REVIEWS OF Lucas Tire & Autocare IN Illinois

david emery

If you plan to have your car serviced here, I would recommend bringing a lawyer. These guys love the bait and switch trick. The owner Rich is a real piece of work. When you drop the car off they will give you a "deal" price, however once you come to pick up the car price has skyrocketed! I went in for an oil change and new tires. After reviewing my dash cam the hood was never even opened!!! I have directional tires that were installed backwards. If you cant change oil or install tires ( the 2 most basic things) you shouldn't be running a mechanic shop!

Anna Thomsen

Came in with a flat tire and received immediate service. My options to fix it were explained to me so I could make the best choice. Workers were friendly and got the work done the same day.

Steven Mundee

I've been going to Lucas Tire for years. Always fast and friendly. Thanks guys.

Steve Hovey

Really great staff and very friendly. They helped me use a Michelin warranty and replace my tires at a discount. Thanks again.

Cindy Mindy Loves

These are the places we should support. I've know this place for over 20 years and they have around longer. Great service and great employees. Allen is the nicest!

desmond moore

Went in for breaks. They gave me a fair price and I was out the door in less than an hour.

Brian Reid

Great place. They treat you like family! Very honest and reputable repair shop! :)

David

Great service! I needed to be towed and they made it happen in a few hours. Had my car ready in quickly!

Hugo Gamino

I've been here more then once and every time they have been friendly and helpful. I'd always go out of my way to get my car fixed here. Highly recommend Lucas!!

Basith Asim

If you are looking for a place with professionals and experience and willing to pay bit more for value and quality of service, this place is the right one to go. Ask for Alan, he is the Man.

Ryan O'Donnell

I called in and was told a new tire would be one price over the phone, but when I went in they said it was twice as much.

Chanterial Eiland

Place is very expensive for repairs. I was charged almost $400 for just a thermostat and flushing maybe because I'm a woman.

Marc Bouchard

I had specific requests and organizing requirements for installation and rotation of wheels and tires. They paid attention to details and were quick and attentive. Very satisfied with this service.

Mariann Lynn

GOT 2 tires HERE THE service WAS GREAT,THE YOUNG MEN WHO serviced ME WERE NICE.

Jhon Sta

Please don't use this guys, this guys are crooks. I brought my car which had less air in one of the tire, instead of putting air like I asked, the guy removes my tire and takes a side. Comes back after few minutes and shows me a small nail in my tire. Tells me that I need new tire because it's on the side wall, since I don't no much about tires I tell him ok please replace my tire which was 160 for one tire, he then tells me they will need to replace both tires and I said why the other tire is fine, he tells me it's a safety issue. A light bulb went in my head and I decided to call my cousin, he tells me tell them to put back the tires and put air and just take the car home. So I asked this guys to do that and they seem unhappy about it, but they finally did it and charged me 20 dollars as a service charge. Now my cousin takes my car to another shop and this guys found the nail and said nail was in the middle of the tires so they charge me 10 bucks to fix the tire. This happens month back and my tires is completely fine after 10 bucks fix. I also feel that this guys are the one who put nail in my tire to began with, So please save money and time and go somewhere else.

Tom Krol

The staff seems a little disfunctional with a good attitude. That's why I came to this place for a while. I broke my stem valve on my tire and instead of replacing the stem they told I had to replace the whole TPM sensor. They tried to charge me $300 in parts for something that should have been $20 at the most. Then when I asked for my sensor back they said they threw it out. So I had get a new sensor from tire rack for $45 and not $300. I don't trust these people and neither should you.

nicole scott

Came here 5 minutes before they closed with a extremely flat tire called to let them know I'll be there as soon as I could and they stayed open for me I don't know to many places willing to do that.. for someone who works in customer service I absolutely loved there service I was treated so good the price wasn't bad and they finished 30 minutes or less if I could give this place 10 stars I would thank you guys so much

Lyn LiCalsi

I heard a grinding in my car.. within 5 minutes they had an answer and within an hour it was fixed at a very reasonable price.. this is the 3rd time I've had a problem with my car and they've been fair and honest and prompt... would definitely recommend them..

Kevin Snyder

Friendly and helpful service. Couldn't recommend them highly enough!

Anas Alrefaee

Those people are THIEVES! I don't write any reviews usually put those people robbed me in front of my eyes! I went there with some vibrations in my car at > 60 MPH speeds. They showed me my front whiles and told me that they need to be replaced just because there's minor dents in them, also They said that O need to replace two of my tires. When I said that I can't offered the price they gave to get that done, the lady at the front desk offered to charge me just $50 the get the wheels straightened instead of replaced but she said that I must buy at least one tire claiming that she was worried about my safety and that she wasn't trying to scare me to take my money but my wheels must be straightened. She said that the cheapest tire she has is $90 so she charged me $140. They don't let customers usually see what they are doing with the car but I ignored the sign and went to see what they were doing and I was surprised to see that they just switched my front tires to the back without fixing any dents and when I asked the mechanic who was working on my car if he was gonna straighten the tires he said that they can't do that here because they don't have the machine which does that. When I told him that the lady just charged me $50 for that he was speechless and didn't know what to say. I went straight to the mangers office who's apparently the father of that lady and O told him about what happened. He agreed to give me $30 back but when I got my car back it had a big scratch on the driver's door.

john hart

worst place to bring your car, people beware,hidden fee's work never done right and your charged for it.no certified mech.working on your car.any work done by lucas had to be redone by another shop.lost big $ no warranty on any parts or labor.unskilled mech.lights on the dash always on.work never completed.LAIR.

