Fast, friendly, knowledgeable and HONEST! My older truck failed smog at a cheap test only place. I took the truck to Wally, fearing the worst. After an hour with my truck, it passed! He didn't even need to fix anything (I only had to pay the smog test fee). The age of my truck required someone with knowledge to give it a smog test, instead of just going through the motions. More than anything, I deeply appreciate the integrity and honest practice he runs. This could have been a very expensive day! I know where I am going to take all of my cars. Thanks again Wally!

If you are looking for an honest no nonsense mechanic, your search ends here. Wally provides quality service at reasonable cost. You won't have to worry about Wally selling you services you don't need. He will tell you what is wrong and provide you options. I might add that Wally is the only Blue Shield mechanic in the area. What that means is the State of California has certified Wally to smog and make any necessary repairs. Most smog places are test only. It is not easy to get the Blue Shield. I don't know about you but I'm willing to pay a little more for work I know need to be made then pay less and be taken for making unnecessary repairs. You won't have that concern here.

Great experience - seriously one of the most pleasant auto-repair experiences i've had. Walt is so kind and very honest. He'll tell you up front he's not the cheapest on stuff like smog but i think relatively competitive pricing on major service. So funny- we felt so relaxed while waiting for the car and my husband and i realized Walt had Disney music playing in the shop...Walt said "Hey, it's better than that music with all of the cursing" TRUE! ...and suddenly we have a hankering to ride It's a Small World. Just one of the many reasons it was such a pleasant experience :) We'll be coming back for years to come. Thanks, Walt!

Had yet another car malfunction. They found the problem, came up with a better solution, explained it thoroughly, and were so communicative about the time to pick up the car. They actually finished early and called us because they knew we needed the car. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Period.

I've used the shop twice now, both with good results. the First time one of my cars would not pass smog and for some reason I was given the opportunity by the State to take it to a certified smog repairer with credit from the state for doing so. Walt's was on the list, this is how I found him. When I called back later, he told me that he re-tested the car and it passed. No charge! Second time I took an old car (45+ years) in for what appeared to be a wheel bearing in the back. Turned out to be much more involved and the differential had to be rebuilt. They found the parts for the old car, did the work and returned all of the old bearings that were clearly bad. And while he had the car in the air he noticed that one of the suspension parts in the rear was mis-aligned. They took that part off, re-pressed in the bushing that wasn't in properly and put it back on at no charge. As someone who does most of the work on his cars himself, I know when my mechanic is on the up-and-up. No hesitation in giving these guys a great recommendation.

No one loves taking their car to the shop for a repair. But, every once in a while something happens that you need to see a mechanic. You can't help but feel that Wally is like a good friend that is taking care of your car. Then after you leave, you feel like you didn't get taken advantage of and the service provided was fair. This was my second experience having him work on my car. I am glad that I don't have to see him that often but when I do, I know I am in good, honest hands.

Walt did a great job. Many small repairs done at no charge. Fast and fair. Thanks Wally.

I've been taking my SUV to Walt's for about 5 years now. Wally and his staff have always been helpful and professional. When my car didn't pass the most recent smog test, Wally was able to find a way to save me a TON of money! I've been to many mechanics over the years, but Wally's is one of the best! I highly recommend taking your car to Walt's!

Honesty. Integrity. They've saved me a few thousand after the dealer told me without an immediate $2500 intervention my car would never run again. Wally fixed it for less and found the real problem. They replaced my auto window and it broke 10 months later. The replaced it no charge and no questions. They might be more expensive, perhaps, but you really do get what you pay for. It's so hard to find a great mechanic-this is it.

Wally not only got my old car smogged, but he also gave me a discount (because of my financial situation) that really helped me a lot, at a very difficult time. I also enjoyed talking with him at length on several occasions. Thanks Wally!
