Man!! I've got to say I've never been happier with anybody than I have with these guys! I was introduced to them by my meemaw as she had some work done previously that she was beyond words about so I bought a car from one of their auctions and I've literally only put a battery in it and had it checked out and it's been better than any car I've ever bought from a used dealer ever!! Highly recommend W&R!

They do a great job! I have taken several vehicles to have work done on them over the years and have had no issues. Would highly recommend using them.

On 8/4/2023 I visited W&R for a repair on a 1990 Chevrolet C1500. The repair consisted of a door bushing replacement on the driver side. I was charged $32 per door bushings (x2), $167.46 for a door lock (i did not ask for the lock to be replaced), door handle for $29.54 as well as $50 an hour for 5.2 hours. The total repair cost me $507.32. After the repair I continued driving the truck for about 2 weeks and the bushings failed me. (The door bushings that are sold at any automotive store are made of brittle metal.) Austen notified me about the normality of Chevy door bushings failing from time to time. I'm no automotive mechanic but after a simple Google search I came across door bushings that are made of tool steel. (This type of metal makes up the majority of all heavy duty repair equipment. Bucking Bars, Rivet Sets, Wrenches and Ratchets etc). I find it hard to believe that if a reoccurring problem continues to show up at any automotive repair shop, the mechanics would brainstorm (Or GOOGLE) other quality parts that would hold up longer instead of continuing using products that are famous for failing. What I'm getting at is if the quality of the door bushings is obviously not up to par; then why continue using them? EnduraPin offers a lineup of tool steel door bushings (Google < Tool Steel Door Bushings< Make and Model<Done) The door bushings wasn't my only problem. Instead of the technician re-installing my door panel properly as it was prior to repair, he/she ran SELF TAPPING SCREWS through the door panel into my door. Not to mention the spring absorber was never even installed. I notified the bodyshop about it and was told that the "chevy pickups are known for having common door bushing issues". They told me they would fix it again for around $150. It is not the truck manufacturers fault. It is the quality of the parts being re-installed. It is the lack of incompetence for individuals not doing research and thinking outside the box. I would not recommend this body shop. They may do quality work in other areas of vehicle repairs, but door bushings seem to be their kryptonite.