Alison Von Glinow

Great and friendly service. Helped fix a tire repair two other stores weren’t able to figure out. Will come back again.

Mauricio Roa Tamayo

Highly recommend! Nice and profesional staff, good prices. I was looking for changing my brakes and they were the only one shop that offered me a good deal.

Emma Bottari

Extremely honest family run business the only place I’ll take my car

Robyn Nichols

New to the Lincoln Square area and needed a trusted mechanic. So happy I found Lucas Tire! Rich and Bridget were great! Did a thorough inspection of my car and only recommended the parts and labor I needed. Honest, old school service. Hard to find these days. I will definitely be going back.

Mike Bartecki

I've been coming to Lucas Tire & Auto for almost the entire 10 years I've lived in the area. They've always taken the time to describe whatever problem is going on with my car and lay out the options I have to take care of it as well as offering great deals on pricing.

L.V. Venkateswaran

Did not receive the appropriate service regarding my car tire.

alex przy

Great service! Best alignment job I've ever gotten, quick and right on the first time unlike many chains. Owner makes sure to give you a good experience, service prices are very competitive and they give you tons of coupons.

Joe Perez

They gave me a $20 discount in exchange for posting a five star review.

Beth Sackett

My tire pressure light kept coming on, I assumed it was a slow leak. I was able to walk-in without calling to make an appointment first. Staff were very nice and efficient. They patched it right up for a small fee and rotated my tires for free! Quick and easy service.

Mike Massong

Too expensive, shady pricing (This is an edited response) I originally put 5 Stars; my wife and I have been coming here since 2012, and have always been treated fairly. But up until today, as I’m writing this, Lucas wasn’t just about fairness, it was about affordability. I came here to get some work done on my car, because they have always been competitive with their prices. But the last few months of us coming here, they have actually been more expensive than other quotes from other auto repair shops. We came in and rich, the manager, offered me a deal on tires. He gave me the absolute steal of 430 out the door, when the price of everything was about 440. I’m sorry, but that isn’t much of a deal to me. In addition, they couldn’t find where the air filter was on my car, so they couldn’t replace it. They told me to go to the dealer. They said because we can’t find it, and it’s our fault, we’re taking 20 bucks off your out the door price... The regular price of an air filter here is 30 bucks. So I’m paying THEM ten bucks for an air filter I didn’t get in the first place! Then when I tried to pay with their coupon book, I was told it wasn’t valid because of the deal they had already gave me. That’s disappointing. I would recommend anyone to go anywhere else for their work. It was 410 altogether for tires and wiper blades. No thanks.

Thomas Wamberg

They will take you for a ride and I mean your wallet. You better walk in there knowing everything about cars because they are predatory on naive people.

ricky dhingra

Great service, great people! Al was great and straight to the point! My go to for anything tire related!!

Tony DelGallo

Came in for a quote for replacing all my tires on my used car. Al helped me out as soon as I walked in, and showed me options of different levels of investment and quality. Lucas also provides a solid "everything included" in the price, which is much better than "this tire is X each type of approach -only to find it will cost you more for what you need. Will keep coming back for more services!

Keri Gomez

I have been thinking about it for months if I wanted to write this review and I finally decided nobody else should have to deal with the experience I did. I came here a few months ago to have tires put on my car after I had an entire 3 hours fiasco trying to get the tires I had ordered online put on at Walmart. I was instantly put at ease by the manager, Darius, he was super friendly, and I felt good about using this place. I asked him for my quote, as I had a price range, due to that’s the amount I had. He gave me a quote which was in my budget, and I left as I had to go to work and I would pick up the car later and agreed to pay over the phone since I would be off after their business hours. The owner then calls me a few hours later telling me it’s time to pay, and tells me a completely different amount, I told him the quote I had been given and tried to find out why it would be more than i had been quoted and he got irate with me, told me this was the cost and that’s that, and if I didn’t like it he could take the tires back off and leave my car, then hangs up on me. The manager then directly calls me back after, and apologies saying the owner had added something to the quote that I didn’t do. I paid the amount that I was originally quoted and I later came to pick up the car. What started out as a great experience ended up being a nightmare. Dude should just let his staff run his business bc he has no people skills.

Rickie Sanpreet Kaur

I am THRILLED to have found these guys! I had a tire problem and needed an oil change and it was done quickly, honestly and inexpensively. Brandon was my service guy and he replaced my valve stem without a lot of BS, charged me for a tire repair. I highly recommend Lucas Tire & Auto. Thanks Al, for being an honest shop owner!!!

Timothy Wozniak

Fantastic service and great people. Honest and straightforward with very competitive rates! Car has never been better!

Freddy Madrigal

Great competitive prices on tires, Janice was great too. If your looking for GOOD TIRES & PRICES, look no further.

