I had a few tires that were low due to weather. They aired my tires and were quick. They were so kind.

I was looking for a new place to take my car here in the Alton area due to poor service from NTB. I went to NTB for years and the treatment given to their customers is embarrassing to say the least. Yesterday, I noticed a strange noise when I would brake. I called the office and spoke to Jim and he was very kind and asked me to come in, so they could take a look. Most places would tell me to come in a day, or two later. He could tell that I was worried about the noise and he cared. Without question, he had one of his workers take a look and found the issue. I was so grateful for their kindness and concern for me. Jim took the time to show me how brake pads and rotors should look, so I can be proactive with my vehicle maintenance. I am so happy that I dialed their number and I can say that this is where I am taking my vehicle for anything I need! Thank you so much, Drake Tire and Auto! You give people hope that there are still businesses that CARE!

I was told by a dealership because my tire was bouncing that I needed a new rim. However, a friend of mine referred me to this establishment. They looked at my tires. They looked at my rim, tested the balancing in the tire and come to find out, it wasn’t a rim. It was a steel belt that had gone bad in the tire, this is a very courteous staff eager to help you and give you the full explanation of what is going on with your vehicle. I ended up getting new tires no rim needed and pulled out of their place. Very happy. Also The staff is Courteous and knowledgeable on what they are doing. I will no longer take my car to the dealership for anything. I will always bring my car here. Great job guys.

People are nice and seem helpful. Always get a second opinion on any recommended work. Was told I needed 3 new ball joints after taking it in for an alignment. Took it to my normal mechanic, put it up on the rack and 4 of us tested the ball joints. They aren't bad. Always get a second opinion to be sure.

Started going to Drake tire in 2023 and have really loved going there whenever I need my oil change or any issues with my tires. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, and as a woman I’ve never felt like they’ve ripped me off or tried to get money out of me. They have very fair prices and are honest people. Would definitely recommend for oil changes, tire rotations, and usual car maintenance.

Drake Tire Auto does good work! New to area, not know many people or places to go. When my car stops to work, take it to this place. They did really good! Fast and not a lot expensive. Very please.

I wrecked my car a quarter mile down.The road had it towed here before they even opened. My Car was undriveable, and every single garage was full of cars they had to fix. But they still squeezed me in and fixed my car. In less then 2 days before I had to leave the state, it was awesome experience!!!! They helped me out so much!!!!!

Just a great place to take your car or truck for repairs. The honesty of the repair crew and service professionals is the greatest thing.

I was visiting Alton one Friday, and suddenly my low tire pressure indicator came on and said I had one tire with ten psi less than the other three. Not knowing Alton, I googled "tire repair," and found Drakes. I went there about 3:30 PM, and they got me right in. They removed a nail, patched, not plugged, the hole and adjusted the pressure in all the tires. The two men I worked with, Chris and Steve, were the nicest guys you'd ever want to deal with, and provided the best service anyone could ever ask for. Thank you so much, Chris and Steve!

Stopped by after running over a nail while in the area. I was in and out with a repaired tire in less than 45 minutes. Thank you for your courteous help and sense of urgency! As I waited in the lobby, it was evident that this group cares about their customers!

If i could give Drake ten stars, i most definitely would. I had went and my car serviced at another facility. They replaced my radiator, but didn't replace over 12 screws or tighten bolts. The bumper wasn't secured, neither was the reserve tank, and the battery was wiggling around on the mount. There was 6 workers underneath my car problem solving. They traced wires n secured them, they let me see everything that was done. 1st of all Jim F took me around the corner so that he could hear n experience what had me so alarmed. I have a follow up appointment more work. Thank you jesse, steve, jason, and the others.

My husband called Drake the Wednesday before thanksgiving mid afternoon. I need a tire replaced and had ordered the tire online from elsewhere. Nobody else could get us in. Chris was awesome and got us right in and had the bad tire off and the good tire on. He also gave us an amazing deal. I will definitely be using Drake for any needed repairs, etc! I would recommend calling Drake before you waste your time with any other tire and auto in Alton!!

My tire light came on as I was crossing the bridge from Missouri to Alton. I stopped at Drake Tire and was impressed by how friendly they were and how quickly they were able to get me back on the road.

Super friendly and helpful. Recommended another business since they could help us in an emergency. Highly recommend!
Feb 07, 2023
They are always careful with my vehicle, and never try to upsell me. They tell me exactly what I need and no more, and they're always really nice.
Feb 07, 2023
They go out of their way to help you! Great people! I will refer family and friends to get the same experience!!

Was traveling from Jacksonville to St.Louis for a Dr. Appt when I hit a flat, made it to Drake Tire & Auto Service luckily and was greeted by Chris at the front desk. Explaining my situation they got me in quickly and started working on my tire. Was very friendly and professional, if I lived in the area I would be back to give them more business.
