Five Corners Service Center — Local services in Town of Hempstead

I had a truly terrible experience here. Brought my car in after an accident because it was the closest shop and the guy was nice until I decided to have a friend do the work instead. When I called to have the car released to him, the guy claimed he had already started disassembling my car before the insurance had done their inspection. I told him I had seen the car just that morning as I drove to work and it looked pretty put together to me at which point he told me it had been moved later in the day to a different location to start work. When I asked for the address he refused to give it to me. I had my friend at north star auto go and get the car and they threatened to report him to the town if he didn't release the car, as per my instructions. It was never moved. What a skeez and a liar. Go to north star instead, they are good honest people who will take care of you.

I waited 2 months before writing this review because I hate giving bad reviews, but after what they did to my car… I have to. I brought my 1978 Pontiac trans am to have a gasket changed and a radiator replaced (supposed to be real easy on these cars) I get the car back and it overheats on my way home. “I should have changed the thermostat” he says to me… bring it back. I do, after it overheats again upon bringing back the next day, 2 weeks later I pick it up and he’s making noise it never did before and upon driving it to work, it has NO power and it overheats again. I gave him $1100 to ruin my car. It ran absolutely fine before I took it to him… it only had a small antifreeze leak from the gasket and I thought I would get a jump on it before it got worse…...

Honest and reliable. I work within walking distance of the shop and went in panicked one morning due to my lease making a "funny" sound. I drive over 75 miles a day in heavy traffic and was worried about my safety. I dropped it off just before they opened knowing that I'd have it back within a reasonable time. Not only did I receive an oil change (which I asked for on the in-take form), but the owner also informed me of the cause of the noise. Even though I was clearly desperate, he gave some advice which lead to the issue being taken care of by the car manufacturer; otherwise I would have paid...