Dana Bender

We had a slow leaking tire and needed a valve replaced. Derick was great. He fixed it last minute while we waited before leaving for a road trip. Everyone at Lucas tires treats us with respect and consideration. They are dependable, efficient, and very reasonable. They kept our old car going forever and are taking great care of our new car as well. Thank you guys (and Gidget)!!

Alex Thëil

Easily the best place in the area. Fair and experienced, certainly not crooks. They revived my car after a major problem, now it's bulletproof.

Reece Oster

After finding myself with a flat tire on a Sunday the rude staff told me that they could take a look at my tire for no charge to see if anything could be done. I told them I would wait and so they stamped my info with a large WAIT stamp. About 45 minutes later I asked to see how everything was going and was told my two new tires were almost on. Hold on... I only asked you to check to see if my one tire could be patched. They proceeded to tell me that they called a random number and the person said to go ahead and put two new rear tires on. To make things worse they went on to say that I had to pay for the labor even though I never even authorized any work to be done. Save yourself a headache and go somewhere else for your car repairs.

Ruben Diaz

awesome place to take your car and get fix Alan is excellent guy to his customer and also great price and excellent work I trust them whit my car and trust hard to fine I recommend.

Eric Pearson

Great team and best prices in town. They ordered aftermarket wheels and tires for me. They had better prices than anyone I could find online and got it faster than anyone else too. Support this Chicago local business.

taternuts kelso

Quick and easy. Had a bad tire and got it fixed in no time. Would recommend

Jack Carmichael

I ordered tires from Tire Rack, selected Lucas Tire to install them and they did a great job. They were very fast - the tires were ready to install the day after I ordered them online and I brought my car to the shop and had them installed later that day. All for a very fair price.

Kendra Mosley

Great fast service. Bridget was knowledgeable and even kept my two busybody kids entertained while we waited. I'll be back for all of my services.

Anthony Oquendo

I was looking to buy tires for my car. I came here because my wife recommended it. Upon walking in I met Johnny at the front desk. He was very polite and very professional. Then I met Darius he was very honest with me which I truly appreciate. The whole staff here is great. They make you feel comfortable.no pressure. The price I got was great. Overall I think this place is amazing.

Jeremy Peters

Worst shop in Chicago. DO NOT GO THERE FOR ANYTHING BUT CHEAP TIRES OR YOU WILL REGRET IT FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TIME YOU OWN YOUR CAR. I had a clutch replaced on my truck for $1,200 that never worked properly again. The day I picked it up, they claimed the reason it didn't feel right was that the manual transmission went bad. A manual transmission never goes bad. I took it to the Toyota Dealership and they charged me $2,400 to repair the damage done by Lucas. They are fraudulent thieves, a total chop shop, which you can tell by the extremely high turnover among technicians and front desk staff. Buyer beware.

Jeff Smiejek

Lucas Tire has always provided me with an honest and accurate assessment of tire repairs that my car has needed. They have provided the service in a timely manner and they have always taken care of me. It is important to me with to work with a auto repair company that I can trust.

Donny Momchilov

Great service, very helpful and upfront on all service costs, have been coming here for years and will keep coming

Erin Kelly

I became aware of this place through my barter group. I love the family atmosphere. Since I too am a business owner and have very limited time to get things done, they always go above and beyond to fit me in when I need to have my car fixed. They are very honest and do great work.

Scott Pipal

After being in urgent need of a tire on Easter weekend, I ended up at Lucas Tire. The staff was very understanding and helpful and ordered the tire I needed overnight. The next day they gave me a call first thing I the morning to let me know they were ready to work on my truck. The overall experience was quick, easy and painless and the price was unbeatable. I highly recommend Lucas Tires & Autocare.

James Greskovich

Have worked with Lucas Tire & Auto twice now and had a great experience both times. They were able to help get me new tires ordered and changed out within the same day. Alan is great to work with, very friendly and helpful.

John Lanphear

I've lived in Chicago for 2 years and this was the first place I actually trusted to work on my car. Very friendly staff and reasonable pricing!! Thank you so much!

Doug Brewer

These guys are reliable and won't hit you up for non- needed stuff.

Ellen Letten

I love that there are always 2 women at the front desk when I go in. I'm not treated like an idiot don't because I don't know much about cars. Jeannie always teaches me what to do to keep my car running well.

Sean Williams

Brought car in for flat tire. They called the company and figured out that I had an extended warranty (that I had forgotten about) and they were able to fix multiple other things because of the warranty as well as replace the tire. Very quick and easy to work with!

Mark Wiley

Fast, efficient, and friendly service. Made seemingly honest recommendations for my car's improvement. I had one of those Groupon punchcards for an oil change, because it saves a lot of money. I took my car to Lucas, and they did a great job getting me in and out quickly, which was what I was looking for.

Julie Weber

Came in with a flat tire- they really took care of things- and us! They brought out a handful of paper towel rolls and a tire so my kiddos could go 'bowling' while we waited! So nice! Excellent service- we'll be coming back here to have all our work done!

Oscar Rodriguez

Great service

Rosalind M

Great People, Great Price, and the Fastest Service Ever!

