Honest, thorough, genuine.....what more could you want?!? I came in for an evaluation of my vehicle to counter what was diagnosed by dealership sevice dept. I always, always, always prefer private mechanics. Find a good one and you're set. Choose Carson and his shop and you have just that. Very highly recommended!!! read more

I just so happen to be working up the street when I had noticed a puddle of coolant underneath my car. I was very concerned, so I stopped at the closest auto repair I could find. Woods auto repair was the one I stopped at! They seen that I was having an emergency and offered to help me asap! My upper radiator hose had busted. They were able to help me right away, and the price wasn't too bad either. My car ended up having worse issues that caused the radiator hose to bust. But I do appreciate the fact that they helped me the way they did. They replaced the hose and had me on my way. Also helped me understand the issues my car was having. They made it easier for me to let the dealership know exactly what was going on and what needed to be fixed. Thank God for warranties! Overall I was very satisfied with the services they offered. Customer service was also great. Will definitely be going back whenever I have any issues with my cars. read more

I really like the experience I get with Woods. Sometimes I have to wait a few days for an appointment but I feel like that is a good sign. I have gotten good advice from them about repairs and they are very reliable. The shop runs very efficiently and is a family-run. They are my go-to auto shop in town. read more

My 2003 Tacoma required its Smog Cert. I went to the experienced WOODS Auto Repair. Carson and Carson jr. know automobiles. They worked with me today to get my sensor monitors to register in the System so it would pass. It finally registered ALL the emission sensors after coming and going 4 times today. They were kind enough to test it each time. Not many busy Mechanics would bother. I might add it passed! Carson Jr. has a great sense of humor too! He reminds me of days when I ran a Shop as good as theirs. I highly recommend them. Jennifer at the Desk is on top of it all. Thank You! read more

Had my 2005 Honda Accord repaired. Front end new ball joints and axel. Price was fair and the service was excellent and done in quickly. I will use Woods again definitely. read more

My engine light went on after being on the road for several hours. I pulled in to Woods and they looked at it immediately. Gave me a couple quarts of oil and I was on my way. No BS. No trying to upsell me services. So grateful for them! read more

Amazing service! We needed our radiator replaced and they got it done next day! We were on vacation and called about 7 different auto shops to see if anyone was available to help us out since our check out time was 11 the next day, everyone else turned us down or didn't answer the phone. When we called Woods they let us know that they would do their best to help us out and to bring it in... not only did they fix the car, but they went above and beyond to get it done faster than expected! He explained what the problem was, showed us the damaged radiator and really took care of us in our "emergency" situation! read more

My family and I were visiting Joshua Tree NP when our check engine light came on. We were pretty concerned since we were hundreds of miles away from home and our trusted mechanic. We did a quick search for auto retail shops in the area and ended up at Woods Auto Repair and we are so glad we did! Staff were very friendly and they were able to check our car out right away and take care of our issue. The person that helped us seemed very honest and knowledgeable and we are so grateful! Definitely would recommend them to anyone in the area in need of car repair! read more

friendly as all get out, addressed my concerns immediately with no judgement. we were traveling and worried about getting stuck in the desert and he stopped what he was doing and helped us out right away. read more

I was able to get me smog check scheduled in a day, and the work was performed the following morning at the usual high standard known of Carson Woods. Glad I went to a locally owned and operated business. And I was back home in less than an hour. read more

This is an amazing auto repair shop who is thorough, prompt, and has exceptional pricing!!I highly recommend this business for all your auto repair needs!! read more

I took my Dodge diesel truck to Woods to check out the clutch peddle not quite connecting very easily to the electrical ignition switch. It also had the "check engine" light on. They hooked up the computer and told me what it said while also resetting the warning light. They don't work on Diesel engines, so told me they were done. We went to pick it up and pay for the service rendered and they said "No charge!" !!!! Now THAT is customer service and the best PR I could imagine! we very much appreciate their kind consideration and I do have regular cars that will be bringing to them down the road!! read more

Amazing customer service and quality repairs! If you are in the area I definitely recommend them! I got an oil change and had my car looked at after it broke down on my way to Arizona. They were able to fix everything in a timely manner and get me back on the road in no time! Their customer service went above and beyond my expectations! read more

We were several hundred miles from home, we had the check engine light come on in our rv... even though they were "booked for month" they helped us get back on the road.. Carson spent over two hours tracking down the problem ( ended up being a loose connection on wiring harness).. saved our vacation... Carson, his sister Ann and thier father are great people.. I cried when I paid the bill, they were very generous, they could have charged me much more.. people like this restores your faith.. yucca valley is lucky to have people like this in there community read more

