Retail tire service near Dix Hills, NY

My car broke down in a parking lot about 2.5 miles from their location, called up in the morning, dropped off the keys, and that was it, about 3 hours later Dave called to let me know my starter needed to be replaced. The cost incl. having to tow the vehicle was inline with what I was anticipating. They also let me know about a couple of other issues I needed to take care of, and since they already had the vehicle and had earned my trust, I had them take care of everything. I'll definitely be going back...

I have been bringing my cars to Oakwood Car Care for as long as they have been open. I have always been treated professionally and with care. Joe , the owner is always both personable and helpful. Mike, the manager is friendly, efficient, caring, knowledgeably, and ever so helpful. He oversees the work and you almost never have to come back after a repair. They always go the extra mile to help you out. I would recommend Oakwood to anyone who wants honest and quality service. -Michael Gordon

Rich and his team are highly professional! I Had him do a safety check over my entire vehicle before a road trip. He gave me a thorough list of my vehicles issues and never pressured me into doing any work. We worked through what was important to keep the car going and what could wait for a later date. He has a very clean shop filled with friendly faces that remembered me by name after only meeting once, and most importantly gave a speedy repair that was affordable to keep a young college student on the road! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a honest mechanic in the area! This is the Place! Kevin Smith

Harvey is the man!!!

you couldn't even get my oil change right. I told ya my car needed 0W20. I told you in the beginning you didn't even listen. thank god I saw your guy grab the wrong oil (5W40) other wise I would have driven home without knowing my car got a wrong oil change . I also came for amsoil and you got me something completely different. The wrong oil you put in my car was not amsoil and the later one you changed was not amsoil either after you realized you made a mistake. The oil was something from a steel drum. who knows what's inside there and the guy who pump the oil out the drum didn't even know how much he should pump. at that point I already felt unsafe and I quickly googled another service center that had amsoil and was just a few miles away. I went there (my car was already driving weird tho) and the manager or supervisor immediately knew what oil my car needed and how much it needed after lookup in his computer. He brought the oil to me and it's exactly the amsoil my car uses. I changed the oil again there and what upset me again was that the tech told me the oil filter was leaking. What a nice job you have done. and after failing to perform this basic work, you still charged me 150$, for unknown quality of oil and unfit oil filter. do you even feel shame? stop throwing those BS canned messages like "Please call us at 516-518-5552" to show you care but in fact you don't at all.

I have had my car fixed at this shop numerous times. I would recommend them to anyone. It is always difficult to find a repair shop where you trust the people who are servicing your car...This is that place! They tell it like it is. No unneeded services or surprise extras when you go to pay the bill. To be fair, I had one uncomfortable situation arise with them. However, I was the one that made them uncomfortable (long story I wont bore you with) and once it was explained (professionally I might add), the situation was corrected and I continue to have my car serviced there. If there were 6 stars, they would deserve them. mike s. Southport, CT

JJ Presto mechanices are skilled, fairly priced and friendly. I feel fortunate that they help me take care of my car! Soemone referred me to them and I always refer them to friends.

I wish I had looked at the reviews to Pep boys before I sent my family to this place today. My parents came out to the Island to visit me and their battery died. We had to have the car towed Saturday 9/26 at 6:30pm to Pep Boys. They told us that there was no way they would get to it tonight before closing at 8pm, but they would look at it first thing in the morning. Although a battery swap wouldn't take that long the garage was full and we were at the bottom of the list when they closed in an hour and a half, so we took them at their word. With no hotel and limited space, my 60 year old parents slept on the coach. We returned today 9/27 at 9:45am. Mike the service manager and Justin another service tech seemed friendly and told us they were taking care of the car, so my father and I took a seat in their waiting room - thinking all was well. 11:15am, my father and I asked Mike if there was any update on the car. He nonchalantly told us that his mechanic put the car on the brand new lifts and popped the front driver tire. My father and I both asked why a battery change required a lift when the car and his reply was well we have to do that for all the cars. The mechanic started yelling at us that "we all make mistakes" instead of anyone saying "sorry we messed up, but we're going to take care of it." It was unbelievable. We had to ask him several times why the lift and Mike finally said for security reasons so the cameras can see the mechanics working on the car. However, a few minutes later Mike and the mechanic told us that they put it on the lift to check out a "cranking" they heard when they went to start the car. Meanwhile his tone while explaining was condescending and elitist. To add insult to injury, the didn't have a matching tire for the truck and they had to order it from Baldwin. Mike gave us a story that the delivery trucks only make one run on Sundays and that the tire wouldn't be here until Monday. He didn't want to accommodate us nor was he apologetic for his mechanic's error that we now had to pay for. Then a few minutes later said the guy would make another run and the tire would be in around 2:30/3. He kept changing his story and what was happening. I gave him my number to call to update us and said we would be back around then to get the car. At 3pm we called Pep boys and they told us the car wasn't ready, but provided no other information. We got back to Pep boys at 3:30 and Mike ignored us. He finally acknowledged us and told us that the tire wasn't in yet. After a few minutes, he said the truck didn't come with the tire at 2:45 so he sent one of his own guys to go get it. Why didn't they tell us this at 3? Why didn't they tell us this when we first walked in? We were upset and agitated with the situation. He still did not apologize. He was defensive and aggressive. It was clear that we were stressed and upset about the situation as my parents live over an hour away and have work on Monday. He knew that he had control and was clear to show us that he had us in his grasp. The situation continued to be unresolved. Mike threatened us and said that no one would work on the car until 6pm and it would be here another day. He even said that we had been harassing him all day - when he only called once to check on the status and we left the store at 11:45/12 in the morning. 4:30 - still no tire and not being serviced. The mysterious "crank" in the car was never checked or resolved. Mike didn't even ring us up when the car was finally finished at 4:50! He had another person close the sale again with no apology - nothing. He was abrasive, demeaning, dishonest, and aggressive. I can't believe he is a manager and that other people on here have complained about him yet he is still working. The whole experience was a mess. I will never go there again, neither will my family, and now everyone I know here will not be going there so far I have 14 cars that used to use Pep boys that will never use them again.