Kevin McNulty

I came into this auto and body shop on the last Saturday in February to get work done on my car and a flat tire replaced. 12 days later the same tire that they supposedly replaced with a brand new tire, was flat again. I came back in, they first said they had no record of me being here. Then they told me the tire that was put on they do not sell. Then they remembered they used to sell the tire, but stopped and this was probably the last from that batch of tires. Probably wasn't a new tire! They would not give me a new tire at no cost and charged me to replace the tire, which again is supposedly 12 days old, has no nails in it, and had only been driven on for 20 miles. NEVER COME TO THIS PLACE, THEY WILL TRY AND CHEAT YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zoey's Family

Appreciate services and fast, safety check on my tires. Thank u& God bless

Molly Reinle

Lucas has always been a great place to take our car. Fast, efficient and they quote on the spot with no added fees. After your appointment, they always follow up to make sure everything is still working nicely. I highly recommended to anyone living close to use Lucas.

Dale Giolas

I called on a Saturday morning and they got me in right away. They explained what was wrong with the car and what they were going to do to fix it. Everyone was extremely polite and helpful. They phoned me several times to give me progress reports. The car was fixed within 6 hours. If you need a car repaired, look no further comedies are the people.

Reba Demasi

Fast service with a knowledgable staff. They always try to work with me and help me with any other car related issues. The price is always fair and i trust them with my car. Thanks!

Derek Johnson

Got me out of a quick pinch. Got my car in at 6.15pm and had two tires replaced by 7 that night so I wouldn't miss work the next day. Owner was very nice and was a lot better deal that costco quoted me over the phone. Will definitely be back.

Grace Garcia

Great and Quick Service!

Matt Rochford

I buy all my tires here, great service and fast turn around!

John Bosca

We ordered a tire online and Lucas Tire installed the tire, same day it was delivered. Great staff.... Great service.... Great value.... what more can you ask for!

fabian chagolla

Great experience even before I came in. Work well work fast. First time here but definately will be returning for future work on my vehicle. Thank you AL for great and professional customer service.

Dan L

DONT GET SERVICE HERE, IT'S GARBAGE!!! Went for a wheel alignment on 5/18/17 they told me it would be $40 if they couldn't do the alignment (which is already stupid) and $89 for an alignment. They asked me why I thought I needed an alignment and after stating my reasons they said okay. I asked an estimated wait time to get the alignment finished and they said an hour. So I waited, after an hour a employee approached me and I thought my car was ready, they told me they couldn't do it so I waited an hour for no reason. They gave me stupid reasons on why they couldn't that could have been checked in about 10 minutes but they decided to take an hour after having no customers/cars waiting. At this point I was already Irritated and waited an extra 15 minutes standing in the front desk waiting for the lady to check me out. After waiting an exesive time she tried to charge me $116. I told her that was the wrong price and she gave me attitude (Showing she can't do her job right, it's one price or the other). While I was there I also overheard the wait time to get ONE tire changed because it had a nail in it was 1 hour. Ridiculous.

Ricky James

Great customer service! the staff was knowledgeable and helpful. The service was quick and of high quality. I felt like I was an old friend.

Swapnil Sourabh

I had a flat tire and needed a new tire immediately as a result. Lucas Tire & Auto Care not only had the tire I was looking for, but also installed it the same day. The price they quoted was better than the other stores I had checked. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was an easy experience getting the tire installed, with waiting time less than an hour.

Jenny Hutzenlaub

Great service! Financing is available if your in a pickle. The best customer service from Darius and Allen!

Kyle Raum

Got a very good deal on new tires and installation. Al worked around my schedule and didn't try to strong arm me into any additional charges I didn't want to make, tried to make it as affordable as possible for me. Very easy and very fast service.

Sarah McEneaney

Unexpected puncture and these guys were so helpful and quick, even on a Sunday. Terrific service and advice from Alan and Brandon. And very funny too — always helps in a situation like this!

Ross Cochran

Good people who took care of my flat tire when I needed it.

David Joseph

Pretty good buys on the tires

Judi Weiss

Very thorough and pleasant demener.

Candace Glisson

We have had various types of repairs and maintenance and warranty work done at Lucas. Every time we are taken care of, all the work is explained and I feel like they give me good options at a very fair price. Rich even personally worked on finding me the best extended warranty for my car. You are in good hands here.

William Payne

Very friendly and helpful people they gave me a good deal I would recommend this place to my family and friends

Julie Bednark

DISHONEST with TERRIBLE service. I went there to get a flat tire fixed - after waiting hours, they finally called to tell me the tire was unfixable, and in addition, all 4 of my tires were "in pretty bad condition and should probably be replaced." They then proceeded to tell me I needed a new timing belt, which is when I knew they were total liars, because my friend who is a mechanic just replaced the timing belt 2 weeks before. Not wanting to do any business with them after this giant lie, I simply asked they put on the spare tire from inside my trunk. When I arrived to pick up my car, they charged me $20 for putting on the spare on and cautioned that I should come back soon because it was only good for about 100 miles. I nodded, relieved to just get my keys back and drove home. When I got home and got out my vehicle I realized they hadn't even put the spare tire on!!! They just filled up the flat tire with a little air, doing NOTHING to fix the nail holes in it. I took it Hernandez Auto Repair the next day where they fixed the tire for $15. Learned my lesson. NEVER AGAIN. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!!!

