Have been taking my car to Wilguess for years & they are the best and most reasonable place in the whole city (to my knowledge).

They told me that it wasn't a big deal, and that it was only a few pounds. I told them, that I was driving 800 miles and could not afford a mistake, could they please check it? They told me that if I had another problem, to stop at any Walmart in the country. Well, a couple of hours down the road, and the light came on again. I continued driving, but could feel the car pulling left. I was also pulling a motorcycle trailer. The closest Walmart on my route, was the Terre Haute location. I got there less than an hour before closing. They were very busy. I explained the situation. They lent me a floor jack, so I could unhook my trailer and drive up the car to the doors. They put me in line, and within a short while, checked my tires. It turns out, that the other store had not properly installed my valve stem! The Terre Haute store checked out my tires, and quickly got me back on the road. They went over and above by helping me align the trailer ball, and hook the trailer back up to my car. Excellent job.

I'm giving a great BIG shout out to Gage. My mom and I had an appointment yesterday to have pre-ordered tires installed. Gage was to be our mechanic. He had her car prepped and ready to begin installation. My mom - 83 years old - wasn't feeling well. Gage couldn't have been kinder, more compassionate. He rescheduled us and quickly sent us on our way. When I returned today - by myself - Gage came out to the reception area and checked on Mom's health. He told me to wish her well and then promised he would take care of her vehicle quickly so I could get back home to her. His small kindness - in a world gone mad - really touched me. Thanks Gage! read more

AMAZING!!! Ray (the manager) found me on the side of the road with a flat tire. He changed it for me. He made sure I safely arrived at the store (I was a LONG way away). His staff stayed over to make sure my car was done properly. They were awesome, too! If they were aggravated about having to stay a little late, I sure didn't know it. They were just all around good guys. I got a set of 4 tires and an alignment at an UNBELIEVABLE rate just to make sure I was safe. Ray even followed up with me that night and the next day! I'm usually not into "chain stores" but he WON ME OVER!! I will take all 3 of my cars there from now on. Thanks again, Ray! read more

I was traveling cross country on a route I do not usually take and noticed a very slight difference in inflation with one of my tires. Belle tires was near my hotel, and they said they could check my tires without an appointment. I went in first thing in the morning. I guess everyone shows up first thing, so I did have to wait for some time. In the end they found a small leak in the tire seal, which they repaired, and they charged me nothing! I was surprised about that, since they knew I was not local, and they would not expect repeat business. The customer service was great, and I was able to complete my journey worry free. read more

I am pleased with the Belle Tire's service. I have an older SUV that needed new struts. I dropped my SUV off at 8am. Before noon I received a quote. It was more than fair. I have some auto experience and had estimated a higher price. They called me before the end of the day. The job was done. The next day my wife and I did a 200-mile road trip. No problems and it feels brand new. This is the second time I've used Belle Tire and both times they did what they said they'd do. I'm happy. read more

We have taken the best care of it wanting it to last many years. In 2022 the paint started peeling off overnight in sheets on the top of the car. We took it to Toyota who told us they would fix it. They had the car 3-4 days and only repainted the very top of the car where the sunroof was. Last year the hood started peeling in the same way. I took the car to Scott's custom colors and he offered to paint it for $500. So I did the hood out of my own pocket. Now the back passenger door is peeling and I'm being quoted $2500.00 by several places to get this piece fixed. Toyota tells me the time limit for fixing this for them is up to this was a problem with the paint color blizzard pearl. It doesn't stick properly to the car. They have known about this issue for years. Many of their cars made before 2018 had this issue. Why didn't they paint the whole car when the issue began and I took it to them the first time or at the very least help me fix it now? I was told it would cost $10,000 to repaint my whole car. My car is basically ruined. Toyota has brushed me off. When I took the car in for them to take pictures, they told me they would get back to me within 2 weeks.
