Fast Tire

This place earned my business. Great to work with. Jen at the front desk was awesome. I’ll be going here for all my future repair and oil change needs!

Just get a 2^nd opinion. I have gone to fast tire for over a decade. Even before the new
was great. Recently post Car x, some odd stuff happened. I had a brake job done. The Bill $ 800. I thought for front and back. Nope just back. They must of changed everything wright, nope.5 mo. later I start getting a worrble when braking. When I went in I was told «We didn’t work on the calipers and when they failed they ruined your pads and
bid $ 2300. I now need front and the previously done rear all done. ITS A HONDA PRODUCT FOR CH… SAKE. No sympathy, no owning up to missing something the 1^st time, just $ 2300 .So off to a 2^nd repair shop in Antioch, on 83 (You can figure it out). Bid #2 $ 400. His explanation for the 5 mo. fail… super cheap brake pads used. I had it done there, no problems .I would of thought this was a one off but this was the second repair I had done elsewhere for at least half the bid. Not going back anymore. Its a shame, this used to be a great locally owned business. If your an old fan I would tell you to expect more Car x less Fast Tire. May bee this was a fluke, these guys used to be awesome, just get a second opinion.

Tried to give them the benefit of doubt-​took my car to another GM dealer –disassembled power steering pump and was told «definitely nothing wrong» after Fast Tire told me it was shot and quoted me $ 1100+ for a new system.
My experience is that they are not reliable and not very customer friendly.
It’s been a year since I was told by Fast Tire that my power steering pump needed to be replaced @ $ 1100.00 +. Still no issues with my power steering. Very disreputable company.

The rims I bought here have a cheap coating that is already deteriorating, and now 3 out of 4 are bent. These ICW rims are about 5 years old and cost a small fortune. Also, these crappy spline lugs have the same cheap coating, and are constantly breaking the cheap keys they make to remove these lugs.
I have replaced the spline key 5 times since having these installed. Now I’m replacing all of the lugs with gorilla hex lugs to avoid breaking cheap key after key, since places like this sell cheap tools to unsuspecting customers.
I am very disappointed that this store recommended the rims I bought. They are cheaply made and don’t even look good anymore. The salesperson was obviously not knowledgable about the products, and this store cannot be relied upon for smart, logical opinions or recommendations.

I have had no prior experience with this shop until Friday.
Thursday, I ordered tires from Discount Tire Round Lake and they were promised Friday. Not only did they want to dick me around on price, but they couldn’t come up with the tires. If you are curious of the full story, there is a review I left on the Discount Tire Round Lake store’s Unilocal!Page.
I called Fast Tire and they promised me tires next day at noon. Perfect. They even matched the «pissed off customer discount» I had gotten at Discount Tire when I found out my tires wouldn’t be in until TUESDAY. Mind you this was a FRIDAY.
Shop is clean, workers are clean cut and communicative, service was quick. Only complaint I have is that I dropped it off for a 9AM appointment to have the suspension looked at to determine what the cause of play was in the steering, to order parts and install before the tires were installed, and suspension aligned. I waited an extra two hours for the car due to that.
My rating for now is at 4 stars. I may return in the future.

I must have accidentally hit the 4 stars instead of 5 stars with the last review. So I thought I would fix that.
Fast tire has been my go-​to place for regular maintenance and some extensive suspension work too.
There are many shops around my house but I make the trip out here to Antioch knowing I am getting great service at a great price each and every time!
Thanks fast tire!

I had been going to Fast Tire since they opened many years ago. I was taking our four family cars and two business trucks up there for service. However now that it is Car X, they just are not the same place !
Make sure you get a quote before they start working. I had my brakes done and when I went to pick up the car they tried charging me an extra $ 100 for them. Also they charged me $ 100 for two replacement bulbs that cost $ 10.95ea. Total rip off, I told them I didn’t appreciate them screwing a veteran on memorial weekend !!
They adjusted the brakes down, but did not give me the online coupon amount that I had.
Its just not the same customer friendly place I use to go too. I am taking all our vehicles elsewhere.

Had to go here the first time today for a screw up that happened at Discount Tire. So happy to find a place open on Sunday for one and for two it was a simple thing of the nut on the valve stem not being tight. No charge! They could have lied and said it was something and charged us because they knew we were desperate but they didn’t. I wish we would have just went there to get tires in the first place. We will for sure next time. Oh and their waiting area is just awesome! Video games, TVs, computers!

I have used them several times for alignments, rotations and fixing tires. I have not actually purchased tires there so will not comment on tire prices, but the other services are properly priced. They have a knowledgable staff, unlike the morons at NTB, and very eager to please. It does help to have a comfortable waiting room with wifi when I cannot drop off the car and really do not want to wander Wal-​Mart for an hour. They are my go to tire/​alignment shop.

I turned to Fast Tire when Discount Tires quoted me an excellent price on the tires I wanted, but then couldn’t produce them and subsequently gave me pretty awful customer service.
Fast Tire, on the other hand, provided pretty great customer service. They were professional and worked with me to get my business without being needy and overbearing. I wish they were a LITTLE more friendly when I got there and that there was more than ONE open parking spot in their whole lot, but they make up for it with their über-​cool waiting areas and quick service.
If you’re sick of the tire places that pressure you to make a deal, even if it’s not on something you want or something you KNOW won’t look good on your car, go to Fast Tire. You might pay a few bucks more, but you’ll save your sanity!

Fast Tire is the ultimate man cave to get your car maintenance completed in record time at highly competitive prices. I am one of those people who drives an import and who for the longest time, always returned to the dealership. After countless bad experiences with the dealership’s servicing team and paying sky-​high rates for routine oil changes and other nonstandard fixes for ‘unexpected’ repairs, I’ve decided to take my business elsewhere, even if it means leaving the city.
Enter Fast Tire — friends and clients swear by this place. Located not far off of I-​94, this car repair shop has been delighting customers for several years now. Their guys are service-​oriented and passionate about their work. What’s even nicer is that they offer a really cool waiting room that is outfitted with plush club chairs, free wi-​fi, multiple flat-​screen TVs, free gourmet coffee that you can brew in a few minutes, and 3 new computers that allow you to surf the web, check email, and get some work done while you wait. I never thought hanging out in a waiting room would be fun and a bit like going to a lounge bar, but this is as close as it gets without having guys get fresh with you.
Top that off — their pricing for their services, tires, etc… are amongst the best you’ll see in Lake and Cook Counties. Their work is first-​rate and they are always helpful at answering questions. No fast talking guys or pushy sales men — my car has never been happier and I continue to recommend family, friends, and acquaintances to check this place out.
Their service quality and level of client satisfaction is reflected in their growing, loyal customer fan base — it’s not uncommon to see 8 people here waiting at any given time of the day. Call ahead or stop on by — if you are hungry, there is a Jimmy John’s next door that you can grab a sandwich and bring back to your ultra-​cool man cave.
