Engine repair service near Columbia, SC

I just had Justin Johnson with wrench inc out here and he was able to solve a problem 2others gave up on. He was very nice and professional. He never gave up and did an excellent job. I was really happy with the overall experience will definitely be using them to service all my work trucks. Scott Fowler

I have a 2003 Honda Accord Coupe EX V6 with more than 200,000 miles on it. There is absolutely no way I would have held onto my car this long and kept it in such good shape without Barnhill Automotive. Tommy and Ryan are extremely knowledgable and very experienced with all the Honda models, and they're ethical people whom I completely trust. They respect my limited budget and always advise me to plan for my repair/maintenance wisely. I know my money is better spent with Barnhill Automotive than it is with the Honda dealers.

German Autowerks is the best. They don't try and get over on you by telling you something other than what is wrong with your vehicle. Their hourly rate for labor is unbeatable, not to mention, they have free diagnostics. They are very friendly, honest and fast at repairing vehicle. I wouldn't think of taking my vehicle anywhere else now that I have found them. -Tamika

Runs great now! Thanks Joey!

The team is great, very friendly. A standard oil change is very competitive priced. $368 to change a fuel filter and water separation filter is over the top. Dr. Filter has those two, as a pair, listed at $79, then tac on labor, doesn't seem to be $368. When an oil change is $150 ish. That pricing is a bit opportunistic. Their electronic work order process approval is great.

!!!HE WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE BUT STILL CHARGE AS IF HE DID!!! I RECENTLY HAD A ISSUE WITH MY AUDI OVERHEATING AND I CALLED THIS MECHANIC SINCE HE HAD GOOD REVIEWS. SO AFTER SPEAKING WITH HIM HE SEEMED VERY NICE AND KNOWLEDGEABLE, SO I TRUSTED HIM AND LET HIM REPLACE THE SENSOR AND A DAY LATER HE CALLS ME AND QUOTES ME 300 DOLLARS AND CHANGE FOR THE WORK AND SENSOR AND I SPOKE WITH HIM A DAY LATER AND HE RECOMMENDED ME TO GET A OIL CHANGE WHICH I ALWAYS DO AT AUDI BUT I LET HIM DO IT HE DIDNT QUOTE ME A PRICE FOR THE OIL CHANGE BUT I FIGURED IT WOULD BE LESS THAN THE DEALERSHIP BUT NO HIS OIL CHANGE COST ME ALMOST 200 DOLLARS AND HE DID NOTHING SPECIAL. UNLESS YOU LIKE THROWING MONEY AWAY ON SOMEONE WHO WILL OVERCHARGE YOU TO *NOT FIX* YOUR CAR I WOULDN’T RECOMMEND THIS MECHANIC. AND HE REQUEST YOU SIGN A PAPER AT THE BEGINNING SO IF HE WANTS TO ADD TO THE BILL HE CAN PUT AS MUCH AS HE WANTS!!!

The people in the service department just don't act like they care about your time. Everytime we have dropped off a vehicle for repair it is at least two days before we can get an answer on the problems. They have a very poor customer service. It seems to me that because the work being done is warranty work they just push you to the back of the line. It should never take that long to get any vehicle fixed. I don't know if they are under staffed in the service department, but the service at every other shop we've been to is 100% better. I would not take my vehicle here for any type of service ever again. They need to work on there customer service or hire someone who cares about the customer!!

I noticed Godfrey's had a "we do unholstery" sign outside. I decided to give them a try. All I needed was my head rest done in my car. I had designs done at an embroidery shop and needed them to sew the covers on for me. The work was VERY unprofessional. It threw up a red flag when the guy Andy who did them for me was a fast talker as well he said they will be done the next day. I have a 2010 Chrysler 300 the work he did takes away from my entire car. The only reason I haven't removed them yet is because I paid $85. The day I picked them up it was raining and I was tired from working. I didn't look at the full details until the next day. Very Disappointed, as well he didn't even give me a receipt. One design is up higher than the other one and the stitching doesn't match the original stitching. I explained to him I wanted the covers to look factory. I will NEVER go back to this place again. Not sure why they hired this guy for unholstery but he does NOT know what he is doing. There's no need to go back there's nothing he can do to correct it as well I don't have a receipt! That's Bad business. I will be going to the BBB as well.

My Daughter bought a Kia Rio from Stivers here in Columbia. And so far we have spent over $2000 on repairs and the dealership just left her hanging! I, for one will never refer them to anyone. You just can't get good service anymore. The ignition system is constantly messing up and there are no good mechanics in Florence that won't rob you blind. And the KIA Dealership there says they are booked up for 2 to 3 weeks. That's ridiculous. I have also heard other horror stories about that Stealership, and wanted to pass this info along. They don't stand behind what they sell. And they sell cars that are not going to last. And at almost new car prices.
