I called back to speak to her supervisor and told him it was unacceptable that we could not get our car back today since she told me, I'll call you when it gets here. Making it sound like it was on its way and never once saying it could be a day or so from this morning. So I called back late in the afternoon trying to find out why I haven't heard back and she told me I couldn't get it until tomorrow. I explained that my wife needs it for work tomorrow and why wasn't I told that. She then said she did tell me, which she did not. So after she hung up on me I called back and I asked to speak to her boss. He was no better than she was in rudeness and professionalism. Years ago, I had dealt with them before and now remember what she was like that time too. They may do great work there but I wouldn't know it but I'll tell you what with those attitudes I will never go back there nor recommend them to anyone I know. I have never been treated so poorly by people who want to continue to do business in this town. On day two sometime just after 11 AM the lady from the front desk called with the estimate and we decided not to have the work done, she was angry and upset. I said I was leaving to pick up the car and that's when they told me it was taken to a subcontractor and she'll call me when it's back. I tried to interject that I would go pick it up, but she made it sound like it was already on the way. I was working and lost track of time and it got to be around 5 PM and I called back and she said the car is not there yet and that it would be there tomorrow morning. I told her that was unacceptable, because she knew my wife needed it to see patients as a traveling nurse. She said, I told you I'll call you when it's here and hung up on me. She knew from that morning that my wife was a traveling nurse and had patients to see the next day and needed the car but that didn't matter to her. Day three of dealing with Rich Lucas of Lucas Automotive Specialties and his representative at the front desk. I arrived at 8 AM, and another man was trying to help me but when Rich walked in he said I was wasting his time because I was looking for the best price for the work I want it done to the car and that they don't do estimates unless the work is being done there. (I ask you, what is an estimate for if you're gonna have to have the work done there and you don't have a choice once you get the estimate? No one I've ever dealt with before after getting an estimate done has demanded that I have to work done by them because they did the estimate. That is utter foolishness. So not only is he a mean old man he has deceitful business practices any uses fear and intimidation to try to get you to cave in to his view of things. We weren't even told until day two the car was taken to someone else to have the estimate done.) I went there at 8 AM to pick up the car and was told by Rich Lucas I don't listen because they said they would call me and no one called me. I said I understand but we need the car and I'll go pick it up. Rich said angrily, we don't work that way now get the "F" out as he stood up and pointed at the door. I said you're withholding my vehicle from me out of spite because we didn't have the work done here and I don't owe you any money, I'm calling the police. After the police came, he finally said the car would be there at 9 AM. I went back home and picked up my wife so she could leave straight from there. We arrived at around 8:40 AM and by 8:55 AM her car was still not there. At this point she took mine to see her patient and I waited inside where I could continue to watch the parking lot entrance. At around 9:20 AM I saw out of the corner of my eye Rich get up from the front desk and go back into the shop and then a few minutes later he showed up in the parking lot out front with my wife's car. Rich Lucas made me wait an additional 20 minutes, past the time he said the car would be there, knowing he had the car in the back the whole time. When he finally showed up with the car he had come from his back lot of which there is no access, except through the front entrance of which I have been watching since 8:40 AM. This means he is a deceitful, spiteful, lying, cheat. That's just my opinion after dealing with him for three days. It's also my opinion, based on my personal observations that he had my car the entire time and he was just being mean and spiteful.

This will be a very long review in order to include all info…read more.. This place used to be awesome... But over the last couple years the quality and integrity have drastically declined. Brought my jeep in because I thought the shocks were bad and had a check engine light, I was told the issue was a module for the air suspension. I was quoted about 2k to fix. It wasn't super important to me but I planned on keeping the vehicle so I just did it. Immediately after picking up the vehicle the engine light went on again and it was the same code. They looked at it again and said now I need some other 2k part. I told them I would have NEVER spend 4k to fix this and basically got screwed out of 2k. Fast forward, because I did have some history with this place I assumed what happened may have been a fluke but I was extremely wrong. Brought the same vehicle in because I had a code for misfire in cylinder 5 and the engine had a tick sound. They inspected and told me it just needed plugs and coils. I have a voicemail from them specifically stating a tune up will definitely fix my issue and it was almost 1,100! I said go ahead and do the work. Before I even picked up my vehicle they called and said I still have a tick and they can inspect more of course with added fees. At this point I was very mad that they misdiagnosed AGAIN and still intended to charge me full price. I called a friend who is a mechanic in Michigan and called my local Jeep dealer and with only telling them I had a misfire they BOTH immediately told me it's because of the cam and rollers which is like a 7k job! I then did a very quick google search to verify this and it seems to be a very very common issue with this make and model. I was then told by the shop manager that John (the owner) told him if we were going to "act some kinda way" over this that he would remover the labor and only charge us for the parts and to never come back (still over $500 for nothing). We had no choice but to pay since the vehicle was held hostage until we paid. Needles to say I was NEVER planning to go back there and it's really disappointing how fast this shop went down hill and no longer stands behind their work.

