Best old candy store and car service ever. Any candy you can think of you will find here.
Their auto service dept is the best. Their mechanics are excellent.
The whole place is well maintained. Neat orderly and clean.
Eileen and Ronnie and their staff are a pleasure to do business with.
My thanks to a great team.

Excellent selection of old time candy and toys. They had a Willy Wonker tin lunchbox that I had them put all the goodies in for my sons 40th birthday. Wonderful job putting it all together for me

Spectacular assortment of old time candy favorites! Reasonable prices and very friendly service! Great selection of retro toys and games, too! Kids of all ages will love this place!

Such a cute candy store with great nostalgic candies and games as well.

Came for the candy shop. I drive past it often but decided to stop it today and I’m glad I did. This idiosyncratic candy shop has been around for decades. Ronnie, the owner of the auto repair and candy shop, gave me a brief introduction of their history.

It was initially a gas station owned by his in-laws, until they renovated the office into a general store. It was the only one that offered food and drink, as well as a grand collection of smokes. When gas stations in the area began following suit, his wife Eileen decided to convert the store into a “nostalgic candy shop”. But don’t worry- all the candy and chocolate bars are reproductions from their respective manufacturers. Eventually they took out the gas station for extra parking space. The candy shop also stocks nostalgic toys and colorforms, lunch boxes and collectibles, but the most interesting things were a popcorn machine and a refrigerated Coca-Cola unit the couple had restored; they’re in working condition too, not just for display!

I never knew the animals on Animal Crackers packaging used to be behind bars. Or that a Skybar, which was Ronnie’s favorite growing up, had 4 flavors within 1 bar.

If you’ve got a car to service, they do everything except for body work. They’re very transparent about prices and waits won’t feel long with this candy shop next door. Don’t drive by like I did for months, come check it out!

Great old fashioned candy and toy store, while you wait or to stop in. Great customer service, send me a reminder for inspection.

What a wonderful & nostalgic store! I spoke with the owners Eileen & Ronnie, to help me put together a gift basket to deliver to my nephew at the local hospital. They were so lovely & helpful, and made the most awesome basket that would fulfill every child’s dreams. I’m certain it will bring a smile to his face. I’m so grateful to them! I only wish the store was closer to me so that I could visit often & reminisce.

Just wanted to share my experience at Bobb Howard's repair shop today I needed my catalytic converters replaced (Both) and got a quote from another known place, I needed to save some $$ on this repair to I got another quote was able to save $1000 going to BH , everybody was amazing my car was taken at my appointed time It need another sensor car was finished under the allotted time paid my bill got my cookies and M$M's as gifts Im mean what more can you ask for....well there's more... a fun little toy and candy store with all kind of items that you remember as a kid ......BH has my vote for having a great Repair service station that I will definitely use again.

Lots of fun retro stuff! Something for everyone! Very friendly place.

Bob Howard’s Auto Service and Nostalgic Candy Store is an institution in New Hyde Park for many years. Ronnie the owner is always kind and helpful. The candy and toy store inside really has to be seen to be believed. It has the look and feel of an early 1950’s candy store. All the products are well stocked and it will make you feel like you walked into a Time Machine. Disney could not have done it any better than Bob Howard’s. Family and child friendly. Very highly recommended.

Talk about a trip down memory lane..been passing by this place forever finally when back inside and had flashback on so many old candy and toys...it a great feeling and a place worth going to find the past we left behind a chance to be a kid again...

Greatest place for old fashioned candy. Don't pass this historic place by. Thank you for the memories!!

Great selection of candy and old games. Got a smile on the face of my friends and I. Hope small businesses like this grow bigger in the future. Love this place

Been taking my senior client once a month to the candy store to reminisce on the candy she grew up having as a kid. The price is quite reasonable the selection is amazing. They even have toys from back in the day games. If you want to reminisce on your childhood joys, come here

I came for the candy shop. So much classic stuff! This is perfect for stocking stuffer and other nostalgic gifts.

I lived in this neighborhood since i was a kid. Even when i was just buying Candy afterschool Eileen and Ronny were always so kind to anyone who stepped through the door.

Years later I am coming here for my car and I have to say the service with the mechanics is just as amazing! They are honest and fast to fix your car, I feel most comfortable coming here- especially because my knowledge on cars is terrible (lol). I am hoping their business thrives for my future kids to experience such great service (both the candy and car repairs!)

Staff friendly and entertaining. Amazed at the items from my past were still available. Was able to share some things from my childhood with my son.

My family and I have been coming here for over 25 years. Always exceptional service, Ron and his wife are sweethearts. Never had any issues with my car after servicing and never felt like I was getting ripped off. Definitely recommend !

This place was awesome, the owner made the experience special for my 6 year old daughter. She picked all her favorite candy, I picked all my favorite candy (even old stuff i thought they didn't make anymore) ....she picked a cool little toy and at the end the owner gave us some free popcorn from a really cool antique popcorn machine.....I highly recommend a visit for anyone! P.S. prices were great not like most candy stores.
