Best shop for lowered/modified cars. They have an in-ground alignment rack perfect for slammed cars. They set up my 2023 GR86 perfectly. I told them I wanted the fitment as flush as possible with as little rubbing as possible. Not only did they adjust my camber and toe, but they also adjusted the height of my coilovers so that my car was the same height on all 4. 10/10 recommend going here, and the prices are very reasonable.Service: Wheel alignment

They take no responsibility for damaging your wheels. The guy told me: "We don't stand behind the wheels." He also said: "We stand behind our work." I guess they're good at balancing, but keeping the wheels intact isn't part of their job. Family business and the price is "right"...Service: TiresService: Tires

Definitely experts in the field of wheel alignment. Especially if you have a full sized SUV or any sized truck. I was recommended by my mechanic and went there for an alignment on a 1500 platform SUV. The ride was unstable and eating tires. Little Bear was able to correct some issues with the front end first and align it very nicely. Rides like a new car again. They have a custom alignment pit and have been doing alignments for generations.Services: Steering & suspension repair, Wheel alignment

I was recommended Little Bear by a fellow BMW owner and I came here looking to get my new wheels mounted and balanced, as well as performing an alignment on my 1997 BMW M3. I have full adjustable suspension (camber plates, and coilovers) and Bernie was able to finesse the settings I wanted with ease. I use the car for spirited backroad driving and I wanted to fit bigger and wider wheels. They took fantastic care of my wheels, not a scratch on them. And Bernie went above and beyond to get my alignment dialed in. Little Bears communication was stellar and he consulted me on any minor adjustments that needed to be done. I was charged $250 dollars for mounting and balancing four wheels along with an alignment. The outcome was amazing and I couldn't be happier. If you need any specific work with your pride and joy, I wouldn't hesitate to come here. The in ground alignment rack for lowered cars is ideal as well.

Fantastic garage. Was told 8:00 am and they put the car in at 7:45. Very friendly garage, great work and very friendly receptionist. 5 star all the way.

This place is the best.I needed to get an inspection done immediately to update my registration yesterday. Even though they were booked solid, they squeezed in in and got the work done in 3 hours and even changed my oil after saying they might not be able to due to schedule.Great work for fair prices and no BS or pushy "extras" that need to be done. They advise you of what is found that requires attention with no scare tactics.So good to have a shop like this locally!

This is a true family owned and operated business. Not only that, but they take extreme pride in their work as they should - it's top notch. Customers are treated fairly and professionally. They are meticulous with their work and if there's ANY problem you might have they are happy to take a second look.They worked on my lowered Subaru and gave me great feedback on the alignment settings I desired. A remarkable business that others could definitely learn from.

Went here on a recommendation and I'm glad I listened. After a recent Jeep JKU suspension upgrade, I wanted to find a good shop that knew Jeeps well. The mechanic that worked on my Jeep was very thorough, perfect alignment, steering wheel adjustment... but more importantly he answered a number of questions and made some great recommendations for other upgrades I could consider. Everyone I spoke with was very friendly, fair prices, convenient location. Will definitely be back.

They do great work, but are a little pricey.... With that said though, remember, you get what you pay for.....

10/10 experience writing this in my truck just because i never experienced the honesty about a potential issue but nothing to worry about . Every place would love to dig into my pockets saying somthings wrong when it isnt or be overly dramatic about an issue. Not with little bear.Service: Wheel alignmentService: Wheel alignment

I was having some serious ride quality issues with my 2012 malibu. I had taken it to two mechanics on multiple occasions, both of which basically laughed it off and said nothing was wrong. I brought it to these guys and BOOM! In literally less than 2 hours I get a call that the issue was fixed. 100 bucks and my car went from riding like a tank to smooth as a brand new car. I'd definitely recommend anyone to go here.

I have been coming here for years now and not once have i ever been disappointed. I am a fan of lowering my vehicles and always need to align to my desired specs. These guys tackle it with no issue. Only ones who get it right.I would recommend making an appointment in advanced to save wait time.

I brought my vehicle in for a wheel alignment. while vehicle was in their parking lot , the vehicle wouldn't start back up. We figured out it needed a starter, the cost of a starter ranges from $75.00 to $125.00 plus labor. The labor time according to the dealer /mechanic books can take up to 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours. They over charged and took advantage of me on the labor cost and parts to replace starter. I was charged 3 hours of labor @ $120.00 per hour, I am not questioning the hourly labor cost, my issue is that they charged me 3 hours of labor for a job that takes 1 to 1.5 hours in addition they charged $325 for a starter that goes for $75 to $125.00 tops. I had no choice to fix my vehicle, I tried to reason with Bernie but he was unreasonable. He also tried to upsell me on front end work but refused since vehicle was just inspected by NYS DOT and It passed, I also had my mechanic look over his notes and he came back that there were no safety issue and only needed a boot cover.Service: Wheel alignment

The guys at Little Bear fixed my Mercedes rear differential for 1/3 the price the dealer wanted and no one else knew how to fix it. I drove 2 hours from MA to get there and it was worth every mile and every dime. These guys are the best!ChrisMassachusetts

There just aren't many auto repair shops with the depth of knowledge, skill and professionalism as Little Bear. From fabrication[ a lost art] to modern tech diagnostics....they are second to none. The Calabro's are a family business that not only remedies automotive woes, they support our community......if you need auto repairs, it behooves you to pay them a visit.Services: Steering & suspension repair, Auto engine diagnostic, Wheel alignment, Air conditioning

These guys go above and beyond as mechanics. Secretary is most helpful oh, and they do A+ work. I would highly suggest using Little Bear for all of your mechanical needs, from an oil change to a transmission change. These guys are good

Bernie, his brother, and his crew are excellent technicians and a great value.They won't let you hit the road unless you know exactly how your car is doing and what their recommendations are to keep you and your passengers safe.

I was recommended by my mechanic.Said that Little Bear was the best in this area for wheel alignments and such. Unfortunately, I cannot disagree more. I was disappointed with the result. My car is now pulling to the right, which it wasnt doing prior to the wheel alignment. I was told the pulling was due to "bargain basement" tires that I had installed. I took their advice and replaced the tires with premium Pirrelli tiresThe car continued to pull to the right. No need to say how disappointed I am with this experience. I am an unhappy customer who will not be returning to Little Bear or extending a positive recommendation to anyone else.

The put my baby back together!!It's understandable why these guys are in business almost 60+ years!!! I brought in my 2004 JEEP WJ(wobbly jeep) with a real bad bump steer problem. A little more than an hour later, I am driving down the Palisades like I am in a stock vehicle with no play, no jiggle, no shake. Going forward, these are the guys that will be doing all my suspension work.DA BEST!!!!!!!!
