Reviews of Long Island Auto Repair (Tires)

Dane Keating

I am pleased to know “JP”, the owner of “Tires of Long Island / Long Island Auto Repair”, an auto-repair and used-car dealership. Our family met JP, as he left his business unattended to kindly assist my wife and daughter who broke down a block from his shop – all while refusing payment! Our customer-mechanic relationship then quickly evolved from annual NYS inspection, to auto repairs, and eventually purchasing a car from his lot. Before I met JP, I was wary of acquiring a used car given the uncertainty that comes with such a purchase. He assured me however that he mechanically services all cars before sale, including body work along with internal and external professional detailing. I purchased a Toyota Camry from him in February 2017 and after eight months, I am still very satisfied with it. The car is mechanically sound, very clean throughout, and looks and drives great! JP is so focused on selling a quality product that he insisted on replacing the hood of the car before releasing it to me even though I did not mind taking the car “as is.” From a repair standpoint, I admire his honesty as I have experienced instances where what initially was thought to be a “big fix”, turned out to be a simple adjustment at no charge. If you are looking for honesty, competence, quality, and an overall positive car-buying or auto repair experience, look no further than JP of Tires of long Island / Long Island Auto Repair.

They provide excellent service at a reasonable price. Always willing to provide a solution that will not hurt your pocket. JP has an excellent mechanic on staff and has great prices on tires.

A few days ago my car was having trouble starting and my mechanic who now I know is honest and one the best mechanics quoted me 1300 -1500 for a time chain change, I really didn't have the money I was told by the manager at Auto Zone in Baldwin NY to call Long Island Auto Repair and they would give me a better price, he said that they fix and sell cars and know what they are doing and would give me a good price to keep me coming back. Against my better judgement I called there and spoke to the owner PJ who told me over the phone that my car wasn't starting because of the TIME CHAIN, he said it would be extremely rare for my Time Chain to break, so I believed him. As soon as I arrived he had us speak with his mechanic Carlos to explain the problems i was having. Carlos said he was working on the same car I have because the Time Chain broke, that was the owners 1st lie to me. The mechanic Carlos told me that my car would start if the chain was damaged or broken. That the was the owners 2nd lie to me, I should have left then, but I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. The next day Carlos calls me and says he diagnosed the car and it was the Time Chain and it would cost me $3000 because he would have to put a new engine. I told him it wasn't worth it I didn't have $3000. He said if you want I can talk to the owner and we can take if off your hands, because we fix and sell cars here. I knew right then and there he wanted to discourage me from fixing it so he can buy it from me to fix and sell for profit. THESE GUYS ARE CROOKS! THEY SCAM ARTISTS AND LIARS!! Carlos do you want me to put the parts back and I said yes. I told I would have call towing to pick up my car. My mechanic called me and said why did you let some one take your car apart. I didn't know what he meant. My mechanic said my car started and now he couldn't get to start because Carlos ripped the Time Chain out of my car when he got it. My mechanic had pictures of the car before I had it towed to LI Auto Repair and took pictures when it went back to his shop. He said the mechanic at LI Auto Repair ripped my Time Chain out of my car and never put the parts back in place, it was in complete disarray. I was shocked because Carlos while trying to discourage me said all the parts are dissembled do you want me to put them back and I said yes. He was probably pissed he didn't get to achieve his devious scheme to get me to sell the car to him so he can fix and sell my car for profit. THESE GUYS ARE DISHONEST MEN AND THE OWNER AND HIM CREW ARE JUST OUT TO DISCOURAGE YOU WITH GOUGING REPAIR PRICES SO THEY CAN TALK YOU INTO SELLING YOUR CAR TO THEM AND THEY CAN FIX AND SELL IT FOR THERE PROFIT. CROOKS THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE...STAY FAR AWAY FROM THESE GUYS

Went on a busy Saturday to get my window fixed and JP helped me to get in and get out. He was upfront about the service and what needed to be done and in the waiting area was coffee and tea and whole lot of other snacks should I have needed it. They had granola bars and chips, water, and mints. Everything was so clean and the employees were so down to Earth. Will definitely be back for all my car concerns

DAVID SMITH

Many a thanks is owed to JP, Wendy and the crew at Baldwin Tire & Auto Repair. I caught a random flat last Friday. I [barely] rolled into JP's store on a donut. He and his crew had my tire plugged and back on my car in moments. Quick. Fair pricing. Family owned business and good people. Located right next to the Baldwin LIRR train station. Support these guys!

Nicholas Termini

The first time I went here, I had a transmission light on the dash. JP ran diagnostics on it, reset the computer and the problem went away. Extremely honest guy, I have since been back to his brother for a tire installation and back to JP for a full brake job and wheel alignment. There are very few good honest mechanics out there and I am recommending them to anyone I know that needs auto repairs.

Julia Carpenter

I came for the second time and I was satisfied again. The service was top notch as always and the price good as normal!

Jennifer De Pascale

Once again I was satisfied.. I walked in and asked them to look under my car and see what the problem was. JP the owner was so friendly and took my car right away! Took 10 minutes and lucky nothing too serious and I was on my way!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM TO EVERYONE!!!

I have been coming to this place for years. The service is always top notch, the people are kind, friendly and always willing to work with you, and they are very reasonable with pricing. I wouldn’t trust anywhere else.

