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

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."

When Comfort Turns into Concern
At Weber Automotive, we’re committed to keeping your vehicle not just running—but running safely and smoothly. Your shocks and struts play a critical role in both ride comfort and driver control. Knowing when they need replacement can prevent costly issues and improve overall safety.
Here are the top three signs it might be time to have your shocks or struts inspected.
Understanding the Signs of Worn Shocks or Struts
1. Excessive Bouncing or Clunking
One of the most obvious signs is a bouncy or unstable ride. If your vehicle continues to bounce after hitting a bump or dip, your shocks may be worn. Clunking noises when going over uneven surfaces can also point to loose or damaged components.
Think of your tires like basketballs—they must maintain contact with the road. When shocks fail, tire contact is reduced, which decreases your control and increases stopping distances.
2. Sliding Around Turns
Are you feeling like your car is “drifting” or sliding during turns? This can indicate that your shocks or struts are no longer stabilizing your vehicle properly.
Good suspension keeps your tires firmly grounded through corners. Without it, you lose handling precision and control—putting yourself and others at greater risk.
3. Increased Stopping Distances
Worn shocks and struts may significantly increase how long it takes your vehicle to come to a complete stop. If you’re noticing longer stopping di