John Formella

Service is great and the staff is amazing

Aaron Taub

Loved this place at first. My original rating was 5 stars (which is what they responded to). They seemed thorough, professional, and capable. But the more I went back the more I started realizing that they were always finding something "wrong" so that they could sell me something. For example: on my first visit I went in for a tire patch. They told me the tire couldn't be fixed. OK, that's fine. They also told me that another tire needed to be replaced, and that my battery was corroded and needed to be replaced. I had them go ahead with all of it. When I returned for an oil change 3 months later they told me that my battery was corroded and needed to be replaced...when I told them that they'd replaced it only a few months prior they awkwardly said OK and "generously" offered to clean it up for free. I returned two more times and every time something like this happened. On my final visit they told me that someone had put an oil product in my engine that had done something harmful (though, to be honest, they never actually said what the problem was. They just said they found it in my engine and that it was a problem). I don't do work on my car because I have minimal automotive capability. They were the only ones to touch my car over the entire previous year. So if anyone put something bad in my engine it was THEM. I told them that and they basically said "oh" and walked away. The work they do is good, and if it's your only option it's not a bad one. But be careful when they suggest extra work be done. They may be doing necessary work, or they may be trying to squeeze some extra cash out of you. I do not recommend being a return customer.

Logan Bierman

After years of going to other service shops and constantly feeling like I was getting ripped off and swindled I have finally found a proper service shop that knows how to treat customers. They are by far the best service shop I have been too. After a year of services on two cars I could not be happier. Allen in the front office is knowledgeable and friendly. He takes time to try and diagnose the problem and tell you exactly what he expects to be the issue and what he thinks will need to be done before quoting an expected price. I have never brought my car for a simple oil change and been told that the car suddenly has a myriad of problems that must be addressed immediately. They are always clear about what service must be done, should be done, or can wait a while. Their prices have always been fair and equal or lower than other shops quotes. I was given a great deal on 4 all-terrain tires that beat all competitors pricing both in town and online. I doubt I will ever go to any other service shop.

April

RUN, DON'T WALK, FAR AWAY!!!! They have some CRAZY SCAMS going on! The first time I went for two tires a few months ago I didn't even realize they were WAY upcharging me on tires. There were two women working the front desk. As sexiest as it sounds, I think this lured me in to believing I wasn't getting a raw deal. I went back recently to get two new tires. I told them I was moving out of state and they said I needed a new cabin air filter for $25. It was $30, plus $30 for labor. When I got home and checked my records, I realized I had just gotten this done 6 months ago. An online check revealed a new one is needed 10,000-15,000 miles. Our car has gone 1,200 since it was changed. Very disappointing. We actually need a full oil change and was thinking about getting maintenance done before moving. I hope they are rolling in their $60 extra bucks they got from me, because they won't be getting the new hundred for those services. UPDATE UPDATE: literally three days after writing this I went to another place to get the maintenance I mentioned above. They said the filer had definitely NOT been changed at Lucas a week prior, and was likely about 6 months old. (Some quick calling confirmed the filter brand was the same as the old place and NOT the brand Lucas used.) Not only did they sell me something that I was not even CLOSE to needing but they DID NOT ACTUALLY DO THE SERVICE THEY CHARGED ME FOR! I went in to Lucas today for a refund. I called a few days ago. Jeanine who "helped" me previously saw me coming and quickly left. Another guy gave me a refund but kept insisting I was not scammed. He was not at all shocked, nor did he argue when I said I was sold it when I didn't need it nor did they actually DO THE SERVICE. Also - a quick search online showed they charged me $129 for tires that typically cost $89. Way dishonest, confirmed by other reviews.

kyle mofo

Brought my car back over here because of a flat and this guy tried to rip me off by charging me a hundred bucks for a tire I paid $59 for. Spoke with the manager which gave me a similar tire for the same price. Mechanics here are just con-artists that try and gouge people that don't speak up. (Also he was rude)

Jay Vincent

These guys are great. I find that their pricing is competitive with online retailers and they are easy to deal with. Always an easy customer experience.

ADarlynn Velez

ON 6/23/18,I WENT TO LUCAS TIRE&AUTO CARE.I WENT TO SEE ABOUT AN ALIGNMENT. THE TECH CAME BACK TOLD ME I HAD SOME NUTS LOOSE AND SOME OTHER ISSUES.I ASK THE GUY IF THEY COULDTIGHTEN WHATEVER NUTS WERE LOOSE.THIS BUSINESS WANTED TO CHARGE ME 70.00 DOLLARS JUST TO TIGHTEN TWO LOOSE NUTS.I WAS SENT OUT WITH NO SAFETY CONCERNS FOR ME AND MY PASSENGER.THIS BUSINESS IS A RIP OFF AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO DO ANY . BUSINESS

Karen Loevy Horowitz

They are super helpful and know their stuff. Also reasonably priced.

kristiebloodworth .

