I recently moved to the neighborhood and I stumbled upon this shop and they were so sweet. I showed up too late in the afternoon for an oil change (this isn't your drive through Jiffy Lube situation) so they allowed me to come in the next day with an appointment and finished on-time as promised. They made sure they did some quality checks before I drove off after a full check of the car + oil change. I often go for the quick spots but I realized that my car does need a little TLC and it's comforting to know my car was checked fully by the team and I will definitely be back to get my car checked and get an oil change. Thanks for making the process simple and easy. I think you can also book online just so everyone doesn't think they'd have to show up to get an appointment or call.

To Walt’s: Thank you SO SO much for taking care of my needs in such short notice and getting it done that day (in a few hours). I want to thank your employees as well. After the recommendations from the dealer on what was needed, you were professional & helpful to tell me what the possible costs would be over the phone b4 seeing my car. Once I brought my car into the shop for a true inspection by your mechanic, you were honest to tell me what I really needed, the costs and what was not needed. SAVING ME $1200+. A huge Thank you!!! You've made me a return customer "FOR SURE!" Thank you again for trusted and great service! 👍👍

I have been coming here for years since it was Lions automotive. I am so happy that Victor was able to pass his company off to such amazing people who still provide exceptional service. My wife and I just took our cars in for service and my wife stated “I love that place, it really feels homely and personal unlike a dealership where I just feel like a number”. Great work and we are customers for life.

I had a great experience with Waltz. I had a very difficult problem to find and fix with my car and a number of other issues I needed repaired. The cost was fair and honest. Paul is excellent to work with. Highly recommend.

This is absolutely my new go-to! After being burned by my previous auto shop, I was recommended Walt’s and I am so happy I found these guys! Honest, great communication, and is really looking out for the customer. I have been going to Walt’s for over a year now and will not go anywhere else! Simply the best!

Walt's is the best! They did a great job diagnosing and repairing my tricky climate control system problems, took great car of my baby while they had it and charged me a very fair price. Paul, the service manager is great to work with - very outgoing and patient. I am so glad I brought my car to Wlat's and highly recommend them!

We've been coming to Walt's Auto for over 25 years and remain loyal customers. Paul and his entire team have provided us with excellent, friendly service that has kept our aging vehicles in good working order for longer than we expected. They've continually made themselves available on short notice when things go wrong. If you're looking for a group of accomplished, caring mechanics - look no further!

The pictures and videos posted are a result of what happens when you put your faith in a shop and they underperform. I brought my vehicle in to Walt’s two times. Both times stating I believe the heater core is leaking. Both times I was assured it was not. Im not a mechanic, I placed my faith in Walt’s auto shop seeing as they must know more about cars than me. They were wrong every time. Now my vehicle is overheating, losing coolant, fog coming through the vents, and soaked floorboards. They didn’t address any issue. Had they have thoroughly checked the vehicle the first two times the issue wouldn’t have grown to what it is now.
