Woods Transmission & General Repair in
Forney (TX)

I took my Grand Cherokee to a different shop in town first but the quote was outrageous for the scope of work. Pulled up stakes and had it sent to Woods, which proved to be a fantastic move. The team here is honest, thorough, and skilled. They explained everything clearly, did excellent work, and kept me in the loop as they progressed. The repair was done right, and fair. If you need auto work, go here first. Highly recommended.

Dustin and team are great, I drive a manual and my clutch kept getting stuck in gear while driving. They were able to fix it while I was on vacation! They even found a different way to fix it that costed me way less than originally quoted and I can still drive safely!

very honest and informative. patient with me and was able to work with me and get all ny many issues resolved to my satisfaction. Extremely patient and kind

It was a great experience. Thank you Justin for going an extra mile by staying late to make sure our car was done before closing on a holiday weekend..I recommend Woods Transmission to anyone living around Forney..Ask for Justin..really nice and professional..

When I say I will NEVER go anywhere else! Dustin was great about communicating with me throughout the entire process of getting my car fixed. They fixed what they said needed to be repaired and even went above and beyond fixing things I didn’t know needed to be fixed. I thought surely I’m going to end up paying more than we discussed. NOPE! I ended up paying less. Thank you GOD that there are still honest mechanics out there like Dustin and his team!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A Gold Standard in Auto Repair — Trustworthy, Skilled, and Human I found Woods Transmission & General Auto Repair through ChatGPT while researching a slipping transmission on my 2019 F-150 — and it turned out to be the best decision I’ve made for a vehicle repair in over a decade. From day one, Dustin was honest, knowledgeable, and professional. He quickly diagnosed a common but tricky issue (CDW hub failure), walked me through my options with clarity, and didn’t try to upsell me. He even suggested I check on a potential warranty I didn’t know about — going the extra mile when he didn’t have to. Woods gave me clear timelines, stuck to them, and came in under budget. No games, no surprises — just integrity and execution. This shop is everything you hope for when you're staring down a five-figure quote and don’t know who to trust. If you’re anywhere near Forney or the DFW area and need transmission work — go here first. Dustin and the Woods team set the bar. And yes — I actually found them through AI. ChatGPT pulled through, but Woods delivered. —Michael B.

This repair company has been in business since before we moved to Forney in 1993. They do excellent work and the owner is involved every day in the repair and approval of each vehicle. They have helped me in so many ways. Thank you so much!

Called in to ask about a procedure with my vehicle. Was told they were busy, which is a good thing and believable when you give great service. Mechanic suggested for me to try something for my vehicle very minor and see if it will fix the problem and if not we will have to work it in on schedule if need be. The expertise and knowledge he gave worked. Saved both of us time and I wasn't scammed out of money! Definitely will be bringing my vehicle here for the next inevitable car problem. Thanks!

Dustin and his team were extremely knowledgeable and helpful with my vehicle. He went above and beyond to assist me, taking care of my car while I waited. Dustin is a true Master Technician. I highly recommend him and will definitely use his services in the future if I ever need assistance again. Thank you, Dustin!

My husband and I have been using Woods Automotive for almost 5 years now and I won’t take my cars anywhere else! They are reasonable with their prices and very dependable! Always friendly and will answer any questions! Thank you Dustin and Deann!

A great company, they are very honest and straight with you. They don't try to up sell you or charge you out the butt. Every time I have brought something to them they have taken good care of me and I have paid a reasonable amount. The vehicles I have brought to them have always been fixed and in good order before I leave. Definitely one of the few places you can still trust to take care of you like family.

Excellent service and friendly staff. Very fair prices. Replaced the water pump on my 2012 Chevy Cruze. Got it done in one day. Cleaned the entire engine compartment. Looks and runs SO MUCH BETTER. They go above and beyond on customer service. I am absolutely going back for any future issues. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Woods. 2 Thumbs up.

I will definitely be using Woods from here on out. I went to two different mechanics before Woods. He was the only one able to correctly diagnose and fix my car. My car was fixed quickly and correctly. They kept me informed and I did not feel taken advantage of with pricing. Overall, I recommend Woods to everyone now.

Was so nervous to not get an honest opinion from someone to diagnose what was wrong with my family van but so many people in Forney said this was the best honest place, so easy to drop off and they called so quick with what they found. Super kind kind honest people. Prices super reasonable and definitely will be using this place as my go to!

