I had prior issues with my alignment, and the mechanic shop back home seemed to make it worse. However, Woodys just finished my alignment and its perfect! Not only are they extremely knowledgeable, but friendly and welcoming as well. They made sure that I received the best possible care, and for that Im so grateful. This is now my go-to auto shop!!!

Traveling from NE to St Louis we nearly lost a tire on I 70...only two lug nuts leftAAA delivered our car to Woodys.We learned quickly why AAA suggested Woodys!Mike found a reconditioned part that shipped the fastest. Worked on it right away to get us going again!He routinely kept me updated on status and options instead of us wondering or having to contact him.Thanks so much Mike and team!!!!Awesome service!

Out of town for our wedding and get a flat tire. Before traveling, we noticed we had tire issues and got it looked at by other repair shops and they did not spot anything. Once near Columbia, our tire gave out again. We knew no one or any businesses near by and had the car towed to Woody’s by a luck of chance. Mike was super reliable, fast, and honorable. He took the tire off and showed me the two nails in the tire. John in the front office was awesome, too. Thank you for the peace of mind and a great experience in such a tough position!! I wish there was a Woody’s near my home!

We were traveling from out of town and our truck broke down half a mile from Woodys. They were able to take our vehicle in and assess the repairs quickly. They gave us a fair price for the needed repairs and were able to get us back on the road quickly. I wish that we had a repair shop in our hometown with the efficiency and customer service practices that we experienced at Woodys. GREAT JOB Mike and John! Thank you!Ill recommend you and your shop All Day Long!

I wanted to post and say that John, the gentleman who helped me, was courteous and professional as well as friendly. I would recommend to anyone to visit these guys!

Mike and John are always friendly and seem to genuinely care for the cars they work on and the families that drive them around. They are great to help you keep your car in top shape and not cost an arm and a leg! They’ve worked on our Audi and our Buick and we would trust them with any other make or model! Thanks guys!

Honestly best mechanic Ive ever been to. Unbelievably honest and fair Ive never had a better experience.

My daughter is in college in Columbia and she wrecked her car, Im several hours away so I was very worried about someone working on her car when I cant be there. Mike was awesome through the whole process and did a fantastic job at a fair price for the amount of work that had to be done.. I have not met him in person but I would recommend them to anyone looking for a reputable mechanic. Thanks again for everything Mike.

On the way back to IL from Denver, CO, my girlfriend and I hit something on the road that bent both rims on the passenger side in a way that left us with two flat tires. After having been stuck in a blizzard for two days on the way to Denver this was the last thing we needed. Luckily we had AAA and were able to get towed 140 miles from Olathe, KS to Woodys Auto Center in Columbia, MO. After two late hours in the truck we put ourselves up at a motel expecting to hear nothing but bad news the next morning. Upon explaining the situation to Mike, he assured me they would do everything they could to get me on the road before the end of the day. Still not totally convinced I went back to the motel room. Although good news was the tires werent damaged (dont ask me how) it didnt look good as far as price and availability for the rims. New/Used ones were 1-3 days out and it was expected to be a $600-$1000 repair. Mike came through for us in the end and was able to get a metal worker to get the kinks out of the rims for half the lowest original projected cost. It was obvious that these guys cared about the customer and the work they did without trying to rip you off. In the bind we were in they had every chance to take advantage of our situation and instead did everything in their power to send us on our way as quickly and cheaply as possible. Im not normally one to write reviews but after my experience at Woodys I felt compelled to pay their kindness forward, they more than deserve it.

Mike and Ari are the best! Theyve saved me on more than one occasion. They worked on my car last year over 4th of July and just this week. Great customer service is hard to get these days and Im just amazed at how professional and nice they are. Being a young female I did not feel like they were taking advantage of that at all, they are very understanding and great at explaining things. I even accidentally turned in my apartment keys along with my car keys right before the weekend so I left them a message and they got them back to me the next day. I am so grateful for them especially for getting my car fixed and back to me quicker than I ever expected. Thank you so much for everything!

