W. E. Harding Co in San Jose

Walt is an old school German automotive enthusiast. His team knows their stuff.

So grateful for Walter and his amazing auto technicians! I’ve brought my Subaru Outback there for years and the regular maintenance services were done quickly- with no weird added charges like I’d experienced at the dealership. The few issues I’ve had with my car were dealt with also quickly. But they go above and beyond. When I had a time crunch and really needed a car, they offered a loaner car which was just incredible. Who does that anymore? Also, Walter is an interesting fellow, always nice to see him and his parrot he often has on his shoulder. Can’t imagine bringing my car anywhere else.

I originally came here for 2 gallons of Redline D6 ATF. No other places were selling the gallons. Other places were charging to much for quarts. I spoke to Walter, the owner who took me in the same day when another mechanic flaked on me. I did had to pay more since my 2014 Ford Fusion transmission fluid change is a little more of a process. Alex and the other staff were honest, nice and friendly and they helped me with informing me of other issues that I had.

The team at Harding Co. is extremely skilled and easy to get along with. I can always trust their analysis of my car problems. They are always ready to take on numerous tasks. Walter's leadership of the team is terrific. I trust them to solve my car problems. Malcolm Thompson

I can only say , the job was well done. The car runs beautiful. I took in for a smog. I came out with a car running better than ever. This allowed me the full confidence in driving my car.

Professional and trustworthy! You feel confident that your car is in good hands. very warm and welcoming atmosphere with a friendly owner and mechanics. If you are looking for a trustworthy, reliable and honest mechanic, just grab the phone, give them a call and from your very first conversation, you'd realize why you should give them a try and bring your car here rather than corporate, rushed, human-less dealer. I genuinely enjoyed the conversation with the owner and how well versed he is in helping his customers. I highly recommend them.

Most honest and genuinely concerned about people and their safety business I have ever met! Walter and his team are sincere, incredibly knowledgeable and detail oriented and will treat you with the highest respect and professionalism. Walter has maintained all my vehicles for over 40 years and I take my new car to him instead of the dealer for premium quality care. I highly recommend W.E. Harding and Associates for your automotive needs. You will not be disappointed.

This place came highly recommended to me, and that recommendation was very well deserved. Walter fit me in on a busy Friday, for a transmission fluid/filter change & brake job, and had my car ready by the end of the day, as promised. During the repairs, he kept me updated on the progress and other issues they found. His extensive knowledge of German cars is impressive (he has been in business since 1965), and I greatly appreciated his honesty and fair pricing. I'm very happy with the work that his shop performed on my BMW, and highly recommend his repair services.👍
