DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN!…read more On 10/3/25, my husband paid Lee Wiles / Common Vision LLC $1,020 (plus a $281 tip) for axle and brake repair. Less than 24 hours later, the car broke down in a dangerous way. AAA confirmed the repair was unsafe and improperly done, and another certified mechanic verified this. The axle came out and nearly caused a serious accident. When I contacted him, instead of refunding the payment, he admitted in text messages that "the axle came out" but refused to return the money. He also tried to deflect responsibility by making inappropriate comments about race and insisted on "fixing" it again -- despite my clear statements that I no longer trusted him after such unsafe work. I have full documentation: receipt, CashApp payment, AAA confirmation, mechanic statement, and text messages from his phone. This needs to be on record to prevent him from scamming and endangering others. He is also not listed with the BBB as a registered business -- but I have filed a complaint so there will now be a record. If he scammed you too, REPORT HIM. Businesses that operate this way do not last. Add On: It's not harassment to ask for my money back after a repair failed in less than 24 hours and almost caused an accident. AAA confirmed the axle came out because of improper work, and a certified mechanic verified this. I provided proof: receipt, CashApp payment, and text messages where Mr. Wiles himself admitted "the axle came out." I made it very clear that I would not allow him to touch my car again after such an unsafe repair. At that point, the only responsible action was to issue a refund. Instead, he refused, deflected responsibility, and made inappropriate comments about race. This is not about being "nice" or "polite." It's about safety, integrity, and accountability. I stand by my review and documentation. Others deserve to know what happened so they can protect themselves. DO NOT TRUST HIM!!

RE: Common Vision. Lee is the kind of mechanic who is passionate about diagnosing car problems and…read morefinding solutions. I found him here on Yelp and hired him for a PPI to look at a 2003 Tiburon. A family member is an enthusiast for these old cars which they wanted to make into a "hot hatch". I met Lee at the dealer, which was a long drive to the dealer for both of us. And of course the car was in a back lot 3 or 4 rows deep. So while waiting for the dealer to find the car and bring it to the front, Lee noticed some teenagers who were there to look at a Civic SI. One of them was checking for rust by knocking his knuckles on the car body. Lee smiled at this and went over to chat with them and before you know it, he was reviewing the car with them, explaining how you really check for rust, opened the hood and began digging into how to tell if this Civic was running well or not. He looks underneath the car by getting on the ground and actually looking. I noticed all the other guys, both the dealer guys and the buyers, were hesitant to do this. I think they were intimidated because he obviously knew much more about engines than they did. I was impressed that Lee has the instincts of an educator. He really wants to not just evaluate the car but to teach others how to examine a car. Eventually the Tiburon appears and then Lee quickly went through his process. He focuses on the engine and doesn't move on from that until all issues are covered. In this case, he zeroed in immediately on the coolant system. It wasn't holding pressure. I watched as he carefully tested and retested and showed the dealer technician that the system was bad and that it was leaking. We had already been there for an hour and a half so it was decided that the dealer would pull a hose from another car ( the dealer was close to a salvage yard) and repair it and then Lee would return to test it again. In the end, even the dealer gave up on this car, he didn't complete any repair and we moved on. But I will have Lee examine any car we are considering. He is an excellent mechanic, fair and honest.

Took our Ford Escape in with a transmission that was slipping. Transmission replaced, still not…read moreworking. Took it back, they adjusted it, still not working. Took it back, they replaced the transmission again, still not working AND, now the windshield wipers aren't working. Hmmm... With the cost of a rental car 3 times, plus$3500, I'd say we are out a lot of money and still have a car that doesn't work well. You be the judge. I do not recommend this shop.

This post goes out to Ivan N. Unfortunately, I just now saw your review Ivan. What is sad about…read moreYelp is that employees of businesses dont have the ability to respond to your allegations. That kind of gives people the ability to trash a place without someone calling you out on it. Well, here I am...... #1 - You brought your 200,000 plus mile Ford to our shop for a noise YOU diagnosed as a broken flywheel. The noise was in fact pretty horrific. #2 - Fact, we removed your transmission, and your flywheel was broken, so we replaced it with an OEM flywheel. #3 - Upon completion of repairs, we realized that most of the noise you were complaining about was gone, but there was still noise coming from your engine. The noise you were complaining about was so bad, we couldnt accurately determine that it was not just a broken flywheel, but a problem inside the engine as well. #4 - No one deliberately blew up your engine here. We didnt even road test it except to drive it out of the shop at idle. You really think someone would deliberately blow up your engine? Paranoid much? You think the fact that the truck had over 200,000 miles might have something to do with it? Seriously, how much longer did you expect to get out of the engine? Dont get me wrong, its not that a motor cant last longer, but after that kind of use (especially a work vehicle), anything could happen at any moment. Your "opinion" that your motor was "solid" was not based on any actual facts. #5 - I am sorry for your problems and dont wish them on you, but seriously, as you stated, bring your truck to the dealer next time. Youre going to be in for some big surprises. Gary Manager
