If I could give this place zero stars, I would. My experience at Wilkies Automotive was nothing short of a nightmare. I took my car for a brake and light inspection, they told me to replace the perfectly working tail light and when I refused their service, the old man got mad and started yelling and cursing at me. They still wanted to charge for the service they didn’t provide. The owner was shockingly rude and unprofessional. When I tried to address the issues with my car, the owner started cursing and yelling at me instead of offering any solutions. He even yells at his employees. It's clear they have no respect for their customers, and their work reflects that. At first they tell you a flat fees for brake light inspection but at the end they charge you way more. The guy is a total ripoff. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this place at all costs. There are plenty of other mechanics and brake light inspection places out there who actually value their customers and do quality work.

It is so great to find a company ( any company ) that knows what customer service is. These are the nicest and most customer service orientated people I have come across in a LONG time. I wish I had reason to go to them for other things. They were very honest with me and my situation. Can not recommend them enough!!!!

Old school honesty, great immediate service, w/ a great sense of humor and knowledge of anything mechanical, if you are done with dealers and garage mechanics ripping you off, you should definitely give these guys a call 📞

I needed a lamp and brake inspection done same day after putting it off for months and trying to get it handled same day at the DMV. Getting any of the certified places to actually pick up the phone and answer questions and quote me a price was impossible. I found Wilkes on google and called and spoke to John (the owner). He’s a breath of fresh air. Kind and cordial and very funny. He fit me right in to his schedule. I was in and out in under 30 min. No waiting. Very pleased. While I hope to never need this service again, I hope this review assures anyone who does to come here. He’s VERY reasonably priced for this service

I never write reviews but this place was so wonderful I had to! Everyone was so nice and helpful. I HIGHLY recommend coming here. I’ve never had an enjoyable experience with any mechanic or shop and this place was amazing. Affordable, detail oriented, and friendly. They were about a 40 min drive from me and it was well worth it. Thank you!

Feb 06, 2024

I went for a DMV required brake and light inspection. I would have given them 10 stars if I could. Very polite, very competent, very professional and very honest. What more can you want!

Feb 06, 2024

I went in for a brake and light inspection because my car was vandalized and my insurance company gave me a salvage title even though all repairs were done. The were very informative and very courteous as well as very professional. Very friendly and treated me with respect. Very nice people.

Probably the most welcoming and sweetest and polite people I’ve met doing my berate and light inspection. Also they do it all in a really good price compared to most places. I will tell my friends and family about this place. I was having a rough two weeks and they really made my day. If you’re reading this, I promise you that you won’t find a better place than this one. It’s kinda hidden so just be on the lookout.