Mike and his staff are super reliable to fix anything. Always super busy, so dont expect to just walk in and get an oil change without making an appointment.

I couldnt be happier with Woodys Auto Center. John and Mike help myself and daughter after our car died just 12 hours before we had to leave for Kentucky. We had our car towed to Woodys and Mike was able to squeeze us in to diagnose, evaluate & expedite the repair. His knowledge of auto repair was evident as he was able to interpret the computer codes that were inconclusive, but successfully recommended the right repair. Gratefully, we were able to make it to Kentucky without issue and our Pontiac G6 is running great. THANKS to Mike for the expertise. And thanks to John who is one of the most patient and helpful front office managers Ive ever dealt with -- GREAT JOB !!!!

Good first experience. Ill be back.

Wooodys gave me great service and was wonderful with explaining exactly what needed to be done to my car. It felt like they really care that I understand! I highly recommend them!

An overdue thanks for Mike and his garage -- he worked over the weekend and on Easter Sunday to fix my trucks clutch cylinders and get me back on the road, even when things got complicated. Made it home safely on a cross-country trip thanks to him!

Could not be happier with my experience at Woodys. Had my wifes car towed there when it went in to limp mode and they did not try to up sell anything. Diagnosed the problem quickly and told me it was an easy fix I could do myself. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for an honest and reliable shop for any automotive work. Will definitely be my first choice with any of my cars in the future.

After trying multiple mechanics in Columbia, my wife and I have taken our cars exclusively to Woodys for the last three years. Mike, the owner, is incredibly honest and hardworking. This Thanksgiving eve, he stayed beyond the shops closing time to personally attend to an oil leak. Not only that, but he cleaned the spark plug wells and resealed the gasket at no cost to us because he couldnt get the part he needed in time. Woodys is worth every penny!

Their service is wonderful they do what they say theyre going to do and they take very good will of your vehicle and their prices aint too bad if you are a AAA member because you get discounts. And when they tell you that day give you a deadline of when your vehicle will be done they follow that deadline. All I know is I plan on taking my vehicle back there they did a wonderful job. I recommend this place.

My daughter is a student in Columbia and I live out of state. She got into her first accident and working with Mike and his staff made feel at ease. They were in constant contact and making me aware of the work that need it to get done to assure my daughter not only get her car back in a reasonable time but it was in safe working condition. Thanks great work.

Everyone is always nice when I pick up the Wardrobe key. I just wish there was more parking.

Great customer service! They were very friendly and made a great impression. They really care about doing a good job. Its true that their fixes take a bit more time, but I would rather have something done the right way the first time and thats what youll get here.

My vehicles transmission had been acting strange an i figured it was time to change the transmission fluid (after that my vehicle ran like a champ again). while it did take a little bit of time they explained why as well as offered to have me wait in a nice waiting area with refreshments. They also did a courtesy check over my vehicle and told me everything that was wrong with it and what needed to be fixed to pass my next inspection without being pushy about them needing to fix it. I will be using them from now on. Thank you.

We took our car to get it checked out before our cross-country trip. The Trip Check cost $95 off the top without making any repairs. They are incredibly slow. I took my car in for a 9 a.m. appointment on a Friday. They didnt even look at it until 3:30 that day and closed at 5 p.m. They found numerous problems, so we asked what absolutely needed to be done for our trip. I told them what I wanted. They said the car would be done Monday afternoon, especially since theyre closed on Saturdays. I called on Monday and they still werent done. They finally finished the car on Tuesday.When I went to pick it up, they were going to charge me more than what we had agreed to, which was $1200. I had to correct them on their math. They did charge me the agreed upon price, but called it something like a customer grace refund, even though the problem was on their end.Then, while we were driving cross country, we started having car troubles. We ended up having to spend more money and half a day out of our trip to determine what was wrong and get it fixed. It turns out, the car was low on transmission fluid. That is something that any garage doing a trip check, oil change and tune-up on a vehicle should check for.I would not recommend this garage to anyone.

