Benny’s Home & Auto Stores

My tire threads were showing on my left front tire, and I drive 65 miles 4 days a week, so that isn’t very safe. I called Benny’s in Westerly, and they were booked for the day. They asked me if I lived close to Wakefield because there is a Benny’s there. I live in Narragansett and often go to the Wakefield Benny’s. I just never realized they do tires. I called, and John was so helpful. I was in a time crunch, it was 10:20a and I had an appointment at 11 up the street. I planned to drop off my car and then walk to the appointment. John and the staff had my car done by 10:55 and I made it to my appointment on time. I’ve never had such helpful service at any place that does tires or any vehicle services.

I truly love Benny’s. It me some years to get to that point, but it’s an amazing store that has a lot of what I need.
Be warned, it’s not beautiful to look at. The store is very old school. But the experience is honest at a great price. It’s also very old school in it’s selections. You can get everything from tires, to fishing poles, to toys to lawn seed.
It’s the perfect place to be near a beach as you have everything to round out your toys for a family vacation. The prices are very low. I love that I can pick up car wax and LEGO bricks at the same place.

Love Benny’s! Come here almost every wknd for odds and ends! Lol! Ryan and the other staff there are really great and helpful with any questions I have, and I have a lot of them!

Nice store, no frills, has a lot of different items. The staff is very helpful in helping you locate something because the layout isn’t obvious. If you pay attention to the sale racks/​signs you can get a good deal on some items like summer apparel. It’s a Benny’s, it is what it is but the staff gives it an extra star.

Customer Service was incredible, not like big chain stores; they seem to care about a customer’s satisfaction.

Great localy owened business staff super friendly and store has everything you need at reasonable prices. My daughter purchased her first bike she used her own money and the staff made a huge deal of it. She put it on layaway and made payments as she earned money doing chores I became a regular at Benney’s quickly lol. Great experiance would recommend to anyone to check out benny’s.

Mangager is helpful, prices are decent. Convenient hours and location.

I think it’s cool that this Rhody chain of stores is still kicking — and that they still require the male staff to wear a shirt and tie.
You can pretty much find one of everything here… and maybe two or three of some things (like grills, which was the focus of my last trip).
I remember coming in here as a kid with my dad when he would change the oil on the car… buying the filter and quarts of oil and then buying 4 candy bars for a buck for me.
Yay, dad.
The candy bars are no longer at four-​fer, but they still have them out.
A cool little place.

Very helpful manager with tires. Prices a little higher than they used to be. Neat store.

They really do sell everything… Benny’s rocks.

Okay, I wish there were gradients between A-​ok and Yay! I’m a fan. I like the fact that Benny’s is a Rhode Island chain. I like that it’s old school. I like that Benny’s has the regular hardware things you need for your home and automobile needs. It seems to have gone down a bit though. Maybe it’s just that I’m grown-​up now and I pay attention to the quality of the items I’m buying. There are many name brands in Benny’s but there are just as many brands that are unusual like «Continental Electric». Coby is another brand that I see in their electronics aisle. I stopped buying electronics after being informed by a very young clerk that Coby was THE BEST electrical equipment on the market. I’m sure he meant well but I’ve tried different electronic brand products (ie: Craig, Sony, GE, Philips et al,) and Coby was not one of the best. It could just be that it’s a small town store that is a state chain.
I like that it’s not corporate looking. Each store looks different while still maintaining the general organization that Benny’s possesses. I know (mostly,) what I can get there and what I can’t get there. Seasonal goods like Christmas ornaments, gardening gear, swim toys, insulation for your windows are almost always kept in that special aisle near the cash registers. Year round gear includes car accessories, paint and paint equipment, camping gear, home goods, small appliances, lighting merchandise, toys, and tires. I mention tires because Benny’s used to be the place to go to get your tires done cheaply and well. I don’t really go there anymore though since the last few times my tires weren’t sealed properly and I had to go back more than once AND was hassled about paying even though I had the receipt. Not good business procedure but one I’m finding at most places now. I like Benny’s. I hope the company lasts.
