Explained the difference between the tires since I was going to be doing alot of driving out of town. They were efficient and my car was done immediately. My car drove more smoothly after. Thanks O'Briens

We worked with Errick. He did a great job inspecting our RV tires and made the recommendations I had expected. His team got us taken care of quickly and professionally. The office waiting area has complimentary drinks and fairly comfy chairs.

5-Star Review by Keith May

Kudos to Eric!! I took some expensive tires & wheels there to have mounted & balanced. I was concerned they would get scratched in the mounting process. Eric assured me they would take care of my concerns. He did just that. He went the extra mile making sure I was comfortable. He unloaded and loaded everything. This guy is the Best! Its hard to find this kind of service anymore. Very professional! Eric, Thanks again!!

5-Star Review by Bryttany Nelson

I recently went to O'Brien Tire and Auto Care to have my tires replaced, and the customer service was outstanding. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and they let me know about a rebate I hadn’t known about, which saved me some money. The lobby has a Route 66 theme with a retro feel, and they provide snacks and beverages, which made waiting more comfortable. I’d definitely recommend O'Brien Tire for anyone needing any auto repair work.

5-Star Review by Manish Poudel

I was completely fed up with the larger auto care shops, so after learning about Obriens, I started taking my car there. Justin and his team are fantastic to work with, much better than the big franchises. I’ll continue using their services as long as my car needs work in the St. Louis area. They’re honest, and if they make a mistake, they own up to it—unlike those unpleasant large shops.

wheel alignement | O'Brien Tire & Auto Care
September 19, 2023
Over the course of the thousands of miles that your vehicle will travel, your car’s wheel alignment will be put to the test by all the different road conditions from smooth highways to that little dirt road on the way to the cottage, not to mention the potholes, curbs, and other anomalies you drive over every day. It’s normal that the original wheel alignment may change over time. Even though drivers don’t notice this change, the tires will eventually wear unevenly, the vehicle will tend to drift to one side, and you may even hear a strange noise coming from one of the wheels when the vehicle hits a bump or pothole. During an inspection, a certified technician will be able to detect the problem – a loose tie rod, a damaged ball joint, a bent suspension arm, a brok ... read more
