Amazing facility.

Need to complete work that's paid for in advance

Nobody answering the phone I don't think they're open

The trickery of this place. Promises, fast talking...no integrity. I was completely slighted by these people. I left here feeling completely duped and my vehicle is still not fixed.

I went there for a service on my BMW. Now I need a new engine. I didn’t go there with this problem. This is ridiculous. I had a idle problem and needed an oil change. Eric kept insisting on doing his special flush job. Whatever he did, messed my car up. It doesn’t pay to trust a friend. I went on vacation to come back to this. He told me over the phone that my vehicle was fixed and running like a brand new car. When I started it up, it sounded like a pickup truck with new tail pipes.

Eric and his crew are friendly and courteous. They really know cars and do a great job. They give you a quote and stick to it. The prices are fair.

Something drastic has changed at Woodbine automotive. Quality is gone and prices are high. $150 to change out headlight bulbs and more recently Eric held onto my mini for two months and got the work done wrong. Sent it in with a clutch that was slipping and a noise from the passenger front suspension. Got it back with a shifter that won't shift and the noise is still in the suspension. Enough is enough. My suggestion is if you have to take it there be careful. My car is going elsewhere for now on.

Poor service

Honest Mechanic. Don't need to say anything else. 4 stars because a lot of other people know it and you have to wait your turn.

My wife family own the shop. What I know about car business is that it can be tricky and hard, I've been gouged out of major $$ before messing around with some of these shops . Some reviews are talking about the small things like oil change or emission. But my wife go there for the big things: Starter, transmission work, body work, axel, ABS Brake, Engine (these are some of the things we had fixed at Woodbine) The diagnosis is on point (before I let my wife go in, I usually take her car to dealership for free diagnostic print out, so I know what is wrong) Point is the work is quality. If you are expecting street mechanic prices...this is not the place. Their prices are comparable to other shops, they get the diagnostics right and they are much cheaper than dealership.

Quick and professional service for my emissions

Competent, honest mechanics

Do NOT go here. Terrible service. I paid over $140 for an oil change that took a full hour -- 3x longer than they said. When I asked why I was paying $96 for 3.5 qts of oil that is $40 or less for 5 qts online, I was assured that it's because EVIL CONGLOMERATES LIKE WALMART can undersell, but MOM AND POP STORES like them have to charge the full price! If I go to Autozone, this is the price I'll see! Only the Autozone website lists the local prices as $35... I was late to work already and too uncomfortable to argue with them so I just paid and left, but next time I'll go to some evil conglomerate with standardized low pricing so that mom and pop don't rip me off. I asked for the $5 off an oil change coupon I saw on their website, and they assured me they would put it on my bill, but they didn't even do that. DO NOT GO HERE unless you are prepared for a huge bill and fighting for every penny. But what else can you expect from a place with not one but TWO signs up on their office door joking about how trust and kindness are for idiots?

I've used Woodbine Auto a few times over the past two years for various jobs. I was referred by a co-worker who knew the owner well, so I was a little sceptical at first, but then pleasantly surprised after my first interaction. The girls who help manage the shop are amazing! They are always friendly and knowledgable and genuinely care about the quality of service they provide. I've tried using other mechanics closer to home but the service just does not compare...DEFINITELY worth the drive!! Keep up the good work!
