What speeds does the car shake badly?
does the steering wheel vibrate or is is the seat or floor when you feel it?
were the tires replaced in a attempt to fix the vibration?
after the tires were changed did the vibration change AT ALL?

The car shakes at anything over like 10/15 mph , the steering wheel doesn't shake but the seats do . Yes the tires were changed in hopes of fixing it because one of the rims was bent so we replaced that rim and all 4 tires . No it didn't change at all

ok so it sounds like you hit a pothole or something, the mechanic next needs to check the hub and axles, more than likely a hub got bent, it will be something rotational though in the drive train

Is that an easy fix ? Or is it going to be super expensive?

if its a hub it should be around 350 axle is about 300 , it really depends where the problem is, I dont recommend taking it to the whoever was working on it because they would have known the tires werent a issue if diagnosed properly, most should should have a licensed master tech, thats who needs to be looking at this, its going to take some pretty in depth diagnostics and experience to track it down
Still not sure what you need?
Have a certified mobile mechanic diagnose what's wrong with your car, at your home or office.
