Great place! Very competitive prices but more importantly very competent guys. One thing I would say that I didnt see anyone else answer is that you CAN drop your car off and pick it up outside of their open hours but you have to get a gate code. The gate is locked and you wont be able to unless you call ahead to get that code.
The only place to go in Bloomington to get your cars fixed! Quick turnaround, fair and honest pricing, and knowledgeable staff. These guys do their best trying to figure out what’s wrong, and if they can’t, they’ll refer you to someone who can. The owner and his staff care about the customers and we’ve been able to build a great relationship because they’re always willing to communicate. Can’t recommend them enough!
Such a great experience working with this shop! I brought my car in with a large fix (control arms) that other shops did not feel comfortable fixing. Not only did they fix the issue, but they were so accommodating and allowed me to get my car outside of the shops hours! I am so happy there is a car repair shop in this area that is knowledgable, professional and takes the time to diagnose the problem (unlike many other jobs I have been to in the past)! Having a Land Rover, there are an endless number of breaks that are very complex. With that being said, there has not been a fix they can not do. I recommend this shop to all my friends and family in the area, they are the best.
We were glad to use Wray Automotive for some repairs to my daughters car. They were recommended to us. The whole experience was great. I spoke to the technician on the phone before any work was performed. He did the bare minimum to get things started. He explained that it may require more work later, but to try this first. The problem was fixed and I have found a great repair shop. I totally appreciated that they were trustworthy. I was nervous to have my daughter take the car into the shop by herself, since we live in another city. This place was excellent! The prices were fair and the work was done pretty quickly. Thank you for your care of my daughter and her car.
Wray Automotive is a great place to get work done on your vehicle. I have a 1985 Toyota Pickup and have been going to them as my primary mechanic for the last year and a half. The staff is super friendly, kind, professional, and they communicate about the issues in a way that makes sense. There is no nonsense or overly technical explanations that confuse you; its the right mix. The owner, Sam, is super friendly too. I only met him once but I was dropping my truck off late and he offered to give me a ride to the other side of town where I lived instead of walking three miles. He went out of his way to do this, he really didnt have to. The staff also remembers you. It all goes to show that they treat you like a member of their own community so you really know they care about you as a customer. More businesses should follow their model. I cant recommend them enough!
Wray Automotive is amazing! I recently discovered their full service automobile mechanic business and am so excited that I did. I went for an oil change and they did an overall safety check noting two items that didnt need fixed yet, but they offered to partner with me to keep an eye on them. Very friendly, kind, knowledgeable, and professional humans with 2 equally wonderful dogs welcoming you when you arrive. I highly recommend Wray Automotive! Thanks for being awesome!
Wray automotive was very kind in accommodating my work schedule and the team was thorough, friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend!
I cannot recommend Wray Automotive enough. They were detailed with the quote and helpful and informative in their explanations. They were also very honest about what repairs were needed for my car. I ended up paying $2000 less than a dealership quoted me because Wray found that several parts on my car actually did not need repairs. I am very happy and impressed with their work and service and will definitely take my car here again.
Kind and trustworthy! I would 100% recommend going to this place! They won’t be the guys to over charge you and sell you things you don’t need. I have a lot of respect for the workers here!
Parents, if youre anxious about having your college kids take their car into the shop without you; send them to Wray Automotive.I just moved to the area for graduate school and Wray Automotive changed my oil for the first time today. As a single female, getting car work done can feel like Im getting swindled or talked down to; not at Wray Automotive.Chris was fantastic in explaining what my car needed and provided great quality service for an exceptional value. He also quoted services I need to be thinking about in the future. I was amazed by the pricing.I do not plan on going anywhere else for future automotive needs! Thanks guys!
I had my car towed to this place for emergency surgery on a shifter that was acutely not functional. They could not source the part required and sent me off to find a compatible replacement, which was okay in my book. They also did not want to do any other work on my car, which was also okay. Which was not okay was that they charged me +100$ for reading codes off the ECU, which I had already done and in fact told them what the codes were as I turned the car in. They did no further work regarding these codes and and offered no solution what so ever. For that extra 100$ they charged me they are not getting any more business from neither me nor anyone I know. No other shop in town charges that much for reading codes. World Wide Auto is a good alternative and better option in my humble opinion.
