That watery stuff leaking is not transfluid. left a bunch of stuff unplugged If I go back, I will get in trouble or worse. Was told by neighborhood Whites that Black people in Dayton know not to go there, Dummy. Trolls under the bridge. Should not have taken my dad's old truck there. Zero trust. If you couldn't fix it, you didn't have to rob me. For what I paid, I could have just bought a rebuilt. Jesus will make it right. Done.

I needed a new muffler and pipe from the converter to the muffler on a PT Cruiser. I was charged just over $400.00! Let me repeat.. 1 muffler and 1 piece of pipe approx 2 ft. long. $400.00! I asked for an explanation and was told to take it up with the boss, who wasn't there. I'll not be a repeat customer again. Too bad.

I called and asked to talk to the mechanic, and the receptionist put me through to Mike himself. I didn't even have to wait. Mike made recommendations that made him no money but I was reassured that I could wait to see my mechanic when I got home. I was very very grateful.

I made an appointment for Mike's Tuesday morning for Thursday at 8 am for a tire balance. This was…read moreoff a recommendation of a family member. When I pulled up I had a hard time finding anywhere to park because the lot was so crowded, but it was no big deal at first. I went in and told a man about the appointment I had made (2 days in advance mind you) and he told me with an attitude that it would be at least a few hours because they had no room in the garage. I said okay, thinking I really didn't have time because of work but whatever (hence making an appointment). Now I usually am pretty understanding but this is where it got ridiculous. The woman behind me in line (she also parked directly behind my car so I know I was there first) went to the desk and said she needed an oil change and something else done, no appointment. They took her keys no issue and one of the mechanics drove her car around. I was dumbfounded. Now maybe she was dropping the car off, but it didn't seem like it. It all felt incredibly wrong to me that she was taken care of no issue and I was met with a stupid look for questioning why I couldn't get in at my scheduled time. Beyond all of that, it took me about 10 minutes to leave because of cars parked behind me and having to slowly maneuver around a disorganized mess of cars. If you want friendly, organized service that sticks to their word, I would go somewhere else.

No leak before and leak after says hmm someone fucked up. But took it back in so they could tell me coolant elbows were replaced and flush done again. Got vehicle back and the leak was worse.

Woodman's looked at my car right away and diagnosed a bad thermostat. My car was topped off with anti-freeze and he assured me I could make it to Knoxville Tennessee and get the repairs later. He wouldn't even let me pay for the antifreeze! I made it back to Knoxville just fine. My regular mechanic in Knoxville ordered a part and it won't come for two weeks. He also told me I can carefully drive my car until it is repaired. Woodman's are quick and they know what they are talking about.

This company is a joke. Unless you have a piece of crap car that you don't care about, I would…read moreSTRONGLY stay clear of this place. The owner has zero responsibility for the work they do and always blame you or the car for their poor lack of care. I took my BMW M4 here for stripped lug nut, which they were able to remove. Then they proceed to over torque the lug nuts where they almost stripped and I barely got them off with a 5 foot breaker bar! I paid them to lower my car which was quoted at 3 hours. They call me to pick it up and it "took longer and charged me almost 2.5-3X more than originally quoted. Their employees don't test drive the car after servicing to make sure what they did was done correctly. Instead they call me that my car is finished and as soon as I drove off to go home, the rear of my car made super loud noises going over bumps. I immediately turned around and they looked at it, and I believe said they forgot to bolt something back. Really professional... then my alignment was off, and I had to bring it back again... they "fixed it" with of course, no paperwork for the alignment to show the before and after spec sheet, and was still bad.. I waited a week if I could just live with it and it bothered me still, especially for this vehicle, it's not a junker. I made an appointment to come back for the 3rd time and they had my appointment time wrong which I was understanding and was going to come back, until the owner comes in and asks me what's wrong "again" and said "I'm pretty tired of working on your car". Is this someone you want to bring your vehicle you work hard for and pay a lot of money for a shop to work on? I told him to refund my alignment and that they over torqued all my wheels after mentioning this issue the 2nd time, but clearly nobody cares here. He got up and walked out and I had to get my refund from the front desk for alignment. I own a business myself, and would never treat my customers this way, nor blame them for something I did wrong and not fix my mistake. Poor business customer service and service in general. Steer clear of this place for your own good.
