Walt was my hero on a busy Friday Fourth of July weekend right before my vacation.My 2006 Honda Civic broke down at a stop light. While waiting for AAA I called my usual shop to let them know I was coming. They were over booked for a week, and would not let my keep my broken down car at their shop. I was worried. Were all shops going to be like this! It's a Fourth of July weekend, I'm doomed! I had to do a quick search for some place affordable and nearby. Thanks to Google and Yelp searches Walt's kept popping so I took a leap of faith. Margaret answered the phone and gladly said they could see me and take in my car. Needless to say I was pretty stressed out when I was met with a smiling face and a bubbly water. It was a bigger job than expected. A tension pivot bolt had broken in half and was stuck in my engine block, which caused the belt to slip off into my water pump. It would need to be drilled out. It was a matter of if they could do it I'd have my car back, if they couldn't I'd have a very large paperweight. Walt was up for the task and kept it very realistic of all the possibilities that could happen. Nothing sugar coated which I very much appreciated since it allowed me to make a sound choice on what to do next. They took their time, kept in contact with me on every issue they encountered, and all was a success. Excellent customer service, and bonus, I got a key chain. Walt definitely has a new continuing customer. So glad I found his shop.

My trusty 2008 Saturn Vue suddenly broke down on me so I brought it into walts. He could not find the problem for a while, I had to be patient, but he worked really hard getting my car running again. He knew that money was an issue so he tried to do what he could to minimize the number of hours. It was to the point where I was going to have to scrap it and lose my small blue book of 4,000 but he actually got it running perfectly and I was able to sell it for $3,700. Good job walt!

Very honest and professional mechanic. Months ago, my air conditioning needed fixing and one particular auto shop I'd been going to for a while, overcharged me for a diagnosis . My parents and I discovered Walt's, and he fixed my air conditioning excellently without a hitch, and I am so happy to report that months later, my car's AC is running beautifully!! Thanks so much, Walt! He really knows what he is doing. I truly recommend this place to you because he does quality, timely work, and goes above and beyond.

I brought in my car earlier this year (early spring), and now that it's late summer, I'm sure glad I did! My AC was barely putting out any cool air, but Walt was dogged about getting it cold again! He was very thorough in his review and got it filled up. I'm now enjoying drives in the 95-100 degree heat. Thanks Walt -- I'll definitely be back if I need your help again!

I wish I had found Walt's years ago for all my vehicle maintenance. He's thorough in his evaluation of the issue, keeps you informed, and recommends what he would do and why. Although my AC repair cost me more than originally expected, I am unlikely to have further issues because of not doing the whole job along with the initial repair needing to be done again at even more cost.

After suggestions from my Parents, I have taken both of my cars to Walt's. Knowing very little about cars, I trust that he will provide great service as well as knowledgeable advice. It is great talking whenever I get to go in.

My wife's trucks air conditioning went out. I took it in and in one day he had it fixed, up and running. They are friendly, reliable and above all... honest. When we got there to pick our truck up, Walt was out cleaning the windshield and windows on our truck because they got a little dirty while he had been working on it. Walt also helped me with some other issues that I could fix myself rather than he doing the work and charging me for it. Walt is down to earth and speaks to his customers on a level that is easily understood. The repair prices are very reasonable and fair. If you need work on your vehicle....this is the place to take it....I am impressed....thanks again...

Highly recommend this shop. Walt and Margaret were delightful. Highly communicative on what needed to be done and what it would cost. There's a reason shops like theirs have been around for decades.

Walt is a true master with air conditioning and mechanic. He saved me lots of money and was determined to find a solution. I recently moved back to San Jose and very pleased with the service I received. I'm so happy to call him my new mechanic.

Easily the best, most honest mechanic I've ever been to (And I'm pretty old...). Super detail oriented, up front and supportive, offering options within a budget. Walt is great, and funny. I trust all my personal and company vehicles to him because it's a no BS kind of deal. Not cheap, but when I'm flying down the freeway, I want things to work. If that's what you're looking for, Walt's delivers.

Just had the A/C fixed on my 2000 Ford Mustang by Walt. Great service, fair price and Walt is super nice and honest. Dropped off the car Friday after 2PM, picked it up Saturday by noon. My car's A/C is back on after 9 years. Thank you Walt!
