Transmission Repair in Columbia, MO

“Wanted to thank the folks at Tim's Automotive. We were passing through the area when we experienced some car trouble. The team there were able to prioritize us and got us back on the road in a jiffy. The friendly and expedient service was greatly appreciated.

Also the shop was neat and well organized, which is a sign of a professionally run organization!”

“I had two vehicles serviced yesterday. They were diligent, expeditious, honest, and fair priced! Exactly what you want in an auto repair shop. They earned my loyalty on day one!”

“These guys do great work and stand behind it. I had my transmission rebuilt by them. 5,000 miles down the road started having a few issues. They willingly took it back in. It was difficult to diagnose the problem, but they spent the time and got it figured out. They then got my car fully repaired and back to me in a timely manner. Great work Rick! I send anybody I know of with transmission problems to these guys!! Along with very professional and friendly service they don't charge for the initial diagnosis. You can't beat that!!”

“Small but efficient shop, they were backed up but were able to squeeze me in for a quick fix. Dropped my car off on the AM and it was ready the pick up the same day despite the work load.”

“Pomp’s tire in Columbia Missouri is hands down THE BEST! We picked up a nail driving this morning and stopped by Pomp’s with my newborn and 4 year old! They had us back on the road in no time and had the best hospitality! The attendant was super helpful keeping our daughter occupied! He helped her turn the tv to cartoons and got her snacks out of the vending machine! Thank you for taking care of us!”

“The guys at Como are great. We blew our radiator hose on a quick trip from St. Louis to Tucson AZ. It could have a take a day or two to get it repaired at another shop but the guys at Como got us in and out in a couple of hours with no appointment. The best part is they were super fair on pricing. Thank you so much for your help. Matt”

“Excellent service the whole way through. Dropped my car off in the morning for a MO state vehicle inspection. Really old car so knew there was a lot to be done.

The service agent called me up and went through everything that was wrong with it, and then went over only the parts that were needed to pass. The ones I turned down they went over the time I have left on them, a rough estimate of price if I wanted to come back in the future.

In short, they could have easily uphold me on stuff that didnt actually need to be done right then.

But they didn't, they were very honest and I would use them again in a heartbeat.”

“This place is hands down the BEST place I’ve ever taken my car to. I will forever recommend these guys to ANYONE who has transmission issues. I had a 2015 ford focus that needed a dual clutch replaced and there ended up being a few different hiccups and it took about a week to get it worked out but they provided me transportation until they were able to fix it and made sure to keep it longer to be 100% sure that everything was running the way it was supposed to. The day we thought it was completely ready we were going to meet up at the car rental place and Mike called saying he didn’t feel comfortable giving me the car yet because he said it was acting weird. (Which made me feel really secure about his judgement) So about a day later he called and let me know everything was finally fixed. When I got the car back it was running better than it ever has! These guys are VERY genuine, humble, trustworthy men. I will ALWAYS go to them for ANY transmission issues. And I recommend that you truly trust the process even if things go wrong. These guys are very good at what they do and your patience will go a LONG way. I HIGHLY recommend!”

“Trent and the team get the job DONE. Work with you every step of the way. Exhausted the options for a new alternator AND got me a better warranty. If you ask, you will get ALL the information you need! As long as I'm in Columbia, I'm loyal to GAPS”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five-Star Experience at Tom’s Auto!

We recently purchased a used vehicle from Tom’s Auto, now under new leadership, and I truly could not be more impressed. Buying a used car can be stressful—you never quite know what you’re walking into—but this was by far the most seamless, stress-free experience I’ve ever had.

A huge part of that was thanks to their General Manager, Fender. He was an absolute pleasure to work with. His communication was clear, consistent, and incredibly reassuring throughout the entire process. He kept us informed every step of the way, answered every question with patience and professionalism, and made sure we felt completely confident in our purchase. It’s rare to find someone so genuine and customer-focused, and his leadership truly shows.

I was also impressed with the updates and improvements they’ve made to the shop—it’s clear they’re committed to elevating both the environment and the experience for their customers.

Whether you’re looking to buy a vehicle or need repairs, I highly recommend Tom’s Auto. With Fender at the helm, you can trust you’re in great hands. They are truly Columbia’s trusted automotive experts. ?✨”
