Very nice people but too high for my blood. Doesn't give you cheaper options for people that truly can't afford brand new parts.

I read reviews on resturants so I absolutely read reviews for expensive repairs and service providers to help lead me to businesses who are fair honest and provides a good service. So if I write one it's to help other people in need of services. On August 10 2020 I called Wellmans Auto repair/ Motorsports in Gastonia about bleeding my brakes turning the rotor and putting new brake pads on my vehicle. I spoke with Jonmichael who told me they wouldn't be able to get to it until the next day (Tuesday). I went ahead and dropped it off that afternoon so they could get it done Tuesday morning he said he'd call when it was ready. Tuesday August 11 I hadn't heard anything so called at 1:00 to see if it was about ready the office said he (Jonmichael) was at lunch she didn't know if it was ready that she'd have him call when he got back. 3:00 pm came hadn't heard from him so I called back. He told me they hadn't started it bu that it would be $1,146.48.nI told him all I brought it in for was to turn front rotors brake pads and brake lines bleed what was costing that much. He said in addition to what I requested that it also needed rear cylinders rear brake drums a rear hardware kit and a master cylinder. I told him I didn't have that kind of money and told him to just turn the rotors new brake pads and bleed the brakes. He said No that he couldn't do that that it all had to be done and that I couldn't drive it until it was done that it dangerous. .. . I told him I didn't have that kind of money I'd have to call me son and talk to him about it. He said alright . I called back they were closed. So Wednesday morning since he said it was dangerous I couldnt drive it and he had refused to put brakes on it & do the job I requested I had to call a wrecker to go get it . The second shop I had it moved to put New rotors on the front ,turned the back rotors put all 4 brake pads on bled the lines put new seals tighted a headlight that was loose and put new battery post on for $450. Total plus the $50 I had to pay the wrecker to move it. That was still $646.48 less than Wellmans who was going to charge me for parts I didn't need. Times are hard. People need fair and honest mechanics thats why I posting this review. Hope this review helps if your looking for a repair shop.

Good, quality work.

Great service. Professional staff. The service was completed very quickly on my Porsche Turbo S while receiving constant updates from them. I have been taking my car to Wellman Motor Sports for the last 2+ years instead of the local Porsche dealership because of:n1) Their professionalism,n2) Their skills (BUSCH Certified and it shows),n3) Cost (much cheaper than Porsche).nnThank you Wellman! -Mario
