What tire shop does Luigi operate in Pixar’s Cars?

The story behind the answer

Luigi operates Luigi’s Casa della Tires in Pixar’s Cars.

Luigi is a small yellow Fiat 500 who owns the tire shop in Radiator Springs. The business name, “Casa della Tires,” mixes English with Italian and reflects Luigi’s pride in Italian cars and racing. His shop is one of the town’s recognizable landmarks and is located near the other businesses on Radiator Springs’ main street.

Luigi is especially enthusiastic about Ferrari. When Michael Schumacher visits Radiator Springs in the film’s closing sequence, Luigi is thrilled to meet him. In the English version, Luigi is voiced by Tony Shalhoub, whose performance emphasizes the character’s theatrical Italian-American enthusiasm.

The shop names in Cars are often confused because many are built around the owner’s name and vehicle-related wordplay. Flo runs Flo’s V8 Café, Ramone operates Ramone’s House of Body Art, and Sarge runs Sarge’s Surplus Hut. Luigi’s business is specifically the tire shop.
