Woody’s Auto Care

These guys are the best! I call with a problem and it’s fixed!!! This girl is customer for life!

Woody and his crew are honest, reliable and great. We trust them with our cars and any questions we have.

I went to Woody’s as I had a kitten fall out of my engine compartment and I thought that there was another kitten stuck in there. To make a long story short! Woody, his son Chris and the young man that works for them (sorry I don’t know his name) Took the fenders and any thing else off my Honda Pilot that was removable (which believe me was a lot), used an optic camera, flashlights and lots of man hours to look in every nook and cranny for that kitten. They even left food and water out in the garage in case it came out that night. The kitty wasn’t there after all! I expected a huge bill! But these Tender Hearted Men (Teddy Bears) didn’t charge me a dime, how Wonderful. You can’t find better service, honesty or just plain great guys anywhere. Thank goodness we have them here in IB. Thanks again from the bottom of my heart!

Great customer service! Came in for a diagnostic check for my Magnum. Woody checked my vehicle and recommended me to a muffler shop to fix my car problem. Woody saved me money, pain and time. Thank you for your great customer service. You have my business.

My car broke down just up the street from Woody’s. I called for help and Woody sent over one of his guys nearly before they closed. The guy drove up less than 10mins. He helped me and even put gas in my car because it was really low on gas (just on the «E» red line just yet). He got my car to start! One thing I learned on a VERY hot day is to not get too close to the «E» line. That was the first time it ever happened to me. But I hear it happens often. THANK YOU WOODY!!!

Great customer service from Chris! Honest repair shop :)

Wow!!! Looked up «best rated car care» on Unilocal and let me tell you the positive reviews do NOT dissapoint. This place is great. Went in for a diagnostic cause 2 different mechanics told me 2 different things about my car. Needed to just get a final say, they went ahead and ran a Compression Check to see if my engine was any good before doing the diagnostic. Any other place would charge the diagnostic, say it might be the engine and charge u for both. Not Woody’s. Turns out the engine needs to be replaced which is a bummer but on the upside, I found a place who is honest and will not try to upsell you or charge you for unecissary work. They even let me keep my car parked there over the weekend since towing costs are crazy on weekends.
As someone who doesnt know anything about cars its nice to find a completely reliable and trustworthy place like this. Chris was a big help on Friday. Talk about superior customer service. Woody himself was very helpful as well when I came back on Monday. All in all I’ll never deal with another automotive place. Woody’s has a new life long customer. Thanks again guys.

Couldn’t be happier with these guys. Amazing customer service and genuine, honest people that aren’t looking to screw you over for a buck. As a female, I hate going to auto shops as I always feel like my ignorance of all things auto-​related is being taken advantage of, and I usually leave with a significantly lighter wallet than I had planned to.
I’ve been to Woody’s several times and they’re always fair in pricing and never try to up-​sell me on anything. Recently, one of my headlights went out. I had the new bulb, but no idea how to install it. My husband was out of town, so I took it down to Woody’s and they installed it for me. When I tried to pay them, they told me not to worry about it. This meant a great deal to me, as my husband’s work takes him away quite a bit, so I’m always facing little obstacles that’d be a whole lot easier if he were here. And I think Woody’s understood that, and that small act of kindness and compassion truly brightened my day, and as silly as it sounds, just made me feel more optimistic about humanity in that moment, and like I needed to pay it forward :)
My husband took my car down there a few days ago as the AC/(air blower in general) had stopped working, and he also wanted to thank them personally for helping me out in his absence. I expected to be car-​less for several days, but they fixed the problem in a matter of hours (among other issues). I was definitely harboring some anxiety about how much it was going to cost, but again, they were completely fair and reasonable. And now, I get to drive places midday without sweating like I just completed a marathon.
I won’t be taking my car anywhere else from now on, and if you’re looking for an auto shop with decent people that are trustworthy and also get the job done quick, then I would recommend you choose Woody’s!

Friendly and honest! Took my car in to Woody’s to get a second opinion on some work quoted for me. I am so glad I brought my car to Woody’s. Mossy Honda of Lemon Grove told me I needed $ 2400 of repairs done to my van, saying I needed a new battery, new alternator, and new front and back breaks among several other small things. Long story short my alternator, battery, and front breaks are just fine and my repairs are only $ 800 at Woody’s. Proving that Mossy Honda of Lemon Grove are liars and money driven cheats taking advantage of innocent customers, not to mention the condescending attitude from the service rep towards women. Thank you Woody’s for being fast, honesty, and friendly.

