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.
