Independence is the county seat and home to our shop on N 6th Street. From here we serve:

The vehicles that keep the county running
Fire rescue trucks, ambulances, work pickups and farm equipment have all been through our bays. When a first-responder vehicle needs an alignment or brakes, it can't sit for a week, and neither can the pickup that gets you to your job or the tractor in the field.
Fleet and emergency vehicles
We handle tires, alignment, brakes and suspension on heavy-duty pickups, rescue trucks and ambulances. Call 620-331-3730 to talk through scheduling for a department or fleet so vehicles are out of service as briefly as possible.

Reviews from Sycamore, just up the road:
Tire repair
I had a new tire that had a slow leak. I took it to Ashcraft Tire and they immediately started to fix it. They found what looked like a horse shoe nail in it. I have no idea where I picked that nail up. However, my tire was fixed very quickly and I was on my way home. Thank you to everyone who made my experience a very pleasant one.

Installation of new tires.
They ordered new tires for my truck. They told me when the truck would be ready, and it was.

County roads demand more from your tires
Off the highways, Montgomery County is gravel and chip-seal, low-water crossings, and farm lanes. That means more punctures, more sidewall damage, and front ends that wear faster. A few habits help:
- Check tire pressure monthly, and more often when temperatures swing.
- Rotate every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Rotation and balancing
- Get the alignment checked after a hard hit or any time the steering wheel sits crooked. Wheel alignment
- Consider all-terrain tires on pickups that live on gravel. New tires
Working hours that fit
We're open Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM and Saturday from 8 AM to noon. If you work days, drop the vehicle off on your way in and pick it up on your way home, or bring it Saturday morning for quick jobs like flats and rotations. Request an appointment and tell us what works for you.
