As cars become more technologically advanced, the importance of your vehicle’s battery becomes more important. In the old days, a car battery essentially worked, or it didn’t; if it was good enough to start the car, it was good enough. Moderns vehicles are a different story. A faulty battery can cause a variety of issues, including engine codes, sensor failures, irregular transmission behavior, and the list goes on.

Battery failure often causes issues that are commonly misdiagnosed, and in the hands of the wrong auto repair shop, a mechanic may spend hundreds of your hard-earned dollars chasing problems that don’t exist. At Woody's Automotive in Wichita, KS, our mechanics are familiar with modern vehicles and the problems that accompany them.

Woody's is conveniently located in my neighborhood and when one of my vehicles starts making noises or a warning light comes on, I stop by and Woody's is always happy to let me know whether it's safe to continue to drive it or not and make a service appointment in the near future. I do my own routine maintenance - oil changes, wipers, fluids - but when my vehicles put out a cry for help beyond what I can do, it gives me great peace of mind to be able to trust Woody's for fair, prompt, reasonably priced, courteous service, including a complementary ride to or from their shop, when needed. I know I can rely on Woody's for what I need and want, no more (greatly appreciated!) and no less! Thank you to all at Woody's!! - Brenda S.
