Whitey’s Tire Service

I came to whiteys automotive to get an alignment and the staff couldnt be any more professional and knowledgable. Stefano was very informative and helpful.

This review is based on the knowledge they have on tires only because I’ve only been here for tire services. Continue reading for my experiences at this place.
The first time in 2012 – 13 I came here for 4 new tires on my 2004 Corolla, 4 new tires on my 1999 Ford Taurus, and 4 new tires on my 2009 Siena. Until today I went in for a flat fix where the nail was on the side on my tire. Prior to this place, I went to other places near my work place, they all said because the nail was on the side of the tire so it wasn’t fixable. Until I gave it a try to come here, the knowledge that this guy had was phenomenal. He said I only needed a patch on the inside of the tire or something like that. So he took the tire and he serviced it for about 15 minutes and put my spare tire back in my car I could go. The overall experiences I had was as what I expected because I went on Unilocal.I came in and one of the guys told me to drive into the garage and they do the tires right there.
Depending on what time of the day you go in, your car might be serviced on the street or in the garage. The following description is for the Corolla, Ford Taurus, and the Siena. So I pulled in the garage, the boss quoted me for 4 new tires which I expected he would recommend me the low-​cost tires which I was totally fine with. Upon the tires were being installed, I went over to see f there were any bumps or eggs on these brand new tires because it’s rather to be safe as a customer. When I was check for bumps and one of the guys didn’t seem pleasant. So I still did it anyway just because I know I rather want to be on the safe side. Whatever, I checked and I didn’t see anything so it was good. Tires were good for these three cars and it was super efficient. I was very happy with the knowledge and their quality of work, but not so the customer service part of it. I just wish they could put customers in front of everything else and I do believe that is how a shop can get customers to return. So that is why I can only give a 4 star instead of a 5.
So I hope this can help those who are looking for tire services out there. I would definitely recommend this place. Also, every time I go in there, everybody would automatically think that I don’t speak English because I am Asian? Lol anyway, I didn’t mind but that was funny how they have the same reaction every time they see me.

Excellent, Fast and professional service!!!
Had all 4 tires changed and was in less than 20 min!!!

Came here after one of my tires blew out from tire rack. Called the place and not only they had my tires but said can install it in 15 mins. I was shocked!
Drove up the service man had a spot open for me and I pulled in. I went inside spoke to Mario and ask if they can call tire rack so I can get my refund as well.
My car was done in 15 minutes, tire rack was called and I was on my way. I asked for my old tire back in case tire rack didn’t process my claim. Mario has my old tire bagged and placed in my truck.
Very professional, prompt and excellent place.

DO NOT GO THERE,
The lie and say is free balance and installation, but of course they include it in the tire price, service is bad, I bought 4 tires and they installed them on the street, I mean left my car out side on 3 jacks, the boss nice to you when you ask about the tires as soon they install the first tire he turn his back because he know you can’t cancel your order, prices more than other places, costco is cheaper, this a second time I go there, the first was 4 month ago and I came back to get only 2 tires, because both of them has an egg means they will blow up soon, I though I will get little discount, but he said no warranty, and told me you should get 4 tires, not only 2, end the story go to a place will stand behind their tires, any way I paid the price and not going there again.

This morning I felt like a Nascar driver!!! No, it’s not because I was recklessly driving the streets of NY. Continue reading and you’ll understand.
I purchased 4 winter tires online but went to Whitey’s to have them installed. Why I chose Whitey’s? I have been going there for years now and let’s say I am always satisfied.
Anyway, I got there this morning at 10:34 and two of the service guys hurried to the car and saw the new tires in the back seat. Ralph, one of the two, asked if I was having them installed and before the word «yes» was formed, Ralph was already jacking up the car.
The 4 tires were mounted and balanced on the rims then mounted onto the car, the ones taken off, bagged and placed on the back seat, the quite reasonable bill of $ 85 plus tax was paid and I was out by 10:56.
Why wouldn’t you want that kind of service?