A piece from my gear shift fell off and needed it fixed immediately and went to Wray and they ordered the piece for me right then and there and fixed it for me on the spot. Super friendly staff and great service!
This company is awesome! They are honest, timely, and had great communication with me. I highly recommend Wray Automotive!
Friendly, professional and very transparent. They’ve always given me honest assessments of my vehicle and have never tried to overcharge me for anything my car doesn’t need, which I really appreciate! Highly recommend this place!!
Thank you so much for being able to look at our daughter’s brakes today. As a college student, she had a long drive back to Northwest Indiana tomorrow and we feel so much better knowing everything was ok. Not being from the area we chose a place close to her home and so glad we chose you guys. Thanks so much for being so kind and helpful to her.
Honest local shop. If you want the work done right this is where you need to to. And they have the most lovable fur babies in the shop as well
Super service! Got us in the same day we called. We had only one repair planned, but they were generous enough to schedule in more for the same day after we mentioned some issues we were having. Wasnt planning to get the car back for 3 days, but they got it done the next day! Prices were reasonable, and I believe they got us the highest quality parts that were also affordable.They gave us suggestions for future repairs we would need that they found while working, but didnt pressure us to address them at this time. They let us know what was urgent or necessary, and what could wait. They made sure to give us estimates before making any decisions. Very patient, honest and upfront staff!Not to mention the two cute and sweet dogs that are eagerly waiting to greet all customers! I felt very comfortable throughout the whole experience, and I definitely plan to return for all future needs. Cant recommend enough!(This is Sabrina Laughlin with the Pontiac Grand Prix by the way, thanks again guys! Car drives smooth as butter now!)
Amazing same-day service! Our usual shop couldn’t get us in, but they recommended Wray Automotive. I am beyond impressed! They diagnosed my bad starter, got the part, and replaced it all in the same afternoon! We never had to deal with the hassle of moving our kids’ car seats out of our van. So grateful for this recommendation! We will definitely use them again!
I had a wonderful experience with Wray Automotive! I called on Monday, requesting a full inspection and wheel alignment. They scheduled me for Wednesday morning, and said it would be done by the end of the day. On the day of, I dropped the car off, and they were extremely polite and professional!Side note: they have two dogs behind the counter who are SO well-behaved! They were so sweet. :D The dogs made the experience even better.I returned home, and got a call an HOUR later saying it was ready. They were so quick! Unfortunately, I had to go to work so I couldn’t pick up right away. When I got caught up at work, I called and said I might be late. They were very understanding, and even stayed after they closed just so I could get my car same-day!I will DEFINITELY be coming back here for my auto needs. 10/10 would recommend
First auto shop Ive been too in a long time that I would give return business to. Went in to have some fluids changed and flushed but needed some work done to keep it from a serious breakdown. Answered all of my questions in a friendly manner. They couldnt get it done same-day but after telling them I worked 3rd shift they had it done the next morning! The last place I went for repairs they took over a week and acted bothered when I came back to have my lug nuts torqued.
Did an amazing job on my truck. Was so polite and patient when telling them what was wrong and paid an affordable price would definitely recommend ☺️
Wray has been absolutely amazing, and done it more than once.I would go as far as to say they have went a good deal beyond any expectations.Weve been treated incredibly well by everyone there, especially the big meaty puppies.The service was absolutely amazing. really thoughtful, understanding, and quick to offer solutions to keep us going until we could do more.Now, somehow, when our awesome little PT Cruiser finally died, they even found us a new car at an awesome price and this car is treatinh us better than anything has.Seriously, if you need some repairs, if you need some upgrades, tires, a whole new coolant system, or anything, just go to Wray Automotive. Seriously, these guys turned our emergency situation into an absolute blessing!Thanks to everyone at Wray! Well be back!
I received great customer service treatment and they did a great job working on my car! I will definitely call them again!
Couldn’t get in to our usual place and were referred here. They got us in next day and done by noon. Impressed by their honesty and speed. We will be back!
Took my car in for check engine light and clicking noise. Wrays found nothing wrong, but advised replacing rear caliper, rotors and brake pads, at a great price. My car runs great and Ill use Wrays again for all my maintenance.
