Affton Tire Shop & Auto Service Repair

Daily stop-and-go on Gravois Rd and hot, humid Missouri summers break motor oil down faster than steady highway cruising. Most Affton drivers are due for a change sooner than the dashboard suggests.

Every oil change includes a free digital vehicle inspection, so worn belts, low fluids, and tired filters get caught before they leave you stranded on I-55. The team will show you exactly what your car needs nothing more.

Stop by the Gravois Road shop to have your alignment checked before uneven wear shortens your tires' lifespan.
