Wicke Auto Service & Body Co

I’ve been taking my car here for two years, and when my brother lived here, these guys helped us out of a number of tight spots. Their work has always been honest, and twice they’ve recommended I try simpler (and cheaper) solutions when I was ready to pay out the nose to get my poor truck in ship-​shape. They are well organized, friendly, and fair, and I trust all the advice they have given me. Highly recommend, will return. (Also, as at least one other reviewer has noted, they are convenient to several bus lines, if you need to get somewhere else for the day, and within reasonable walking distance of some nice places to chill in CWE.) (P.S. It’s worth noting that the guy leaving a one-​star review has ONLY left one-​star reviews. So.)

Love Wicke! Very professional group of guys. They’ve been taking great car of my car and my boyfriend’s car. They’re honest and always explain everything to me. They’re very fairly priced, and I’ve never felt like they’ve overcharged me. The shop itself is very clean, and all the employees are very friendly. I highly recommend taking your car to this shop.

The best auto repair shop in the St. Louis area! Our family has been using this shop for years and drive almost 20 minutes to get to this shop because we are ALWAYS pleased with their work. Gary and Joe (and the entire team) bring many years of experience. They are knowledgeable and honest. They will give you an estimate prior to any work be done on your vehicle. They also do not sell you unnecessary services like many chains and/​or dealerships will attempt to sell you. I highly recommend this shop!

Shade Tree Mechanics. they just work in a business now! Rip-​Off scam artist please don’t let the good reviews fool u I Did!

They were amazing. Bumped a pole driving a friends car, went in to get it fixed, hoping it wouldn’t be too bad. I got in 5 min before close, they were super friendly despite me going in super late. Taking a look at my friend’s car, the guy took some sort of solution wiped it down, and said it wouldn’t take too much to just touch it up and fix it. Cost me under $ 70 and was finished in less than a day. They could have easily made something up to up charge me, but they were fair and honest. Will definitely go back with any issue with my car.

I LOVE this place!
Wicke is one of the cleanest, most well organized and ran auto repair/​body shops I have ever seen. The people are friendly and accommodating and their business ethics are as honest as it gets. They are truly a gem! While they are conveniently located in my neighborhood (Central West End), candidly, if I ever move elsewhere in St. Louis, I’m still bringing my cars to Wicke — their excellent service and experience combined with their trusted recommendations and fair pricing would be well worth the drive. I am a completely loyal customer and fan!

I came here for an estimate for a fender bender, and did not experience the great customer service everyone is raving about. In fact, the guy I spoke with seemed cold and unwelcoming. They quoted me $ 1,168 for the job, which seemed crazy. I came back to NYC and got it done from a local shop for $ 700. So glad I did not get it done by Wicke.

I love them here. They have done a great job every time I’ve brought my car in, always explain what’s going on WITHOUT making me feel like an idiot, and are super fair when it comes to charging you for your service. Seriously. Last time I took my car in they found a way to charge me LESS than what I had originally been quoted. We take all our cars here and have never had a bad experience. If you want great customer service, great quality of work, and an overall great experience, go here!!!

These guys are amazing. I had body work done there about 3 months ago and it was the best I have seen. I then needed some work on my heater & when I spoke to them they said it really needs to go to a dealer as they didn’t have the calibrator needed… Now that’s an honest business!!! I went back for another issue, which a very small and not only did they complete it quickly, they said «No Charge». Seriously, I LOVE these guys. I recommend WICKE to everyone. Honest people, good service and excellent customer service. I won’t take my car anywhere else and hope my friends do the same.

We got both our cars fixed here this week and they did a great job. At least, I’m assuming they did because I know nothing about cars :) But they’re professional and friendly and appear to be fair. They also do a great job of explaining what’s wrong and the best ways to fix it. Sometimes it feels like it’s hard to find an honest repair shop, but I think we finally did!

I brought my car here couple of wks ago as the engine light had started blinking. Spoke to Gary who was very friendly. They gave me a quick appointment and were thorough in explaining what was wrong with my car. They fixed the car in 2 days as they had promised! I totally recommend this place.

I took my car in there in August and to this day the work is not fully completed on it. First of all, they told me they would only have it for a week, but they kept it for 2. Secondly, I had to keep calling them to see if my car was going to be ready or not. They had really poor communication. I am not sure I would have heard anything if I did not call them everyday. When I got my car back (after 2 weeks) one of the scratches that I had originally taken my car in for was not even repaired so I had to take it back. I also noticed a few other imperfections (there was some bubbling in the paint). I made a list for the guy of everything that needed to be repaired. 2 days later when I got it back, he still had not fixed the bubbling in the paint and told me if I brought it back the next day, he would have it fixed during my lunch break. I called the next day to see if I could still bring it in. He told me he was too busy and asked me to bring it in on a Monday or Tuesday. I called the following Monday and was again told that they were too busy and to call back. I called a few weeks later and he said I waited too long to call and that he could not get it in. I asked him when and he asked me to bring it in on my next day off (which was yesterday). I called again and did not even get an answer. Needless to say it has been 2 months since I first took my car there and it is still not completely fixed. I will say the work that they did (even though it took forever) was decent, but if you cannot finish what you have started it is worthless.

Wonderful experience! After a terrible auto repair experience, I came to these guys and they restored my faith in auto shops. I am woman in my early 20s so I’m a good person to take advantage of since I don’t know much about cars. I got an inspection, oil change, and flat repair from them. For the inspection rather than charging me a few hundred for a part replacement, they suggested I go to a specialty place to get the specific piece repaired. It saved me hundreds and I was so grateful. Really really great place with honest men!

When I took my car to Wicke this past winter, they got my car working again but I was disappointed with the customer experience. They had my car for two weeks in order to replace a common part, and they charged me more than I had been quoted. I’m glad to see that it seems like I’m one of just a few who had a poor experience there but I don’t plan to return.

I have used Wicke many times for my car, and the staff always so nice and honest. Not like most car places who give me a laundry list of things and try to up sell me the whole time. Being a girl whose dad always took care of her car problems, dealing with car repair shops was always overwhelming but the guys at Wicke explain everything in detail and give me the option of what I want to do. I highly recommend them to anyone want who wants a honest and hassle free car repair experience.

I can confirm what everyone else has said — these guys are the best! They are reliable, talented and above all, honest. They have helped me keep old junker cars safe and inexpensively on the road, doing only what needs to be done. They have also taken care of my «better» car with the same eye to economy. I trust them completely and recommend them to everyone looking for a place to take their car.

Thank you Wicke Auto! I needed by front bumper repainted, and the guys at Wicke helped me find the cheapest option, as my car is 11 years old and I didn’t want to spend a fortune. They were open and honest with me about the costs involved and told me it would be cheaper for me to order a new bumper. I was able to get my car back same day, and they did a fantastic job. I would recommend Wicke for any auto service.

Wicke is AMAZING. The guys there are always super nice and courteous. They’re prompt with their service, and always keep me informed about what’s going on with my car, how long it will take to order a part, what my options are for repairing it… I know I can trust them to do a great job, at a fair price. I’ve taken my car there several times, and won’t go anywhere else. They were recommended to me, and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone.

Wicke Auto Service probably has the nicest employees of any auto place I’ve ever taken my car to. Usually when I go to such places, I feel like an idiot because I literally do not know ANYTHING about cars but these guys were super patient and extremely nice. I took my car here recently to get the bumper replaced and the prices were extremely reasonable. I highly recommend them for any auto body needs. GREAT PLACE!

Extremely reasonable. Everyone there was extremely nice and accommodating and they did a great job on my car.
