A Legacy Built on Reliability
Firestone Complete Auto Care began a century ago when its founder, Harvey Firestone, established one-stop service stations to provide maintenance related to tires, gasoline, oil, batteries and brakes. As vehicle ownership grew in the 1920s and 1930s, Firestone led the emerging industry in standardization, training, and innovation—introducing warranties, limited lifetime guarantees, advanced diagnostics and specialized education that helped turn service stations into centers of expertise. Harvey was customer-first from day one, and many of his practices are still going strong today.

Today, the Firestone Complete Auto Care network comprises more than 1,800 stores across 48 states. This extensive coverage involves a growing team of more than 9,500 technicians. These technicians are supported by an Automotive Service Excellence (ASE)-accredited training program, which is designed to help deliver gold-standard service. Firestone Complete Auto Care's legacy and its employees, past and present, embody the trusted reliability and dependability associated with the Firestone brand.
