Here's what some of our satisfied customers have to say about Columbia Car Care and Fleet Specialties:
02/27/2024
Today my wife was on her way to pick up our son from school and unfortunately had a tire blowout. She pulled off the road, walked over to Columbia Car Care, the staff were so kind and respectful to her. They grabbed the aircompressor truck, changed her tire and had her back on the road in 15 minutes and they didn't charge her a dime. And she was on time for school pick up. As a husband I'm grateful for their kindness, as a consumer they've earned our future business. Thanks everyone!

Professional reasonable mechanics with care. I would like to thank them for getting me out of a tight spot when I broke down in the middle of the night my only ride to work and reasonable competitive rates I'm still pleased with their work and care of my situation. I hope next time it will be an appointment. They probably do too.

My mom brought her car here because an under panel was dragging. They fixed it while she waited on the same day for a nominal cost. Thank you!

If any of y'all are in search of a car mechanic, please consider giving your business to the folks over at Columbia Car Care. We had a dashboard light come on recently and were mentally bracing ourselves for the cost of getting whatever it was fixed as soon as possible. They ran all the tests and let us know everything was actually okay and we did not need to buy any new parts right now. They could have easily gone ahead charging us whatever for needless services but were extremely professional and honest. Also, their prices are great, we get our routine check ups (e.g., oil, air filter, tires) done here!

Firestone wouldn't give us the time of day. Walmart didn't have the bulb we needed. These folks not only answered the phone with a live voice but were friendly, got us right in, took care of us, continued to be friendly, and replaced the simple bulb in 15 minutes. I recommend them to any one. We were just passing thru town and they treated us RIGHT!!!

Yes, the parking lot is crowded, but go ahead and elbow your way in because I've never been happier with an auto repair place. Turnaround is extremely quick, everyone is friendly and polite, and they're been very practical about diagnosing issues & deciding on the best repair strategy. Pricing is fair and I've never once been surprised by the bill after getting a quote. I started coming here only because the location was convenient, but I've been so pleasantly surprised with the service that now they're the only ones I want making any repairs to my car.

The crew here is amazing! They fixed my car quickly and efficiently. Everyone was so nice and helpful! As a woman, I'm always nervous about the people at car places trying to take advantage of my car ignorance and charge me way more than necessary, but I'm not worried about that here. They're fair and honest and do a great job.

I originally found this shop after searching for someone to replace an inverter coolant pump on my Toyota Prius. They did a great job, completed the work quickly, and gave me a far better deal on the work than what I was quoted at the dealer. A couple months after that repair I was driving my husband's Prius when it started to make a banging noise. Not knowing what to do, I drove straight to their shop. They got the car in right away, and came out in a few minutes to let me know that one of the wheels had nearly come off the car. My husband had just had two tires replaced at a different shop. The guys at Columbia Car Care told me to phone the other shop - that they did not consider it would be safe for me to drive it there. The other shop did send a tow truck, and his car was fixed the next day. I am so grateful to Columbia Car Care for helping me that day, and then on top of that, they didn't even charge me to look at the car and let me know what was wrong. This is a great shop - the mechanics are honest, skilled and really care about people. Thank you so much for helping me that day!

I couldn't ask for a better friendly place to take my auto needs than Steve and Company! I know when my car goes in for scheduled maintenance or issues I will be treated right and fairly. Depending on the problem and how busy they are, Steve and Company usually have my issues resolved the same day, especially if I have an appointment. If there are issues, they will call me, explain the problem, what it will take to fix it, how long it will take to fix it and an estimate.

