I started here over 20 years ago shortly after meeting Mark. Though I have stepped out of my original role in the office, I continue to work behind the scenes. I balance being a teacher, a business owner and most importantly a wife & mom.

John Cooper

Auto Technician/Shop Manager of the Dryden Location

Growing up in a racing family I had always been around cars and loved the atmosphere that went along with them. My nephew was good friends with Mark’s son and he let me know that Bell’s was looking for another technician; I had had experience at the track so I figured I would apply and see what happened. For more than ten years I have worked hard to learn and encourage the family environment that means so much to us. As manager of the Dryden shop, it is very satisfying to see everyone here work together as a team to get things done.

I first came to Bell’s when I responded to an ad in the Shopper for a tow truck driver, back when they used to tow. In my down time I would go out in the shop and see what I could learn, Mark and the rest of the guys were really helpful and more than 11 years later I have the privilege of being the manager of the Ithaca shop. One of the enjoyable parts of working here is the opportunity to meet and get to know people that I would otherwise not have been able to.

After taking a year off from college, getting a job at Bell’s was a great fit for me. I have been with the company for more than six years between our Ithaca and Dryden locations. A few of the qualities that stand out about this place are, my great co-workers, the family environment that is encouraged and extended to our loyal customers, and being able to find connections with the people that walk through the front door. Having all of this in one company is a tough find.

Matthew Prentice

Auto Technician Assistant

Matt started in our Varna location in September of 2016. He is always willing to help out at either location as needed, though you will mainly find him at our Varna location. He earned his NYS Inspector Certification after he was already employed with us, which continues to prove his willingness to grow in this field.

Chrissy Brotherton

Service Writer- Customer Service

We are happy that Chrissy joined our Dryden location in September 2020. Her experience in this field as well as a great customer service attitude is a wonderful addition to our team.

Gary Tucker III

Auto Technician - Varna

Gary started with us in August of 2018. He has an ASE certification in Refrigerant Recovery & Recycling and has been a valuable addition to our team in Varna.

Matthew & Dylan Bell

Auto Technician Assistants

Our boys can be found around here from time to time helping out in different capacities. We are certainly proud that they step in to help as needed while pursuing their own dreams and paths.

Charles Miller

Technician

Charlie retired from us after nearly 25 years of service. He still pops in from time to time to say "hi" and to see how we are doing!

Bruce Neff

Technician

We lost Bruce in 2016. For 30 years, he called this place home. He was as much Bell's Auto as Mark is. He is and always will be sorely missed.
