I needed some minor body repair work done to my car. Larry Z was phenomenal. Kind, professional, accommodating. Communication through the entire process was spot on. I showed up today to a repaired car that looked better and is a LOT cleaner than what was left with them last week. They even provided me with a zippy, cute Honda Civic as a loaner for the week. I highly recommend Walt’s for all of your automotive needs.
Replaced my carbon canister. They gave great service. The guys were very nice, and gave me a very fair price! I highly recommend them. Thank you Claude and all the staff!!
Excellent Job! I brought in a tire that I needed mounted and balanced, and I also needed to replace all my lug-nuts on custom wheels. The technician took EXTRA care by using electrical tape around the lug-nut socket in order to ensure that he/she did not damage the paint on my wheels. This is what I call professional and detailed!
What a pleasant experience right from the beginning with the Lady to took my phone call and dealing with the service manager. They took the time to listen to my needs and provided an outstanding service to us. They care about their customers.
Walts is the go-to garage for almost my entire extended family. They are without a doubt the most honest, reliable and resourceful team of automotive professionals Ive ever relied upon. They kept my drive-it-into-the-ground sedan running (and affordably) much longer than I thought was possible, and have always given me great advice about how to care for our familys two vehicles. Now that the drive-it-into-the-ground sedan has finally died, theyll be my go-to garage with the vehicle I just bought as a replacement.Give them a try -- youll be glad you did!
Excellent work on my car and great customer service! I hit a deer and the front and side panel of my car was a mess. I brought it to Walts Automotive and they gave me a loaner car until my car was finished. When they were done with my car...it looked like new again!
Service was fast, quality was excellent, and the customer service was fantastic!! I would highly recommend!
Did a great job detailing a car...would definitely return.
It’s the only place that I will take my SUV and my Kids” small, foreign cars, for any work, I have trusted them for over 20 years and they’ve always done right by me. Now we have my son’s ‘10 Audi A4 we took there for a bunch of issues, because of course it would have issues, it’s an Audi and we bought it from a private seller..I don’t think I’ll do that again unless I have them checked thoroughly first (He just got it, too, his first car) . they fixed it all today, and kept in good communication throughout the day. Some say they’re pricey, but I don’t think so, We’ve paid the same, or even more, at another shop, for my our truck and I didn’t trust that shop as I never been, so IF they do happen to be a few dollars more for the same work, the integrity and communication skills are worth every penny, and them some! I’ve also had them detail my car a long time ago, it looked brand new when I picked it up, and it was filthy. These people really care about their customers and take pride in their work. If something doesn’t need done yet, but will in the future, they don’t play games like other places, they tell you that they recommend you fix it, but down the road would be ok, or if it’s urgently needed, to fix it now. That’s my favorite part. I’m always treated with respect, like they value my business, and the girl in the office that’s been there for years is so nice, no matter how busy she is, and always listens carefully when you drop off.. thanks for the continued professionalism..and always taking care of us so well. Walts makes the experience pleasurable and worry free, and I trust my kid’s safety on the road after bad wheel bearings. What more could I ask for?
Been Bringing My Vehicles to Walts since 1991. They always fix whatever is wrong, and dont try to sell Me work I dont need. Great bunch of Mechanics, & the Office Staff are Friendly and efficient as well. Plus; both Ladies in Office are Cute too.
Dodge caliber 2008 Best service in town and reasonable price... HAPPY HOLIDAYS....
I was referred to Walts by a person I met a only once. My van had set unrepaired for months because I could not get a straight explanation on cost and payment. When I called and spoke to Claude he was honest and explained my warranty trouble and what he thought might be my problem. Then he told me what he could do for me. When I got that money together my Van was fixed and back on the road with more work done and a lot less money spent.This business will not take you for a ride it will give you your ride back
Brought my car in for these guys to do a quick oil change & inspection. I get a call that they’re having trouble getting the car started (never been an issue before) so I told them to call me back in a bit if it’s still not running.The following day, I had to have it towed to another mechanic, as they had toyed with the ignition switch and done some rewiring without my consent. Now the car won’t start, and they are asking $100 for the labor to mess it up, plus $500 to repair it. What a joke.
Great automotive shop, very professional.
The professionals at Walts have been taking care of our cars for about 10 years. There are few businesses that demonstrate the high level of customer focus, professionism, expertise, honesty and friendliness. From the person who answers the phone, to the person who cleans my car at the end of the service they function as a team whose main concern is to do an excellent job, take care of whatever our needs are in a timely manner and always at a fair price. Would highly recommend Walts to anyone.
Took my car in for the first time today and I will definitely be coming back for any and all future auto repair/servicing needs! Everyone I spoke to was extremely friendly and helpful. They did great work on my car and the price was amazing. Theyre extremely upfront and honest and will give you the absolute best price they can. I cant recommend them enough. Thank you so much to everyone at Walts. You guys are the best!
Got me right in and out!! Explained everything that was done and didnt do anything that wasnt necessary!
