Quality Full Service Auto Care You Can Trust
About Us
Bunge's Tire & Auto was founded by Herman Bunge in 1927. Initially, US Royal (now Uniroyal) tires were sold and installed, and the business grew to include the sale of kitchen appliances and additional automotive services such as oil changes and wheel alignments.
In the 1960's, Bunge's Tire & Auto was purchased by Boncosky Oil, now Petroliance. Under this new leadership, additional locations were opened and Goodyear tires were introduced. These locations included Bartlett, Belvidere, Dundee, and Larkin Avenue on the west side of Elgin. The types of services provided also expanded, making Bunge's Tire & Auto a full service automotive facility. Over time, these satellite facilities eventually closed or were sold.
In 1991, Bunge's Tire & Auto, with its sole location on Grove Avenue, was forced by the city to leave. Boncosky Oil decided to sell its interest to its managers, who moved the operation to North McLean Boulevard. In 1997, Bunge's again moved to a brand new location on South McLean Boulevard.
In 2006, Bunge's Tire & Auto was purchased by its current owner. Of note is the introduction of a full line of tires including Goodyear, Dunlop, Michelin, BF Goodrich, Republic, Uniroyal, Continental, General, American, Pirelli, and Yokohama.