Employees are Awesome and so friendly. Service is amazing

We were on a family vacation just passing through Columbia when our motorhome broke down and we found ourselves stranded. Camping World recommended Columbia Car Care to us and after the exceptional service, quality repair, and amazing price I'm recommending them to you. My impressions after my dealing with them is they are professional, caring, capable, and fair. Thanks Donny!
Travis C.
Exceptional service. They just forgot to look at my air filter like they said they would. But I don't think that's a big deal. We're only human, mistakes will happen, but their service, speediness, willingness to discuss matters and not make you feel pressured into doing any extra work is by far the better experience here. They pretty much just tell you what's wrong, what needs to be fixed soon or pretty much that moment, but they 100% let you decide for yourself without that car salesman attitude or pressure you'd get buying a car. I love it here, will continue going here all the time! I strongly recommend these guys!
Justin G.
Honest and upfront. A rare quality in that industry.
Jared G.
I had two other estimates completed at different shops within Columbia. Columbia Car Care had best estimate and was negotiable. Work was excellent and service was great!
Cody O.
Great guys, honest and fair. Been going there for years and keep recommending them!
Sara L.
Was just traveling through stopped here to make sure everything was okay and they went above and beyond for me!!! Extremely kind and so helpful. Wish they were my regular mechanics!
Lacie C.
As a woman who knows very little about cars, finding Columbia Car Care was a major relief. The staff (especially Kayla, the receptionist) are kind and do an excellent job of helping you understand what's going on with your vehicle. I have never felt talked down to or schmoozed.
Emily F.
I keep going back because I trust they'll always do a great job and are honest. They don't try to sell you things you don't need!
Kathy T.
Donnie showed me personally exactly what was wrong with my car. Another place in town had warrantied me but claimed my faulty parts under warranty were not faulty...when I told Donnie that I could not afford their service but it broke my heart that the other people ripped me off, he not only refused to charge me to look at my vehicle...but he called the company that had ripped me off and told them what they were doing was awful ... First time in my life a mechanic ever helped me and didn't even take my money ...

Vehicle Tips
According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect.
Vehicle Tips
The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled about every 24 months. The level, condition, and concentration of coolant should be checked. (A 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water is usually recommended.)
Vehicle Tips
Never remove the radiator cap until the engine has thoroughly cooled. The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps and hoses should be checked by a pro.
Vehicle Tips
Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual, or more often (every 3,000 miles) if you make frequent short jaunts, extended trips with lots of luggage or tow a trailer.
Vehicle Tips
Replace other filters (air, fuel, PCV, etc.) as recommended, or more often in dusty conditions. Get engine drivability problems (hard stops, rough idling, stalling, diminished power, etc.) corrected at a good shop.
Vehicle Tips
A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.
Vehicle Tips
Have your tires rotated about every 5,000 miles. Check tire pressures once a month; let the tires cool down first. Don't forget your spare and be sure your jack is in good condition.
Vehicle Tips
Check your owner's manual to find out what fuel octane rating your car's engine needs then buy it.
Vehicle Tips
Keep your tires inflated to the proper levels. Under-inflated tires make it harder for your car to move down the road, which means your engine uses more fuel to maintain speed.
Vehicle Tips
Lighten the load. Heavier vehicles use more fuel, so clean out unnecessary weight in the passenger compartment or trunk before you hit the road.
Vehicle Tips
Use the A/C sparingly. The air conditioner puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used.
Vehicle Tips
Keep your windows closed. Wide-open windows, especially at highway speeds, increase aerodynamic drag and the result is up to a 10% decrease in fuel economy.
Vehicle Tips
Avoid long idling. If you anticipate being stopped for more than one minute, shut off the car. Contrary to popular belief, restarting the car uses less fuel than letting it idle.
Vehicle Tips
Stay within posted speed limits. The faster you drive, the more fuel you use. For example, driving at 65 miles per hour (mph) rather than 55 mph, increases fuel consumption by 20 percent.
Vehicle Tips
Use cruise control. Using cruise control on highway trips can help you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, reduce your fuel consumption.
Vehicle Tips
Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent.
Vehicle Tips
Inspect the engine's belts regularly. Look for cracks or missing sections or segments. Worn belts will affect the engine performance.
Vehicle Tips
Have the fuel filter changed every 10,000 miles to prevent rust, dirt and other impurities from entering the fuel system.
Vehicle Tips
Change the transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 to 18,000 miles. This will protect the precision-crafted components of the transmission/transaxle.
Vehicle Tips
Inspect the suspension system regularly. This will extend the life of the vehicle's tires.
