What do You Like Best About Working at Weber?
Mary
"I like my guys; it's what I always say. I'm the only woman in the company, but I love the family atmosphere that we have and the camaraderie that we have. We're always laughing and joking and having a really good time. I love coming to work every day."
James
"It's a small, tight-knit group of people that are really customer-focused and family-focused, both inside and outside of work. I like it."
Jason
"I like not just helping customers and helping people and help keep their cars on the road, but just the general camaraderie we have with each other."
How Does This Job Compare to Others You've Had in the Past?
Mary
"Our boss, Bryan Weber, is just fantastic. He treats his employees so well and really fosters a great culture here. Just a family atmosphere."
James
"It's fast-paced, but in a different way compared to say, like a corporate work environment."
Jason
"The camaraderie with each other. But not only that, just the overall sense of taking care of our customers and not just the number, they're just genuine people like family and friends to us."
What is One Customer that Really Stands Out to You?
Mary
"We had a customer who was traveling cross country, and when they got to Wisconsin, they broke down, and they called us because it turns out a part that we had recently replaced had gone bad." So being that we are a AAA approved auto care center and a NAPA Auto Care Center, we were able to intervene. We got that part replaced for them at absolutely no charge, got the tow taken care of for no charge, so it felt really good to be able to help them out."
Jason
We had a customer bring his motor home style van in with a vibration issue. He was a new customer who couldn't find an appointment anywhere for months. We were able to get him in and solve his issue, and he was so happy and grateful. It made us feel really great!
What Would You Say to Someone Considering Working at Weber?
Mary
"I would say definitely come check us out, get to know us, come say hi. We just have a great time. We really take care of our clients or our family, our extended family, and then I highly recommend it. So give us a call."
Jason
"Do it! I know that's the simple answer, but come in and check us out. You know, hang out for a little bit made us look around, look at the shop. You know, meet everybody here. I think you'll see you like what you find."

You are crawling through Cleveland traffic on a July afternoon. The sun hits your windshield, the cabin heats up, and just when you need relief most, your AC turns lukewarm at the red light. Then it cools again once you are moving. Frustrating and all too common.
Here is the good news. We diagnose and fix this exact problem every summer at Weber Automotive. I am Bryan Weber, and our team has a simple way to explain what is happening and how to get your cool air back.
Why Cold Air Turns Warm at Idle
Your air conditioning relies on airflow through the condenser, which sits at the front of your vehicle. While you are moving, natural airflow cools the condenser and helps produce cold air. When you stop, the system depends on an electric cooling fan to keep that air moving.
If the fan does not run at idle:
Airflow across the condenser drops
Pressure in the AC system climbs
The vents start blowing warm air
In some cases, the engine temperature can also creep up
This is one of the biggest reasons AC feels cold while you are driving but warm at a stop.
A Quick DIY Check You Can Do Safely
If you are comfortable taking a quick look, try this:
Park safely, set the parking brake, and pop the hood.
Start the engine and turn the AC to max.
Use a flashlight to look toward the radiator area. Keep hands and tools clear of moving parts.
The electric cooling fan should start running with the AC on. You should see it spin, hear it, and feel airflow.
If the fan does not run and yo
If a seller will not let you take a car for an independent inspection, walk away. We have even told shoppers that a free car would be a bad deal, because it needed that much work. When the average new car tops $50,000 and the average used car hovers around $30,000, a smart inspection is not a luxury, it is protection.
The Problem: Big Investment, Little Protection
Most used cars are sold as is, which means the risk sits squarely on your shoulders. There is often little to no warranty, and cosmetic shine can hide expensive mechanical issues. That is exactly why we offer a thorough pre-purchase inspection, so you know what you are buying, what it needs now, and what it may need soon.
At Weber Automotive, we are committed to helping you avoid surprise repairs, negotiate with confidence, and make a purchase you can feel good about.
What Our Pre-Purchase Inspection Includes
Our used car inspection is built to uncover the truth before you sign:
Multi-page, detailed checklist of all major systems
Clear documentation with pictures and video when helpful
Prioritized findings, what needs attention now and what is coming up
Written estimates for any recommended repairs
A report you can take back to the dealership or private seller
The service is about $210, and in our experience, 98 percent of the time we find more than that amount in needed work. The inspection often pays for itself in negotiation leverage, or by saving you from a money pit.