Latreece Kp

J.P is great! Really personable and professional. He really works with you, definitely not the type of shop that will rip you off leaving you with even more issues with your vehicle! I’m a woman so it’s easy for people to want to take advantage as they may feel I don’t really know what’s going on. I had an alternator issue with my VW Jetta and Long Island auto repair really took care of my car . They diagnosed the issue and got down to the actual problem fast! After 7 years of being a baldwin resident, I’m so happy I finally found a local mechanic I can trust! No b.s

Lance Williams

Shawn Curwen

JP and his team are really good at assessing the job, quoting and getting my car back on the road. They have been my "go to" repair shop for a few years now. Their customer service and pricing is very competitive. They get me out of there in time to do all the important things in my busy day. Thanks for a continued great experience.

Great experience! I went in for a car inspection because my engine light was on. I was quoted a very high seriously outlandish price at another shop to get my car to pass inspection just off of reading my 3 codes that popped up. I doubted it, and knew it something wasn't right. I was lucky enough to be referred to a mechanic named JP at, Long Island Auto Repair. This shop & mechanic are very professional and very, very honest! They offer straight forward fair pricing. JP fixed the issue at a very fair cost for me. It was a pleasure meeting him. I'll be dealing with this shop for now on. I had very bad experiences with mechanics over the years with some mechanics overcharging, and pulling off rip-off schemes. I highly recommend this auto repair shop!

C Fortune

Trusting your mechanic....priceless! This family business is like having FAMILY in the business! JP and his team genuinely care about meeting your needs -- not lining their pockets. They're professionals that really know what they're doing and have mastered the DYING art of providing outstanding customer service....ZERO complaints here! They've been servicing our cars for years and they don't disappoint...they're reliable, always courteous and extremely accommodating. Your search is over!

Nicholas Mirissis

Found a great mechanic who is greatly blessed and honest. He is someone who is completely trustworthy and not only fixed a very difficult problem to my Chevy trailblazer but saved me $ crazy money. This is my 5 star mechanic, thank you CARLOS for your expertise and being a friend.

Amalya Winters

I've yet to have a negative experience with the service provided at this establishment and my car has been serviced a number of times . The owner is knowledgeable, courteous, and respectful of your time. Services are rendered at the time and cost estimates provided once your vehicle's issue has been assessed. I will continue to recommend there services to anyone I know!

Valerie B.

Every time I come here I feel like I'm getting trustworthy advice and not getting taken advantage of. Definitely recommend.

2002 Silverado 2500HD housing an LS motor with a laundry list of issues (knock sensor & wiring, front & rear main seal leaks, exhaust manifold leak, engine misfire, O2 sensor & loose wiring, just to name a few) and JP's top notch mechanic Carlos knocked it out of the park. He was meticulous when going through the work required for this truck to run and to run RIGHT, not just pass inspection for me to return for more work. I was constantly updated about the work and Carlos carefully explained what was being done. I would highly recommend LI Auto Repair to anyone needing automotive service.

The three most important things to a customer in a mechanic: honest service, honest service, and honest service. Translation: they know what they’re doing, charge reasonable prices, won’t turn a small defect into an unnecessarily big and expensive repair. I use them mostly for routine maintenance (oil changes, state inspection, and the inevitable brake jobs), but also (thankfully infrequent) non-routine repairs. I bought two complete sets of tires (for two cars) from them, based on J.P. offering me several different brands and then recommending one after discussing my particular tire needs (type of driving, annual mileage); definitely didn’t try to push the expensive ones. I also had them do a “major routine service” which cost hundreds less than what a dealer would have charged. Overall, a great place to do business with.

I ran to LI Auto Repair after my AC broke, during an extremely HOT weekend in NY this summer. They were the FIFTH place I'd been to in a day that was full of auto repair shops that just couldn't help me, stating I needed a compressor they couldn't get (On a Honda Accord, really?!), and I was boiling in my car all day from driving around Queens, Nassau and Suffolk counties. I found LI Auto Repair on a google search, called and spoke to someone who told me at noon on a Sunday to come in and he'd help me. I drove as fast as I could from Seaford, and upon getting there, was told within five minutes what the issue was, how long it would take to fix, and that I wouldn't leave there without my AC working. A young man named JP personally stood by me through the whole experience, and he himself even drove around for an HOUR before finding me a compressor for my car. He not only provided me with EXCEPTIONAL service by driving around for me to get the part, but he and his staff stayed until after closing hours were listed just to get my car fixed. I've never had such an amazingly satisfying experience at any auto repair shop, and felt like I was being treated with some of the best customer service I'd ever had. THANK YOU JP (Seriously, he was AMAZING) AND EVERYONE, and I'll be bringing my car back there for EVERYTHING!

I was really upset after getting into a minor accident and destroying the rim of my brand new car. I ordered the piece online and came to Long Island Auto Repair to have the rim placed on to my existing tire. Being a female I’m always scared to go to car shops alone because not knowing a lot about cars makes me and easy prey for overpricing scams which has happened many times before. Although I bought my boyfriend with me, JP the owner took me right away (which I’m used to spending at least an hour and a half every time I go somewhere, even for minor routines). Although this really shouldn’t have take long it was nice that he walked me through his entire shop and let us watch him fix my problem. He was genuine and really nice and the price was perfect. He even threw in a piece I needed at most cost since it was my first time at his shop. My visit took all of 15 mins and I was on the road again! I’m really happy with my service here and have already told my family who has a lot of vehicles that always need something done to use the services at Long Island Auto Repair going forward :)

Alden King

On point, On budget, On time!!!

Lance Fray

Love this place. JP and his crew are exceptional people. I've always wanted a mechanic I can trust and I've found it.

Great shop. All the mechanics are very knowledgeable. They are a family owned business who treat their customers like family. Customer service is amazing. JP truly cares about his clients. They really take their time to explain what's wrong and to diagnose to begin repairs. Absolutely fantastic job!
