Patriot Express Tire & Oil has been named the 2026 Best of Plano Auto Repair/Service Shop and the 2026 Best of Plano Oil Change Shop. The Plano Star-Courier presented the two separate awards to the veteran-owned business in Plano, Texas.
The annual Best of Plano honors are determined by reader voting rather than industry credentials or a panel of judges. Residents of Plano cast votes to identify local businesses and service providers they believe stand out in their respective categories. This process gives local consumers a direct voice in recognizing the companies they choose to support.
Brent Radtke, owner of Patriot Express Tire & Oil, described the dual recognition as an incredible honor for his team. He stated that being selected by the community means more than simply winning an award because it indicates the work is making a difference. Radtke emphasized that the shop works every day to earn customer trust.
The business provides a broad range of automotive services to drivers in Plano and surrounding areas. Offerings include tire replacement, brake service, wheel alignments, battery installation, suspension repairs, air conditioning service, inspections, and general maintenance. The company notes it has invested in equipment and training to handle increasingly complex vehicles while maintaining a philosophy of putting the community first.
Radtke described honor and integrity as cornerstones of the business rather than just words on a wall. He noted that when customers hand over their keys, they are trusting the shop with their family's safety and often their livelihood. The owner said the team intends to be worthy of that trust every time.
