I'm not from here and this is the first time I've been to Woodard Automotive. If you are from this area or from out of town I would recommend this Auto repair shop. I met Lori and dealt with her. I found her to be very understanding. Trust me, I was in a bad spot. I was worried the repairs would be more than the value of my vehicle. I no longer have that problem and now have new front rotors and front brake pads. I don't believe I would have gotten any better and possibly not as good a price and service from my hometown of 30+ years. Thank you Woodard Automotive. You got an old stranger out of

They are very friendly folks, and were able to squeeze us in at the last minute. They gave us a fair and honest assessment and price for our issue. And the cute dog in the office was a bonus!

I'm going to leave out all the lengthy details. Don't go anywhere else with your vehicle. Andy & Lori who own this incredible company offer professionalism, honesty, value (1/2 price of a local FORD dealership), warranties, friendliness, expertise, timely work, thankfulness and much more. They do business the old fashion way. They treat each individual as if it was their only customer. WOW. Tomorrow is election day, I vote for WOODARD. Zero risk. A sure bet. No nightmares. No surprises. No guesswork. No worries.

A vehicle emergency is always stressful and even scary. In the middle of my work week my transmission simply stopped. I found Woodard, and Lori was a dream. Great customer service. Above and beyond really.

I think our family may have found a mechanic we can trust. Believe it or not, we were referred to them from another mechanic and it was a total blessing. Having 3 young adults driving used cars can be costly, plus, being a ‘single mom’ I feel like I get taken advantage of sometimes. Not here!! Woodard explains every detail to you and does not try to upsell you on things just because. Knowing that I can trust my kids cars to them, means a lot to me. I would recommend them to all my friends and family.

Too bad I can only give five 5 stars!

Andy agreed to do a pre-purchase car inspection for me, with 30 minutes' notice! Really thorough and experienced. Best money ever spent! Lori in the office could not have been nicer or more hospitable!

I just moved up here to Nova and I was going back and forth with shops. Trying to find one with honest mechanics who were very knowledgeable.
I called Woodard Automotive, just speaking with Andy I knew that I could trust his word and he knew what he was doing. If you're looking for work to be done on your vehicle, I'd highly suggest these guys!
His wife even shuttled me down to get a car rental which was a huge help! They both know a lot and are looking out for their customers. With a 10% discount for military and great prices, it's hard to beat them.
They even helped me out with

Usually don't post yelp reviews, but this is a company that deserves one. Hands down best auto shop customer service. This is the second time I've gone to them and both times were a good experience. They were able to fit me in with my tight schedule and made sure they had it done quick both times. Their prices are best around. I will be returning if my cars need any other care. Highly recommended!

Been here twice already for inspection and second time for wheel alignment and oil change. This place is like a diamond in a ruff. Staff is honest, polite and professional and the front desk lady think her name is Lorie is super nice. If you come on a slow day service is quick and you are out the door in no time. I will continue to come back for any other services needed on my car.

Very helpful, professional, fair, and competent. Here's my story...

I was visiting my daughter in Louisa VA to help her buy a used car. Since the Fredericksburg/Stafford area has many more car-buying options than Louisa, we concentrated our search there. I needed a mechanic to check out the cars we were considering, and quickly too, since I only had three days to complete this task. I choose Woodard based on limited but very positive Yelp reviews.

We spent Wednesday looking at cars and narrowed down a few choices. I called Woodard Thursday morning and they agreed they would perform a pre

I took my car to Woodard's a couple weeks ago to get it inspected, and I called around noon to see if they could do it if I brought my car in at 4, which is the earliest I could get my car there (they typically stop doing inspections at 4). They said it shouldn't be a problem, and I was in and out within 10 minutes. I've never had a problem taking my car to Woodard's, and they are always very nice. I would recommend it to anyone!

Woodard takes the best care of my car! They are friendly, their prices were the same when I took my old beater car in as they are in my new pretty car. I don't feel that because i'm a female they take advantage of me or "find problems" that don't exist. They do exactly what I ask them to do every single time with a smile. They are exceptional. Highly Recommended. 5 years later, I have no desire to take my car anywhere else.
