BELARDINELLI TIRE COMPANY, Bethel CT.

In 1961 Tulio Belardinelli opened the doors at Belardinelli Tire Company. 48 years later, he's still there. Which, by today's standards is really saying a lot. Local residents have come to rely on Belardinelli Tire Company not just for their tires. People come to Belardinelli's for all their automotive repairs from oil changes and tune-ups to emissions inspections.

For Tulio, it's more than just a business - it's a family enterprise. Tulio's daughter, Lisa Belardinelli Taylor is the company's Business Manager working along side her husband Mike, who is General Manager.

Almost any time you drop by you'll see the members of the Belardinelli team either consulting with clients in the office or working in the bays doing the various maintenance and repairs that keep Bethel's cars running well.

Carrying on a family tradition

The third generation is also on board now with Tulio's Grandson Jared Matthews working as a Sales Associate. This multi-generational idea is good news for Bethel drivers. It means that Belardinelli Tire Company is going to be around for a while.

Belardinelli Tire Company is located at 7 Beach Street on the corner of Greenwood Avenue, just across from the Bethel Cinema.

They are open Mon - Fri from 7:30 to 5:30 and Saturday from 7:30 to 12:00. Their phone number is (203)748-0889.

Data compiled from the Greater Fairfield County MLS and believed to be accurate.

It all started when one resident of the Bethel Convalescence Home let the staff know that riding in a hot air balloon was on his bucket list. A call to RE/MAX Unlimited Real Estate and a hot air balloon event was scheduled.

What a pleasure to see all of the residents sitting outside the facility, on a beautiful sunny day, watching the RE/MAX balloon being spread out and inflated.

And then the excitement really started - as more than 50 residents, most in wheel chairs each had their moment in the air. The process of lifting each resident out of their wheel chair, into a chair placed carefully in the balloon, a 4 minute ride into the air up and down and then a lift back into their wheel chair. And then a small glass of champagne to celebrate an exhilarating moment of freedom! The smiles on resident's face were the reward for all the volunteers who helped the event happen.

So balloons are not just for kids - we had definite proof yesterday!

It once again made me proud to be a RE/MAX agent who provides service to the community - far beyond the normal tasks of real estate.
