Needed a quick part for my 2005 Ranger—got in and out in under five minutes. Price was fair, no hassle. ---

Bought a transmission from them Monday, finally got the car on the lift to swap it out, and realized the CV axle had slipped. Fixed the axle, didn’t even have to touch the transmission. Called to ask about returning it—no returns, no refunds, not even a restocking fee like other places offer. Nowhere on their website or receipt says that. Won’t be back, and I won’t send anyone else there either.

I’ll never take my business anywhere else. Had a bad situation—called Paul at Columbia Auto, and on a Friday, in the pouring rain, he went out of his way to cut a back window for my truck. But it wasn’t just the help—he saw I was upset, looked me in the eye, and said, *“Jesus wants me to give you this window.”* That moment, those words, stuck with me. Everything was falling apart, but he made it okay. Then he even gave me a contact—Mr. Wade—who stayed late just to put the window in. That’s not just good service. That’s real kindness. ---

Visiting family down there, and I was hunting for a spoiler for my car. The guys were super friendly, helped me find exactly what I needed, and charged me just $50. Fits perfect on my car. Next time I’m in town, I’ll swing by just to show them how it turned out. ---
