Auto Repair Reviews, Columbia MO (1)

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.

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!

Jeremiah S.

Auto Repair Reviews, Columbia MO (45)

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.

Joshua N.

Auto Repair Reviews, Columbia MO (52)

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.

Auto Repair Reviews, Columbia MO (53)

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.

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.

Auto Repair Reviews, Columbia MO (58)

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.

Auto Repair Reviews, Columbia MO (59)

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.

Auto Repair Reviews, Columbia MO (60)

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 ...

    • Auto Repair Reviews, Columbia MO (61)

      Vehicle Tips

      According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect.

    • Auto Repair Reviews, Columbia MO (62)

      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.)

    • Auto Repair Reviews, Columbia MO (63)

      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.

    • Auto Repair Reviews, Columbia MO (64)

      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.

    • Auto Repair Reviews, Columbia MO (65)

      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.

    • Auto Repair Reviews, Columbia MO (66)

      Vehicle Tips

      A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.

    • Auto Repair Reviews, Columbia MO (67)

      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.

    • Auto Repair Reviews, Columbia MO (68)

      Vehicle Tips

      Check your owner's manual to find out what fuel octane rating your car's engine needs then buy it.

    • Auto Repair Reviews, Columbia MO (69)

      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.

    • Auto Repair Reviews, Columbia MO (70)

      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.

    • Auto Repair Reviews, Columbia MO (71)

      Vehicle Tips

      Use the A/C sparingly. The air conditioner puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used.

    • Auto Repair Reviews, Columbia MO (72)

      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.

    • Auto Repair Reviews, Columbia MO (73)

      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.

    • Auto Repair Reviews, Columbia MO (74)

      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.

    • Auto Repair Reviews, Columbia MO (75)

      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.

    • Auto Repair Reviews, Columbia MO (76)

      Vehicle Tips

      Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent.

    • Auto Repair Reviews, Columbia MO (77)

      Vehicle Tips

      Inspect the engine's belts regularly. Look for cracks or missing sections or segments. Worn belts will affect the engine performance.

    • Auto Repair Reviews, Columbia MO (78)

      Vehicle Tips

      Have the fuel filter changed every 10,000 miles to prevent rust, dirt and other impurities from entering the fuel system.

    • Auto Repair Reviews, Columbia MO (79)

      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.

    • Auto Repair Reviews, Columbia MO (80)

      Vehicle Tips

      Inspect the suspension system regularly. This will extend the life of the vehicle's tires.
