This place is a scam! Turn back and run. ive seriously question the work they say they've done. My car is exactly how it was when brought my car in. Also diagnostic test anywhere else is 130$, here they charge $150.

Great people to do business with, their parts markups are higher than expected. Repair costs slightly higher than other shops in the area. they offer 3 year or 36,000 mile warranty on parts and labor. Customer satisfaction is their number one priority, don't forget to ask for your AAA discount. Services: Auto water leak repair, Engine repair

Report
Had my Acura repaired with a new timing belt and water pump. called on the 3rd day no reply on how long it will take. took 4 days to complete. drove home and notice a rubbing noise. found the power steering reservoir was off the bracket and rubbing on the serpentine belt. also found a 8 inch ratchet sitting on the radiator cooling fan housing. I looked and the coolant reservoir was below the min. mark. my car idle rough now. was smooth before they worked on it. They must have new not trained technicians who don't car about there work. Walt's auto is not what it use to be. I will not be servicing my 3 cars there anymore.
