I cannot recommend Wayne's Repair LLC based on my experience. After problems with repairs performed on two separate vehicles, I have completely lost confidence in his workmanship and his willingness to stand behind it.
For transparency, I purchased the parts for both vehicles myself. However, before purchasing them, I showed Wayne the parts and information to confirm they were correct for each vehicle and repair. He confirmed them before I made the purchases.
On my Ram ProMaster City, Wayne replaced the front wheel bearings. Immediately afterward, the grinding noise and vibration remained. I contacted him about the problem multiple times. He eventually acknowledged in writing that he never test-drove the van after completing the repair.
I then took the van to Lee's Summit Auto Integrity, Big O Tires, and Lee's Summit Garage & Transmission. All three independently identified problems with how the wheel bearings had been installed. The damage ultimately required replacement of the front wheel hub assemblies and resulted in a substantial additional repair bill.
Unfortunately, this wasn't an isolated incident.
Wayne also replaced the valve cover gasket on our Honda Crosstour. We recently had to pay another mechanic to redo that repair after problems were found with the previous installation.
What has made this experience even more frustrating is the communication. I have reached out to Wayne multiple times trying to resolve these issues directly. On multiple occasions, my messages received no response and I was simply ignored. I gave him numerous opportunities to communicate with me and resolve the situation before posting this review. I requested reimbursement for the labor I paid on the improperly performed wheel-bearing repair, yet my attempts to reach a resolution have gone unanswered.
After having multiple professional mechanics inspect and correct Wayne's work, what I have been shown and told about the workmanship has left me seriously questioning his competency as a mechanic. Two different vehicles, two different repairs, and both required another professional to correct the work afterward.
Mistakes can happen. What I cannot overlook is multiple repairs requiring correction, multiple independent mechanics identifying workmanship problems, significant additional expenses, and repeated attempts to resolve the situation being ignored.
I have text messages, receipts, repair records, and documentation supporting my experience.
Based on everything that has happened, I would not trust Wayne's Repair LLC to work on another one of my vehicles, and I cannot recommend his services to anyone. read more
