World Wide Automotive Service

sent my mini there for servicing and so far it has been running good, they replaced my wipers for free even though I didn’t request for it. A little pricey but what made me choose this place over another dealer is the distance from campus and its Unilocal reviews, so here’s my favor to others… I’ll update it if any issues prop up with my car.

We love Worldwide and have been using them for several years. They’re always willing to discuss what needs done most in regards to our budget. They have a shuttle service which has come in handy for us several times.
It’s true that Worldwide isn’t cheap. They are, however, honest and thorough. They also operate out of a green building! How cool is that?

Worldwide fixed my overheating truck and was extremely friendly in the process, even offering a free shuttle for pickup/​drop off. They told me what they planned to do and got my approval to do it. The final cost was about $ 10 LESS than they quoted me and it was ready 2 days earlier than they projected. I suspect I could find a cheaper alternative if I was willing to risk less qualified and professional work. I have tried that in the past and sometimes won and sometimes lost. At worldwide I believe they do absolute first rate work and charge and fair price for it commensurate with the level of quality and detail.

This is our go-​to repair shop for my husband’s 2002 VW GTI. They have always been thorough, fair, up-​front, prompt, and reasonable in their pricing. The best review I can give for them is that we continue to give them business without reservation, whenever my husband’s car needs work.

I went to them because they are ASE-​certified. I paid them $ 85 for a thorough mechanical review of my vehicle. They didn’t tell me that my radiator coolant was low; they didn’t comment on the slight whistling noise from my motor; they didn’t tell me that the left front brake caliper was partly frozen up and needed to be replaced, but that the right one was still OK. They offered to charge me $ 800 for a complete front and rear brake job. I was probably (hopefully) mistaken, but in a face-​to-​face interaction with the owner of the place, I got the feeling that he didn’t want my car in the same parking lot with the BMWs and other expensive cars parked out front. So, OK, I went to Firestone for the brakes a week later. They noticed these other things, and also did the brakes — just the parts that actually *needed* to be done — for under $ 400 with coupons.

What a great place! Honest, helpful, knowledgeable, and reliable. They were always willing to give me the bottom line and help me make decisions that fit within my budget. I tried a few mechanics in town before I found World Wide, but once I found them I was a loyal customer. I moved away a few months ago, and my new mechanic has a tough act to follow thanks to World Wide! :)