Recently my automatic steering wheel telescoping feature in my Ford F150 King Ranch stopped working. An internet search indicated that the problem might involve pulling the entire steering wheel column. Not wanting to mess with that, I first took it to a new auto repair business right down the road from my house in Warrenville, IL. They simply couldn't figure out what the problem was even though I had researched it and told them that there was a good chance a gear was simply jammed. After two trips to them, they still misdiagnosed the problem. They charged me $150 for the misdiagnosis and were going to charge $1,300.00 for the repair even though they didn't know what the problem was (?)_ I had seen YouTube videos by BSG Automotive and Brian appeared to really know his stuff so I took my truck to them. It's about a 35 or 40 mile round trip but I'm sure glad I decided to have them check out my truck. We went to breakfast nearby while they diagnosed the problem. We got back to the shop within an hour and our truck was already in the parking lot and the diagnosis was complete. Not only that, but they fixed the jammed up gear during the diagnosis and determined that the jam caused the motor to burn out. They ordered a new motor. When the new motor arrived, they contacted me and they did the job while I waited the next day. Everything works fine again. But there's more to my experience. If I had taken my truck to the local shop, the telescoping motor would probably burn out again because, even though I told them to check for a jam, they said there was no jam. My total bill locally would have been $1,450 and the motor probably would have burned out again. BSG, on the other hand, diagnosed the problem in less than an hour for $100.00 and fixed the jammed gears during the diagnosis. When the motor was delivered, they replaced it while I waited for $710.00 (motor and labor). So, not only did BSG diagnose and fix the problem quickly, but they charged me $640.00 less than the local business which had demonstrated incompetence. Guess who I'm going to take my truck to in the future if it's to fix something I can't do myself. I highly recommend BSG Automotive. I can see why they have such glowing reviews. Nice people too!

I have used both chain shops and local, private-owned shops in the past but have received the best service and pricing from Belle Tire by far. They typically accept walk-ins at any point throughout the day and can tackle a range of issues from simple tasks like light bulbs/fuses; to oil changes; to any kind of tire/brakes maintenance; to mechanical/electrical issues; and many more. I purchased a full set of tires (4) from them at the beginning of June 2023 and purchased the tire insurance plan which I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone looking for tires. They have plugged my tires multiple times no questions and even replaced one completely. When they replaced it they also rotated the tires for free at the time as per the insurance. I'm not even certain exactly how much money it has saved me and will continue to save me in the future. They also replaced my front passenger ball joint and alignment which caused the car to now run as if it's brand new again. That we obviously paid for and their pricing was comparable/less than many other shops in the area for the work that needed to be done on the ball joint. I will be having them do my oil change this coming week and my mother is going to have them replace the brakes on her Mercedes SL550 AMG (which demonstrates how much we trust and support this garage). I would recommend them to anyone and everyone as their prices are competitive, employees are friendly, don't try to upsell on everything, and are extremely knowledgeable and flexible. If you are having any issues with your vehicle and/or need some kind of maintenance done, I would HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND BELLE TIRE (especially over any other mechanic shop in yorkcille that I have seen/been in/had work done on vehicles at). This shop and the workers go above and beyond to make sure eveyone is happy and seem to help people find the best (most affordable for what they want) option(s) for their vehicle(s). They don't require an arm or leg as payment and point out the differences between things or lack of difference for the best pricing for the consumer. My family are all starting to use Belle Tire, and I can see us sticking with the company so long as the essence of the company and pricing/policies don't get ridiculous. TLDR: Belle Tire is amazing and has fantastic pricing, perks, employees, and more. Highly recommend to anyone and everyone.
