i do not recommend this place at all. ZERO stars! my car was here for almost 3 months for an engine swap. they never gave me a list of everything i needed, only called me every other day to go get parts that weren t even in stock so that took a month. the last two months the motor has been in and done they re been trying to figure out why i have issues i never had before. first they thought it was my high pressure fuel pump & sensor (nothing they even touched doing the engine and had no issues prior to them touching my car) done and wasted money that wasn t an issue. then they thought it was my cam gears (which were new from the person who rebuilt the new motor) done and wasted money more money that wasn t an issue. its one thing after another and now they think my turbo is bad, which was carried over from my old engine and never had an issue and the shop foreman Eric told me he had a bolt stuck in my turbo, which is on recording they have NO clue what they are doing here and once you confront the owner Steve, he will get very salty very fast. i d do yourself a favor and find mechanics who know what they are doing!!!

I was told diagnostic test battery was low 4volts, I agreed, the battery was replaced. The next day same problem occurred, truck cut off, I couldn t return due to heavy rain and approaching Thanksgiving Holiday. I called Steve Monday after the holiday whom said it sounds like an intermittent problem that they didn t want to waist time to find. I was pleasant while speaking to him via of phone but he left me to believe my service was not wanted. I don t understand why was there a problem to further check. I was in of there within an hour with the battery replacement. His tone via of phone was hostile without me being hostile. I had no problem with the service but the attitude was nasty

IVE KNOWN STEVE AT WALTZ AUTO SINCE 1986. LAST MARCH HE PUT IN A NEW REBUILT TRANSMISSION AND IN DECEMBER HE HAD TO PUT IN A NEW REBUILT ENGINE. BOTH WERE EXPENSIVE. I JUST NOW HAD A FUEL PUMP PUT IN AND A GROUND WIRE UNDER THE TRUCK REPAIRED THAT ONE WAS $852.00 AS OF NOW I CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER TRUCK REPAIR, HOWEVER AFTER HE FIXES MY TRUCK IT SEEMINGLY WORKS WELL. MY TRUCK IS A 01 DODGE RAM 1500 2 WHEEL DR. 5.2 318 MOTOR. THE TRUCK IS PRACTICALLY REBUILT.THEY DO GOOD WORK AT WALTZ AUTO. ON MY TRANSMISSION IN ORANGE CITY DAVID JOHNSON'S GARAGE WANTED $5,000 FOR A NEW REBUILT TRANSMISSION. STEVE AT WALTZ AUTO TOLD ME THAT MY TRANSMISSION IS ONLY $2,500 NOT FIVE THOUSAND. HE SENT HIS TOW TRUCK FROM DAYTONA BEACH AND HAD IT TOWED TO HIS GARAGE IN DAYTONA I WAS IN THE TOW TRUCK TOO. IT TOOK ALMOST TWO MONTHS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION SO I STAYED AT A FRIENDS HOUSE AS I DO WHILE USING MY TRUCK TO WORK IN DAYTONA AND ORMOND BEACH. WALTZ SAVED MY OVER $2,000 ON MY NEW REBUILT TRANSMISSION INCLUDING THE $175.00 TOW FROM DAVID JOHNSON'S GARAGE ORANGE CITY TO DAYTONA BEACH WALTZ AUTO WHERE I HAD STEVE PUT IN THE NEW REBUILT TRANSMISSION A YEAR AGO 2023. "AUTO REPAIRS ARE EXPENSIVE I KNOW BUT IT COULD BE MUCH WORSE. MY TRUCK IS VERY OLD AND HAS ALOT OF ORIGINAL PARTS IAM SURE. AT LEAST AT WALTZ AUTO MY TRUCK DOES GET REPAIRED AND THE WORK IS SATISFACTORY.THANKS AGAIN; STEVE AT WALTZ AUTO.................

I took my car here to get it worked on I paid over two thousand dollars and when I got my car back it was other things wrong with it that wasn't when I dropped it off and then when I took my car back they wanted more money to fix something happened while it was there and when I refused he didn't want to fix my car this is the last place I would ever recommend they will take your money and leave your car worst than when you dropped it off

Took it for a diagnostic they diagnosed within a hr saying I needed a new transmission! Had my car for a week the day I called to check on it said it should be done by end of day but called me 1-2 hrs later telling me I needed $900 more worth of work to replace a radiator! Called me then a day later to tell me my car was ready when my bf went to pick it up all of sudden my ac doesn t work! They fixed the problem saying it was their fault but when my bf went to pick it up again oh it was never working that good ! I thought they did honest work but I guess over the years whoever took that place over is becoming a scam artist! After my experience and $5000 later I won t refer/recommend anyone!