They advertise alignments but they do it by a level with no computer and just "eye ball" the whole thing. There are a bunch of training and certification on the wall, but none of those people work there, nor have they worked there in a very long time. He false advertises and it's been seen by another where they purposely do things to your vehicle where you'll need to come back in the near future to get it fixed again. I've seen photos of a lot of it. They've even put wrong oil or regular oil in people's cars when they've even paid for full synthetic. It's sad. Please be careful with your vehicles.

Kimberly McGruder

I always come in or call when I have problem with my car. I love that you guys send offers in the mail. Thanks for all you do! You are the best.

Glenn Charvat

My wife,daughter and I have been going to Lucas tire since the 1980's Their service and honesty have been impeccable! Rich's two daughters are extremely knowledgeable and a comfort to female customers who generally may feel intimidated by mechanics.There is no other family business I would recommend more highly!

Jacob Underhill

Everything went fine, will comeback. I was Happy with the service and shall return if nothing goes wrong. Great staff that made me understands what was needed and explained well.

timothy mcdunnin

Give me great price on a set of tires can I put on fast

Rivkah Bryk

I found a huge nail in my tire, while on vacation. They quickly patched it up and got me back on the road.

Stopped by due to a low tire and was serviced right away. Staff was knowledgable and fair. I decided on a tire repair, and was offered a deal on a new tire in the case that the repair didn't take. Great experience - I would come again.

OP

Lucas tires has taken care of me twice. They handled everything un 45 minutes. Alll is great! They even offered me pizza! The price was fantastic. They did everything and i felt like i got a great deal. Bridgette came over and explained everything to me...as im the guy who can barely pay gas! I hiy recommend going. They evwn looked at my whoke car to tell me what i needes in the future!! Love them

Marilyn Ellison

I felt great trusting my car and money in the hands of Lucus tire. Janine was so helpful! I always expect to overpay and over wait for basic maintenance but my first time in I was happily surprised to have an extremely reasonable rate and I was in and out in 40 minutes for what would have taken my dealership a full day. Highly recommended!

Robert Schulien

I took my car in for new tires today and Rich and his staff were very attentive and courteous and especially Sandy. I've known them for over thirty years and they have always taken me.

Kyle Petty

I came in thinking my tires needed to replaced and the great staff at Lucas discovered that this was not the cause of my tires losing air. They described the problem clearly and outlined a solution. I would recommend them.

Came in because I was given two quotes for two different tire brands. Told them to put the good brand. When it was time to pay, I was charged in the middle so I thought I had gotten a discount for the good tires. Left the place thinking everything was okay but my tire lights came on on my dashboard. Went to check the tires and noticed I was given the cheap set but was charged more for them... Then when I took the air pressure of the tires, I noticed that they had over inflated the back tires and under inflated the front. Max psi on those tires are rated 50 psi, they put 52 on the back tires.. then they put 23 psi in the front... Way under inflated.. enough for lights to come on in my car. I had to take air out of the back tires and put air in on the front tires so I don't destroy this set of overpriced cheap tires. Not sure if the people there know what that are doing

Eric Mihal

Got to work with a nail in the sidewall of my rear tire. Live in IN so wasn’t sure where to go for a new tire. Found Lucas since they were close to my work. Could not be happier. Had the tires I needed and got me in and back on the road quickly. Guys in the shop were great. Price and service are top notch.

Josh Johnston

Al treated us great! Joked with us, told us the pricing to fix our flat up front. Came in without an appointment and saw us right away. Got free Starbucks for writing a review too!

Ronit Dhonde

These guys provided a terrible service, charged me for fixing my alignment but didn't really do the job. Very bad service and not worth at all.

Matt Kepes

Manager is extremely unprofessional. Called in to inquire about a former employee of theirs. He was very short on phone--provided no information, and ended the call by hanging up on me in the middle of a question.

Susana Mata

Excellent service, fast and excellent price!!

ACE MUFFLER

Awesome place for tires and repairs. See Mr. Lucas

john garrahy

Whenever I have problems with my car I come here and they always do a good job.

sakina jones

Great and fast service. Explained what was wrong and let me know everything. Thank you!

Jeff Blanchard

Called on a Saturday and got some good advice about my tire situation. Came in later that day and was taken care of the same hour. Took care of a handful of small things at once (replace two tires, rotation, balancing, repair a valve) and got out the door for a very reasonable price. All in all a great experience.

Shytown 684 Feliciano

I called this place to buy a set of tires, said good afternoon to whomever answered the phone, the person was so rude that couldn't even find it in him to say good afternoon back so I say to myself why would I give them any business if they're that rude on the phone, I can imagine how I would get treated in the store I rather make my own tires, sad how businesses treat folks these days

Laura Carter

My husband and I have both taken our cars to Lucas Tire a few times. They have always been easy to work with and can usually fit us in the same day. Their prices are very competitive and their rewards program is nice! We plan to continue using Lucas Tire for any of our car repair needs.

Paul Matwyshyn

Came in for a warranty tire replacement. After dealing with lucas and michelin I spent 2 days on the phone trying to correct information between the two of them. In the end I was told michelin would cover 72 percent of the tire cost and the tire cost $220 per tire when the MSRP was $192. When I asked why I was being charged over the MSRP cost I was told that they will not deal with me anymore and he hung up on me. This was odd since the sign in the window says they beat Costco pricing (which was $130 per tire). I should have read the other reviews before wasting my time here.