Quite DISAPPOINTED. They came recommended..here's my complaint. I have a vintage Ford Van, in good shape that needs factory a/c fixed. So I drive in, get out and open the hood. A man comes out of the office...I say Good Afternoon, my name's Dave and reach out to shake his hand...He looks at me ..with a look that just tells (no thanks) makes no attempt & puts his hands in his pockets then sternly and unenthusiasticlly says "What do you want?" I say , there's a few things I'd like to do to this van , but 1st I'd like to rebuild the a/c setup so it works. He's says "We DONT work on these OLD Fords" He then immediately without asking about the other things I wanted done, turned around and walked into his office and shut the door behind him. Perhaps they were having a rough day, who knows but a 1st time customer viewing such a attitude I can do without. This is something I could do myself ,but thought I'd give Woods some new buissness. I'm in my 50s and gearhead and a veteran ..doesn't make me better but I know how to be a gentleman and start off a good working relationship. This was certainly NOT the way to do do. This is the 1st and only chance they will ever have to get my business..a man who does not reach out and shake a hand, and is rude, well...that kind of tells you all you need to know. I'm just a normal average guy with a normal average vehicle no reason to be treated as if I was a nuisance or irrelevant ItAnother shop or parts store will get my LOCAL hard earned dollar. read more

Always have had such Good Customer Service here. Honest, Trustworthy, and Sincere... A family owned business, With Carson Sr, Carson Jr, and the people that help them, like Rob, and the latest addition James. Nice people... I always recommend them first... They Care, and that's why I go there... Let's not forget Jennifer, who makes it all happen, She's the BEST... read more

This was a recommended place. But as much as I wanted them to be the guys, I was unfortunately disappointed. The work I had them look at was either rejected (even though they claim to be a Jasper dealer) and they couldn't come up with a permanent fix after a few attempts with air conditioner issues, and about $800.00. An other Garage, did find the underlying problem in one attempt for $193.00 including diagnoses, in less than a day, that permanently fixed the issues. I just don't have the time and money for none thorough work and experiments. The customer service person was on spot. The mechanics were mediocre at best, explaining the issues at hand. read more

I really respect the fact they don't try to UPsale and just treat the credit card. They have integrity in their work and the do the repairs needed while being proactive to prevent problems down the road. Highly recommend. read more

If I could give them more star's I would.They definitely deserve 100000000 stars... I am forever grateful to Woods family for there help on my 2018 Chevy Camaro. He made sure I Understood what was best for me I appreciate him for making sure I get rembusment from my dealer when I get back home. I will always come back for services when needed definitely trustworthy and friendly amazing family. I won't ever forget what he has done for me and my family. I recomend his shop, You wont regret it. Thank you woods family, from the Guzman fam read more

Best repair shop in Yucca Valley. Friendly and accommodating. Don't hesitate to use these guys !

If you want someone to TRY troubleshoot your vehicles problem, keep it for 3 days, NOT fix the problem, then go to Woods. Oh, I forgot, they also charged me $200.00 for their failed attempt. Go anywhere else but here. read more

My first time taking my car in for an oil change. They were very professional and didn't try to upsell me.

Really fantastic family business. Warm, friendly and efficient. Honest. I took my Ford truck there for a service. $93! Took about 1.5 hrs. Impressed. This review is from my friend who wanted me to post on her behalf. read more

Had my daughter's air conditioner and my car's air conditioner rebuilt here. They only gave a three month warranty. My daughter's a/c began making noise within the 3 month period and she took it in. They fixed it and in less than a year my daughter's a/c broke. Also in less than a year my a/c broke after having been rebuilt by Woods. I asked an auto a/c guy what would cause both of our a/cs to break in less than a year and he told me they must be using inferior parts. One can only speculate. But it is awfully weird that both a/cs needed to be completely rebuilt and they both didn't last a year. I had my a/c rebuilt again at a good a/c shop and it's lasted well over a year. The shop gave a year warranty. My experience at Wood's after being charged over$4000 for both a/cs to be fixed that didn't last a year made me never want to trust them again. It was an expensive lesson. What kind of shop only warranties their work for 3 months? That's one summer and you may not be able to tell it's failed again during cooler weather. read more

My nephew took his03 chevy 2500 in for check eng light ...evap...problem they charge him 300++ he didnt even get home before lights came back on...brought it to me ...i checked gas cap..."was orig cap".... you would think thats the 1st thing they would do....20$ fix ...they should be ashamed ....jus sayin read more

Smog your vehicle here! When I called to make an appointment it was easy to get a hold of someone. They got me in for a smog appointment pretty quickly, Like the next day. Our appointment for smog was on time and took just a little over a half hour. Which was the estimate that the woman in the office gave us. That location is nice because you can drop your car off and then walk to Frontier for a coffee and or snack and if you still have time check out the Antique shops. When we walked back to the shop after visiting old town our car was being pulled out of the garage and the technician told us that our vehicle is ready we walked into the office and our paperwork was ready to go just pay and sign. The price was one of the better prices in the basin. This is smog star Station transferred the data to the state immediately. I was able to go home and finish my registration online with the smog already uploaded from the shop.I will definitely be smoging my vehicles here from now on. read more

