Gabe was fast and did great work! I was very impressed with the service and will be back for more work

Gabe is one of the most honest and best mechanics that I ever dealt with. And he does great work. I have been dealing with Gabe since about 2009. When he had the shop by Walmart and he has worked in every car I have had. And my family's cars. You need work done got to Gabe. read more

My husband brought in my 2014 Honda pilot with some muffler issues. Took care of it immediately- very reasonable- super honest- highly recommend!! Thank you! Will be back for any service issues! read more

Super friendly service and honest inspection. I happened upon this place when my car engine overheated and this place had great reviews on google. Definitely didn't disappoint. The customer I met in line was a long time customer and had nothing but praises and I have to agree that my experience was great. Reasonable prices and efficient service read more

I would definitely recommend this place! My brother and mother use this place often but because I already had my personal mechanic I never used him. When my mechanic was unavailable, I called Gabe up. I had always heard he does not try to take advantage of the consumer and does only the work that is necessary. When I called to make an appointment, I spoke with Big Bird. Upon arriving, I was there to get shocks replaced. I planned to walk home and come back later but he did the work right there. I did not have cash but he did the work, gave me my receipt, and trusted me to leave with the car to get the money. I came back later with another car and got a drive shaft repaired. Drove home and it still felt funny. I took it back and Big Bird searched for a replacement part and asked me if I wanted used or new. It was done with ease. No worries! I will be back. read more

Another great job done to my car by Gabriel, I drive 35 miles from home just to get to this shop. Highly experienced and you will deal directly with the owner... recomendedddddddd read more

See all

Gabe and Bellwood Auto are fantastic - I feel lucky to have found someone so easy to work with in the area. I had a problem that easily would have costed double at my previous mechanic and with his help finding the lowest priced parts possible paid half of the other estimate. I thank my neighbor every day for the recommendation!!! Honest, reliable, flexible and professional - what more could you ask for? I am excited to have found someone to work on my car that I know won't be charging me as much as they can - they have a loyal customer base for a reason... read more

My car had it's Check Engine light on and I needed it resolved asap before taking it to the Smog Check station. I had heard great things about Bellwood Auto Services and decided to take my vehicle there. Gabe inspected my car and performed a diagnostic test at an extremely affordable price. Turned out my O2 sensors were bad and that was it! He didn't try to take advantage of me whatsoever by bringing up other "potential problems." I would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting an honest mechanic! Thanks Gabe! read more

Been going to Gab for more then ten yrs with five of my cars. All the repairs on my cars have been cheaper then the rest but most of all Guaranteed read more

I do not live nearby but my car broke down at the gas station next door. It would not even try to start after I got out. I suspected the starter right away. I was worried about not knowing them but I figured I was stuck and they were literally right next door. The guy walked over and looked at my car in the gas station and was going to not take money if we got it started just with a jump or something. No go. He explains to me it is either the starter or the ignition switch. Says if it is the starter it would be 300 and be about 1.5 hours to do once they get it in. They did and I made it to work before noon. Great price and the squeezed me in as quickly as they could without warning to try and help me out. They were honest and upfront. Definitely would recommend and wish they were located closer to me so I could give them more work. read more

Gabe is the most honest technician I've known! He's serviced all my vehicles in the past including my business vehicles from auctions and they all sold:) thank you so much for all you've done for your family and mine. read more

My husband and I have been ripped off by too many mechanics over the years and we didn't know where to go when our car needed repairs. Our son-in-law told us to go see Gabe (his family has trusted him for years). We weren't disappointed! He's a hands-on owner/operator and has always given us great service along with the very best deal he can. He tells us the truth instead of making up stories like so many other mechanics do so they can line their pockets. We've been going to Gabe for the last 3-4 years now and are still shocked at how reasonable he is! We travel an hour to bring our cars to him but we know that it's worth the trip to get experienced work, an honest diagnosis at a fantastic price. read more

Brought my 2006 car in when Dealer asked $72.50 to diagnose major problem. Gabe found nothing wrong and explained everything! He knew condition of my car and possible problems that might happen down the road. Allowed me to make decision on trips, budget, and when to sell. His diagnosis cost very little. His advice is worth its weight in gold. He's my mechanic from now on. He was recommended by a friend in Chicago and I highly recommend him no matter where you live. read more
