We went this morning to the local dodge dealership since we have a dodge eco-diesel and they told us they can't do anything for use since it's from Canada and out of basic warranty. We drove to multiple places that ended up being closed and got referred to upper lakes tire. Thank goodness! Brian was beyond helpful! Even though he said he didn't do much with diagnosing, he came out and ran the codes for us. This is a common problem so he was able to clear the code for us so we can get home and get it back to the dealer who gave us the warranty. To top it off, he didn't even charge us! Thank you Brian and the staff at upper lakes tire, highly recommend!

I took my car in here to have 4 new tires put on. I was in the area visiting family as it was…read moreChristmas time, and my brother looked at my tires and said they were bald and I needed to replace them ASAP. My brother suggested this place and when I called they said they could get the tires and install them that day (even though it was Christmas Eve if I remember correctly) - AWESOME! I took my car in and they completed the work promptly. I was happy with everything. Fast forward about 6 months and I was due for routine maintenance at the dealership (Lexus). Shortly after I dropped it off, they called to ask if I'd recently gotten new tires. I informed them that I had and they told me that whomever had installed them had broken the hub lock. They gave me the broken piece when I came to pick up my car and it was covered in rust where it was broken, so I believe that they (Lexus dealership) didn't break it themselves and try to pass it off as someone else's mistake. Anyway, it cost me $160 to replace it! Also, they told me that I'm lucky I didn't get a flat while I was driving because neither I or the tow truck guy would have been able to remove the tire due to the broken part. Giving 2 stars because they WERE able to accommodate me during the holidays and I appreciate that. However, to let me drive off knowing (they knew...) they'd broken that part is AWFUL. I could have been stranded! I totally understand that mistakes happen, such is life. But to not fess-up and make it right? Sorry, but that's just bad business.

They replaced the spark plugs, but during that process they damaged the valve covers. About 10 months later, the damage led to an oil leak. I had my trusted mechanic downstate look at it, and he told me the valve covers had clearly been damaged during that original service and recommended I request a refund. April 2026: I returned to the shop and showed the owner, Diana, the faulty parts. At that time, she acknowledged the issue and said she believed we deserved some money back for the mistake. May 2026: When we followed up, we spoke with Pat (the owner), and the conversation went completely differently. Pat immediately became confrontational and started yelling, saying he "don't give refund checks." Instead, he expected us to drive the truck 250 miles--while it's leaking oil--so he could fix the problem he created himself. The attitude and lack of professionalism were honestly shocking. Mistakes can happen, but how a business handles them matters. Between the poor workmanship and the way we were treated afterward, I would not recommend this shop.

They were able to trouble shoot and diagnose the issue in less than a week. Even though they didn't have the part in stock (supply chain issues - not on them) I was still able to get the vehicle back well under the original 2-week estimate for getting it into the shop. All along they kept me informed and updated on the work. I am extremely pleased with this place.

It's clear that there is excellent Leadership and it shows in every part of every experience. I've never been taken care of better by any Auto Service Provider. I can't recommend these folks any higher! Thank you for everything you do and have done for me and my family. Finding a quality, trustworthy Auto Service Provider is one of the toughest parts of moving to a new town. Thank God I found Brad and his Team when I moved to NE MI 7yrs ago. I've taken five different vehicles here for service over the years. One of them was a BMW M5 Wagon which no one up here other than the Dealership in Petoskey wanted to touch. Brad and his Team never said no and solved my problem every time I took that car in for service. I've never had to be concerned about quality, pricing or my car being done on time. Thanks to everyone at the Gaylord Belle Tire!

The math is simple by the time I'm ready for new tires I will get 3 more rotations. That is two full days of work. You do the math.