Suzie Petrov

Great service and can’t beat the prices . Highly recommend this place . I’m always happy dealing with them . Thanks guys .

Matt Baer

Friendly and bought a series of nice tires .

Greg Buford

Quick service, reasonable prices, and very courteous

Julissa E

Been coming here forever- always has the best prices and awesome service! I love this place and it ALWAYS beats the competition.

Andrew Weisberg

Just got two new tires at Lucas. Had the pleasure of working with Allen. He's a nice and honest guy. They could have sold me on replacing all 4 tires. Instead they told me to just go with the rear tires that were worn. They worked quickly and were very friendly. Price seemed fair as well. I would recommend the place.

Patrick Motherway

I worked with Allan this time, and as always they went out of their way to make sure that my car was taken care of properly. Friendly, knowledgeable, and I always leave feeling confident in the quality of work. I hung out in the waiting area, and was able to get work done while they took care of the rest. After being taken advantage of by other auto shops I will not take my car anywhere else.

Jessica Olson

They keep patching up tires and they have done several of my regular maintenance items. They are no nonsence and are honest about what needs to happen and why.

Eddy A Lopez

3 days to replace a radiator. Price was "good" but not that good to come back and spend another 3 days waiting. The owner thinks that because he smokes we all have to smoke. The cigarette smell is terrible. Also, they were eating while working on my vehicle but the bad part is that they left garbage next to the engine.

Britny Avery

I had a donut tire on my car and these guys were wonderful! They quoted me on the spot and changed my tires. They made sure I had all the information I needed and took care of me on the spot. Wonderful service and I will definitely be coming back.

James Nathan

I've used their services several times in the last two years since my old repair shop closed. They appear to be straight shooters and the prices are reasonable. To date, the work has been well done and prompt.

aramire2 .

Great customer service ! Al is awesome, he takes the time to explain everything. The prices are great also. I purchased my tires from Lucas tires, after getting pricing from several places. They had the best price. We need to support shops like these. They have been a neighborhood staple for years.

Kimberly Howery

Thanks to these guys I was back on the road in know time these guys are awesome and Janine was very helpful. Thanks guys

Jordon Boyle

Great honest guys. They helped me with my car and I referred a friend. They talked me through everything and explained it. After a calling a couple places Lucas was the best. Thanks again.

James Wilson

Great shop to get your car repair!!!×

Greg Pettigrew

Good place to get tires

Robert Compton

I was Happy With the service and shall return if nothing goes wrong. Great staff that made me understand what was needed and explained well

Luis Monzon

Very friendly environment and very good service

armando d moreno jr

Is there a NO star option? Unbelievable!! DO NOT get your tires here...They sold me 4 cheap tires less than a year ago, the very next day one of the tires sliced open, it was a small cut, I went back and they told me it was nothing and it wouldn't affect it at all, now less than a year another tire now has a bubble in it and I went on today, as I had paid cash, they couldn't find my invoice, I don't think they report cash deals...make sure to hold on to your invoice...I went in and the guy told me I would get a "complimentary" inspection, after I told them I couldn't afford a NEW tire, and frankly I didn't want to spend any more money on that kind of tire, (I think it was reburbished), he said I owed them $20.00 inspection fee... I objected and he then told me "everybody wants something for free", this is NOT me, I believe in paying for all services and keeping your word, I got upset, paid and asked the mechanic for my car back as I was done with this place, he came up and confronted me and took his time further and said he didn't like the way I had addressed him, and took further time with my car.. could not get out there soon enough $20.00 for air is outrageous...Watch it with this place!

George Moore

Had Lucas Tire and Auto perform a number of things over the past year. I recently moved into the area and needed a reliable shop to get work performed. They've been pricing things competitively and have been able to meet expectations.

amadol0co .

Really bad experience.

Jennifer Cusack

I came in tonight around 6:00 p.m. with one visibly flat tire and one other that I thought may have a leak. The staff here was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and prompt. I had my car back by 7:00 p.m. with two new tires. I would highly recommend Lucas Tire & Auto Care!

Madeline Savoie

Recommended by a friend after a terrible experience at a dealership. Great, FAST work; honest people and prices.

Ansar Sagidullaev

Just had done my car at that place and I am very satisfied ! I had work with Al he was very helpful and honest guy. He basically saved my money. I really appreciate it. I would recommend the place. Thank a lot !

NoeLoni Adams

After reading all the negative reviews, I was very skeptical while waiting for my truck to finish getting serviced... Let's start from the beginning... I called the day before my visit & the man I spoke with was very helpful & pleasant. He gave me my tire size & quoted me a price. We weren't 100% sure with the size but, I understood that would be settled at my visit in the morning. When I arrived the next day, one of the mechanics rubbed me the wrong way with his rudeness & almost made me want to drive away but, all was forgiven with the great customer service I received from Mr. Greg! Being a concierge supervisor, I am very critical of the service I receive. I have had my share of mechanics getting over on me because I am a young female with limited car knowledge but, I did not get the feeling from this shop at all! Mr. Greg even stopped my children from being restless by giving them a twinkie & cupcake out of his own lunch! My visit was quite & painless!!

Zac Emry

Great service friendly costumer service!

