Engine repair service near Big Bend, WI

I have a 2001 Toyota Tacoma with 87K on it. Great truck. Check engine light came on so I went to a local dealer where I had purchased two other vehicles in the past. They said I needed both catalytic converters for the not so surprising sum of $3600. I understand that dealers always charge high for parts but, no. I went to Paul's Bender Center ( to the dealers credit they did suggest Paul's ) and they quickly found bad gaskets near the O sensor causing the bad reading. One hour and $ 109.20 later AND a passed emissions I drove off smiling. I've been to Paul's in the past and will surely return and recommend their services to everyone. James M. Kenosha, WI

So far so good. Didn't give me the news I wanted to hear but they are being honest and upfront. Their customer service is top notch. Every time I spoke to them, they were always pleasant. I hope to never have the need for their services but if the need arise I'll definitely use them. No doubt giving references too.

Service as great. Done when said and less than expected....it was a BMW!

Good work! Reasonable prices. Always updates you with changes in products and or cost. I inly rake my cars to him now.

The team at Mraz replaced the transmission and clutch in my Mini Cooper (2003) in about a day. The longest wait was for parts from Mini USA, but they were able to have everything done very fast. The car came back spotless, and the price was much less than the dealer. They also accepted my extended dealer warrenty that I purchased when I bought my car with no problems.

Terrible experience, continuous brake noise post repairs. Do not trust, not resolution per Bob Lutter.

DO NOT visit here for repairs, or you will regret it. My lovely sister, who suffers from an intellectual disability just recently, came here to get her car repaired and has been taken advantage of. To be completely honest, her car is a total rust pile and a piece of junk that needs to be scrapped due to the wonderful Wisconsin snow and "Salar de Uyuni" valley of salt that has completely destroyed her car. Robert Wesel and his wife who run this Meineke franchise looked at my sister's car and said it would cost $2,000+ to get it repaired. So my sister paid the money after draining her entire 401k retirement (seriously, she didn't have much) and had it repaired, weeks later, she had more issues, and was told it would cost another $400 to get it repaired, now, after all this money has been wasted on her car and still more issues she was told that she should no longer fix the car, because it just is not worth it, because the car is a "rust bucket" and that it is "dangerous" to drive, and could "fall apart at any time", yes, that might be correct, but of COURSE, she is told this AFTER the fact that all these repairs have been completed. It is obvious that these people have no morals, empathy, or ethics whatsoever seeing they knew this car had major issues and still went ahead and repaired them, knowing darn well this car was junk and should have never been repaired in the first place, due to the low value of the vehicle and its terrible undercarriage and condition. How can you take someone's money and later tell them that their car has the worst case of rust you have ever seen? And is not worth fixing? Robert Wesel will take all your money, and then tell you the truth after the fact. Stay away from these crooks, and no matter where you go, always get a few estimates before getting major repairs done.
