Tire Care near Oak Brook, IL
Tires serve as your vehicle’s single point of contact with the road, making them absolutely vital to every aspect of its safety and performance. To help drivers keep their cars in peak condition, the Service Department at Lombard Toyota has compiled this guide to understanding and maintaining these essential parts so that you can keep traveling confidently across the Chicagoland area.
Maximizing Tire Life
When properly maintained, a quality set of all-season tires on your Camry or RAV4 is designed to survive tens of thousands of miles. A simple way to extend their lifespan is by adjusting your daily driving habits. Practice defensive driving by avoiding sudden acceleration, sharp cornering, and abrupt braking — all of these can prevent premature tread wear. You should also try your best to steer clear of deep potholes and debris-laden road shoulders, as a sharp impact or stray nail can immediately cause a puncture. Most importantly, check that your tires are always inflated to the exact pressure listed in the Owner’s Manual or inside the driver’s side door jamb. This helps ensure that each one wears evenly while providing optimal traction.
Inspecting Tires at Home
Completing a quick monthly self-inspection on your Highlander or Tacoma is an excellent habit to form, especially before departing on a lengthy road trip. You can easily check tread depth at home by using a standard quarter test. Simply insert a coin upside down into the thinnest slot on the tire. If the top of George Washington’s head is completely visible, the rubber has worn too thin to drive safely, and a new set is required as soon as possible. Other than this depth test, you should also examine the outer sidewalls for any unusual cuts, scrapes, or bulges. These can quickly escalate into a dangerous blowout, so if you spot any of them before you head out for an afternoon at the York Woods Forest Preserve, put your plans on hold and check with our Tire Center when you can.
Spare Tires
In the unfortunate event that you encounter a flat tire while driving through Oak Brook, you’ll likely need to rely on your Corolla or 4Runner’s spare tire. Usually tucked beneath the cargo or trunk floor panel, but sometimes mounted under the body, this temporary wheel is significantly smaller and narrower than a standard one. It’s designed exclusively for emergencies and should never be driven for a distance exceeding 50 miles or at a pace over 45 to 50 MPH. Following these strict restrictions allows you to safely navigate to our Service Department, where we can complete tire repairs or find you a new set if needed.

“ My car hit road debris on 1-88 late Monday afternoon June 22nd and was disabled (tire damage and shattered drivers side rear view mirror). I brought the vehicle in the next day at 9:00 am without an appointment and was immediately greeted by the service advisor, Joshua. He managed to make all necessary arrangements to have the complex problems addressed. By 3:30 that afternoon, the car was ready for pick up. All the damage was repaired beautifully by the talented service technicians. Now the car handles and looks like new! I have never had such 5 star customer auto service like that which I received from Joshua and the team at Lombard Toyota’s service department. I’ll definitely be returning for future service needs! ”

I purchased a new vehicle back in March.
“ I purchased a new vehicle back in March. The purchase process had some hiccups, but ultimately I made the purchase. Then in July I received a notice from Cook County that taxes were still due. I called the dealership on Monday and left a message. Called again Tuesday and left a message. On Wednesday no one had called me back so I called my sales person directly. Kenny answered and said he’d have to get back to me the next day when he was in the office. No call on Thursday. I called Kenny again Friday and he said that finance was supposed to call me and he would check with them and have them call me. I then received a text from him that they did not collect the Cook County tax. Ok, not helpful. In March we had negotiated an all-in price. Typically that means all taxes. Neither Kenny nor the finance person I dealt with informed me that Lombard Toyota chooses not to register with Cook County in order to remit their tax. We discussed Cook County taxes during negotions, which caused Kenny to increase the price to cover the added tax. Now I have a bill to pay in addition to the extra I paid for my vehicle. I’m disappointed this wasn’t disclosed. I’m disappointed no one could call me back. I’m disappointed that when I drove to the dealership to finally talk to someone, the finance person could only tell me that he just pays what the computer tells him and that it is illegal for them to pay takes to Cook County, which is untrue. This is my second Highlander from Lombard Toyota and will be my last. ”
“ Very disappointed that this dealer will not sell you a new car unless you except to pay an additional $299 for nitrogen filled tires even though I didn't request or wanted that on a new vehicle. The sales associate stated that he will not remove it because the general manager will not take off this fee and is okay with losing a car deal over it. I called later to ask about this add on fee and receptionist stated if sales associate said it is required then that is what it is. I was not transferred to talk to a general manager/manager to enquire about it. I told receptionist that I hope the dealership reconsidered not adding these unnecessary fees/add-ons, because they just lost a deal. Long story short, I ended up getting the same car that I wanted from Toyota in Ohio. They did not force you to pay for unnecessary add-ons. Also, there was other Toyota dealers in Illinois & in the Chicago area that I called that didn't require you to pay for nitrogen filled tires. I recommend buyers to call around dealers to make sure you aren't force to pay for fees that you will later end up paying interest for the life of your loan. Hopefully this dealership changes that policy. ”
“ Went to get Out the door pricing, got the run around instead. Their “Senior” salesman didn’t even want to shake my hand. Let everyone know - They will absolutely waste your time. I asked for a price, give it to me when I ask. Pretty simple and easy to understand. I’ll move on and give my money to someone else who will give me what I’m asking for. ”
“ (Translated by Google) Honestly, be careful if Luis Duran is your customer. He promises a lot of things, but after a while, none of it turns out to be true. He makes you waste time and money. People like him shouldn't be there because he doesn't do his job properly and he deceives you. He takes advantage of inexperienced buyers. Watch out! 👀🤨 (Original) La verdad tengan cuidado si los atiende LUIS DURAN, te promete muchas cosas que después de tiempo nada de eso es verdad, te hace perder tiempo y dinero. la verdad personas como el no deberían estar ahí, porque no hace bien su trabajo te engaña. Se aprovecha de la gente que no tiene experiencia comprando. OJO CON ESO👀🤨 ”
“ I have been coming here since I purchased my Highlander. I made an appointment for a simple oil change at 8:45 am. At 10:00am I asked about my car. I was told there were 2 cars ahead of me! Why make the appointment if it’s treated like nothing? I mentioned to the service guy that this was ridiculous, and was met with silence. As soon as I brought it up everyone in the service area looked at their shoes, Crickets! No apologies whatsoever! I got my keys back and left. I went to a local oil change place that did what I asked and was happy. Sorry Lombard Toyota, if that’s how you treat long standing customers, I’m out. Never going back there again. ZERO STARS! I appreciate your response to my review, but I have moved on. I’ve spent most of that morning solving the problem you created. I even had to get my car washed because someone parked it in an area that collected construction dust/debris. I’m not happy with your dealership and not sure what you can do to make this feeling go away. ”
