I had it towed to Nico at Woody's and he was there late and let me leave my Sprinter for repairs which included a brake fluid change.

I don't leave reviews very often. However I felt compelled to do so with Woody's Automotive. I was…read moretraveling through Fortuna for work. When i broke down. I needed to get back on the road as quickly as possible. It's kinda a big ask to ask a garage to fit you in when they have scheduled clients. Nico and his team understood my situation and were nothing but helpful and encouraging. They got my vehicle repaired and back on the road within 24 hours. I can't say enough about their professionalism and response. I'm am grateful I found them. I would recommend them to anyone in the area. They specialize in Foreign autos. Definitely go to them if you want great work and a great experience.

One needed a lot of work to get road safe. It wasnt easy, as they were having to fix bad work done by other fortunua mechanic and a bit of front end damage to my blazer after a spin out that hit the hillside at 55 mph (damn hwy 36). One mechanic (JC Auto) took 2 1/2 months and $3000 to do an "improper installation of a new intake mainfold" per the dodge dealer. And another expensive fortuna mechanic (Rocha's) didnt know how to fix the a/c system on my ford ranger but billed $1800 to try (they forgot to put refrigerant in). Calvin fixed it in half a day for under $500. In my 8 years of experience with local shops, out of 7 of them only 2 really shine - Busted Knuckle and Mike's Brake Service. The others are over priced and will kill you with diagnostic fees.

If you know then you know & if you don't it's because you went by this place, saw it & chose not to…read morestop in. BIG... HUGE mistake. The garage mechanic garage chaos setting you saw & kept driving past holds a crew of "keep it real, no BS, here is what you need done to your automobile" real American blue collar thinking/working mechanics. No matching uniforms or choir boys present. Just a crew of rough looking grease monkey DUDES. The way a true American grit garage should have & be. The head boss "Sam" & his crew aren't going to win a popularity contest but they will give you all their effort & skills to figure out what's wrong with your automobile & fix it as fastly & cost friendly as they possibly can do so. I needed my AC fixed, to get on a long road trip back to the Midwest and they got it looked at, parts ordered, fixed, still found another issue after, then another part was ordered and then finally fixed within 3 days. It was the initial part arrival that used most of that time. It's wasn't the crew's fault. Once fixed and working, it's in excellent fashion and I was able to be on my way. That AC came in handy around Sacramento & through Nevada and I'm not even half home yet. I'm a retired Federal Law Enforcement officer & Army Combat veteran so I don't appreciate things "sugar coated" to spare my feelings. Sam keeps it real letting you know what the issue is, the part(s) you're going to need new & what the service is going to cost you. He doesn't try to claim their the best option but he doesn't make you think & feel that they are going to give you an honest effort to the best of their abilities to get your issues resolved. Next time you have an issue with your automobile just stop in & talk to Sam and his crew. They'll hear you out, take a good invested look into what your automotive issue is and then give you the option to set up for him and his men to fix it or your free to try somewhere else. There is no ego or guilt trip thrown if you choose the later. Please keep in mind that these are the dying blue collar breed this country has lost in the mechanic repair field. They own what they are and what they do. "We ain't pretty but we do get err done" I highly recommend giving them a chance.

I would put zero but that's not an option the owner is super unorganized and messy and he is rude.read more

Mike's Brake & Front End Repair in Fortuna is one of the best repair shops I have been to in a very…read morelong time. Mike has been incredibly helpful and accommodating, especially understanding my financial limitations and working with me every step of the way. He has gone far above and beyond what anyone would normally expect from a mechanic. After I was involved in a multi-vehicle accident, I had no one else to call because I haven't lived in this area very long. Mike came to the accident scene, made sure my vehicle was safe to drive, and even replaced parts right there so I could get back on the road. He then cleared his schedule to make sure my vehicle was repaired properly as quickly as possible. The accident was extremely traumatic for me, and I needed more than just help with my vehicle--I needed support. Mike and every one of his employees treated me with genuine kindness, compassion, and respect. Even though they had only worked on my vehicle once before, they made me feel like family. These are stand-up men who take pride in doing the job right. They stand behind their work, they're accountable for their repairs, and they truly care about their customers. In a world where it often feels like people are only looking out for themselves, Mike and his team are a rare exception. Their integrity, character, and kindness are second to none. I would recommend Mike's Brake & Front End Repair to anyone, any day of the week. If you're looking for honest mechanics who genuinely care about people as much as they care about fixing vehicles, this is the place to go.
