“Five Stars – Honest, Trustworthy, and Truly Go Above and Beyond

I’ve been using Wright’s Auto for nearly 30 years, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about this shop. I’m lucky to have a husband and dad who are fairly car-savvy and handle a lot of the basic maintenance for me—but when it’s something beyond our abilities, Wright’s is the only place I trust.

They’ve always been honest, fair, and incredibly thorough. While they may not be the absolute cheapest, they are far from the most expensive, and their integrity and expertise are well worth every penny.

Most recently, I brought my Jeep in for a check engine light issue. After replacing the O2 sensor with OEM parts ourselves, we still got the same error. We suspected a fuel pump issue, but before spending $450 on the part and hours of labor, we took it to Wright’s. They carefully examined everything, ruled out the fuel pump and several other potential causes, and traced the issue to the PCM—something that unfortunately has to be handled by a dealership.

Wright’s spent a significant amount of time diagnosing the issue and still only charged a basic diagnostic fee. What really impressed me, though, is how they continued to support us even after the Jeep left their shop. When the dealership started pushing unnecessary repairs, Wright’s stood by their findings, explained everything to us clearly, and even called another local dealership directly to advocate on our behalf and ensure they understood what had already been done.

That kind of service is rare. I’ve had several other great experiences at Wright’s over the years, and it’s such a relief to know there’s a local shop that I can count on to be straightforward and truly have my best interest at heart. Car repairs are never fun, but with Wright’s, I never worry about being misled or overcharged.

Highly, highly recommend them to anyone looking for an honest, skilled, and caring mechanic.”

“Very good shopping experience. Everyone was very professional, friendly and helpful. Our salesperson, Tanya, was friendly, knowledgeable and went over and above to address all of our questions. Would highly recommend Victory Chevrolet to others looking for a vehicle.”

“The service I recently received at Dave's Auto Body & Hot Rod Shop was the best I've experienced at any auto service establishment in memory. The owner, Robin, personally helped me with two service repairs, one of which—a brake light bulb outage—he had brought to my attention because I had overlooked it myself. He was conversational, friendly, and professional, and the work he performed on my vehicle was eminently good.

I'll share one anecdote from my visit that hopefully demonstrates the quality of the service and the attention to detail the shop offers. After popping the hood of my vehicle and fixing my headlight, but before turning his attention to the brake light bulb, Robin noticed that my hood bumper stops had become too depressed. Their depression was causing the hood to move while the vehicle was in motion even while the hood was fully latched. I didn't bring this issue to his attention. He noticed it during the course of his work and patiently fixed this problem, going back and forth from the hood to the hood release over the course of a few minutes to get the stops just right in order to ensure the hood would seal tightly.

As anyone knows who is interested in having auto body repairs done on their vehicle, this craft demands attention to detail and and a clear vision of the end results. But there is also a human element to the work that is just as important. The work isn’t done in a vacuum. It’s done with and for people, and Robin gets this principle perhaps better than anyone I've met who is working on cars.

Needless to say, I highly recommend the work of Dave's Auto Body & Hot Rod Shop and remain really grateful for the work they did for me.”

“Took my truck in due to body damage from a tire blow out. They gave me a quick quote. Let me know when the parts were in and had everything fixed in less than the time originally expected. I would use this business again in the future!”

“Great service department. This was my first visit to Victory Chevrolet. I was greeted by the service manager as soon as I entered the service department. The service was fast. I had an oil change and tire rotation. I dropped off my car early. The entire process from check in to getting the call the car was finished was around 30 minutes.”

“Good labor rate..kept me updated on all issues related to my car and felt they did a good job at a fair price. Car runs great, I'll keep it another 10 years.”

“I rented a zero turn mower and trailer from the phone call to taking it back the whole experience was perfect Stephanie and Brian in fixed operation was great and very helpful I do thank you for a great job from front to back thanks again ? ?”

“This place is phenomenal! We are fairly new to the area and wasn't quite sure where to go. The auto parts store down the street told us to go here. We got an appt the next day and was told it would take 2 weeks to get the part needed. It actually only took 2 days! As we were leaving our car there to get fixed our truck started making some noise. Jim got in and took it for a quick drive and knew exactly what was wrong. We were leaving for vacation 4 days later. Jim took great care of us. He fixed the truck in time for us to go on vacation and had the other vehicle fixed by the time we got back! Prices were super fair and exactly what he quoted us. I have found my new go to mechanic! Thank you for a great job done!”

“On July 1, I embarked on 8700 mile road trip with my camper and family of six. On day two the camper tire sheared off - effectively ending the once in a lifetime trip. 1000 miles from home, Croft trailer took pity on me and got me safely on the road by 11 o’clock the next morning (13 hours later). Unbelievable service.

Every other shop in MO told me “tough luck”.

God bless! I am in your debt! Our trip was amazing and I am thankful beyond words. Wishing you nothing but success!”

“Wonderful service. They painted my bumper. It looks amazing and they wiped down the inside of my car and cleaned my dog slobbered windows! That's service!”

“Had a catalytic issue, another shop quoted me 2000$ to replace the converter. Expensive and I don’t care about emissions so kept driving for about 8 months before it eventually started flashing check engine light at me. Took it into this shop and told them what the other shop told me. They could’ve ran up the cost and just replaced the converter but instead they were honest and diagnosed it as a failing ignitor. 350$ and i was back on the road. Will come back here again.”