Took my car for emmissions test. Zero wait time and they were busy! I waited in the office with my grandson and had a great visit with the office manager. Chose this business because of all the great reviews and they're spot on!!

We have had 2 different vehicles that we have taken to Dustin. He has always been very honest and upfront about the issues with our aging vehicles. This latest issue turned out to be something that needed to be done by the dealer to preserve a lifetime engine warranty with our Kia SUV. He provide valuable information and earned our trust by not trying to make a buck, at our expense. We will be returning, when need arises!

My favorite Forney auto shop. Dusty, one of their mechanics, was awesome. We'll be back and would definitely recommend them. Thank you, guys. They are way better than Scott's Automotive.

I was having issues with my car and they had me to bring it in and actually they have a tow company that they use. A hell of a lot cheaper than regular tow companies. So off the top they were working to try and save me money. OK after all was said and done. They repaired my car at a beautiful price I am so happy with the quality of work. I highly recommend using them.

THANK YOU WOODS TRANSMISSION!! About a year ago I took my car to another mechanic after the check engine light came on and was told I needed to have my transmission rebuilt. I couldn't afford it at the time so the car sat in my garage. A week ago I called Woods Transmission, told them what I'd learned from the prior diagnoses, and asked them to take a look at it. Within 24 hours they had re-diagnosed the problem as an electrical issues, and not a failed transmission, with repairs costing me 1/10th what I'd previously been quoted. I really appreciated their integrity in doing their own sleuthing and not just completing the repairs I'd already told them I was expecting to have done. They'll definitely get more business from me in the future.

The best, most honest and dependable auto repair shop I’ve ever experienced, hands down. This means a lot to a girl who knows diddly squat about vehicles. I’ve always been weary about getting scammed whenever I take my car in, until I found Woods. A friend recommended them to me and I’m forever thankful. They have saved me so much money and have done great work on my little Nissan. I appreciate their work ethic and feel like their competitors should take notes.

My family has depended on Woods Auto for several years now, and every single time we bring our vehicles they have done flawless work. They make every attempt to prevent unnecessary costs and provide advice that benefits us, the customer, instead of just adding charges or cutting corners. Exemplary mechanic shop that dealers could learn from.

FIVE STARS⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ WOODS did my ac separator door replacement for $2500 LESS than all the other shops in the Forney Area. He will be getting work from me on my Jeep, and more on my Camaro. OUTSTANDING!

I’ve gotten my inspection done here for the last 3 years. They are super nice, quick, and personable. There first year I went I had just moved here and they kindly helped me with the car registration process in Texas without me even asking. If I have any issues with my car I will for sure go to them first!

We highly recommend Dustin and Woods Transmission & General Repair for any automotive needs you may have! Dustin and his team go above and beyond to take care of their customers, and it is reassuring to know that there are people you can trust to always give you the honest answer and best price available for your car repairs. The quality of their work, their pricing, their honesty, and their kindness are, literally, the best deal you’ll get in the Forney and DFW area!

Woods Automotive is your one-stop shop for all your mechanical needs. I have been taking my vehicles since around 2017, and I have never had a bad experience. Dustin and his team are customer focused and provide great service at a fair price. You can tell he enjoys his business and, at the same time, values mine. He has completed everything from state inspections all the way to a full transmission on my pick up, and every single time, I have been 100% satisfied with the communication, transparency, and professionalism. He will have the hard conversations that need to be said and provides the best options for your needs. I'm glad we have a local mechanic that we can trust and know my vehicle will be safe driving down the road.

Pulled up with no appointment. My husbands truck engine belt had just disintegrated. (I am not mechanically savvy so excuse the jargon). He has an LS swapped engine. Chad came out and helped immediately. Then swapped with Dustin. Dustin worked with my to figure out which belt he needed. Took about an hour and a half of tweaking things but they got it figured out. They were great and super friendly. Definitely would recommend!

I've written a review before, but I had to come back and add another. Dustin at Woods is the best! I grew up with a grandpa that owned one of the local gas stations and did general auto maintenance. There was a great small town feel as customer after customer came in to see him and shoot the breeze, many times without getting any gas or services. Dustin reminds me of this kind of place. He is willing to go way out of his way to help people. He recently checked on my son's car, decided there wasn't anything that needed repaired, and the bill was a whopping $0. I think this is a real rarity in today's world. If you live close enough (I'd drive a good distance), this is the shop I'd choose for my auto care needs. Hands down the best around!
