Steve and Jesus were wonderful. In and out in 20 minutes for a battery swap at a fraction of the price I would get at the dealer. Highly recommend.

I dropped off a pair of outdrive tilt trim motors to be checked out and serviced if NEEDED. After about a week with no contact from shop I called to inquire the status of said motors because I was going put of town for a week. I spoke to the manager Mark he informed me the motors were apart on technicians work station. I asked, " I thought you were going to call to give rebuild price" mark the manager went off on me, " I don't think we are the shop for you, come and get your "SHIT".

Mind you both motors were functioning when I brought them in I wanted them TESTED they were working Uninstalled, but under load nothing. Mark was very UNPROFESSIONAL. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS SHOP, Mark IS VERY RUDE!

The worst service I've EVER had. I did customer service all my life I can judge it. I brought a brand new alternator in to have it modified for use with a external regulator. I included the documentation for the regulator in detail. They called me to pick it up Got there and Don tells me it was a cheap Chinese knock off. I didn't know. But all I asked give me enough info to make it work with my regulator. HE COMPLETELY REFUSED TO HELP ME OUT!

Anybody else would have had a little empathy. It Don. He flat out refused. I'm surprised they didn't call me and tell me in advance that the alternator was not what it what it seemed to be. Never EVER go here EVERRRRRRR.

This is my third time doing business with Wayne electric. Mostly having starters rebuilt for my boat and generator. Each and every time I they did an incredibly professional job in a very short period of time, And we're either priced at their estimate or below. When does this ever happen? Fortunately they are close by but I would drive 50 miles to do business with them if I had to.

This is the 3rd windlass motor I've brought them, and this one was an old seized maxwell motor from 1987 and they come out perfect every time. $600 is so much better than $4k for a new one and they work so quickly. Took less than a week. Services: Electrical repair, Electrical

Great service. Knowledgeable. My husband is making me do this review, and he truly appreciated how everyone he worked with was so amazing. Juan worked on the boat. And both people in the shop were all very professional, knowledgeable, and professional.

Wayne' s Electric put new batteries - rebuilt the alternators and tracked down a bad circuit breaker in my boat. Their employees are very polite, friendly, don't make a mess and most importantly know what they are doing. Very fair price on top of the rest. I highly recommend them.

Steve told me he would call before he worked on my car. He did not. He replaced my battery cable. He charged me 95.00 his hourly wage. When I went to get my car and brought up him not calling first he said "I'm not seeing any appreciation from you." While my car was there 24 hours 5 of my in dash CDs disappeared

These guys will rip you off. They had my car for over 3 months trying to fix the fuel gauge on my 1959 Cadillac. Called them every couple weeks and they just give me the run around I think because I'm a woman. Finely got the car back and the fuel gauge still does not work and that cost me $300. If you have a classic car do yourself a favor take it somewhere else.

I dropped my 71 mustang off on May 3rd because it wouldn't start. I had to call every 3 days to check in on my car to get an update on the work that needs to be done. They told me they would call me and let me know by the end of the day every time I've called to ask, never got a call. 2 weeks later they tell me they have to switch a distributor out.

That job takes literally 2 hours max! Now it's almost been a month, car is still sitting outside with the hood opened, getting my engine wet and rusty, and I still haven't received one phone call updating me on the progress of my car. I've been up there twice and you can see that other projects ave priority, but why? Poor service, they probably do good work, but I wouldn't know because they haven't gotten anything done.

My advice is to live up to your word. Don't tell customers you'll do something and it doesn't get done. And treat everyone the same. I've been there twice and my car is the only muscle car I've seen that stays outside, even if it has rust.

I didn't get to have anything done with my car so they suggested me to the dealer. Steve tried his best to help very polite and helpful. If I ever have any issues I'll be coming back here for sure! Customer service is a 10!

I had a problem with the running lights on my Toyota Tundra. Brought it in and they fixed it quickly and the communication was excellent. Extremely fair pricing. I would not hesitate to recommend this shop to anyone.

Dishonest company. Even though we have an account with them they decline my warranty. They wanted to see the actual paper receipt regardless that they can see in their system that I have warranty and purchased the product there. Will take my business somewhere else I don't need your approval to take my business elsewhere. First thing you said was I need a receipt.

Then later you stated that it was probably out of warranty anyway. Did not want to bother to check regardless of having a business account there. Keep up the good work with your dishonest business practices.

Steve was awesome. The alternator on our Hyundai Santa Fe went out during our family trip. Steve was extreamly helpful and understanding of our circumstances, considering that our 7 and 8 year old kids were with us. They obtained the part and had it replaced very promptly, allowing us to safely head home to San Diego. Great service. Great attitude.

Wayne came upon a recommendation and I am so happy we followed that recommendation and took our truck to Wayne Electric. Steve is really easy to work with and his technicians (Juan) are very talented at their trade. Our AC unit was fried as well as much wiring in our diesel truck. Steve & Juan had us with very cold and functioning AC in no time. The prices were very fair. We will be back to Wayne Electric for all of our electrical needs. Thanks guys!

I seldomly write negative reviews, however this particular business I feel let me down in multiple ways. Came here in Mid April to replace a high powered alternator for a bus that I have paid close to $1500.00 parts N labor, NOT CHEAP. Everything went down south this past friday July 14th. I expected way better than that for that price and for them to back there work and PRODUCTS. THEY DO NOT, if you are looking for value and product Longevity go else where.

I had to pay close to $400.00 for them to fix it, they did not tell me about the charging extra before the fact. They just said we do not cover burned alternators but let me see what I can do. Surprise surprise you owe us $385.00 we do not back up our products. They asked also if I left anything on to drain the batteries I said why would I? The alternator was smoking last friday and lost a lot business because of that.

I never touched or drained it, just a defective part. The only reason why they got 2 stars instead of 1 star is because Steve is a really nice guy I know he does not call the shots. Taking my business elsewhere when i am in the market again for an alternator hopefully Not in a couple of months again.

Had my 2004 Suburban set up with a a dual battery system here. Work was done extremely well. All the wiring is nice and tidy. Looks like it came from the factory this way. System works great as well no more worrying about run down batteries when camping in the back country with the family. Was not cheap but the price was fair for what I was requesting. Will definitely be going back for all future electrical and wiring needs.

Would not recommend taking your car there for Auto Electric work these guys charge $200-$300 and change out good parts and say they were bad

Brought in an expensive alternator to get repaired. The staff was real helpful, fixed it quick for a good price. Alternator works fine now. Update: my alternator didn't seem to be charging right so I brought it back, they ended up keeping my bronco for a few hours and discovered my pulley belt wasn't tight enough. They fixed it and didn't charge me anything.mind you I'm the one who installed it. Awesome service. Alternator works great now.

I had my Saturn Vue towed to Wayne Electric on a recommendation from one of their competitors as the competitor was too busy to help me. I dealt with Steve Dickson who let me know my alternator had failed. I had them replace the alternator. Upon driving the vehicle the same electrical problem presented itself. I spoke to Steve who said to bring the car back.

It took a while to resolve the problem because the technician had difficulty replicating the problem. (It seems you can't track down the source of an electrical problem if it is not happening.) However, they persevered and were able to observe the problem and trace the fault and fix it. Would I return to Wayne Electric for service in the future? Without hesitation! Would I recommend this shop to my friends and family? Absolutely!
