1-Star Review Extremely disappointing experience -- think twice before working here or trusting this shop with your vehicle. I'm writing this as a former employee who genuinely came to this shop ready to work hard and do my job. I'm a husband and father who was working to provide for my family, and I always tried to keep God first, treat people with respect, and give customers the best service I could. I showed up early, worked hard, and made sure customers were getting in and out. I wasn't hired to be somebody's personal helper or to simply agree with everything another employee said. I was hired as a mechanic, and I take pride in my work. Unfortunately, one employee, Manny, seemed to have an issue with me from the beginning. I felt like I was constantly being treated disrespectfully and expected to act like a yes-man instead of being allowed to do my job as a technician. If I disagreed with something or had a different opinion, it wasn't welcomed. What really disappointed me was management's response. Rather than hearing both sides and recognizing the work I was doing, my boss chose to take Manny's side and let me go. I actually have the text messages from my former boss confirming that Manny told him I wasn't right for what he was looking for and that he was letting me go. That's what makes this experience so frustrating. I wasn't fired because I didn't want to work. I was working. I wasn't fired because I didn't care about customers. I cared about them. I was fired because I wasn't willing to let another employee push me around or treat me like a dog. As far as my experience with Manny as a technician, I also witnessed things that concerned me. There were situations where sensors were unplugged and parts were being changed without what I considered proper diagnosis first. In my opinion, that's how customers end up paying for parts they may not have needed. A good mechanic should diagnose the problem, test the system, and then replace what's actually defective--not just throw parts at a problem. Manny also seemed unwilling to listen to another technician's opinion. Everything had to be done his way, and shortcuts seemed more important than proper diagnosis. I know the mechanic I am. I know how hard I worked. And I know the way I treated customers. Losing this job isn't what bothers me most. What bothers me is seeing a hardworking husband and father who was trying to provide for his family get thrown away because management would rather keep one employee happy than recognize another employee's hard work. I wish the owner and the shop the best, but my experience taught me that being a hardworking, respectful employee doesn't mean much if management has already chosen sides. Customers deserve proper diagnosis. Employees deserve respect. And neither should have to kiss anyone's ass to get it. 1/5 -- I would not recommend working here based on my experience, and I personally would think twice before trusting my vehicle to a shop where this is how things are handled. read more

I brought my car in for a brake light switch issue. They were fantastic. Manny went step by step through the diagnostic process with me. Really appreciated his patience and full transparency. Mikey, Manny and I discussed all the options with pricing beforehand. Having people who care so much is amazing. The quality of their work is outstanding. read more

Five stars. I'm very particular about my car, and Bellmore Tire & Auto was great to deal with. Johnny and Mikey were very helpful, and Dave did great work. They got me every specialty fluid and filter I asked for without flinching, which I really appreciated. On this visit, I had a New York State inspection, wheel replacement, synthetic oil change and filter, brake flush, and replacement of PCV hoses. The whole experience was smooth, professional, and honest--great service and quality work. Highly recommend. read more

I am extremely happy that I found this business. I cam in for tires and an oil change and I was back in my car at 10 AM. Mike and his team did a great, efficient and CLEAN job. I got two tires mounted and balanced and installed for a great price. I also got a ride home so I did not have to hang around and wait. That's what I call customer service. Keep up the great work. I will be back again read more

Excellent service. Completely satisfied. Highly recommend and will be back with all my cars and family cars. I have a new mechanic!

Just moved. Got an oil change and it was a 10/10 experience. Incredible owner. Will be my new mechanic.

