I was on the way from Wisconsin to Alabama and my trailer spindle broke. Stranded 900 miles from home Wherry was referred to help me out… From the time I brought my broken trailer in they had me back on the road in less than 3.5 hours with a reasonably priced bill.

Kevin, Tom and the whole crew at Wherry are simply amazing people. They listen extremely well, problem solve like nobody's business, and get it right every time… I've never even looked to going anywhere else in the last 25 years or so.

I needed an axle repair as a weld had broken… They examined it as soon as I arrived and were able to work on it that afternoon. Very reasonable technician rates for repair. Knowledgeable manager and technicians.

Ask if they could roll a piece for me and how soon! Steve said that he could start on it right now! Great customer service and quality! Not to mention the great prices for the quick service!