Very professional and nice guys who work there. I plan on going back again. Helped cut me a deal. Only thing is I forgot to tell them not to roll down my window and they rolled it down. So now it wont go up. They did try to get it to go up but had no luck. I did get it up with some familys help so once I save up the money I will take it back there to be fixed.
I won’t take my car anywhere else. Fast and great service, and they won’t rip you off like other shops. I’ve had pretty major repairs done here as well as regular maintenance and it’s always a pleasant experience during what can be a very stressful situation. No more wasting time and money getting multiple quotes to make sure you don’t get ripped off! These guys do honest and quality work.
They were great taking care of my car. As well as, being helpful to all my questions and friendly service. 10/10 Would definitely recommend this place.
Wrays Automotive is fantastic. They came highly recommended by a friend and we went in last week needing to catch up on general maintenance that had been put off for too long. Wrays got us a quote quickly reviewed what was most important to complete and what else needed to be done eventually but could wait. They explained everything on the list clearly and answered all of our questions. Then they went to work and had it all done same day. Very friendly and just great at their jobs. We will be back! ~Shauna & Dave
Wonderful. Very helpful and explained everything. My Jeep broke down in town and they took me right in and worked me into their schedule. Much appreciated.
Highly recommend ! Excellent communication ! Made appointment after calling shop about 2012 Highlander. Gave us an idea of what costs may be and we were extremely pleased with cost and timeliness of repair. Completed repairs that were needed - took it in at 8AM they called at 345pm and said it was completed. Could not have been more satisfied and I will use Wrays for any future auto repairs. I Highly Recommend Wrays for all your automotive repair needs.
My IU students car started running rough and I couldnt drive to diagnose it. Through the phone I could tell one of the cylinders was missing. I found Wray Automotive through Google searches. It took a couple days to get an appointment, but they diagnosed a fouled spark plug from an oil leak on the valve cover. Clearly why it was missing. Chris provided clear communication and estimate. They were able to fix those issues in a day but noticed that the valve cover had a crack. Chris communicated with me about the extra issue they had found and I had them repair that. They also repaired a leaking coolant hose clamp for free. Very good experience and timely repair.
The staff is super friendly and professional. I went in to change my brake pads and get my oil change. Super affordable, they did a great job! Highly recommend!
Took my daughters car there a few weeks ago, they found the problem and had it fix the same day. Very professional, honest work and a good price, I will definitely be using them for my future car service needs.
They replaced rusty steering components in my car and then aligned the wheels. Fair price, solid work, friendly staff, and a quick turnaround.
This place is amazing! They’re the nicest people to work with, they made everything so seamless and easy. Thank you guys!
Chris and Sam are the nicest, most straight forward, talented guys in town. They helped me fix an O2 sensor and exhaust manifold issue on a 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser, and now she runs like new. They even kept all of the parts they took off and showed me exactly what was happening and why they fixed it. I couldn’t be more pleased with my service at Wray’s.
Fast service, good pricing
Was amazed how quick they were able to fix my car, felt it was well worth the value. Also very cute office dogs.
Great staff, very clear and upfront, no hidden fees or charges, no extra things that I dont need. Dropped off my car and got it back the same day and now it runs smooth as butter, for half the price of the chain repair shops. Im very impressed and plan on coming back again.
Great people, great service! They did a great job with my car and were very fair in their prices. I recommend them to everyone I know and will continue taking my vehicles here.
These guys are just absolutely amazing!!! Super kind and quick turnaround! Had my car back the next afternoon. Great prices and good work! Will definitely use them again!
Great place to get your car fixed! Thank you guys!!!
Amazing experience on two separate occasions. They take care of their customers, they’re fast and not looking to rip you off. Good people at Wrays.
Timing belt kit and water pump on my Highlander! Great job!
The folks at Wray Automotive were great. They were friendly and professional, and they worked with my schedule to help maintain my car while avoiding any extra inconvenience to me. Ive worked at a shop before where we held ourselves to high standards and treated every customer with respect (even the difficult ones), and Wray strikes me as the same. I plan to bring my vehicle here in the future for regular maintenance and any repairs it may need.