I was referred to Whitey’s by a friend. GREAT service from the initial phone call to meeting them in person. I had the pleasure of speaking with Vinnie and Jr. at different times on the phone, as I was comparing prices. I checked out Mavis, Sears and Pep Boys, and they all told me that I needed to get 4 tires, when I only needed 2. Whitey’s was the only one to tell me that 2 was fine, as long as they were the same 2 in the front or back. Their prices were almost $ 30 less per tire, and they do not charge for installation per tire, as the others do, saving another $ 30 on the pair. When I got there, Jr. gave my son and me such a lesson on the wear of tires, but did not try to get me to purchase a more costly tire. He was very patient and thorough. Even while we were waiting for him, he showed the same patience with the customer before us. You can tell that he loves what he does, and really wants to educate his clients, not just sell a tire. Jr. has a passion for this business and people. I will definitely come back when it’s time to change my rear tires and anything else, and will tell everyone I know to take their business to Whitey’s. Thank you sooo much for being such a blessing.

This is now the second time I’ve used this place and I have nothing but positive feedback! Their tires are great (which I got on my first visit) and they welded my cracked rim quick and cheap on my second visit. They are friendly and efficient. Will definitely be back. I don’t write reviews often unless it is really deserved!

Came here because my check tire light came on. Turns out that tire has a gap and needed to be replaced. I asked the gentleman servicing me to check all my tires. And guess what? They all needed to be replaced smh.
What I didn’t like was the price. But hey that’s not their fault. Brand new tires are expensive. What I did like was he showed me why I needed new tires and didn’t try to take advantage because I was a female

I have been using Whitey’s for over ten years. Not only are they good for tires but they have an excellent full service automotive shop across the street. Stefano who runs the shop is a very nice guy to deal with.
My daughter turned me on to the shop when, after taking her transmission apart looking for a problem and finding nothing wrong, they did not charge her for this work. They told her to tip the mechanic who did the work.
It’s nice to find an honest mechanic. Tell Stefano I sent ya!

The guys at Whitey’s work fast andhave a great selection of tires, of which they are very knowledgeable. Price wise they definitely have good deals. I would recommend this place to anyone who needs new tires, alignments, etc.

I went to a few different places for prices on new tires and then my dad told me about this place and I’m so glad he did. Went on a sat afternoon got a great price and they were so quick. Four new tires for under 500 after taxes. Great service and I would def recommend anyone to come here for tires.

Car was wobbling really bad, the worker just looked @ my tires and told me that it was on backwards which messed up that tire.
Had a special price on the tire, put it in no time and I was back on the road !!!
Unfortunately the following day I caught a flat on the highway due to a leak in the valve. Mario, took full responsibility and apologized and resolved the problem

Hi I don’t usually write reviews but I want to save people from going here who may not know better. They may be great for tires but I came in asking them to check my brakes (I had gotten their deal for three oil changes and two tire rotations for like $ 30). I was told that I would need a whole new braking system (pads, hoses, rotors, the works) for the rear and it would cost me $ 750. Fortunately they weren’t my usual mechanic. I took the car to my usual mechanic – yeah I only needed pads and rotors. So glad I have a honest mechanic to go to.
Not sure how people here can think they are honest.

I’m writing this review to help other people like me who need car service and may be a little bit amateur. I am a midwesterner in my mid twenties, and female, and I had already had a negative car service experience in NYC. I drove 20 minutes out to Whitey’s, after reading good reviews here, for front tire replacement and to have a look at my engine after the Check Engine light came on. The staff was accessible and they managed my case without me having to wait, feel confused, or keep track of who was talking to who. They have a mechanic shop across the street from their tire shop, so I did have to shuttle between the two, but they communicated between one another flawlessly and I did not have to re-​explain anything.
The BEST part is that they showed and explained the workings of my car to me (I had had some work done recently on it but never got to see it for myself). They theorized that the check engine light just hadn’t been re-​set after my muffler was fixed, and didn’t think anything was wrong with my engine. We had friendly conversation about my tires and my upcoming cross-​country trip and I trust that they did what needed to be done on my car and nothing more.
I paid a reasonable amount for my new front tires and was comfortable at this establishment. Thank you!

