I would stay very far away from this business. After having dealt with them on a repair job, not only did they miss the cost estimate by 30%, they also didn’t deliver the work in the 3-4 days they represented, but took 6 business days.
Their excuse was to blame the manufacturer, which is a convenient out for any such business. However, if they are doing their job properly, they probably wouldn’t have mispriced the materials so poorly. My guess is someone pulled the wrong information.
Of course, they told us of this the afternoon before it was to come in, with that appointment having been made almost TWO MONTHS earlier. They weren’t aware until then? Also, the $300 additional verbally communicated at that time, turned into $500 more upon delivery of the car.
No one should expect an estimate to be exact, but it’s clear this place is either incompetent at estimating the work, incompetent at doing it, or perhaps it’s just their way of doing business, or a combo of the three.
One should be able to expect the verbal “add on” is accurate.
Let me add, this was not an extremely complex repair. It involved replacing the fiberglass front end of the car and painting it. If they can’t get something like this job close on the estimate, I’d hate to see how it turns out on something complex.
I will never use or recommend this business in the future.

I've been a customer of Woodings Auto Body for over 20 years and I couldn't ask for a more respectful place to get my vehicles fixed over the years. Norwood, Shannon and the rest of the staff treat me like I'm part of there family. Woodings has always made certain the body work, paint jobs and alignment of parts was correct as if it was Norwoods personal car. Thank you for everything

My Cadillac Escalade was rear ended and I have a special color that is hard to match. I was afraid the persons insurance would give me the run around as far as them choosing a sorry body shop and it wouldn't get fixed or paint matched correctly. Wooding's Auto Body was on there list and they got my baby looking fantastic. Thank you very much Shannon, Martha and team.

Wooding's has always delivered dependable service with courteous staff.
The only possible fault I could see mentioning is they are almost always booked, but that is simply an indication of how in-demand their services are.
I've been going to them for many years and highly recommend them. I don't see myself ever using any other auto-body shop.

Being in an automobile accident can be one of the most traumatic events of a person's life. Unfortunately, my wife and son experienced such an incident.
We were recommended, by friends, to visit Woodings Auto Body Works to repair our 2017 Ford Edge Sport. We scheduled an appointment for an estimate with Martha to assess the cost to repair our vehicle.
Martha advised us that the estimate given may change due to hidden damage that might not be visible until teardown. She then scheduled us for repair to ensure parts were there and we would have a faster repair time.
When we dropped the vehicle for repairs, Shannon met with us and advised their goal was 5 days to repair but it could possibly take 1-2 days longer if hidden damage through them a curveball.
Low and behold, the estimate that Martha wrote was apparently spot on and Dillon called us 4 days later to let us know our car was finished and cleaned up ready for pickup.
Not only did Woodings meet our expectations, they beat their estimated time to deliver car back to us. On top of all of that, our car was returned to us and looked like it was never in an accident.
I highly recommend Woodings Auto Body for any collision repair you may need. I truly felt like they cared and it was a family friendly environment. 5 stars
