Wayne Cummins brought his passion and determination to fruition in 1997 when he began his auto repair business out of the trunk of his car. The business has grown over the years, and the need for greater space brought him to his current location at 1412 Sam Houston Avenue in Huntsville. As Wayne states, “We provide the highest quality auto care to our customers through technical excellence, continuous training, and exceptional service. Our business thrives on trust and quality, and on workmanship that we are proud to stand behind.”
Wayne is an ASE Master Certified Automobile Technician and has an extensive background with Dodge and General Motors dealerships and independent repair shops. “We maintain a friendly working relationship with other repair shops in the area and sublet to better suited shops for issues we do not specialize in and can save our customers money.” Wayne has built a team of expert technicians who have the experience and knowledge to handle any auto repair issue to get you back on the road as soon as possible.
“We use state-of-the-art tools to identify and fix problems efficiently. Our new alignment machine is the newest in technology and the best in diagnostic testing and practices.” The technicians at WC Auto have access to an online nationwide database for searching out rare as well as common auto concerns. According to Wayne, today’s vehicles have more computers, modules, and complex wiring than ever before, and therefore require extensive knowledge and technical expertise for solving problems. “We stay up on diagnostic equipment, and I keep myself and my technicians trained to diagnose complex issues.” And as he states, “This is no backyard tinkering anymore. We must learn new procedures and fixes daily to meet the needs, and it will continue to get more complex.”
WC Auto provides comprehensive repair and maintenance services and can meet the many challenges a situation may present. From minor fixes to major overhauls, the WC Auto team has the skills and technology to handle it all. Their list of services includes:

The TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) provides diagnostics for proper inflation and the need for repairs. Keep an eye out for cracks, bulges, uneven wear, and low tread depth.

To keep your system at top running condition, advanced diagnostics are used to detect leaks, blockages, and electrical faults. Services also include refrigerant recharge, compressor repair and replacement, evaporator and condenser repairs, and blower motor and fan repairs. If weak airflow, lack of cooling, strange noises, unpleasant odors, or water leaks inside the car are present, it may indicate AC problems.

The following conditions may indicate a problem: dimming or flickering lights, frequent dead battery, unresponsive power accessories, a burning smell, and dashboard warning lights.

One of the following conditions may signal a problem: bumpy or rough ride, pulling to one side, uneven tire wear, nose diving or squatting, or steering wheel vibration.
Comprehensive battery services include testing and replacement, terminal cleaning and repairs, and charging system inspection. If one of the following conditions is present, it may be time to have the battery checked: slow engine crank, dim lights or electrical issues, frequent jump-starts, or corroded terminals.
Asked about the future of auto repair work, Wayne is committed to providing more hybrid and electric car services. “These vehicles are on the road, and we continue to train and educate ourselves to provide quality care for these newer types of automobiles.” And he states that in general, for all types of vehicles, technology is and will become more costly to repair. WC Auto is ready to meet the challenges of the future.
Wayne’s advice to auto owners is to protect yourself from improperly trained mechanics working on your vehicle. “Sometimes it can cost more to repair after it has been ‘fixed cheaper.’ And pay attention to warning lights and unusual sounds. Early detection may save a lot of money overall.”