I recently bought a certified pre-owned vehicle from a dealership out of town, but the finish was dull and it had its share of nicks and scuffs. Larry and the team at Walts made it look like it just rolled out of a showroom. Highly recommend.
The owner takes his business seriously. I can respect that as a person who runs a business. Its good to see people take pride and ownership in their business and not the bottom line.
Fast Pace hard workers known to get the job done!
I started using Walts a couple of years ago after they were recommended by a family member. Every time I call, they always get me in that same day. Definitely great service and great people!
I am not sure why they offer an online appointment request when they have nobody following up on them. I reached out wanting to spend money on atleast 2 of their services via their online portal at 6 in the morning. I recieved an email 30 minutes before they opened stating I would recieve a call to make arrangements for help. I sat by the phone all day and never recieved a call or follow up email. Already very disappointed in their customer service considering the fact that I stated in my request that I have a vehicle that wont even start. They clearly dont want my business and dont care that I have no vehicle and was willing to give them my hard earned money to fix it. Guess im looking for a different shop. Update: I was home all day with my phone and never received a single call. Doesnt make sense. Especially if I was really needing this repair. Pass.
We came to syracuse to drop my vehicle off. My husband picked me up but on the way got a bolt in the side wall of his Tire and it of course went,flat. Walts automotive took us right in and took care,of us immediately. In my short time there I observed cleanliness courtesy and very good pricing. We are grateful to Walts. Thank you so much.
I was born into the car business and for the past 50 plus years I have been involved in Sales and Service so this review is a professional opinion as well as a personal one. Walts Auto Service is the place to go when you are worried about getting top quality work at the MOST fair price anywhere in Central New York. You CAN trust this place to fix it right and charge you fairly for their services. In this world of uncertainty surrounding Auto Repair make no mistake, Walts will treat you right.
I got a interior detailing last week and they did a great job, They took the stains on my upholsterer. Thank you so much. Great quality work.
Ok prices great services excellent professional staff
We are from Ottawa Canada and were on our way to West Virginia. We had a problem with our wheel bearings and were calling ahead to Syracuse to try to get someone to fit us in. Walts was the only place in town that agreed to take us and when we got there it was clear that they didnt do it because they were short of work. The place was packed. Surprisingly, not only did they fit us in, but they took a look at our van right away. Super impressed with how they did the testing to diagnose and confirm the problem. Everybody, from the mechanics to the desk staff, was sincerely friendly and the place was extremely service-oriented. They obviously took pride in their level of service and customer satisfaction. In the end they were able to make the repair in a little over an hour and at a very decent price. Thank you to all the folks there!I really wish I lived closer to Syracuse so I could take my car problems to Walts. As it stands, I am even considering driving the 3 and a half hours when I have a major car repair just so that I can go to a place that I can trust and that provides that level of service. If you live close to Syracuse you probably already know of this place, but if you dont, I obviously highly recommend it.PS The BBQ place (Dino BBQ) across the street is a fantastic place to wait for your car to be fixed as well! Given the great service at Walts and the great food at Dinos we felt we had the best possible outcome of a bad situation!
We were on a 3 hour drive, stopped in the middle for lunch in Syracuse, and the car wouldnt start again after. We walked the block over to Walts and they sent someone out with us to jump our car. While we waited (not long at all) they were nice and helpful. If Im ever back in the area, I would not hesitate to get work done here. Thanks!
Not much to say about Walts but what I do have to say is positive. Got my inspection done here. Called to check availability and they made time for me that very day. Service was quick and staff members were courteous. I got my inspection done at a fair price and didnt have to wait around all day to have it done. No complaints here! Id go back for other car services if I needed them.
Excellent friendly service! Took my car in immediately after my accident. Offered me a rental car on the spot. 100% recommend!!!
I cannot recommend this shop highly enough! I first came here for last years inspection because it was close to work and unfortunately have had a string of car issues since (no fault of theirs - brakes, routine maintenance, multiple screws in my tires -_-). They always get my car done on time, with or without appt, at a fair price, and most importantly as a young woman talking about cars, treat me with respect. Getting work done on my car has never been so convenient!
Great shop with professionals, who are honest and fix/maintain your vehicle correctly. I highly recommend this mechanic shop, you cant go wrong with these guys!
I cannot say enough good things about the service and quality I expereinced at Walts auto. They were told me it would be 10 days, and it was 6. When I picked my car up, It was immaculate inside and out, even though I only got it repaired. The work they did was impeciable. They loaner vehicle I got was great! I would reccomend Walts to everyone, and anyone. I will never even think about bringing my vehicle anywhere else. Thank you to Larry & CJ and the entire staff at Walts. - Mike Williams AKA Spills
From Canada, was visiting Syracuse, had some smoke coming from the hood of my car. Went first thing at 8 am on a Monday morning when they opened. Not only did they see the car within 15 minutes, they checked it, and said it was a minor issue and didn’t even charge us a penny! Excellent, fast, and courteous service. Thank you!