I went to Wrays hoping to find an honest shop to take to care of my car that holds major sentimental value and I will be a forever customer. Great customer service, fast turnaround on repairs, and they did exactly what I requested. I highly recommend them!
The reason you wont see any negative reviews for Wray Automotive is because there isnt a reason for any. If youre like me and you typically own older vehicles, make it Wray. In this town, it can sometimes be a chore to find a garage that both shoots straight and has their sh!# together. Well, take it from me, Wrays got it.If youre ready to stop screwing around with this place and that place and are ready to depend on one shop that wont let you down, make it Wray.
The folks at Wray Automotive are amazing. My daughter attends IU and I live in New Jersey. So I was connecting with them(Stephanie) via the phone from NJ. Honesty, honesty, honesty, honesty, honesty, I cant say it enough is an amazing quality to have in the repair business especially Automotive.They could have easily charged me for the diagnosis they performed but they didnt. They told me that the issue with my Mazda CX-9 is under warranty and I should bring it the the local Mazda dealership. Being from NJ I couldnt do that so THEY ACTUALLY DROVE MY CAR at No Charge to the Royal South Mazda Dealership. NOW THATS GREAT SERVICE. Anyone reading this revue must DRIVE or CALL Wary Automotive, because they will be honest and trustworthy with their service. SIMPLY AMAZING!! Best, Mike Barlev
These guys are the best...My son was ready to come home after a rough covid year of school at IU. Car would not start and we had just replaced the battery. No clue what to do so I called Wray Automotive and spoke with Chris. He was totally up front and told me it may be a couple of days as they were backed up. Had the car towed there and they took a few minutes to look at it despite how busy they were. They determined it was a simple bad battery cable, replaced it same day and boom we had our car back that day. Chris even went out of his way to pick up my son so he could come get his car as he did not have a ride. What else could you ask for !!!! Never use anyone else if youre in Bloomington!!
Great mechanics and staff, and 💯 honest. Could have charged me $150 or more but he was honest and I was charged $40. It was my second time at Wrays and Im very happy.
I selected five stars because there wasnt six. I wont go anywhere else! Wrays has gone above and beyond with my repair work. Working around my budget and getting me the biggest bang for my buck. Im not sure how they do it, but they do it.
I am so happy to have found Wray’s Automotive! They are super nice, very knowledgeable about all kinds of vehicles, and only fix what needs to be fixed. I highly recommend them!
They have worked on my vehicle a couple of times now, great turn around time and was able to get me in there within a reasonable time! Great diagnostics and professional quality work completed. I also rate a great price, especially considering the knowledge and professionalism behind the job. Definately my go too mechanic shop!
My husband and I recently moved to Indiana, and at the time my car was not driveable. Upon leaving my previous residency, my mechanic had told me that my rear differential was falling apart and needed to be replaced (very expensive fix). I called several mechanics here in Bloomington in order to get price quotes. Some said they would call me back, and never did. Some were able to give me a quote for a brand new one, and others didnt even get that far and just quoted me what they thought it would cost (they were by far the most expensive). Wrays automotive took the time to call around and quote me the for just a used one with a warranty, and were very professional; despite it taking a few days- they continued to keep posted. I never felt like they forgot about me. Even better- when I got my car in, it turned out the other mechanics were wrong and I actually had issues with the center support bearing! Saved me a lot of money, were very professional and polite, and they did great work! My car drives like a dream again. My husband and I were relieved to have also found our mechanics for any future issues. Would highly recommend these guys!
A bad batch of diesel fuel caused havoc with my fuel system. The dealer wanted almost $5000 to fix. Wray fixed it for half that cost plus helped me determine that the diesel feul was bad. I have found my auto repair place for life!!! Thanks Wray Automotive
Called to see if serpentine belt replacement was an offered service and was hung up on without being replied to. Called back and my call was ignored. Guess those 4.7 stars aren’t a reliable representation of the customer service provided.
A friend referred me to Wray after I expressed frustrations with getting upcharged without permission at multiple other auto shops around town. The staff at Wrays is friendly and professional, and their services are reasonably priced. While working on an oil change, they also recommended an air filter replacement. Before performing the service, they called me to ask for my permission and noted the price, which was a breath of fresh air. I plan on returning to Wray for future car care services.
