Tires season 3 was filmed in Pennsylvania, with Netflix identifying West Chester, Philadelphia, Phoenixville, Oaks, Frazer and Glenside as production locations. The update offers a more useful answer to “where was Tires filmed?” than treating the show’s fictional garage as a real address.
Netflix published its location account on 18 August 2026. It said the series had filmed all three seasons in the state and worked with more than 250 vendors and businesses on season 3.
The confirmed Tires season 3 filming locations
Netflix’s Pennsylvania production update named Fitzgerald’s Tire & Auto Service in Glenside and Caliber Collision in West Chester among the real automotive businesses used. It also identified Arnold’s Family Fun Center in Oaks, Barnaby’s and 9 Prime in West Chester, and broadcaster WPHL-TV.
These are production locations mentioned by Netflix, not a promise that every place is recognisable in every episode. A filming credit also does not turn a working garage, restaurant or broadcaster into a visitor attraction.
Is Valley Forge Automotive Center a real business?
The workplace at the centre of the comedy is fictional. Netflix’s series explainer describes Will, played by Steve Gerben, trying to turn around an auto-repair chain while dealing with his cousin Shane, played by Shane Gillis.
Keeping the fictional setting separate from the filming location helps avoid misleading directions. A real shop can provide a backdrop without sharing the name or history of the business portrayed on screen.
Shane Gillis’s role extends beyond the cast
Gillis, Gerben and John McKeever are the show’s co-creators, writers and executive producers, while McKeever directs. That makes the programme a distinct part of Gillis’s career, alongside stand-up comedy, rather than simply another acting appearance.

The Pennsylvania production background
Earlier in 2026, the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development announced film-tax-credit support for Tires season 3 and Mayor of Kingstown season 5. Its $34 million headline covered both productions together; it should not be presented as an award solely to Tires.
The announcement placed the shows within the state’s wider production economy. Netflix’s later location report adds a more specific picture of the towns and local businesses involved.
A note for fans planning a visit
Use the official location report as background, then check a venue’s own public visiting information. Businesses can change opening hours, and production access does not establish public access. There is no need to rely on an unverified “exact garage address” to understand the show’s Pennsylvania setting.
