For over 65 years, Donovan’s Auto & Tire Center – Pleasant Ridge has been the trusted name in auto repair and maintenance for Cincinnati drivers. We first set up shop in 1958 just down the road, and in 1996, we moved to our current home at 5601 Ridge Avenue to continue delivering the same honest, high-quality service our customers know and trust.
As our longest-running location, Donovan’s Pleasant Ridge offers:
No matter what brings you in, our ASE-certified technicians are committed to getting you back on the road safely with the highest level of care.
Whether you need a shuttle ride back to the office, or a free loaner car to keep your life moving, at Donovan’s, we have options to take the stress out of auto repair. Just let us know what you need when you book your appointment!
Right across the street from our main shop, you’ll find our Donovan’s Express Oil Center, offering quick lube services with no wait time. Stop by for a fast, professional oil change—no appointment needed.
Find us at 5601 Ridge Avenue, right in the heart of Pleasant Ridge. We’re just minutes from I-71 and easily accessible from Oakley, Kennedy Heights, and Amberley Village. Whether you’re a longtime customer or new to the area, we’re proud to be your go-to neighborhood auto shop.
Your tires are the only thing between your car and the road—don’t take chances with them! We trust Bridgestone and Firestone for their durability and performance, but we can source all major brands to suit your needs. Stop by for a free tire inspection, and we’ll give you an honest, no-nonsense assessment to keep you safe on the road.
For fast, no-wait oil changes, we recommend visiting Donovan’s Express Oil across the street—no appointment needed! But if you’re here for other services, we’re happy to handle your oil change on-site. Either way, we’ll make sure your vehicle gets the care it needs to keep running smoothly.
Your brakes are essential to your vehicle’s safety, and at Donovan’s, we take them seriously. With thousands of brake jobs performed each year, our expert technicians ensure every service is done right the first time. We trust and install high-quality Raybestos brakes, giving you reliable stopping power and peace of mind on the road.
A check engine light can mean many things—don’t ignore it! Bring your vehicle to Donovan’s, where our skilled technicians will quickly diagnose the issue and provide the necessary repairs to get you back on the road with confidence. No guessing, no unnecessary work—just honest, expert service.
With advanced diagnostic tools and years of expertise, our team can accurately pinpoint and resolve any issue your vehicle is facing. We even have a certified BMW technician on staff who specializes in BMW diagnostics and repairs. Whether it’s a minor hiccup or a complex problem, we’ll get your car back to peak performance.
Regular maintenance is the key to keeping your car running smoothly and avoiding costly repairs down the road. Our experienced technicians service all makes and models, ensuring your vehicle stays reliable, efficient, and road-ready.