I have been going to Whitey’s for tires for years. I don’t know how I found them in the first place, but I’m glad I did. Being a female, sometimes dealing with car places can be intimidating and they try to take advantage of us. Before going to Whitey’s in the first place, I priced tires for my car online. Whitey’s still gave me a better deal than any price I had in mind. They get your car in and out in no time as well — even on a weekend… did I mention they are open Sundays too???
Most recently, I went there for removal of the locked lug nuts on my tires (somehow I lost the key). I called them first and they quoted me $ 5 per tire to remove them which is awesome because that’s even cheaper than buying a replacement key from Mazda. When I got there, they showed me the huge bubble in my tire that I had been driving around with… now even I know bubbles are bad, so I knew I had to replace the tires. 20 minutes and 2 new tires later, I was on my way again. They didn’t even charge me for the locked lug nut removal since I bought tires.
Good deal all around!

I needed a rim for my daughter’s 2001 Hyundai. Trying to find a used one was impossible. I called Whitey’s and they ordered me a new one for $ 75. When they called to tell me to come in, they found me a used one and saved me around $ 40. These guys are the best!!!

I love Whitey’s! First, let me start off by saying these guys offer great service and they do not try to get over on their clients. Stefano and Ducky are top notch guys!
The first time I went to Whitey’s was because I was having an issue with my transmission. (I know transmission issues= scary and expensive) I had to leave my car there for them to figure out what was going on. The next day they called me to let me know they were going to have to take the transmission apart to figure out what was going on and that it would be another day until they could contact me with a prognosis. When they called me back they let me know that the issue I was having was being caused by dirt in a solenoid and that the transmission was back togerher and that I could come pick up my car. Ok great, «what is my damage?» NOTHING!!! What, excuse me, nothing? Yeah, nothing, just some dirt, no worries come get the car. OH MY GOODNESS. Did a mechanic just tell me there would be NO charge for taking apart my transmission?! He sure did! Needless to say, I tipped them well and have been coming here ever since. I get all my oil changes, inspections, tires ANYTHING car related here. These guys are the SH*T! I will never go anywhere else, PERIOD! You can definitely trust Whitey;

If you can get your car there for tire service, DO IT! Honest and fast service. I needed two new tires for my vehicle today. It took about 30 minutes. They have a tremendous tire stock. They also do
service there. Order from
and have your tires shipped there and they will mount for an additional cost. I did this before, but today was an emergency.

This is absolutely the worst place you can go to get your tires fixed. What is even worst is their so called «auto shop» across the street.
Where to begin…
I went on a Monday morning, hoping it won’t be busy and I was right. It wasn’t busy whatsoever. I should’ve taken it as a sign, but I was willing to give them a try since I live around the neighborhood. I told them exactly what I needed done. I needed an oil change and a car inspection. I immediately asked for the price and they said it was $ 35 for the inspection and $ 20 excluding the oil. I asked if I could bring my own motor in (which I purchased from autozone) and they said it would be okay. I charged it on my credit card and went home to grab the oil. I came back to find my car doubled park outside with a ticket on it. I went to confront them about it and they reassured me they would reimburse me. It made me feel a little better, but when I gave them my motor oil to change, one of the worker said they’ve already changed my oil and billed me for 6 quarts of Mobil 1 oil for $ 150.
I told them that i wouldn’t pay for this outrageous charge because they specifically said I could bring in my own oil. After a good half an hour, they gave me my keys because I threaten to call the police. Overall, this experience was a nightmare.
I will never use their service again. They are all scammers.
