| - I was not impressed by Bellisario's. Reading all the nice reviews from other customers, I feel compelled to write my own to share my experiences and evaluation. The bottom line is that Bellisario's work is below average and his prices are above average. Joe mentions quality a lot in his store but he could not deliver it... to me at least. I really wanted this car mechanic to work for me but after three attempts (see below for details), I would not recommend his services.
1) Underestimating repair work
When I first asked for his services, it was for auto body repairs following a frontal collision. After giving me his estimate, I agreed to the repairs. Unfortunately, the final bill was 30% above his original estimate. To be fair, I should say that the auto body work itself seemed to be of very good quality and he provided a lifetime warranty with his work.
2) Splash shield falling apart
While driving on the highway at 65mph, a piece of the car came loose and started banging against the front door. Stopping on the side of the highway, I realized that the splash shield of the right front wheel was dangling. After further investigation, it turned out that this part was removed and placed back by Bellisario's during the repairs a few months earlier. Again, to be fair, Bellisario honored his warranty and replaced the part for free... Unfortunately, the scratches on the front door are still there as evidence of the collateral damage.
3) Unnecessary repair work
I had a problem of a vibrating noise triggered at high speed with my car. I decided to consult Bellisario's about this. Again, to be fair, I knew this would be a tricky problem to diagnose. Anyway, I went to see him and he assured me that he would pinpoint the issue and get back to me. After waiting all day, I heard of no update. I finally called him and he told me that he found the problem and was fetching a replacement part in earnest. Again, I wanted to believe him. Unfortunately, it turned out that the problem was not fixed at all and the work he charged me for was unrelated. I called him a few days later to report the situation and he started becoming angry and defensive so I left it there.
So there you have it... it is the disappointing end of a disappointing series of mishaps with Bellisario's. Again, do your research and I bet you'll find much better service at lower cost in Pittsburgh. At least, I did.
