Over a month ago, my car died while I was at a stop sign. I called Walt's to see if I could have it towed there and he said he would look at it. It sat on his lot for a month. Last Friday I went to the shop to get my keys so I could tow it to a different repair shop. When I went inside, Walt told me it was possibly a "glitch" due to the cold. He moved my car forward and back 20 feet with no issues. No one ever called to tell me that. No one ever updated me on anything unless I called. Then I was told they hadn't had time to look at it.I took my car to another repair shop and two work days later have an answer. The throttle body needs replaced. A month is a long time to go without a vehicle or an answer as to what's wrong. I have been a customer for a few years for routine oil changes and tire rotations. I've referred people to Walt's. I won't be going back. Very disappointed.

Crook, put on defective parts & wouldn't make it right. Rewired the heater blower in my truck & it stoped working a couple days later. Charged way to much for the Mickey Mouse work he did! Took it to Danes Automotive & they fixed it right for a fraction of what Walt charged.

I can t think of anything more difficult than finding a good barber and a trustworthy mechanic when you move to a new area. Walt will be my go-to guy for all things automotive from here on out. He truly has the customer s best interest at heart and is every bit reliable and honest. Walt, you re a good man and a rare find these days. It may have only been two jobs, but you did right by me both times I ve been to you and for a fair price. I m sure I ll see you again in the future, as you ve earned my business.

Excellent customer service! I called late in the workday but they told me it was fine to bring my car in anyway. Walt quickly figured out what was wrong with my air conditioning and had it fixed by the following afternoon. Trustworthy and friendly people! Will continue to bring my car to Walt's Garage and would recommend their services to anyone.

Walt has always been there for me. They have provided us with excellent service. I took my vehicle in one time and they thought my issue may be a recall that could be fixed at no cost to me. They did the leg work for me and yes it was a recall I was unaware of. They could have fixed it and charged me but NO they are very honest people. They are very friendly and reliable. I trust them and would highly recommend them!!

I was a long way from home visiting my daughter and was due to leave in 2 days. My check engine light appeared and I was nervous to leave for a 10 HR drive. I called Walt's Garage and explained the situation. They had me in the next morning. They were very caring and kind. Diagnostics showed a minor problem with the oxygen sensors. They reset after a few starts and I was on my way. Walt gave me a handshake and wished me well on my drive home. I recommend him and his garage to EVERYONE!!! YOU CANNOT GO WRONG WITH WALT'S...

I made an appointment for car repairs then drove to the wrong address. That's how I discovered Walt's Garage - and it turned out to be a blessing in disguise! Walt is a knowledgeable mechanic and his prices are fair. As an older woman with minimized income, what I appreciate most about Walt is that I can trust him to be straight with me, he won't try to sell me services or parts I don't need. I recommend this friendly and fair business wholeheartedly. Finding a good mechanic, and one you can trust, puts your mind at ease.

I've been taking my vehicles to Walt since I moved to the area. They have treated me like family since day one. Walt knows his stuff and always amazes me with his level of knowledge no matter what my car's problem is. Beside ability (because they have to actually be able to fix the problem) honesty and trust are at the top of my priority and I trust Walt and his crew implicitly! I will never go anywhere else and you shouldnt either!

They fix what is wrong with your car. If they find any other problems, they let you know but there is no push to get you to add more work. Quality work at a fair price. Thanks

I dropped my vehicle off first thing in the morning and was greeted graciously by the staff. Went back after inspection and was shown the problem and discussed what needed done to fix the issue. Walt took his time with me talking about it and answering my questions. My vehicle was fixed quickly...price very affordable and again staff was awesome. I enjoyed the experience and will definitely go back to them in the future. Thank you all at Walts Garage

I wouldn't trust my car anywhere else! Great,knowledgeable people, and great prices. After receiving work on my car before a 12 hr there, 12 back road trip, Walt gave me his personal number, told me to call day or night if I had any trouble...no other mechanic I've met had ever been so kind.also makes it VERY easy with helping transport myself and my children to and from in my own car while getting work done!!

Super professional, Walt was so nice and polite, he even brought me the parts he replaced and told me why they didn't function properly. I will most definitely be a returning client.

Have been going to Walt and Samantha a long time.They have been good to me and my family.So long, I had hair when they started helping us.I have sent other people there and they call me and say thanks.Because their kids had car problems and could not get hold of them.They called walt and he helped them. You can't say any more. Samantha is great to talk to and is alway's in a great mood.

It's good to find an auto mechanic that you like and Trust. I have bought cars from dealers and taken them to the dealers for service, only to be told to service with x amount of money I agreed to it they said they did the work I paid for it and years later you find out you spent thousands of dollars for work that was never done.