Absolute worst shop I have ever gone to. I should've known, a skellmore shop always spells out trouble. Let me compile a list of everything that went wrong. I call Wednesday October 9th. I am assured by Mikey a simple alignment, tire rotation, brake pads, and rotors will be done within a "few hours" from drop off. Drop the car off at 8am sharp October 10th, where it sits... for 10 hours. When I text Mikey asking if it's ready, he ignores the question and asks me to leave a 5 star review. Hilarious. I then go to pick up the car only to find out they forgot to do the alignment! Mistakes happen, right? I'm told the reason for this error is because only "BRAKE PADS" was written on the RO report. Welp when I dropped off the car 10 hours prior, I noticed that, had a feeling it was going to be an issue, and wrote underneath "ALIGNMENT AND TIRE ROTATION AS WELL". Guess no one at this dump can read English. I am then assured by Orlando the mechanic that he will align my car the following morning straightaway. It's now October 11, I drop my car off, Orlando is now nowhere to be found, some old white guy looking like a wannabe DT begins to tell me how one of my tires must've been replaced because the thread life doesn't match the other three tires. Starts acting all confused once I tell him "all four of these tires were put on at the same time about 6 months ago". Suddenly the thread isn't a problem. Again I am told this will be done in a timely fashion. Drop the car off at 8, not ready until after 12. Lo and behold, they couldn't even do an alignment properly. Vehicle now veers to the right! Car drove better pre "alignment". I now have to take it to Sunrise tire and auto who actually know what they are doing. I should also mention, my front brake pads screech like a banshee when I'm braking, so that needs to be redone as well. Also attached are the before and after alignment specs, before being how the car was after taking it to this shop. Mikey also pays for his 5 star reviews, and tries using that as his saving grace when his backs against the wall. TLDR; this shop won't last. Mechanics don't know what they're doing, and no matter how nice Mikey may be, he could give a shit less about his customers. Not the first time a skellmore mechanic with 5 star reviews only screwed me over, but it'll definitely be the last. read more

Stopped by Bellmore Tire and Auto on my lunch break to get a tire checked. They serviced me immediately and were very kind and friendly.

I sent my dad here to get his car inspected and to fix whatever the lit up icon on the dash needed. Turns out he just needed air in tires. The dealer would have taken such advantage of him. My father was so thrilled with this business. He'll never go anywhere else. The nicest, honest guys. My whole family goes to this shop. read more

I showed up without an appointment for an oil change and they took me immediately, and I decided to also have my tires rotated, and the prices were superb for a full synthetic oil change only $59 and $40 for a tire rotation... Not beating that price anywhere.... Everyone was super friendly -I felt I was in the Cheers version but at an Auto Repair place. read more

I had a problem with the battery on my car and needed it replaced , I live near this shop and went by to talk to them. Explained my problem and my dissatisfaction with using Firestone. The guys in the shop were extremely helpful with replacing my battery and testing it in front of me. They took care of me immediately and I was on my way within minutes. They replaced the battery for less than Firestone quoted me. Quality customer service. Knowledgable and honest technicians are just a few things i experienced here. Would give 10 stars if i could . -Joe read more

Is it possible to give this dump 0 stars? Went here for an inspection, while I'm waiting I hear one of the mechanics tell the creepy old man (who I'm assuming is somehow the owner) they managed to snap a customers hubcap completely off while trying to check their tire pressure. Creepy old man's response was "well as long as the customer didn't see" with the customer standing right there. Christ, how can you run a business so poorly? After peeling out of there as fast as humanly possible and taking my business elsewhere, I found out the 5 star google reviews are all either paid for or fake. read more

Before meeting the guys here I had a mechanic who was very unreliable and never took into my time as a customer. Then I went to a place with incompetent service and folks that couldn't care less about customer service (Mavis). Finally upon giving up my wife found Bellmore tire and auto and I said what do I have to lose. Long story short our vehicle had a problem that kept getting pushed off and no one can rectify it. The owners at Bellmore Tire and Auto definitely took the time to figure it out and help from start to finish. If you want service with a straight forward group this is the place to go to. Both my vehicles are running better and they are brutally honest but won't rip you off. They break it down step by step and give you honest opinions. I was able to leave my car and get it when they said it would be finished. Not to mention the clean waiting area and the complimentary coffee and drinks. They really know how to treat everyday folks and not beat you over the head with pricing. Itemized bills and what was done is their forte. Finding solutions to the problems are their knack. It's refreshing to find a place like this in Bellmore gives you the straight answer mechanics of old! read more