Totally lame... Should have read reviews, before givinginto the fear of being stranded.I was traveling around the country, and on one morningwhile in Columbia, My Honda Accord started with difficulty.I turned the key, and nothing, did it a few more times, nothing,turned off the radio, AC, tried once more, and it started.Decided, that I should have it checked out, and after callinga few places, who were booked solid found Woodys (now I knowwhy they were not solidly booked). They took a look at it,FOR $50.00!, and told Me I needed My starter motor replaced,and that it would be $344.00 (a $49.00 starter marked up to $99.00,plus labor). The work was completed, I was told about the 2 yearwarranty on parts and labor, and sent on My way. Next morning,same thing, when I went to start the car! worried I would not make ithome, I drove straight through, back to Connecticut, and gave thema call... Long story short, the warranty covers the starter, which isntfaulty, and I was totally taken advantage of, having paid for a fairlymajor, totally unnecessary repair. It turned out to be a bad ignitionswitch, which cost Me less than $60.00 to have repaired, and I ambasically S.O.L.. My only recourse is to hope that an unwittingconsumer will read this, and go someplace else...

What can I say about Mike and the crew at Woodys? I have been doing business with them for almost 20 years and I recommend them to anyone I meet looking for repairs done right. Mike has gone above and beyond on occasion for me to make sure I had a vehicle ready for a trip. Competence, integrity, and just down right friendly. I hope to be doing business with them for the next 20 years.

Car broke down while traveling from STL to Columbia. Woodys fixed my car very quickly (less than 24hrs). All of the guys there are extremely polite and helpful. AAA discount! 10/10 would recommend.

Professional and righteous service. Had to have my car re painted and they did a fantastic job. Will highly recommend this place to friends and family. Thanks to the owner Mike for all of his help

I went in to get my AC diagnosed. The first time they said 30-45 minutes but it ended up being over 2 hours. They found no codes and the freon checked out so I scheduled another diag. They said that it probably wasnt the compressor to which I agreed because a faulty compressor is likely to output a code. After the second round of testing they claimed that it is the compressor. I was confused but agreed to have the work done anyways. They said that they would email or call me for the estimate. Again strange as I have never had a shop not be able to give an estimate in more than a few minutes. I asked for an email so I could get the numbers in hand. The following week I called and asked about the email and they said that they would send it by the end of the day. I waited a day and called back again and the guy blamed his email system. It felt like a jerk around so I asked that they provide me with absolute evidence that it is the AC compressor so that when I take it to the next shop I dont have to pay for diagnostics or just refund my money. He said that it would be useless to provide me with the info because another shop would just do diagnostics anyways. I asked for a refund and he said that he would have someone call me in a bit. Nobody ever called.I sincerely believe that they never even looked at my car. Im taking my car to Dents Unlimited for everything now.

I would like to highly recommend Woodys Auto Center. An unknown light came on in my car while I was driving from St. Louis to Columbia for a business trip. I contacted Woodys Auto Center, they gave me recommendations for a hotel to stay at while I waited for them to check it out. The next day they tested it and gave me a full report that there was no serious problem and the car was safe to drive. Mike, the owner even drove to the hotel to pick me up to get the car. They were so kind and reassuring during a stressful time. I cannot thank them enough.

Both of my sons go to college at MU and used Woodys Auto Center for their car repairs. The service, communication, quality of work was excellent. There were often times they needed someone to count on to help them with their vehicles while away at school and Mike made sure they got the help they needed. Many Thanks.

My son’s 2001 Saab broke down halfway between St. Louis and Columbia. He is a student at Mizzou and we live in Los Angeles. There was little I could do but go on-line and search for help. In the end, I called Woody’s and hoped for the best. Now I wish I could move Woody’s to LA. Mike Dennison and his crew were wonderful during that misadventure, and they’ve continued the fine service in subsequent visits. They have my wholehearted recommendation.

Woodys is the place to go in mid Missouri!!! I have had some bad experiences with auto repair places in the past...I feel SO lucky to have found Woodys in Columbia. Unlike some car places, they are honest, fast, and reliable. They always get me in as soon as possible (usually same day or next day) and get my car back to me promptly. Mike, the owner, is so kind and provides excellent customer service. Again, I am thankful to have found such a wonderful business in Columbia!!

