Well I had hopes that being a small private shop that I would experience better compared to some larger corporate type establishments. Was pretty close to home so I could swing by now and then to see how things were going but seems for first couple months my vehicle remained in the same spot as it was when dropped of for repairs. I'd email weekly because being a mechanic for over 20yrs I know some parts need to be ordered and at times are on back order simply because availability is low. Well after 3 months and some days I finally got the call stating my vehicle was completed, oh and when you receive messages saying you can pick your vehicle up on this day.. dont fall for it as myself and my wife had to coordinate time off of work to get the vehicle picked up and such.. but last minute found out that those messages were auto-generated and not accurate, lovely. So when I did get my vehicle back I dropped off my rental there which was a pleasant surprise as we had to figure a way of dropping off and picking up. But looking at my vehicle it was clean.. back together like it was before the hit and run accident. Drove home and noticed a shake that wasn't there before the accident.. just figured it was a flat spot on tire from sitting 3 months.. well 2nd day and still has a shimmy, had all tires balanced days before the accident so thought maybe a wheel weight was knocked off at impact.. brought it in to the shop to check tire balance and when I got to the tire on opposite side of impact I saw it was about to blow out.. not what I expected to see 2 days after being given the keys to drive my vehicle after repairs. New tire was just under $240 ..not what anyone would expect days after getting a vehicle repaired. They did contact me before saying there was a tire of a different size and asked if I wanted to buy a tire. I declined because I had intended on replacing tires at my job. Now they also informed me they had to swap the same tire around twice when doing the alignment on my vehicle which tells me there was 2 opportunities to notice how bad the tire was.. now if the tire appeared fine at the time and it wore this badly after only 2 trips to work and home then the alignment job was way off.. but after replacing the tire in question it has not wore abnormally in any way which tells me thr alignment is fair.. and that it was a bad tire left on my vehicle when I was given the keys to drive home. I messaged the shop/ owner even spoke on the phone about the tire. He seemed annoyed that I was bringing it up.. even said " what do want me to buy you a tire".. which annoyed me as a mechanic. I figured you would want your clients leaving in a safe vehicle.. and if you say the tire was good when I left then something is wrong with the vehicle that was just "repaired".. which is it.. I reached out to my insurance company and was told they had been contacted by the shop and my request for compensation on buying the tire was declined because of whatever the shop had told them.. nice.. like I'm gonna tell mom what you did before you tell what I did kind thing. Long story short.. either they missed the unsafe tire they let me leave in or the work they performed was sub-par and magically got better after I replaced the tire and im a better mechanic then I thought because the tire isn't wearing abnormally now. Even after the response I reiterate yes I was contacted about the tire being a different size but at no time was it said that the tire was unsafe..and the tires condition was a result of the accident and driving home. Now just a few weeks after repairs I have a loud roaring noise coming from the rear of my vehicle. In the area of all the repairs done.. sounds like a wheel bearing gone bad...it was and they replaced it.. sometimes new parts go bad. Revisiting the review my vehicle has been flawless ever since and am very happy with how it drives

Thanks to all the road closures and detours around the Valley Semi Trucks are having to take our small back roads with a lot of blind curves. I came around one of those blind curves to find a logging truck completely in both lanes. I had to ride off the road and thus causing damage to my brand new 2025 Mini. Took her to Weida Brothers and she looks like a brand new car again! Extremely happy the results and will continue to use Weida Brothers in the future…HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
