I had hit a dog with my car and did some significant damage to the front end. Call them they were very helpful. Willing to get me in soon. Worked with the insurance and got the Bodywork on the car finished. The car looked really good but when I started taking a closer look, they had buried my block heater for the diesel Engine. I went out and showed them. There was nothing they could do At that point in the evening so I took the car home and they were going to come get it in the morning. They did as they said they were going to. They showed up and took the car back to the shop got it fixed and brought it home. when the car got back home, I noticed a leak. I didn t think too much of it at first, because I do live on gravel and it was raining. Less than a week later all of the fluid dumped out of my clutch. I called them back. They were willing to look at it but did not work on mechanical stuff so they wanted to send it to another shop. They did not give me the opportunity to choose the shop. First they sent it to was Volkswagen of Topeka which were nothing but a pain didn t wanna On the car. I called Topeka transmission. He told me there was no way to tell if it did or didn t happen, but insurance should cover it since it happened at the same time. While talking with Topeka transmission my insurance and Walt s nobody had the same answers. Walt s would not call the insurance anymore. I had to get the car towed out of pocket even though insurance told me that they need to get this set up. My Insurance was getting upset with me because I kept having to call them. Long story Somewhat short, Walt s told the Insurance the car was not leaking there even though when I got the car home it was. Now, since they have talked to insurance, insurance is not willing to pay for the mechanical work. They were not honest on the phone they had my car for Two months to only find out it is not getting covered. As you can see in the picture, here is the fluid that leaked out of my car. If you only need bodywork, they did a good job. If you need any help after they re done good luck

Recently needed body work repaired on my vehicle and had an excellent experience with Walt s Carstar, I always like to share when it s deserved.The office girls were wonderful, very kind and patient, and worked with me through the whole process. I was updated every few days with the progress of work (which I loved!). The work was completed on time and my vehicle looks better than it did before, like it was rolled off the manufacturer lot. Very impressed with the quality of their service as a business in whole. Definitely check them out if you re in need of body work!

Had an appointment to get body work done, and had some additional damage underneath the car. Ended up in the shop for longer than anticipated due to additional damages. Lance and his team kept me informed on a daily basis since I was minus a vehicle. Car is fixed and looks great.

These guys know what they are doing! They took really good care of me and had my car in and out of the shop in 3 days. They even gave me a free car wash!

After and before pics of the car I took to Walt's . (The one with the scrapes and small crack is how i took it to them) They had it for almost a month and I got it back in worse condition than when I took it in. They then charged my insurance to "make it right" without me knowing. I won't be going back!!!

Friendly Staff. My Vehicle looks good! Detailed nicely.The one tip I could offer is to have better communication between the shop and the front desk. We live an hour out of Topeka and were called to pick up our vehicle. When we arrived it was not complete. This happened twice. This added unnecessary travel expense and time.Services: Painting, Body & Trim

Walt's did an absolutely wonderful job with every aspect in the process of repairing my truck after my accident. They were proactive in maintaining contact with me, my insurance, and Enterprise.They let me know what was going on every step of the way. And even when unexpected repair delays caused my rental policy limit with Enterprise to run out, they covered the couple days of out-of-pocket rental expenses.I would recommend (and have already recommended) them to friends of mine.

I had the unfortunate luck of having both my vehicles visit the shop. Both my vehicles were involved in accidents. Our Jeep had front-end damage from hitting a pole after, it snowed. Our truck was hit while parked and sustained damage to the driver-side tire and suspension. When we called the shop, they were quick to ask if we need a tow truck. Do we need a ride? The staff is kind and very informative about everything that was going on. Great shop, and staff!!!Services: Steering & suspension repair, Body & Trim

From the moment you talk to someone to the moment you pick up your keys the experience with Walt s is the best. I told them I wish they were the kind of company I could do business with everyday. It obviously vehicle accidents are not on my agenda. Great company!!Service: Body & TrimService: Body & Trim

Walt s Carstar did a fantastic job on my Jeep Grand Cherokee after I hit a Deer. It took a little longer than I expected, but they were very thoughtful in calling to provide updates. I was also very happy to find my car washed and detailed on the inside when I picked up my car! I will definitely use Walt s again!Services: Painting, Body & TrimServices: Painting, Body & Trim

Ok they repair the hood and not fix the hood. Then put a clear coat over the white hood so the holes that was not there before got magnified. My mistake for not checking the work before leaving the parking lot. I forgot this is topeka. I remember years ago I had a Honda fit repair done here and it was great job. Every thing was even out.

Unfortunately I have had to bring my cars in for repair several times. Fortunately, each time the work has been outstanding. The entire experience, from getting an estimate, to getting a rental and ending with picking my car up, was worry free. They take care of everything!! The people are always friendly and professional. I wouldn t take my car any place else for repairs.Service: Body & Trim

This was my first experience with an Insurance Claim and Walt's made it painless and efficient. They were professional, caring, and responsive throughout the entire process. The body work is immaculate and the people were even better! 5 stars from the top down.Services: Painting, Body & TrimServices: Painting, Body & Trim

This is second time I've had to use Walt's in the past year. I guess people like hitting my truck.The work they do is great. Service is above expectations. They also do what is needed in a very timely manner.If I have a choice in the future, they will absolutely be the body shop I choose.Thanks Again,Ron C.Topeka, KSServices: Painting, Body & Trim

Walt s did a wonderful job on repairing a door ding and the transaction with the other insured s insurance was seamless! Walt s kept me informed during the 3-day process and went above and beyond in detailing my vehicle after the job was done. My Murano was spotless! Super friendly staff. I will DEFINITELY use them again!!

I m sorry to say after having Walt s do auto body for our entire family we are looking elsewhere. After having our vehicle for weeks we got it back only to have to take it back in because the front end was not completely attached. We were disappointed in them for having to take it back and it still not be properly attached. They were super nice about it, and the gals at the front desk are friendly. But the workmanship has declined.

Walt's repaired a dent in my car door from someone backing into it. It was absolutely no hassle and they delt with the other parties insurance company for payment. Made it really easy for me. They also cleaned my car before giving it back to me!

We had to use Walt's after we were hit by another driver due to their insurance company requirements. I was sceptical of the service we would receive as it was not a body shop that we heard a lot about. We were surprised. The shop was clean. The staff was polite and helpful. They had Enterprise Rental there and we drove away in our rental. The repairs took 4 days and they found something that broke that we didn't notice. They went ahead and fixed it for us. We will definitely use them again if life forces us into a similar situation in the future.