Best customer service I have ever experienced in an auto mechanic shop, hands down! Took care of the problem and are more than fair on there prices. I definitely recommend this shop !!!

To update my original post. I called the Bureau of Automotive Repair about my transmission. After the inspector went there to Woody’s he called me and said they had some housekeeping issues (my greasy floormat) and also said that Woody’s is supposed to write up a estimate on the work being done before you leave and have dropped off your car which they didn’t do. They had to refund all my money.
I’m still thinking about taking them to small claims court for a replacement transmission.

Woody’s Auto went above and beyond our expectations. My husband’s battery terminal and cables were corroded. We couldn’t just clean it off. We knew we had to get a new battery and replace the cable. They quoted us at $ 150. It was 3:30 on a Friday. Luckily his car was just down the street from Woody’s. We called the tow truck, but we were worried it wouldn’t come before the shop closed. While he waited, Woody’s came by and jump started the car. They were able to fix it before they closed! My husband was so happy he tried to tip them $ 20, but they wouldn’t take it. Woody’s — you earned yourself a couple new loyal customers.

Woody’s is amazing! I drove my car all the way across country, and along the way, it start making all kinds of wheel noise. I took it in to Woody’s and they fixed it right up good as new! Woody and Chris are great guys, super friendly, and easy to talk to. I would highly recommend going to them for all your auto care needs!

We usually take our cars to Joe’s auto in point Loma, but wasn’t sure if my car would make it there. We decided to look at the Unilocal reviews in our area and Woody’s has 5 stars across the board. Called and spoke directly to Woody, who was very helpful and seemed genuine. I’m always pretty skeptical about mechanics, but felt good about this place. He mentioned they were busy and might not be able to get to my car today, but somehow snuck me in and finished my car in a couple hours. I appreciated that he didn’t give me the run around and didn’t try to up sell any other maintenance. He was straight to the point, knowledgable, honest and helpful — just what I need in a mechanic. I will definitely go back and recommend Woody’s to my friends.

Took my brother’s car in this morning. They were able to diagnose the problem, but unfortunately not able to do the repairs. Which is ok, I really just wanted to know what was wrong with the car. When I picked the car up I asked how much I owed and to my surprise, he said, «no charge». They could have easily charged me $ 70 to diagnose the problems the car was having, but they didn’t. I was very skeptical about taking my car in to any auto mechanic, but Woodys has restored my faith. I will definitely go back to Woody’s Auto Care for all of my car care needs, not because they didn’t charge me but because they have gained my trust. Matter of fact I scheduled an appointment for this Friday. Thanks again Chris.

AMAZING SERVICE!!! My car was stalling on me and they were able to diagnose the problem, replace the part and have my car better than new all in the same day! Customer service was super awesome and they worked everything out with my warranty company so I didn’t even have to pay anything out of pocket. Love them!

This is the only shop that touches my truck. These guys are very honest, and that goes a long way with me. About 3 years ago I brought my truck in for some work, and asked them to also plug the nail that was in one of my tires. When I picked it up I asked why I wasn’t being charged for the plug. Woody said the nail didn’t go through, so didn’t need it. Now a lot of other places would have done it anyway to make a little extra cash. So that has always stuck with me. Ever since they have been very accommodating, and I always appreciate it. Everyone I know uses this place, and you should too.

I just took my car into woody’s because I was having problems with It dyeing at stops. They took it for a run & of course it didn’t happen. Instead of playing around with it not knowing why it was stalling Woody’s advice was to take it home & C if
It continues. There was no charge & no wasting my time. If it continues I’ll bring it back & then maybe they’ll no the problem & charge me then. That’s HONEST !!
You just don’t find that anymore.!!

I highly recommend Woody’s Auto Care. Woody and his staff are friendly and get the job done in a timely manner. We’ve taken our cars here for oil changes and a timing belt change and have always had a wonderful customer experience. Great business, great people, highly recommended!

I appreciate the honest down to earth work ethic, kindness and honesty provided by Woody and his staff. It’s definitely worth the drive to know that my car is in good hands and I won’t be gouged on price. I highly recommend Woody’s Auto Care for car repairs.
