If you're looking for honesty, integrity AND hundreds of years' combined experience, look no further. Joe Barbaglia and his team are experts at what they do. I thought I needed four tires, but Joe said only two. And he saw I had a bent wheel so he took a picture himself and offered to source one for me. Thanks guys, I'll be back...and so will my friends and family. Because that's how you treated met.

I have had several cars to Columbia Auto repair several times. Several of those cases were for trouble areas i think are more complex than average to diagnose and to repair. Over the course of near a dozen repairs they've done, I've always been happily surprised at how reasonable the repair costs were ... less than i expected based on my experience with other repair shops. On two of those repairs, i had to take the vehicle back because of failed parts. They took it back in right away and fixed it quickly at no additional costs to me. They stand behind their work.

Fantastic service. Very friendly helpful staff that go above and beyond. Very fairly priced. Honest business who doesn't try and upsell anything. Best mechanic shop I've been to in all of St. Louis.

Joe and his team at Columbia are my new go-to for any car service or repairs! They were so flexible with accommodating scheduling with rides and the car was ready on time at a reasonable price. The quality of the work was top notch! In addition to Joe and his mechanics, the team at reception like Nancy made me feel welcomed and taken care of. Whether its hub bearings, pigtails, or oil changes, go to Columbia for the big stuff and the little stuff- you won't regret it!

Last week, I found my 2020 Jeep unexpectedly malfunctioning and had to use my Triple A Service and this was one of the first car repair shops that was close to the area. Looking at other reviews made me hopeful; but my personal interaction reiterated that I made the right decision to have my car towed here and later repaired. Mike and Jim answered all of my questions, they were very thorough, professional and I was able to pick my car up within a day and a half. I can't thank them enough for their help and professionalism.

They gave us a 5-star experience from start to finish with all of our car repairs. I have never seen our car run so well after they did the repairs. We cannot thank them enough for their professionalism and care.

I have lived in South City for five years and am so glad I found this local repair shop. Over the past eight months, I’ve had several repairs done, and their communication has always been excellent. They clearly explain the necessary repairs and provide estimated costs before proceeding. A bonus is that they’re within walking distance from my house, making drop-off and pick-up very convenient. Recently, I ordered a new vehicle that won’t arrive for several months. When I mentioned this to Joe, he offered to complete only the crucial repairs, knowing I’ll be getting rid of my current car soon. This saved me money and really showed that they prioritize their customers’ best interests—a rare quality in many automotive shops. I highly recommend this place!

Brought in my 88 Suburban that needed some issues fixed. They not only fixed the issues but found a part that was said to be discontinued by another shop. Very pleased with my experience there.

My car broke down Friday night during rush hour on the side of Kingshighway after hitting a pot hole. I was able to get my car towed to Columbia Auto by AAA and they got me in right away to determine how bad the damage was. They were able to quickly diagnose the issue, give me an estimate and said the repairs would be completed by Monday afternoon. I got home barely late for dinner and first thing Monday morning they called to say the car was ready to be picked up and they charged me less than the estimate. Fantastic experience, will be taking all of my vehicles there in the future.

THANK YOU Columbia Auto Repair for a fast emissions test so I could renew my plates. I called ALL AROUND TOWN and no one could fit me in unless I dropped off in the morning... certainly makes things difficult if you need your vehicle to get to work! Special shout out to Brad who helped me out and let me bring my vehicle in on my way home from work to better accommodate my schedule. I wish I had found this spot sooner. Highly recommend!

Great service (and fast)! Called on a Monday afternoon, dropped my car off at 7:30am on Tuesday morning, and picked it up by 3:45pm same day with the problem solved. Very fair price for the work done. This was my first car issue since moving to the STL area and I’ll definitely be coming back to this shop for all my future repairs

I’m from out of town and had an issue where my car put me in “limp” mode. Not only did the technician explain to me what was going on but they took time out of their busy schedule to assist me. I am extremely grateful and they didn’t try to give me the “woman’s” special where they try to get money out of me. Would definitely give 10/10 if I could.

I like this shop. They do good work and don't try to push stuff on you that you don't need. It's always busy and that might bum you out, but in my mind, that is a sign of a good repair shop. People go here! So chill out. Take a breath, they know that you are tense and freaked out. Your car is broken! Relax, they will fix it.

This garage went above & beyond for my dad & I yesterday! They broke their backs to make sure they got the right part in for me. My car was in & out in 1 day. & even squeezed in a last minute inspection. Thank you Columbia Auto Repair!!!

Very happy with the service here. Had a fairly difficult repair on my wife’s Mercedes that was unexpected. They got it in the next day and were finished by noon! Bonus points for being about 25% cheaper than the dealer estimate.

I used Columbia Auto twice now and the owner and the other gentleman at the front were both times very upbeat, friendly and professional. I saw a mechanic interact with the owner and the young man was super respectful. To me that speaks of a great business culture and gave me a good vibe. I feel confident to use them in the future for all my auto needs!

Joe was amazing! (That's also my dad's name btw) I read the reviews prior to calling and his attention to detail as well as responsiveness to reviews was one of the main reasons I trusted him with a diagnostic on my BMW. He was one of the cheapest options and cut me a break without me asking or begging for it. He was very thorough and explained to me what I was reading on the diagnostic sheet. Once I come up with the rest of the funds I will DEFINITELY be trusting Joe with any other concerns I may have in regards to my BMW. Which is already not a cheap car to fix. Thank you so much again Joe. You truly helped me in a tight spot. I'll recommend you to ANYONE who will listen! 👍🏼

I live a hour and half away for Columbia auto but I work not far away. I broke down in front of shop. They could fit me in on Friday so Joe o e of the owners came in on his day off and fixed my car. Not only did he fix the problem he checked everything out. Put air in tires, more fluid in it. Then on Sunday his day off again, he met at shop so I could get my car so I would have a way to get to work on Monday. They was so friendly and good to me!! There is no doubt that if I need repairs again I WILL be calling them!
