- NFNancy FrommeltNov 14, 20255.0If my car could talk, it would probably still be yelling “Brrrrr—click click… nope.” My engine decided to take a dramatic nap and refused to start, like a diva that’s had enough of adulting. Enter Tyler at Wilke Automotive, the hero we desperately needed. This man took one look at my car and said, “We’re gonna get you revving again.” And let me tell you… he DID. He brought my poor, lifeless engine back from the land of broken dreams and sad towing bills. Not only does Wilke Automotive know what they’re doing, they actually explain things like normal humans without making you feel like you just flunked Car Parts 101. Trustworthy, fast, and doesn’t cost you your firstborn—10/10 would stall again just for the service.
