"A Family Run Business You Can Trust"

About Us

Since 2011, Oakton Tires has proudly served Evanston, IL, as a family-owned and family-run tire shop built on fairness, honesty, and top-level service. The business originally began by offering used tires, and through hard work, experience, and customer trust, it has grown into a full-service tire shop serving the surrounding communities.

Oakton Tires is led by Franco, who brings over 15 years of hands-on experience in the industry. He is certified in alignment services and basic mechanical work, ensuring every vehicle is serviced with care, accuracy, and professional knowledge. The shop specializes in tires, tire repairs, and alignments, always focusing on safe, reliable solutions rather than unnecessary upselling.

Known for its friendly atmosphere and approachable service, Oakton Tires takes pride in working with each customer based on their budget and specific needs. Complimentary alignment checks, tire cleaning, and semi-truck tire services are offered to provide added value and convenience. Proudly serving Evanston, Des Plaines, Skokie, and Wilmette, Oakton Tires remains committed to delivering an honest, dependable tire shop experience and welcoming customers in for service they can trust.

I came for replacement tires with no appointment on a weekday evening. There were at least 3 other clients but it only took about one hour before I was back on the road. I decided to buy 2 new tires because the price was decent, but they also have used ✅ Paid with tap no problem