Remember the days when your Dad or Grandpa went to a specific mechanic because they were trustworthy? This is that place. Done right, price as quoted and on time. Very knowledgeable, will not use anyone else, period.
I needed a hitch installed for my sedan for an upcoming move with a trailer. It was very difficult to find folks in Bloomington who could help with this particular hitch/car combination. The folks at Wray were very helpful, transparent, and really worked hard to get the job done by my move date. Very nice family business.
They did exactly what we needed, in exactly the time frame they quoted us, for exactly the price they quoted us. Fair, honest, and friendly. They will be getting much more of our business.
I changed my tire with them. Staffs were very friendly and super lovely. Price was very reasonable (it was cheap, compares it with the last time I changed my tire). I will definitely come back soon to change the car oil.
Good people good prices
Went out of their way to do a great job. Quoted a price but then lowered it when it took less time to do the job. Kind of unheard of now a days.
I called Wrays to see if they could help me out with a dead car and they were so quick to respond and get it repaired, they communicated well and made the process so easy and seamless! They were willing to answer all my questions and had great customer service!
It’s hard to find places that are reliable, trustworthy, and budget friendly. Wray’s definitely hits the nail on all of that. From reception to the mechanics you’ll be met with friendliness and good service. They communicated updates frequently, and completed the job in a timely fashion. The owner stopped me just before I was about to leave the lot to share some things about my car that he might be concerned about but didn’t try to pitch anything... just genuinely offering help. Will definitely be going back.
Words can’t describe how grateful I am that this place exists! I was visiting from out of town and my car started acting up. They managed to get me in and out in a matter of hours. I’ve never had such a good experience with a mechanic! This will be my mechanic of choice once I move to Bloomington. Also, their shop dogs are the cutest!
Ive been to Wrays several times from just an oil change to having my head gaskets replaced. They are fantastic! Best prices around and fastest oil change Ive ever experienced. Usually at the dealers Ive got to wait over an hour; but at Wrays Im in and out in under 30 minutes. The people there are very friendly and helpful - would highly recommend taking your vehicle to them!
I have a college son who had an emergency car issue And Wray automotive was super responsive, Polite, professional and very affordable. It’s great to know that I have a mechanic that I could Depend on to be fair and respectable !
Awesome service. Extreme quality and great fair pricing. I have found my mechanic in Bloomington, Indiana!
Great place, the only place I take my vehicles. Definitely trust them to treat me right.
Wray Automotive was so great! As a woman that knows very little about cars I often feel disrespected and intimated at automotive repair shops, but Wray Automotive treated me with respect and answered every question I had clearly. They called me when they discovered the problem and layed out all the possibilities of the fix. Then when they actually fixed it they were able to clean parts and save me money! The front lobby is clean and inviting. It was a great experience. I could not be happier! This was my first time at Wrays and I will definitely be doing all my future car maintenance here.
I was able to get my car in quickly. They reached out to me within a few hours when starting their day. It was very pleasant to talk both employees that contacted me. There was no pressure to have anything done to my vehicle.
I am new to Bloomington so when my cars right wheel started making a screeching sound (suspected the wheel bearing) I took my car to a mechanic shop recommended by a coworker (I wont name this shop). I made an appointment, took my car there, and after they had it for 3 hours they quoted me $700 to replace the wheel bearing and some other related components.That seemed too expensive so I called around and ended up making an appointment at Wray Automotive. They were able to get me in within a week, and over the phone quoted me a much more reasonable price. They took my car right at 8am to try to get it repaired before I had to go to work. An hour after I took my car in they called and said it had just needed a loose nut torqued down to spec. It cost a fraction of what I had been quoted at the other mechanic shop and took 1/3 of the time.Overall fantastic experience and I will definitely be coming back should I have any other car issues in the future.
I had a good friend whom took his vehicle into Wrays Automotive recently. First of all, his vehicle sat and was not even looked ar for over a week, they overcharged for the parts tremendously, did not finish the work that was said needed to be done but was paid for, and when he got his vehicle back, it ran just as bad as it did when he took his vehicle in.I am only placing this reveiw because I hate to see good decent hardworking people get ripped off, let alone that my friend takes care of his elderly mother, and this vehicle was the means to care for her.
