ABOUT US
Family owned and operated since November 2008. We take pride in treating you like family, not just another number.
OUR STORY
Woody’s Garage opened its doors in November 2008 with a simple mission: to provide the community with an honest, reliable, and high-quality auto repair experience.
As a family-owned, non-franchised shop, we aren't tied to corporate sales quotas or high-pressure tactics. We take care of our clients' vehicles with genuine passion and understanding.
We know that dealing with car repairs can be stressful. That is why we take pride in treating our clients like real people. When you walk through our doors, you are treated with the respect and transparency you deserve.

MEET THE TEAM
PAUL WUDARSKI
Owner
Born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1978 to two immigrated Polish parents, Paul is fluent in Polish and started working on cars at the age of 14. He grew up working on Nissans and GM sedans and began working at a Subaru dealership in 2004. He later transitioned to KIA in 2008. By 2008, Paul obtained his ASE Master Technician certification A1-A8 and was also certified as a parts specialist and service advisor. He obtained Advanced Diagnostic and Undercar Specialist certifications and also has an air conditioning certification.
He opened Woody's Garage in November 2008 to provide a more personalized and higher quality auto repair service to the industry. In March of 2012 Woody's moved to its current location to accommodate a higher volume of clients. Since moving he has hired quality employees to help with the increased volume.
In Woody's spare time he enjoys spending time with his beautiful daughters Natalina and Shelby as well as family. He spends time motorcycling, racing rallycross, as well as Ice racing.
Fun fact: Woody is Paul's nickname, stemming from his last name and the fact that there were 3 Pauls at the Subaru dealership he used to work at.
