Wood-Oberholtzer came highly recommended from a friend who has been coming here for years and touted their trustworthiness and honesty. And, after years of taking my Cadi to the dealership, who rip you off, I decided to take a chance on a local mechanic.At first, I thought the gentleman who answered the phone was a little gruff and tried to make me feel like I didn't know what I was talking about because I was not a mechanic, but that is why I was calling, I can't repair my car myself.My husband dropped off the car for me while I was away for work. Within hours, the car was fixed, and for hundreds of dollars less than we thought it would cost us.I am thankful for my friend's referral to Wood-Oberholtzer because they truly are honest, and we will be using them for our future vehicle repair needs.

Dropped off my Bronco with a problem I've been trying to fix myself for a year. Rick got it diagnosed and fixed in a day. It runs like a champ now! Fair pricing too! Thank you!

This was my first experience with Wood-Oberholtzer. I had read all the reviews and the shop is right down the street from me so I figured I'd give them a try considering the fact a lot of their reviews mentioned great customer service and fair pricing. These tailored my expectations for this autoshop.I had an appointment for an oil change this morning and arrived a couple minutes past opening (I was told to come in at 8-8:30 window, I arrived around 8:05). There are already a couple cars that are getting pulled in to be worked on, and there only appeared to be one mechanic on the job (whom never introduced himself but I'm assuming is one of the owners).I checked in and hadn't been given a quote time or quoted price for the oil change. I had appointments scheduled throughout my morning and was not prepared to be told it would take over two hours (again, only finding this out after asking). I understand the limits of small staff, but it is only right and fair to inform customers about this stuff; pricing and time estimate. This leads me to the second portion, pricing. As I mentioned I believed this place would give me a fair price for a normal oil change. This means around $40, which is what I would normally pay at Walmart. Well I was quoted for $60-$80. A range? Why? Especially since I hadn't requested any special oil and wasnt informed otherwise, this leads me to believe I was not quoted fairly and was instead preyed on for my assumed ignorance. Until I am given another explanation, I'm definitely not going to trust this place or come here.Perhaps these guys are good for you, and for that, good for you indeed. I guess I am not one of you.The only reason I feel inclined to give them two stars is because I had asked the person about a noise my car has been making when I turn on the AC. He took the time to come out and try to diagnose it, but unfortunately due to Murphy's Law, my car did not make the noise. Nonetheless he gave a possible explanation for what could be causing it, and I greatly appreciate his opinion and it did seem honest and straightforward.Overall, maybe come here if you have a good referral and they will treat you better. But I don't doubt the people (or at least the person I met) here know their stuff, I just wish they wouldn't play so hard-to-get about it.

Rick was wonderful to work with. Fair, competitive prices. When he could have easily taken advantage and charged me for extra work, he let me know that the initial diagnosis was not what he thought it was, and charged me less. And he called the next day to see how I liked the results! He's a keeper and I've already referred him to others.Service: Steering & suspension replacement

The owner, Rick Wood, knows more about all aspects of any kind of vehicle than anyone else on the planet. Truly! Rick has been repairing all of my vehicles since 1990. His ability to diagnose any vehicle problem uncanny. Every repair he's done for me has been perfect. His prices are always very reasonable. His hourly rate is half the rate of the dealerships!!! Wood Oberholtzer is the ONLY place your vehicle to. Rick also carefully explains his diagnosis and the repair. Finally, he's very congenial and a pleasure to talk to. Read all his reviews.

Rick is the best, we have taken all our cars to him for the last 10 years. Whether they were domestic or imports, he's always been able to take care of them. He's honest, cool and tells us what the cars need or don't need. He was recommended to us by a friend and we recommend him to all our friends. The shop is a small family run business, they are always busy but that's just another testament of how good he is.

These guys are awesome. The shop itself looks a little sketchy (to be honest I never would have considered going there if they hadn't been recommended) but Rick is straight up, honest, and fair. He won't try and push unnecessary work on you and has completely earned my trust. I wouldn't necessarily say that it's the rock bottom cheapest place there is but considering he does the work right the first time you save BOATLOADS of money in the long run. My only qualm is that they're not open late or early or on the weekends so it might be tough to accommodate a work schedule but otherwise they're absolutely top notch.

Driving from CA to TX, my alternator went out right at Tucson. Stopped at the Quality Inn, and found Rick just 2 blocks away. Truly a blessing - he took good care of me and got me back on the road quickly and safely. Definitely a trustworthy guy.

I've gone to Rick for nearly 20 years. He's honest, reliable and reasonable. Everybody I've referred to him have thanked me for the referral. He'll tell you what needs to be fixed, and tell you what you should wait on. Thanks Rick.

Rick's shop is the only one that I take our cars, and our daughter's cars to. New cars, old cars, in-between. You can count on an honest appraisal and very reasonable prices. I trust them completely.

Rick went the extra mile to make sure everything was repaired correctly after my engine burnt up on the way down to Tucson. He talked to me in a way that was clear and friendly, and even offered to check my fluids for me before trips! I would go back here for sure.

Little hole in the wall looking shop that I wouldn't have even considered if it hadn't been recommended to me but these guys are great. Rick is straight up and completely fair. I trust his opinion implicitly.

I started taking my vehicle to Wood-Oberholtzer years ago when I lived in their neighborhood. In the time since, they've seen me through repairs and maintenance, large and small. I no longer live near their shop, but I still take my car Wood-Oberholtzer for the outstanding quality of their work and honest prices. Highly recommended.
