Honest, friendly, and timely service! They won't gouge you or recommend work you don't really need.

Was recommended this place from a friend. Kind staff and was able to explain everything to me clearly. Ended up being a minor issue which they fixed and didn’t charge me for. Thank you :)

I cannot speak highly enough of Wicke. They are the most honest, kind, and knowledgable people. You can tell they truly care about their customers and will do all they can to help you. I will drive from out of town to continue to have them work on our cars. Truly have never felt safer at a car shop. Take your cars here- you will absolutely not regret it!

Highly recommend Wicke. I've been taking my car there for a few years now, and have only had positive experiences. Very helpful, honest, and honor their timelines.

Jeff and the entire Wicke team are the epitome of an honest, efficient, and customer-first business, and I would recommend their operation for any car issues! They are well worth the drive across town! I've been taking my older car soley to Wicke for 3+ years now, and each time I left appreciating the great service and no-nonsense, fair price for the work performed. From saftey inspections, tire & windsheild repair, to brake and exhaust issues, each time they have effectively diagnosed the problem, called me before repairs with multiple options and price points, and offered an honest opinion on what I should do considering my car's age and mileage. This includes 2 times where they actually made less money because they gave an honest assesment of what was needed/not needed. Wicke Auto Shop is my trusted shop for any car repairs, and I will continue to go there with all of my vehicles in the future! Their attention to detail (including even putting away my spare tire and jack after a tire repair) does not go unnoticed, and their effeciency to return your car on the same day is quite impressive. Over the last 3 years, Jeff and team have saved me atleast $2000 over multiple issues and kept my car running well. I appreciate all they've done for me and would recommend them to anyone in need of car repair/maintenance. They are a hidden gem in STL!

Look no further in finding an honest, knowledgeable, professional and friendly mechanic shop! These guys know their stuff and will friendly explain what you need, and they aren’t gonna sell you anything you don’t. They are amazing and have great dog treats if you bring your pup!

Highly recommend Wicke Auto! Someone decided to vandalize my car, and the replacement part was 500 bucks. I took it to Wicke Auto per a friend's recommendation, and Joe offered to try and glue the part back together for free - no issues so far! Also got a quote on another repair, and the price on the replacement part was very reasonable - no insane up-charge that other places might quote. Will 100% be returning for any work I need done in the future. Great service, great people.

My daughter’s Chrysler was stalling. They diagnosed it, researched the issue, figured out it required the dealer, gave us an assessment that it was ok to drive home, which was a huge relief, because my daughter was graduating and would have been stuck without the car to get home. Total charge? Zero. Now they knew she was going home, they’ll never see her again. What motivation did they have for not charging her anything? Just one as best I can tell: they are honest decent people. Thank you, Jeff, from the bottom of my heart. You go to the mechanic, hoping they’ll repair your car, but sometimes they restore your faith in humanity.

They are welcoming but lack expertise. My car had an alternator problem. They told me to replace the battery. I was not convinced about it since my battery was less than 6 months. My friend was able to figure out the problem over the phone. Saved $300!

WOW! The reviews were not kidding when they said this shop was extremely honest. I have never been to an auto repair shop that was so kind! I went in with a damaged undercar shield. The dealership quoted me $150 just to repair it. The folks at Wicke repaired it extremely quickly and didn’t charge me a dime! I will for sure be coming back for any of my auto needs.

Great mechanics, friendly service. What more could you ask for?

I've been coming here for years now and am always happy with their service.

Wonderful experience at Wicke!! Jeff and the team were incredibly knowledgeable and honest, which I really appreciated it! They were quick to service and diagnose my car and were incredibly friendly. I would recommend this shop to anyone looking for a great place in the St. Louis area!!

Great people, great work

I'm not from St. Louis but I will always recommend Wicke Auto to anyone local or passing through. (If you don't want to read the story just skip to the bottom couple paragraphs) Here's why: I was traveling across Missouri on I-44 during Christmas weekend and the plan was to stay overnight in St. Louis. I had my wife, dog, and 3 month old baby with me. During the trip it was really dark and raining and due to these conditions I hit a shredded semi tire on the road. Within 5 minutes my van was overheating. The radiator was beyond fixing. We limped our way to Joplin and made it to our Air Bnb at midnight. I knew there were several things that could be seriously wrong with the van so I was trying to figure out where to go. I got up at 6 the next morning to start calling around and looking for a shop. After looking at my options and calling about 10 different shops I did not feel confident that any of them would be able to get me back on the road in a timely manner. That was until I called Wicke Auto. After speaking to Jeff at Wicke I knew that these guys would be capable and do everything in their power to get me back on the road. Not only did these guys rush to get my van fixed that morning, they actually went out to get the parts themselves since the shop was closing early due to it being Christmas weekend. They did quality work fast. I'm really thankful I talked to Jeff. He made sure I was taken care of and even gave me a bit of a Christmas gift of a cheaper bill on the repairs. I was able to make it home to my family in Indiana that day. Thank you Wicke Auto crew!