The front desk guy, Steve was very rude. Kept on asking me to come back again and again. Very nasty person. I doubt if the previous reviews are based on truth.. Would not recommend.

Getting stuck on 95 3 hours from home after transmission went out is no fun but Steve and Walt s Transmission shop were a Godsend! They gave us a fair price and explanation of the issues, fixed the transmission thoroughly and in my opinion went above and beyond including helping us get the car towed back home (3 hours!) my car is running great! They instilled trust with a fair price and excellent work! Thanks you! We will be using them again!Service: Transmission

My partner Vincent suggested this mechanic to me a few years ago, and I just wanted to come on here and say:Any time I have ever had a big job done here-- they have FAR from just exceeded my expectations & have also been wonderful to work with!I WILL be using this place as my permanent mechanic from here on out!As a woman, I have always been forced to jump from place to place, getting ripped off many times along the way, because of it... I'm sure you ladies out there reading this know exactly what I mean-- but you can DEFINITELY TRUST Walt's! Thanks for your help today Steve!

Dropped car off for a new engine and other work to be done. Got vehicle back running worse than dropped off and owner WILL NOT provide information or a physical receipt on where the new engine was purchased. I was greeted with an attitude and threats. The shop should not be in business with the quality or work and customer service provided

So during Jeep Beach April 2021. My Jeep acted up on me when I arrived. Being hundreds of miles away from home I searched for a shop. Took it here and they were awesome to help me out being as busy as they were and just showing up out of the blue. They fit time in to help me and check over the Jeep to find the problem. They repaired a few things that were wrong and told me there is a issue with the rear end. Due to being a Friday and I had no other transportation, i rode it out. But I really want to thank them for the time, getting my jeep in to check over it and really helping me when I needed it the most so I could get back home. Great people. They know what they are doing. Good value for service done.They not trying to rip anybody off.

My daughter and her friends were on spring break and had car trouble. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They fixed the car in a hurry and the price was very reasonable. They really could have ripped them off. Thanks for taking care of them!

This is where I always take my car. They do good work, their prices are fair, and they always figure out what's wrong.If a mechanic can't diagnose the problem, you can spend a fortune replacing the wrong parts. I don't worry about that with these guys. I highly recommend them.

Excellent service and very friendly staff! We had an issue with the coils on our car and since we were just visiting the area they got us in and out quickly and were able to fix the problem so we could get back to our vacation. Great prices and very thorough with explaining the issue and how they were fixing it. The entire team was amazing. Thank you for your help!

A friend recommended Walt's when I needed work done. First guy I spoke to was Steve. Turns out he's the manager. I told him my problem, he calculated the time and gave me a solid estimate. As fate would have it, the job snowballed due to rough vehicle condition. They had to spend more than triple the time estimated to do the job. When they finished, I was expecting a big number, But I was charged the original estimate. No sob stories, no excuses.From now on, this IS my 'Go-to' shop.Great job guys...Thank you.

I was a 18 year old with a 1987 turbo Buick that was Steve's at one time. Well after I bought it from someone else my transmission went out. Everybody told me to take to Walt's transmissions. I really thought was a great idea since he used to own the car. He took one look at his old Buick that he lost years ago. Wanted it back so bad. So the head games start. After rebuilding my transmission 3 times and never getting it Right. Telling me you should just sell this car it's just cursed. Well let's just say after two months he could see my frustration building. So i end up selling him what was my dream car. The very next weekend he was driving it with no problems. To make matters worse he turned me on to his friends T-typel that had a rock knock. And told me I'm a mechanic, trust me is just a little bit of Cam button noise. I'm now 40 years old. I just want him to admit what he did was wrong.

I am 48 years old, and first used Walt's when I was 18. They had a golden opportunity to take a dumb, stranded teenager for a costly ride, but instead charged me only $7.00 to repair a vacuum hose to my transmission. I have kept going back since then because of their professionalism and honesty. Now, I am in the US Army and stationed in Georgia, but I drive 3 1/2 hours to Daytona Beach just to get my vehicles worked on by the crew at Walt's Automotive. They are seriously the best!

They redid the clutch on my 350Z and redid the valve seals in my '84 Chevy C10 they did it promptly had it done when they said they would and charged me what they said they would. I did not have to take my truck back or my car back to have them redo work in my book that says a lot.
