Automotive News & Information - Woody's Automotive

Once you have a set of new tires installed on your commercial truck or fleet vehicle, you’ll want to get the most out of them. By maintaining them correctly and inspecting them regularly, you’ll keep them on the road for many miles to come. At Woody's Automotive in Wichita, KS we want you to be able to drive on your tires for miles, so let us help you do just that!

Your car’s fuel system works with the rest of the engine control system to deliver the best performance with the lowest emissions. Check your car’s fuel system regularly or immediately if you smell gas or suspect a problem.

What does it do? - The fuel system transfers fuel from the fuel tank and passes it through a fuel filter for straining before it arrives at the injectors. A pressure regulator controls fuel pressure to ensure good engine performance under a variety of speed and load conditions. Fuel injectors, when activated, spray a metered amount of fuel into the engine. Some vehicles use a return line system to return unused fuel back to the tank.

Ever looked at the bottom of your shoes and noticed that one area of the sole is more worn than another? The way you walk causes a wear pattern to occur as you put more weight on certain areas of your feet. If your shoe needed work, you would take it to a cobbler.

I want to let everyone know who much Woody's in College Hill helped me out with some massive repairs that I had put off for years. Started out small in 2019 with a dash warning light about my 'Passenger Air Bag'. They determined that it was only the sensor (not the Air Bag) in the passenger seat belt housing but due to the age of the car and the part was no longer available new. They took on the challenge to find either a 'rebuilt' or new (from somewhere). It took almost a year, but they found one and now it's fixed. Dedication ! Then Jan 2023 the starter died and I had it replaced along with decided to get it and other stuff like Spark Plugs, Steering Rack & Pinion and Control Arm replaced/fixed. Excellent JOB!! Went back in Mar 2023 to finish all the outstanding work with all Struts/Shocks replaced and an Oil Crankshaft leak repair. My car drives like a dream - so smooth! And best of all I believe with all the work my mileage has improved!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE and ALL THE GUYS THERE! Friendly, not condescending to those without mechanical knowledge and gives full explanations! Have used since I moved to Wichita and will continue!

Kyle at the College Hill location has been a boon and a godsend. Wonderful and honest to boot. Will be coming back again and again for service, no doubt.

Brake pads are important - you don’t need them to go, but you do need them to stop. At Woody's Automotive in Wichita, KS, we like to keep your vehicle stopping exactly as it should - it’s less dangerous, and it keeps insurance premiums low. So, how do you know if your brake pads are going bad? How do they work? What even are they? We’ve got the answers!

It’s easier than ever to keep your fleet running smoothly for thousands of miles. If a vehicle has less than 50,000 miles on it today, chances are it still has 75 percent of its driving life ahead of it. That’s good news if you’re a company managing a fleet of vehicles. It wasn’t that long ago that hitting the 100,000-mile mark on the odometer was a major milestone. Today, vehicles are built to last. With the proper maintenance and attention, there’s no reason you shouldn’t expect to see that 50,000-mile reading on the odometer one day roll right past 200,000 and keep ongoing. Here at Woody's Automotive, we're going to give you some tips on how to make that happen!