Joe helped me out with getting my side mirror replaced & not only was it done in a very timely manner but I noticed the next day that he even painted over some existing damage for me without me even asking! I’ll definitely be coming back for my future car repairs & needs.

100% trust them. Stand up guys

I can't emphasize enough how impressed I am with the Wickes mechanic team. They've not only secured themselves a new customer but also turned a potentially stressful situation into a remarkably pleasant experience. Here's the story: Recently, I encountered an issue with a stubbornly stripped bolt on my vehicle, and I was at my wit's end trying to figure out how to address it. That's when I turned to Wickes, and I'm incredibly glad I did. Mechanic Tim, with his wealth of knowledge and skills, immediately took charge of the situation. He not only rectified the problem swiftly but also went above and beyond to ensure that my vehicle was in top-notch condition before I hit the road again. Tim's expertise and dedication to his craft were truly admirable. However, it wasn't just Tim's technical prowess that stood out; it was also the friendliness with which he and the entire Wickes team treated me. From the moment I walked through their doors, I felt like a valued customer, not just another vehicle in need of repair. Their kindness, professionalism, and courtesy made a significant difference in my overall experience. Having had such a positive encounter with Wickes, I can confidently say that they will be my first choice for any future vehicle-related issues. Their commitment to customer satisfaction and their ability to combine technical excellence with a welcoming demeanor are truly commendable. I look forward to doing business with them again, knowing that I'll be in capable hands and treated with the utmost respect and care. Wickes has undoubtedly won my trust and loyalty.

I have taken my car here 2 times. The first was an air leak that they had resolved in two days back in september of 2022. I have a 2012 chevy sonic LTZ so it breaks down A LOT. It broke down in May of 2022, and normally does so about every 4 months (yes, I should get another car). However, Wicke helped my car run for over a year without any issues which surprised me. I recently took my car back to have it looked at after my check engine light came on. They ran many tests on it over a few days and they could not find the issue (common for small dealerships because they do not have the trademarked tech to be able to run more in depth diagnostics). So, they recommended I take it to the car dealership (Don Brown). My experience with Don Brown has been AWFUL (they have had my car for two weeks with no offer for a rental, discount, etc.). It is not Wicke's fault by any means, but definitely a side note to avoid Don Brown or any dealership because they are charging me over $800 in labor alone to replace a fuel pump (about a 2 hour job), told me they could "remove the corrosion on my battery" for 40, and "repair" my struts for 300. Needless to say, if I have say, I will only ever bring my car to Wicke. They never charged me for all the diagnostics, so I had them replace my windshield wipers just to try and compensate them a tiny bit. I have had my friend go to Wicke now, and she refuses to go anywhere else. Cannot recommend enough.

I’m been going to these guys since 2020, they make things easy to understand and are always upfront and fair with pricing. I won’t go anywhere else.

Dec 07, 2023

Jeff Wicke has been incredibly helpful to me. He showed me what was wrong and had me look at the broken parts. Unfortunately I had to get the car towed to the dealership as it needed work done exclusively by Chevrolet but he even offered to call them and explain everything to them as I wasn’t totally understanding it. Took a different car there a few years ago and was equally as pleased. I will be back!

I dropped my car off to get my check emissions light checked right as they opened at 7:30am. They called me at 8:45am, explained the problem, and said that they had the part in stock and would start on the car "as soon as they got my blessing." I adjust my plans and stay in the area instead of walking home because it should be ready soon if the started after getting confirmation. Come 1pm I go in, they guy calls the place to see if the part is on its way, and apparently, the place where they're getting the part delivered from doesn't have a delivery driver today, and they might not be able to get the part until tomorrow. At this point, it is 3pm. They did manage to get the part in same day, fix my car, and also lent me a charger so I could charge my phone which had died while I was waiting, but it was not a good experience.

Our daughter goes to school at WashU, and when we dropped her and her car off we took it to Wicke to get an emissions test so we could opt out in our home state. They were very knowledgable about the process and walked us through what we needed to do to avoid having her drive it all the way home every year for an emissions test. Not one other auto shop in St. Louis had any idea of what we needed or how to help us. Today, our daughter dropped by Wicke for a minor repair issue and they took care of her right away. They are professional, knowledgable and most importantly honest, and exactly the kind of shop you want your child to have access to! (We wish we lived closer so we could use them) Cannot recommend them enough, and our daughter has taken to recommending them to all her friends.