We took our car in on Thursday after hours to have some extensive brake repair done. The work was finished by 3:30 the next day. They stayed in touch as work progressed, and the bill came in under the anticipated figure. These folks are skilled, friendly, and absolutely the best in my opinion. I will happily recommend them to anyone.
Very helpful staff. I needed new tires and they had new tires on my car along with balance/alignment in just a couple hours... I didnt even have an appointment. They have also done other things with my car and it has been done right every time and done quickly. Highly recommend this place for any assistance with your car.
My husband who always took care of my car passed away 1-1/2 yrs ago. I was desperate to find an automotive shop/garage that I foremost could trust and secondly could afford. Finding Sam Wray and his crew was an answer to my prayer. They are honest, trustworthy, friendly, and very reasonably priced. They take time to listen, to answer questions, and explain. There are not enough words to express the high praise and trust I have for Wray Automotive.
Fantastic service! I needed a new starter today and they got me in right away and it was done the same day. Very reasonable prices, extremely trustworthy, and friendly staff. This will be my go to automotive shop from now on for any of my car needs and oil changes. Good friends of mine who have lived in Bloomington for a long time recommended this shop to me and I am so glad I listened. :)
Nice staffs! They get the job done professionally with a reasonable price.
Good people. Got me in on new years eve last minute. Had to take my car in a little while later and they fixed a large oil leak in the engine for a fair price. When I got my car back the speedometer wasnt working, which wasnt an issue before, and they fixed it free of charge and even drove me to work that day. Overall a good experience.
2015 Prius water pump replacement, in on one morning and out the next, charged me less than Googles lower end estimate for the repair. They were recommended by another mechanic in town so I guess customers and competition respect this shop!
Very communicative and efficient. Fair pricing. Would absolutely return for other services.
Always top notch service. Honest and professional which is hard to find. I honestly wouldn’t go anywhere else. Couldn’t ask for a better mechanic in town.
Called this morning around 9. Got my car towed from Martinsville to Wray Automotive in Bloomington today. They were able to fix it today and addressed some other concerns with it as well. All done and out the door before 6 pm today! Now that’s service! Very prompt, considerate, courteous, thorough, and affordable!! Highly recommend!!!
Definitely recommend! Great local service that values their customers. Worked with me and got the best I could for my budget. I will continue to go here as long as Im in Bloomington.
We have taken all 3 of our vehicles to Wray Automotive since they opened. In December, I took my car in set on getting a certain brand of tire and an alignment. Sam recommended another brand with a better warranty and better price. They always try their best to work you in if you didnt make an appointment ahead of time. We send all our friends and family to them.
Very happy with my experience. Friendly staff. I would recommend people here. Can get you in right away. Found my go to auto mechanic place.
The only mechanic I will go to! So fast and very trustworthy. Take any car you are thinking of buying here first to get checked out!!
They wont help you so you can do the job yourself they want you to spend thousands with them when no one has that kind of money with covid going on not everyone got stimulus money or unemployment while setting on their rears
Car service that based on the actual condition of your car rather than some calendar of maintenance. Friendly people. Fast. Good prices.
We had a bolt get stripped on our vehicle and were needing to get it removed ASAP. We contacted an auto shop and they recommended us to one place. That place said that he was 5 weeks behind on work and that he wouldn’t be able to help us - and he recommended Wray automotive. We got the vehicle towed there, and they had the bolt removed the next day!
Easy, professional, quick, great location!
Good people, fast work.
I enjoyed the family feel of Wrays and the fair prices that they give. It is nice to find a trustworthy mechanic.
Super accommodating to someone with an exhaustive work schedule and communicative. Really superb service and work. I will go back to them again. If you have a subaru that needs work, this is the crew to go to.
Sam worked on his supplier to get the cost of my brakes down and did the work quickly. Very satisfied.
I have been several times for multiple vehicles for multiple things. They are reasonable, quick, and trustworthy. They caught things other places missed. Highly recommend!
Great customer service and fair prices
