Taking a Spin with “Tires” – The Netflix Comedy with Garden State Roots!
While New Jersey is known for its stunning coastline, vibrant cities, and rich history, it’s also a place where creativity thrives, often influencing the broader world of entertainment. Today, we’re taking a closer look at a Netflix comedy series that, while set in an auto repair shop, offers a unique blend of humor that’s resonating with audiences and sparking conversations: “Tires.”
Under the Hood of “Tires”: A Hilarious Take on Family Business
“Tires,” the brainchild of comedians Shane Gillis and Steve Gerben, takes viewers into the hilariously dysfunctional world of the Valley Forge Automotive Center. The premise is simple but effective: Will, played by Steve Gerben, inherits his father’s struggling auto repair business. Despite his somewhat questionable qualifications, Will is determined to turn things around. His biggest hurdle? His perpetually disruptive cousin and employee, Shane, played by Shane Gillis, who seems to exist purely to “torment” Will and complicate every attempt at progress.
The show thrives on the dynamic between these two central characters, serving up a brand of humor that can range from crude and juvenile to surprisingly sharp and relatable. It’s the kind of comedy that finds humor in the everyday frustrations and absurdities of a small business and the unique bonds (and exasperations) of family. The supporting cast, including talents like Chris O’Connor, Kilah Fox, and Stavros Halkias, rounds out the ensemble, adding to the chaotic charm of the auto shop.
From Garage to Global Phenomenon: “Tires” on Netflix
“Tires” quickly gained traction, with its first season premiering on Netflix on May 24, 2024. Its distinct comedic style clearly resonated with enough viewers, as it was swiftly renewed for a second season. The highly anticipated second season, which debuted on June 5, 2025, picks up the narrative with Will and Shane facing even bigger challenges as they try to save the Valley Forge Automotive Center from an uncertain fate.
A significant new addition to Season 2 is the appearance of Shane’s father, Phil, portrayed by the acclaimed actor Thomas Haden Church. His arrival not only aims to help with the struggling business but also promises to delve into the complicated relationship between father and son, adding another layer of comedic and emotional depth to the series.
The Verdict: A Show That Sparks Conversation
“Tires” has certainly stirred up diverse opinions. Some critics have found its humor to be on the cruder side, while others have praised its unexpected punchlines and moments of genuine, relatable comedy that capture the essence of everyday struggles and familial dynamics. Regardless of critical consensus, the show has cemented its place as a talked-about comedy, proving that its unique voice has found its audience.
For fans of raw, unfiltered comedy and a peek into the quirky world of an auto repair shop, “Tires” offers plenty of laughs and memorable moments. It’s a testament to the diverse range of storytelling that finds a home on streaming platforms, showcasing talent that often got its start honing skills in local comedy clubs and independent productions, much like those found right here in New Jersey.
