Have been doing business with them for many years. They are
always honest and highly professional. I would always take
their advice on any problem with my cars.

I have been a customer for 30 years. They are very
competent, ethical beyond description, reasonably priced,
and explain any repair or diagnosis thoroughly. They are
located near Vanderbilt and have a great reputation with
faculty,students and local office workers.
I don't use them for oil changes because they stay very
busy and its a hassell to schedule. But for preventive
maintenance and repairs, they can't be beat.
They work on cars manufactured in the US and Japan. It's a
small shop, so I'd recommend calling ahead for an
appointment.
I'd say the knowledge and experience is up there near the
Klick and Klack guys;however, the levity and politics will
fall on the other end of the spectrum.

The mechanics at Woods Garage are some of the most honest
men and women I know. I would trust them with any car I
have.

A small shop, but one can usually get in within a day or
two of calling ahead. Carl Wood has always given his
personal attention to the problem, and often calls to
report what needs to be done (or the mechanic on the car
will call).

This is like an old-timey garage with REAL people who like
to and know how to work on cars. They picked up the phone
right away and I got to talk to one of the mechanics who
correctly diagnosed my master cylinder problem right away
and said I could come over and get some brake fluid until
the could fix it. They fixed it a timely fashion and my old
Honda drives like a charm. I'd been driving around with a
leaky cylinder for years and my old garage never even told
me! I'm sticky with Carl Woods: fast, competent, and
reasonable!

Carl may sometimes be grumpy, but you couldn't ask for a
more competent and honest mechanic. And don't bother
taking a VW to him - he won't work on them. He chewed me
out for replacing my previous Nissan with a Jetta. I'm now
back to owning another Nissan. Carl was right, as usual.

I've had my car in this shop many times for maintenance (tune up, oil changes, new belts and hoses) and repairs (oxygen sensor, brake switch, loose spark plug wire, new water pump, etc.) Probably every mechanic who's worked in that shop for the last five years has done something to my car at some time, and everything has been done right the first time. If I have a complaint, it would be that they sometimes do things too well. When I asked them to replace my spark plug wires, I also got a complete tune-up and an $8 air filter, so the bill was a lot more expensive than I anticipated. The parts tend to be more expensive that what is available at the local auto parts store, but they're higher quality, sometimes higher than I think my 16-year- old car needs. However, even though I might be able to get things done more cheaply somewhere else, I stick with this garage because they tell me the truth, they fix the problem, and they don't try to extract money from me by giving me a list of other things they could do.
