Gregg’s Tire & Auto

Gregg and his team are the epitome of what a mechanic should be. The other day I needed to mount new tires on my wife’s car. The mechanic called me back saying my previous rear left tires were shredded and I’d need new struts. Checking under my car, I knew my struts were fine so I brought it to the dealer who told me I’d need new almost everything for the back left suspension for a grand total of $ 1800. After yelling at my wife and raising my blood pressure, I figured what the heck get one more opinion. Unilocal’d mechanics near me and I come across Gregg’s shop. Walked in and in the same day Gregg got my car fixed for an hour at $ 95. I found myself a new mechanic who isn’t out to screw me. My biggest regret is not having gone to Gregg’s years back.

$ 233– that’s how much I paid for: two new westlake tires. Was it a ripoff? I don’t know anything about cars so I’m just telling you the price so you can decide.
My story: my parents Toyota Sienna minivan got a flat tire while I was driving and I didn’t discover until the car was shaking up and down on 150^th st. I quickly Unilocaled to try to find the nearest tire repair place and found this place 9 blocks away. I called and the guy who I’m assuming is Gregg said yea bring the car but I’m busy and I’m not dropping everything just to work on your problem. It was a little rude since I never even asked when he could get to it– I just asked if they were open cause I just wanted to make sure it existed before driving my flat there. Anyways I get there and they immediately start working on it which I appreciated. (One of the cars was finished earlier than he had expected). He said the tire is done because it’s bubbling and I would have to replace with a new one bc they didn’t have used ones in stock that matched the size. He also recommended I replace the other rear tire because it looked like that was on its last leg. Gave me a choice and I chose the cheapest option — the westlake tires for $ 233 (including taxes and some recycling fee). It would’ve cost about 60 bucks more if I chose Firestone tires. They rotated my tires as well. Didn’t take too long. Just glad it existed here cause I don’t know what I would’ve done if it wasn’t there.

Greg is a car genius! In a five second ride he knew exactly what the problem with my boyfriend’s car was, but said he may not have it ready the same day (he dropped it off mid afternoon). No biggie, right? Well within the hour he got a call saying the car was ready! Gotta love him and his service.

I am so thankful to Gregg’s for their wonderful, excellent service! My elderly mom, who still drives, was panicked when she got a flat, had her spare put on by AAA, but didn’t know what to do about the fixing the flat or purchasing a new tire. I told her to call Gregg’s…and she did! She drove to the station and they examined the tire, fixed it, replaced the spare with the fixed tire, and treated her with the utmost care and respect. Many places would have taken advantage of an elderly woman but Gregg’s was terrific. Thank you for your excellent service and know I will be recommending you to everyone in the area!

Forgot to mention in my previous review that Gregg is a car buff, and has been working on cars since his teens, so his mechanical knowledge is deep. And his enthusiasm for cars carries over to his business. When a set of tires I had chosen (from online research) and ordered through him came in, he called and said, «Phil, these are awesome tires!»
Seriously, you don’t get that kind of feeling at other repair shops.

Just drove to work and the break light appeared. I called and Gregg took care of my break fluid so I could drive home. He fixed it expeditiously the next day. Great service that can be hard to find around these parts!

Excellent service including professionalism, courtesy, honesty. Would highly recommend to others in need of a good mechanic.

FOUND A NEW MECHANIC.
This is a small mom/​pop type shop with only two (2) lifts so you really need an appointment. But, if you want to meet and find honest mechanics, who do good work, and you feel you can trust, look no further. I found them solely from reviews online and they were trustworthy as I can attest to myself.
I only needed minor work done but it was done by appointment, fast, phone calls were made to explain what i needed and there were no issues. I would not come here for minor things such as an oil change for example due to the wait time or for anything that is emergent/​urgent. but if you want a good trustworthy mechanic to find and solve your problem, look no further.
labor $ 90/​hour. — standard.
parts– they will help you here to find parts at reasonable prices and not over charge as some shops do.
you can’t bring parts on your own to fix fyi which is the case with some shops.
i had rear rotors/​pads done last week by another shop for that who would accept my own parts bought privately at cost.
good luck.

I have been going to Gregg’s for years. Absolutely LOVE the service and quality of work! For example, My Jeep would not start this morning and I had it towed over for a diagnostic. It was a really simple issue and was fixed and ready fast!
If you are looking for quality auto repairs in the Glen Oaks area, definitely give Gregg’s Tire & Auto a call. You will NOT be disappointed!
I would rather give my hard earned money to this family owned «Mom & Pop» shop that fatten the pockets of some «no-​face» conglomerate corporation that doesn’t care about your vehicle.
Thanks a million Gregg!
Keep up the fantastic work!

My car battery died this morning (Happy Monday!!!) and after calling AAA for a jump, I dropped it off at Gregg’s for a replacement. They took care of things in about two hours and were very friendly and professional. I work in the area and it’s been pouring rain all day, so they dropped me off at the office and picked me up when my car was ready. I’ll be needing an oil change and a brake check soon, definitely taking my car back to Gregg’s.

Gregg and the guys here are top notch. They give great service and are fair with pricing. I would recommend them to anyone. They also do State Inspections!

I am a single female not originally from NY who had originally been taking my ’01 Toyota Corolla to the dealer. After getting sick of paying the inflated dealer prices, I then went by AAA’s recommendation of a local service station, but found that I was treated in a manner that was quite condescending and dismissive, in addition to having the experience of occasionally being leered at. The worst was the ‘additional’ problems that were found whenever I brought my car in for even routine service like an oil change. Add insult to injury, but then they jacked up the prices of the parts and took an extensive amount of labor time to complete whatever repair I supposedly needed.
Flash forward to this past Tuesday when I called Gregg, explained my situation and my frustration, was patiently listened to, and then given an appointment only two days later, though he offered to look at my car that same day just to make sure it was still safe.
Service today was beyond a pleasure from start to finish-​I was greeted with respect and courtesy, contacted every step of the way, given solid advice and thorough explanations, and charged extremely fairly. My car was completed the same day, with Gregg himself even going to Toyota for the parts needed. Before I even paid I was taken step by step and shown everything that had been done, and the old parts even saved for my inspection. Gregg reassured all of my fears and anxieties, and requested that I contact him with any questions or concerns about my car, the work performed, or anything in between.
To top it all off, I was even offered a ride to and from work!
I absolutely without a hesitation or qualm recommend Gregg’s Tire and Auto. Gregg and his staff are very knowledgeable, dedicated, and caring guys who really are there to provide QUALITY SERVICE to the customer. Even after reading the reviews, my expectations were beyond exceeded, and I have pretty high standards!
Definitely call ahead and schedule an appointment, though, as a previous reviewer recommended.
Thanks Gregg!

Gregg and his crew do great work. Get this: He talked me OUT of an expensive job and he’s done many other things to try to save me money. He’s honest, upfront and goes out of his way to give the best service at the best price. My mother and I have been going to him for years and wouldn’t go anywhere else.
Do yourself a favor and give this business a shot.
