Another success story as siblings take over the business that has been trading for over 90 years.

Part of the success of the business is down to evolution over time and the changing from their origins simply as a tyre company to a business where over half of what they do is vehicle repairs and maintenance.

Mandy Wuebbels and Mark Meckfessel now operate the Belleville business and a second shop that opened in Smithton about 11 years ago on Center Street. Kent Meckfessel worked in the family business for about 20 years and currently teaches in the automotive program at Southern Illinois University Carbondale.