Took the car in for what I thought might be alternator repair, they said they found the brake pads were worn out and would have to be replaced They only mentioned that the pads themselves were the part that needed fixing in the over the phone estimate. The wording their mechanic used made it sound like an additional 100, which I agreed to. They took this as a cue to do 500 worth of repairs on the whole brake system. TLDR, if they feel like they can take advantage of you they will. P.S. they have disabled the review feature on their facebook page... wonder why...

Ive had several vehicles over the years serviced by Woodys. For me, trusting my mechanic is a big deal, and time and again, the patience, willingness to explain, and most importantly top quality work with dependable parts and warranty, has proved for me that Woodys service is worth recommending.

Mike is the greatest! He not only listened to my concerns about my car, but he took the time to listen to/for the noise I was talking about to make sure we were on the same page. The price quote he gave me was spot on for the things he had listed to fix. He also reviewed a few other things with me when I picked up my car. Most places always try to upsell you on services, I felt Mike truly wanted to make sure I knew about the small things he pointed out and didnt bat an eye when I said I would work on them myself. I never felt any pressure to have more done than I wanted.

The front counter guy is nice. The technician is incompetent and likes to fix things that dont need fixing. He over charged me to fix a vacuum leak that didnt need fixing and didnt even fix it. That left Mike, the owner who is very kind, to deal with it.

We were traveling across country in a Westfalia campervan when we broke down in the middle of nowhere. Called AAA . Took a 100 mile tow to Woodys, getting there at 5:15 P.M. Wednesday night. Not only did they lock the van in a secure area, but the owner, Mike, personally drove us across town to a motel that better fit our needs. The next day, they diagnosed the problem and arranged to have the necessary parts flown in. Once again, Mike provided us with the transportation. We were back on the road by Friday evening. They were extremely friendly, polite and went above and beyond to get us on the road again. We were able to drive to Maine without any further problems. I would not hesitate to go to Woodys again (if I was in the area) and would definitely recommend the business to others. Thanks, Mike.

Complete scam artists. We dropped our car off to fix the blinker. When we wouldnt buy any of the over priced services they kept pushing at us, they BROKE our windshield wiper and tried to say it was ripped. After we go home, we realized that they just took it apart to try to sell us theirs. I just put it back together. They are scam artists.

Absolutely the slowest service I have ever seen. My car has been there for 6 weeks and still has not been repaired. The only time I hear from them is when I call them. Each time they say they were just getting ready to call me for an update. Bull****!

Great prices and service. Always come here for my car problems.

Well me an some friends were taking a road trip we broke down and ended up going through a mess. Well we baby the car over to woodys. Keep in mind we knew what was wrong with the car an we had just got hit by a car.. after breaking down anyways i paid Mike $$130.00 dollars and some change to put a hose an a knuckle in the water pump. I seen them replace the part. Then he had my cousin sign the car over an tried to say the headgasket was blown but if the head gasket was blown we wouldnt of made it to woodys. Very dissappointed . Also he didnt offer to start the car after words. An if my cousin was gonna sign it over to him i shouldnt have had to pay for work he did to his own car.. i feel like i literally got raped.

Good service and always takes care of my car. Genuine customer service.

Been using them for years and have always done right by family.

Nice AAA garage to get your RV fixed

FANTASTIC SERVICE AND FAMILY RUN BUSINESS. MY FIRST CHOICE IN COLUMBIA FOR CAR MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS!

They never got back with me on a quote for repairs.

Great job and very personable people.

Very nice costumer service, we were moving to another state and our car start giving problems, we found this shop, and even they where about to close, they took the time to give us advice before close, thank you very much Mike for your time.

Mike at Woodys is the only place I will take my vintage SAAB in mid Missouri!

Great people

Came in for an estimate and had to wait about 30 minutes despite making an appointment. Was told I would get an email of the estimate and after calling for 2 days plus waiting over the weekend, I gave up and went somewhere else. Still never got it.

It was very helpful

Just genuinely good people

Shifty Service
