Review №1

Family run business that provides knowledgeable and excellent service. Recently, Rich and Rich Jr. ran diagnostics on my car and spent time explaining what was causing the difficulty. They completely resolved the issue. I have been going to Great Bear for years as this is the only place I trust with the mechanics of my car. Their service has been reliable every time. I recommend them to everyone. Especially during these crazy times it’s nice to know you are in the presence of honest, good hearted people that care about the safety of your vehicle.#supportlocalbusinesses

Got the appointment same day for a NYS inspection. Junior helped me out with a tire issue at no extra cost. Honest guys and quality work. Didn’t try to rip me off like a lot of shops do. Truly appreciate the help guys!!!! Will be coming here in the future for my services on my cars!

Thus place is very good to bring your vehicle when you need some work done, inspection or oil change. The staff is very polite and patient. Very professional and a clean waiting room. Perfect for someone in need of an honest mechanic.

Be aware of false repair work. Mechanic brought out a bolt that does not belong to the car and claim the dipstick need replacement. Knowingly make a false or misleading statement about the need for parts, replacement or repair service is illegal yet this business practices it. If you come in with statement such as check engine light is on, this is taken as an opportunity to do unwanted repairs. Make sure to know your cars well or get a second opinion. Not recommended. They are practicing Jiffy Lube methods...

I no longer dread going for car maintenance since I found Great Bear 4 years ago. Rich is good at describing the different options when facing repair, showing me the actual parts that need to be fixed, which puts me at ease. He also once fixed a dent I had in my front bumper at no charge, he just popped it back to its original shape, which was really nice and helpful. They also have a clean, spacious sitting area with free coffee, which is definitely nice when you have to wait.

This was my first experience with Great Bear and I really enjoyed it. They are super professional and honest. They did not try to push any unnecessary service or component, quite the contrary, I was told my rear braking pads were a little worn out, but could safely be used for one more month. Besides that the service was extremely fast, well done, and they have one of the best prices around.I am really pleased by this first experience. Richie and Dave definitely got themselves a returning customer.

My car broke down in a parking lot about 2.5 miles from their location, called up in the morning, dropped off the keys, and that was it, about 3 hours later Dave called to let me know my starter needed to be replaced. The cost incl. having to tow the vehicle was inline with what I was anticipating. They also let me know about a couple of other issues I needed to take care of, and since they already had the vehicle and had earned my trust, I had them take care of everything. Ill definitely be going back...

Great Bear in Huntington Station is the absolute best. I have always been treated with respect and honesty at this garage. They tell it like it is and give you options on how you would like to proceed. They arent pushy or arrogant in the slightest. I am always concerned about unsavory garages but Richie and Dave are the real deal. They will always give you a call and let you know what your car needs. I would highly recommend this shop if you are in the huntington area.

Dont trust these people - just after your money, thats it! My mother had bought a used car and had some repairs needed. After one pricey repair led to another pricey repair - all paid in cash. Finally they falsely made it seem like the timing belt urgently needed to be replaced and by that time we really got suspicious! They totally took advantage of female naivety about used vehicles. We got a second opinion elsewhere for the timing belt - it did not need to be replaced at all !! Dont come here and waste your money. Totally dishonest!!!
