in the family footsteps, opening additional locations in the suburbs, and then their children opened even more.

Today, those descendants operate 15 Cassidy Tire & Service locations throughout the city and suburbs. The Cassidy experts keep vehicles running smoothly as they grow old by practicing a full range of other auto services, from rotating tires to changing oil and flushing transmissions.

Delta Sonic Car Wash‎ renews tarnished transportation with an innovative touchless car-wash system that automatically guides vehicles through a tunnel of high-pressure sprays and overhead buffing cloths. The hands-free wash massages mild lotions into paint jobs, leaving vehicles with sparkling, fingerprint-free finishes that are backed by a five-day guarantee. Detailing technicians do get their hands dirty as they make use of more than 100 hours of training to dote on vehicle interiors and exteriors with products from ValuGard, Aquapel, and Blue Coral. The team wields AOCA certification know-how when injecting engines with oil and devising rustproofing treatments that avoid drilling holes or covering corrosion in zit cream.

Starting out in 1981 as a humble gas station and tire center, Scott’s U-Save remains a family-owned operation but has grown into a full emporium of auto repair. Its 15 overhead lifts ensure speedy delivery of lube, brake, and suspension services, and its repeated inclusion on Southtown Star's Best of Chicago Southland list belies the staff's attention to detail. Scott’s boasts tires from all major manufacturers, including Michelin and Continental, and technicians outfit wheels on cars, trucks, and rickshaws of any size or shape with a selection of stylish rims to match.

Park Hills Car Wash offers quick wash packages, in-depth details, and mechanical services that keep automobiles looking and performing their best. Cars that find themselves the victims of an over-size mud puddle or an over-affectionate oil tanker can shake off the grime with triple-foam polish, wax-poly sealant, and rust inhibitor during a 15-minute wash. Detailers move at a focused pace as they steam clean carpets, hand wax the finish, and narrow in on even the smallest vent, panel, and gauge with dust-busting air blasters. In the lube center, technicians perform full-service oil changes for most makes and models and can also service radiators, transmissions, and tires.

Ready your ride for the pending holiday road trips and holiday demolition derbies with today’s side deal: $30 gets you a synthetic oil change at Midwest Performance Cars (a $75 value). This deal includes five quarts of synthetic oil (you pay the difference for more than five quarts). Midwest Performance most often uses Elf 5w40, a fully synthetic racing-grade motor oil, but the friendly oil gurus are happy to oblige if customers have a preferred brand.

Colorado’s cluster of Midas Auto Service Experts shops have operated under the same local ownership for 30 years.

The community-oriented Colorado service stations also support local philanthropic organizations including the YMCA and the grassroots road-safety campaign, Drive Smart.
