Brought in my rims with the old tires on them to have the four new tires installed. I arrived about ten minutes early and immediately, the person at the front counter had me drive around to an open bay door and we unloaded the rims/tires. I was told about an hour to install the new tires. After an hour, I asked how much longer. He went in the shop and came back and told me a few more minutes. Another half hour goes by and I ask again. He goes in the shop and tells me they are on the second tire!?! WTH? I asked him if he thought this was acceptable. He said no and walked away from me. Another half hour later and my four tires were done. It is completely ridiculous to take TWO hours to remove the old tires from the rims and put new tires on and balance them. I had an appointment. What is the purpose of an appointment if it's going to take this long?? Like I've already said, I brought them in. They didn't have to lift the vehicle and take them off or reinstall them on the vehicle. Also, the next morning, before I drove my truck, I checked the pressure in the tires since they were so incompetent with the install. Yep...sure enough..they were all over filled. They were anywhere from 38-40 psi. That's 3-5 psi OVER what they should have been. There are a lot of tire places and I will advise anyone who will listen to go ANYWHERE else and avoid the complete clown show of Belle Tire in Valparaiso, IN. A good price isn't always a good deal.

    I'm surprised at the negative feedback on Levin Tire. Maybe they've address the issues that other…read morereviews commented on. I don't know. I do know that over the past two weeks, we've needed work done on both our vehicles and we received excellent service! What was outstanding about their service (and now sets them apart from the other auto service places in Valparaiso - namely Brown's Tire and Heinold & Feller) is that the folks at Levin didn't try to upsell my wife on anything else (such as trying to sell her two more tires, transmission fluid change, etc.). The people at Brown's Tire had told her that she need to replace the timing belt asap and that her car needed about $1,500 worth of other work done. When she asked the mechanics at Levin, they could have easily played on her concerns by reiterating the apparent nonsense Brown's Tire told her. Instead, the assured her that, while she should have the timing belt changed in the future, it didn't need to be as an emergency. They also encouraged her to wait on the other items Brown's had told her needed to be done. On our second vehicle, we had purchased the fuel tank strap with the intent of putting it on ourselves. We weren't able to do that and I called Brown's Tire to see if they would put it on for me. Brown's told me that they would not put these straps on for me, that I would have to purchase the parts from them (they quoted me $150 for them; I paid $40 for them online) and then they quoted me another $150 for labor, for a total of $300. After my wife's great experience with Levin's, I thought I'd ask them. Not only were they willing to use the parts I had purchased, but they charged on $73 for the labor to do the work! Perhaps the biggest factor is finding an auto repair shop you want to stay with is trusting them. After working with Levin Tire's, we trust them and will be using them going forward.

Last month at the beginning of April, I was sexually harassed by an employee at this establishment. I will attach photos here of messages he sent me via my personal phone number by copying it from my profile that was made by the store. Without my consent or pre-approved knowledge this employee paid for a service that I was entrusting the storefronts mechanics to do. This is an older gentleman that had previously been speaking with me about his wife and elderly father in a friendly, NOT inappropriate, manner. Given the light hearted conversation, I consider his act to be one of generosity and age superior kindness. However, once I left the shop is when he began messaging me. As you can see from the messages, I offered to pay him back for this unexpected and unauthorized act he did of his own free will. He proceeded to request sexual favors in return for his decision to pay for my car service. I was dumbfounded and did not respond for a period of time, in which he repeatedly messaged me until I did respond. In response I reflected on how inappropriate the request was. I unfortunately had to encounter him again the next morning, as the shop's team was servicing my vehicle once more. He "apologized" over text and said he too would be professional. All in all this was a terrible, uncomfortable and outright disgusting experience that I had from this shop. It triggered experiences of sexual harassment and assault that have happened to me in the past year, recent and traumatic enough to induce a panic attack response the more I had to reckon with seeing this man again the next day. I would not recommend their services to anyone, but I ESPECIALLY would not recommend these services to any woman, young women especially, due to their own vulnerability. I was leaving the state and moving across the country, I was alone with no family near my home, and this employee tried to take advantage of that in a humiliating and degrading way. To all that read this, please stay safe.
