“I’ve been using Norris Tire for my personal vehicles as well as my company vehicles for over 40 years and would highly recommend them to everyone. The staff is exceptional on knowledge, customer service, and honesty. Also best quality and price on tires!”
“This is the best place to get tires. The owner is super friendly and they get you in and out in no time without an appointment. Unlike Walmart who makes you wait forever. I always get my tires here and I send my family and friends. They always thank me and rave about the service and reasonable prices.”
“Very good...i feel i can rely on them..only complaint is that they can take your car and work on another car...but that has nothing to do with their skills and reliability.”
“Did my motorcycle tire (breaking bead / installing tire) as it was the only shop in town that deals with bike tires plus it was cheap and ready same day so I highly recommend”

“I have been using Clay Dooley for several years now for several vehicles. Great, thorough service. Easy to get an appointment. Clean environment and friendly service!”
“My brother is in town for university, and unfortunately, being 8 hours away from home, his battery on his 2017 Lexus RX350 gave out on him. From a distance, I did some research and initially found a Toyota dealership nearby, but due to past experiences, I’d rather avoid dealerships for repairs or services. I kept looking and quickly found Specialized Automotive online. After reading through their reviews and learning about their story, I knew right away this was the perfect place for my brother to take his car.
I’m a big believer in supporting smaller, family-owned businesses, especially ones that have been around for a while and built a solid reputation. I sent my brother their info and told him to book an appointment for a battery replacement. He took it in this morning, and they had him in and out with a new battery in just 30 minutes! He called me right after to tell me how great his experience was—friendly service, quick turnaround, and no hassle.
It’s rare to find an auto shop that’s both efficient and genuinely cares about its customers, and from this experience, I can confidently say that Specialized Automotive is one of those places. We've definitely found a reliable shop for my brother to return to if he ever needs anything else.”

“Evan at Beaumont has never let me down. He knows what my beat up old car needs. He is always honest and timely. He truly is a great guy with great prices. Even when my car needed work they couldn’t do, he led me to another great locally owned shop with great prices.”

“I have been searching for a great auto place ever since I moved to Champaign. I think I finally found it! The customer service here (I met with Eli) is wonderful, and the integrity of the work is equally so.
I didn't even ask for them to change out a brake light, but since they noticed one was out, they did it free of charge. I can't believe how kind these people are.
If you're looking for a place you can trust, these are the people.”
“I highly recommend this team. I needed 4 new tires, an alignment, and an oil change. They were the only business who didn’t try to upsell me on things I didn’t need, who didn’t rush through my questions, and gave me the lowest estimate by about $300. When I went to pick up my car, they told me I didn’t even need an alignment and saved me some money. Very honest, kind, and patient professionals.”
“Great service! The guy up front gave what I’d rate as “dad-level advice” - super honest and easy to trust. He recommended the same tires his wife has which made me feel a whole lot better about the decision I was making. The mechanic even figured out a weird rattling noise I couldn’t pinpoint. Definitely my (now) go-to car place for tires, oil changes, and other maintenance. Highly recommend!”
“I'm very grateful that I was recommended to this place. They are amazing and they know what they are doing! I bought 33 inch tires for my Jeep Wrangler from Firestone in Urbana. They failed to balance and put the appropriate weights on my Jeep/tires. Thus, causing my jeep to wobble! They and many other places in Urbana-Champaign couldn't fix the issue or just didn't want to deal with it.However, Best Drive went above and beyond my expectations! I highly recommend this place. Extremely happy that I get to drive my Jeep around town and on the highway without it wobbling and/or shaking!! Happy customer!”
“Done business with FS in past years they did a great job in the past, well I made it back in with a big job and once again they did a great job! A big shout out to Tom and crew Thanks for hooking my truck up:)”
“I had my car towed to tire monkey with a timing chain issue . It turned out to be than just that issue . It took some time to figure it out but they got my vehicle going . I appreciate that they did everything they could to get my car going again and didn’t give up . As I can’t get into a car payment getting a new car right now .”
“Professional, quick, and courteous. Never like having a flat tire on the road, but if I do, I'd always like to have somebody like Tyler come and fix it! Came from Champaign to Gibson City to replace my tire. Was down just over an hour and a half total from the time I noticed it and reported it until it was fixed and I was rolling again. He even torqued the lugs! Can't ask for more than that. Excellent job,Tyler, and Gem City tire.”
“New customer to Sam's Club.Good deal on Michelin tires, installation was great, lifetime rotation/roadside assistance program is great, tire/auto personnel are super friendly and also great. All around very positive experience.Thank you”

“They were honest with me about my car rusting and being to far gone to fix. I could of spent $1500 on it and probably would have if they hadn’t told me. Any other place wouldn’t of told me and I’d of wasted that money on a car that would most likely break down in the month. Great and honest staff. Highly recommend.”
“I just had the best experience selling a car. The manager was super nice and efficient. If you have your act together, you’ll be in and out in minutes. Highly recommend”
“I was recently told by another repair shop that I needed my brakes replaced. I took my car to Kirby’s for another opinion. They determined my brakes are fine and also performed a 30 point inspection. No work needed at this point, and there was no change for the visit. This is my 2nd time dealing with Kirby Firestone in Urbana and I definitely plan to continue to use them for servicing my car.”
“We had a tire blowout on an RV in a Saturday morning. Called them, they had a tire and when we got there they started work in about 10 minutes. Had us back on the road in less than an hour. Just awesome.”
“I took my F150 to PDR automotive because I had a problem that i thought was the water pump. They promptly schedule me for an evaluation and then the repair work. The water pump problem and the work that needed to be done was explained very clearly and also the cost estimate. The work was completed at the time they had indicated to me. The mechanic noted that I was due an oil change so I requested they add it while the had the truck at their place. They said no problem to do the oil change which saved me a trip on another day. I am very pleased with the quality of the service that i received”
“Great staff super friendly made my inconvenience of a flat tire more enjoyable. Perfect pricing super reasonable. Look no further this is the crew you want for all your trucking and towing needs they will definitely turn your frown upside down (:”
“Came here in search of tires after I had a blowout on one of mine, and after Walmart gave me the runaround on trying to get the tires I was after. Tire Barn's folks figured out quickly which tires would work for my car, and got me in the next morning to get the changeout taken care of.
It took them more time than they'd planned (I'm told it took them more than two hours to get this blown-out tire off the rim!), but by golly, they kept at it, and they got it done. They took good care of everything in the process, and they didn't try to upcharge me on a whole bunch of services I didn't need. It was a little bit more expensive than, say, Walmart, but for peace of mind, and knowing that they'll take good care of you, I'd say the extra money was well worth it. Glad to have another mechanic I can trust in town!”
“Great shop with reliable service. They’ve looked out for me over the years and seen me through some car troubles. Most recently they fixed another shops problem and covered the diagnostic and fixed their mistake. Hint: don’t go to Napleton’s in Urbana!!”