Great service but charging more for labor.
Awesome place good customer care reasonably priced, all and all great place
Family owned mechanic shop, one of the best body shops in CNY and able to handle classic and foreign car problems.
They are quite professional. You can tell its ran as if they are running a real business with a name they are trying to uphold. However, I had an issue with my car, that they didnt figure out and I ended up paying hundreds to them with no resolved issue. But, I took my car to the dealership, and they got the issue resolved. So Walts did loose points for that. Its more like a 3.5 instead of a 4.
Its always been a great experience taking my car for any type of work at Walts. Im mostly there for oil changes and little issues here and there but theyre professional and thorough with each job. Sometimes they will even leave notes on my bill/invoice if they noticed something is going wrong or a part is wearing down and will give estimates in advance. Its good, honest work and I recommend them to everyone.
Good service, professional but pricey. They quoted me 1 full hour for rear sway bar end link replacement. Very expensive for loosing and fastening couple very easy-accessed nuts. On the other hand, we communicated well and they were able to answer my every question and concerns. I felt like I’m treated well and professionally.
A great place to take your vehicle. Staff is amazing, helpful, and so nice. They truly work hard for their customers and really care about the work they do. Highly recommend them.
Fast promt and honest safety work is what grabs my attention everytime !
They are absolutely the best. They dont try to talk you into doing work that doesnt need to be done. They get it right the first time. They sometimes give you little breaks on the bill when you are a repeat customer. The guys and girls are friendly and helpful. I wouldnt go anywhere else. The best in town, by far.
Had an issue with our car n Walts shop was able to help find out what was wrong n take care of it in a timely fashion....
Good overall. The prices are high. Someone talks to you about your car and they have a tow service which helped me since I was in a bind. Good quality work though
I went and talked to Nick one of the owners to see if I can do my job shadow there and he welcomed me with respect and professionalism and after I did my internship he hired me very good people and environment to work always happy to go to work at Walt’s.
Walts delivers great service at a fair price. Dave is great to work with and always gets the job done right. I highly recommend this company.
My entire family have been able to rely on Walts for over 20 years! Im very confident in their mechanics and how honest they evaluate our vehicles. My childrens safety is as important to them as it is to me, and am extremely grateful for the outstanding services they continue to provide us. Peace of mind is garunteed, and in my opinion that is priceless! Huge thanks to Dave and the staff in being there for us, especially when are backs are against the wall!!!!!! 5+ stars
Walts has to be one of the best automotive shops in CNY. Every time I have called to make an appointment they are always so friendly and accommodating. They are able to get to the vehicle quickly and are always fair!
Had my finders car detailed there. Amazing job! Got very tough stains out. Just like out of the show room!
They make me feel like I am their only concern! Its fixed right the first time. Mechanics you can trust!
Walts was great! I was from out of town, with no appointment they looked at my car, gave me advice and a fair price. They didnt try to give me a long list of problems, just noted something that needed to be done but not immediately. Highly recommend, very friendly staff as well.
They were very kind and quick to get me in for an inspection.
Had a wonderful experience with them theyre very honest very knowledgeable and very reasonable. My SU daughter had her oil light warning flash on even after getting an oil change at some weird place. I live in Pittsburgh and am mechanically inclined. I called around and asked the right people to recommend an excellent shop that would see my daughters car the same day. WALTS was highly recommended and yes! was quick to find the problem which was the oil pressure sensor (I had suspected this) Walts changed the sensor, oil and filter at a fair cost...problem sloved! daughter drives home safely for Thanksgiving. Thank you again Walts.
Saved our bacon when our van broke down in Syracuse (300+ miles from home). Another company I called before them (first result in google) said they couldnt even look at our van until next week. Walts had us towed and on our way in 2 hours! Beyond grateful!
This is the BEST Auto Shop in Syracuse! Fair prices, quality work and within walking distance of 95% of the companies downtown.
Good, no BS mechanic. If you are looking for an honest and decently priced auto repair shop, this is it.
Good service, friendly staff
Went in because my windshield wipers were malfunctioning and they quickly confirmed my suspicion regarding the stripped threads. The repair was quick and fairly priced, will definitely come back!
On top of excellent mechanics, they are straight forward in pricing and talking about what needs to be/should be/can be done to your vehicle.
Very professional accommodating and fair.
Great place to have work on your vehicle very fair in price
Got the rust removed from my rear wheel wells. They did an excellent job albeit expensive.
Got a car wash bad job they ain’t dry it l good a lot of wet spot that got dry up they put tire shine on it best job of the car wash they did could of been way better but great people when you come in they great you good. So they get 2stars for that
Great job
Good mechanic. But it will be pricey.
Good and fast services, mechanics are so kind..
Good service, reasonable price, courteous and professional
Ive gone to Walts for years and never feel ripped off - thats the best compliment I think there is for a mechanic!
