I took my car to Walts and they told me I needed to replace the transmission which costs around $5000. So when they started to work on it they discovered that was not the problem. The problem was that squirrels had been storing peanuts inside the hood of the car, It was a lot. Looked like they had been doing it for quite some time. So the Mechanics cleaned it up and the cost was only $140.00. A nice surprise for me. I have to respect their honesty and am very pleased with their work. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs car repairs. All the guys working there are honest and friendly.

Update to oil change service. It is now easy to get right in for service with all the same great care. They even patched my slow leaking tire one afternoon without a charge. Thank you! Great service (oil change) and reasonably priced. They are independently owned. Don't go last minute though, advise to make an appt well in advance. I waited 3weeks for mine.

We are new in the area, so asked a coworker for a recommendation on where to take our older MINI Cooper to. Walt's diagnosed the problem (a cracked coolant reservoir) and had it back to us within 2 days, even though we took it to them the night before Thanksgiving. They didn't invent any other problems (nice!) and were easy to work with. It is a relief to find a place to take our vehicles to that we can trust in our new home.
