Yes. Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Subaru, Hyundai, Kia, Volkswagen and other import owners trust us for tires, alignments, brakes, diagnostics and maintenance, right here in Independence and without a long drive to a dealer.
Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Acura, Nissan, Infiniti and Mazda
Japanese makes are known for lasting, and the right maintenance is what gets them to 200,000 miles. Our reviews include a RAV4, a Sienna that came in for an oil change, tire rotation and battery, a Highlander that got a loaner tire before a trip to Wichita, Nissan Rogues and an Altima, and a Honda HR-V. The Land Cruiser at the top of this page came through our shop too.
Subaru: all-wheel drive needs matched tires
Subaru's symmetrical all-wheel drive expects all four tires to be close to the same diameter. Replacing one tire on a worn set can mean trouble for the drivetrain, so Subaru calls for tires to be matched in tread depth. When one tire can't be repaired, we'll measure the others and give you the honest options. Rotating on schedule keeps the four even. Outbacks and Imprezas both appear in our reviews.
Hyundai, Genesis and Kia
Tucsons and Sportages appear in our SureCritic reviews for flat repair and general service. Long factory powertrain warranties stay valid when you do maintenance with us. Keep your receipts.
Volkswagen, Audi, BMW and Porsche
European cars often call for specific oil specs, filters and procedures. We follow the factory requirements for maintenance, and we handle tires, alignment, brakes, suspension and diagnostics.
Common import needs we handle
TPMS sensors: they wear out after several years and need programming to the vehicle.
Correct oil specs: many imports call for specific low-viscosity synthetics.
Alignment after tire wear: lighter cars and crossovers show edge wear quickly.
Check engine light diagnostics that test the cause instead of guessing from a code.

Concern for customer
There was a slow leak in my tire. I needed to drive to Wichita the next day and Tony was concerned about my safety so he put on a loaner tire until the replacement tire came in.

Response from Ashcraft Tire & Auto
Thank you for your review! So glad your experience with us was a positive one and look forward to doing more business with you in the future!
Do I have to take my Toyota or Honda to the dealer for maintenance?
No. Maintenance and repairs can be done at any qualified shop without voiding your factory warranty, as long as the work follows the manufacturer's schedule and specs.
Why does my Subaru need all four tires replaced at once?
Subaru's all-wheel-drive system is sensitive to differences in tire size. A new tire next to three worn ones can be different enough in diameter to strain the drivetrain, so Subaru calls for tires to be closely matched in tread depth.
Can you replace TPMS sensors on my import?
Yes. Tire pressure sensors wear out with age, and we replace and program them so your warning light works correctly.
Do you work on European cars like Volkswagen, Audi and BMW?
Yes, for tires, alignment, brakes, suspension, diagnostics and maintenance. A Carfax reviewer with a Volkswagen CC wrote that we diagnosed the issue and they came back for the repair.