As I was coming up the hill to Yucca Valley my truck lost power and the alternator was dying. I limped it in to Woods Auto repair. Such good people! Even though they had a lot of cars fhey were working on, they installed a new alternator for me in less than a few hours. I thought my day was ruined but they saved the day! So grateful! I highly recommend them. Thanks Woods! Dave F. read more

Talk about honest mechanics shop! They were recommended and I am so glad I went there. Carson explained what the issues were and answered all of my questions in a respectful way. I'll never go anywhere else!! read more

Moved to Yucca Valley a little more than a year ago, and find myself riding on sand washboard roads often. As a result, a couple bolts that stabilizes my front splitter on my SUV stripped. Woods was able to come up with a solution where that may never happen again! A new part would've cost over $400, and Woods repaired it better than new for $60! I am very pleased with the work, the people that work there and the cleanliness of the business. I'm going back if I need service! Chef JP read more

Been here several times, highly recommended , All the guys that work here, are highly qualified,Always going above and beyond, no matter what the problem is, they have always corrected it. This is my go to mechanic of Yucca Valley and would not go elsewhere also very reasonable, thank you Carson and Junior, for always taking care of me , greatly appreciated! May 2021 read more

But as much as this place sucks i give u five stars for not touching my car cuz lying now who nos what u wouldve lied about my car. Some advice get new database cuz ur not finding people quite often. Happy holidays read more

I cannot say enough good things about Woods Auto. Whether you need a simple oil change, there are weird noises coming out of your car, or your A/C breaks in the middle of summer, Woods Auto can fix it and fix it properly. They are very professional, friendly, honest, and reasonably priced. I'm blessed to be from a small town where great service mixed with kindness still exists! Don't take your vehicle anywhere else! I refuse to take my car to the dealership again and from now on, no matter what vehicle I have, I will bring it to Woods Auto for regular service and any future needed repairs. 5+ Stars read more

I only picked Woods Auto because it's a few blocks away. I was warn not to go there. Unreliable and high priced. They charged us $1100.00 and my brakes aren't working properly, it still leaks gas and now it struggles to start. I called them and explained to the receptionist the problems. She gave me an appointment but it had to be after the holiday. I had no choice. So, I accepted. I get there on the 8th at 7am as instructed and the old man flipped through the paperwork and said, I wasn't in there. Lol The other guy took it for a drive and told me nothing was wrong with my car but I can make an appointment to check it out. Omg, unbelievable So, I have to psy again for them to check it. $1100.00 thrown out the window! read more

I have had a new fuel pump and new shocks installed on my motorhome at Woods Auto Repair and both jobs were preformed very professionally.

I was on the way home to Arizona from Big Bear CA and had an accessory drive belt come apart. They fixed it right away and had me on my way in less than an hour. Thanks! read more

I was visiting the area in Nov. 2018, when the clutch on my '97 Ford Ranger started giving up the ghost. By a stroke of good luck, the local Ford dealer referred me to Woods Auto Repair. Woods turned out to be great. They were able to order and install a new clutch quickly and send me on my way. The service was friendly. The price was reasonable. And 2,000 miles later, the new clutch is still working great! read more

I was recently on vacation and traveling through Yucca Valley. I heard a strange sound coming from the engine compartment. I stopped at Woods Auto Repair to see if they could help me. They were happy to help me. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. I was very pleased at the service that I received and I would highly recommend their services to anyone. read more

Family owned...very honest and wonderful (to deal with) mechanics and humans. Moved to the desert and had my a/c start blowing warm air - was told at American tire it's the compressor and over $500 just to order new a/c kit ? No thanks -felt a bit shady - Woods came highly recommended -luckily someone cancelled their appt so they were able to inspect my Jeep right away. They continued to repair it for under 100 in less than an hour. Woods knew right away that the Jeep A/C was already looked at - the compressor originally couldn't even get a read ?! It was a fuse and needed Freeon but seriously makes ya wonder about the intentions of other people. I also found full AC KIT on amazon for $170 not over $500? Trusting a mechanic is like trusting a dentist. I found my new garage and they are locals for almost 40 years - Jeep is blowing the cold air again and it feels awesome ! Thank you Carson and family read more

The service at Woods Auto Repair is fantastic. I take my vehicles to them for regular maintenance and have always been extremely happy with their work and they are very honest. Recently while on vacation I was having some issues with my car and had taken it to a dealership in Colorado Springs, Co. I didn't feel comfortable with what the dealership was telling me, so I called and spoke to Carson Woods Sr. Carson is familiar with my car. He was able to listen to what I had experienced and what I had been told at the dealership. He put my mind at ease. I told the dealership I wasn't willing to spend $2400.00 plus labor at this time. Thank you to everyone at Woods Auto Repair read more
