- CCCourtney Conro5 days ago5.0The staff is friendly and honest! If you’re looking for a place to go that’s more interested in helping you than making money off of you this is the place to go. I’ve been going to Tyler for a couple years now and I don’t think I’ll ever see another mechanic!
- CPCarmen Pack5 days ago5.0Absolutely amazing experience, I can not say enough about these guys! Tyler and Danielle were literal lifesavers for me and my jeep patriot. From start to finish these guys were very professional, polite, and my jeep rides like a dream now. Very reasonable pricing, they didn't try to sell me something I didn't need, and I got car back really fast. I would give them 10 stars if I could. Also, I would like to say thanks to Joe at Fathead towing for being so quick to get me to the repair shop, and an absolute pleasure to ride back with. You guys are awesome and will be recommending to anyone I know that needs work on their car!!!
- LELorenzo E6 days ago5.0I Needed some help looking into some past repairs done to a truck I picked up. Wilke automotive picked up the phone and was able to send me over the repair sheet and answer my questions in a quick timely manner!
- 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.