Eri Shav

Everyone at Lucas Tires is always nice! Sandy always takes good care of us! Love her! service is a bit slow as my car has been at the shop longer than most places but things are always taken care of well. Will definitely go back!

Adam Rayman

I had a great experience here. I needed 3 tires to match one that I had replaced a year earlier. i called around to get the best price. Not only was Lucas Auto the cheapest, they had the best customer service over the phone. The gentleman I spoke with went over all of my options with me clearly and thoroughly, and worked with me to find the best solution. In total I called three times on various details and every time it was the same high level of service. Going there was also great. It's located in a good neighborhood to get errands done while you wait for your car. They also have some couches which were pretty comfy to wait in. Again my interaction with staff was quality. The work is also fantastic. My car is running so much more smoothly after the three new tires and alignment. I also appreciate that they have rewards programs, particularly the free oil change after 3 visits. Surpassed my expectations. I will definitely be going back again. This is my new garage.

Louis Krsnich

Do not trust them! 1) Fraudulent repairs- Claimed to have "recharged my AC" but it still blew warm air. When I took it back they told me there was a crack in the condenser. Why not fix the original crack then? I was on a time crunch so I had them repair it but I wasted $150 on the "recharge" (if it ever happened) 2) They borrowed my car over the Easter weekend "for repairs" and ended up driving the grandkids around in it. Candy was melted into the seats. Never apologized or tried to make up for it. Never went back.

Mariana J

People make sure you make singns to your car’s tires before you go there, especially if your tires are kind of new and you are a woman. Make sure they don’t change your car’s tires with bad ones without you noticing. I went to fix one tire and now i have to change all of them. One of the worse places ever! People working there are disrespectful liars and the job they do is awful!

Amador Castro

Great service! Gave me a quote for a new set tires better than anyone else in town and were able to accommodate installation the same day. Also, advised me to take care other issues as well. Strongly recommended.

J.R. Cillian Green

Overpriced beyond measure. They charge an exorbitant fee just to have you have the privilege of having them look at your car. Then tell you you need $100s of service. Usually charging you through the roof and making up reasons why only this one product will work. I took my car, after paying them the "look at it" fee, to North Park Auto and got my work done for half the price in half the time with a group that doesn't cheat their customers. DO NOT GO HERE!!!

Jose Romero

Super kind people & very well done job, highly recommend this shop

Philip Ferguson

Great service and gets what is needed done. Did the overnight drop off, got a call around lunch with an update and ready to be picked up when I was there after work. Thanks.

Slobodan Bobby Vujic

No frills but good value and friendly staff.

Mihai Sorete

Never coming here again . Asked for alignment, paid for it and they didn't do anything. I had to go down the road once again for the day to get an alignment.

Irma May

We moved to Skokie 11 years ago, and I still come back to Lucas because it is such a unique place. The service is extremely good and professional, but more importantly, I can really trust them. They have never tried to sell me on anything I didn't need, and have worked overtime to fix many weird things over the years. I plan to keep shlepping down to the city for many years to come!

Leisel Iverson

Honest service: I appreciate being shown what is wrong with my car and being given recommendations and options based on my budget. I highly recommend this service business!

Kevin Burke

They got me my Michelin AS3+ tires ASAP when i was riding on dangerous tires. Awesome manager and staff was cool and easy going. Actually cared about my safety and got the tires overnight. Got a lot of coupons for future discount. Will be going back.

Jonathan Fuld

This was the single worst experience I have ever had at a car repair shop. I had a flat tire and was running late for a meeting. They started inspecting my whole car - without my permission or direction - they had my hood up! - until I told them to put the hood down and stop looking for non-existent problems and just repair the tire. They then ‘repair’ the tire which they said had a nail. I get to my meeting with my ‘repaired’ tire, go inside, and when I come back out, the tire is completely flat. I have to get towed back to them. Upon arrival, I point out to them a crack in the side wall of the tire. Whether the crack was there before their repair and they totally missed it, or the crack developed as a result of a bad repair I don’t know. They then try to put a temporary tire on and charge me more money, when a nice and competent tire repair shop a few blocks away on Western Ave had my exact tire in stock. It is my great misfortune that I lost an entire day of my life, and much hard earned money, as a result of happening upon this shop.

Laura Cullen

First time here and had an excellent experience. Repairs, which included spark plug and brake pad replacement, were done quickly (less than a day) and explained so that I could understand the problems. Will be back for any future car work. Thank you!

hannah tarr

Sandy and the guys here are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, flexible, and helpful. I go here for all of my car maintenance needs after another place tried to rip me off (and hit on me). They are honest and a truly great business.

WailOfDoom .

Mike was great and a pleasure to work with. We organized for Tire Rack to send in my choice of winter tires and wheels to the shop for Lucas Auto Care to mount, and balance. They mounted my old AS tires on the new wheels. And then my new winter tires on my old wheels. Everything went smoothly, two hours to get all the mounting and balancing done for a price of 160 which was a good deal for the service. I appreciate Mikes diligence, and the competitive prices offered, will come back again for servicing.

Elroy Hill

Didn't bother going quote me a price and it was outrageous I have the brake pads and you still want to charge $100 not happy
