User Reviews for Walter's Automotive

what a great find, we live in Philadelphia, daughters are at Pitt, both mirrors on 2002 Focus got whacked off within a week in Shadyside, found Walters on this website, called he gave an estimate over the phone, ordered mirrors, they arrived promptly and he even installed them while my daughter waited and since it took less time than he thought, he charged LESS, wow wish he had a branch in Philadelphia!!

After a consistent overheating problem and strange rod scraping sounds coming from my front left side, I took everybody's advice and took my jeep to Walter's Automotive on Baum. Tim diagnosed the rod sound in 2 minutes and told me exactly what it would cost. The overheating problem had cost me over $1000 (new fan idle relay unit, new thermostat sensor, new water pump, etc.) at another garage and the car was still overheating. Tim diagnosed and fixed it for free. Plus my bill came in at $80 under the original estimate. I HIGHLY recommend Tim at Walter's Automotive for a mechanic that will not charge a dollar over what he needs to. He does not gauge and doesn't perform unnecessary service.
Pros: good work, low rates, good communication

No longer do I have to dread getting work done on my car. Tim is a smart guy, and always treats me with respect (which, as a woman, is more than I can say about any place else I've been). He clearly explains the problem and tells me when he can fix it. I have never felt that I am getting an unfair price. No matter where I live, or how far I have to drive, I will continue to go to Walter's Automotive.
Pros: Fair pricing, nice people.
Cons: None

You will find an extremely knowledgable and personable mechanic at Walter's. (Tim) is hilarious, honest, and affordable. I knew he'd be my mechanic when he could get me to laugh instead of cry when faced with a large repair ($$$) on my old used car. He's just a happy guy. He is a bit ADD, so don't be surprised if he can't find your keys, or invoice, or a pen. He knows what he's doing and does it well. He's not afraid to suggest ways for you to save money on a repair -- and he doesn't seem like the kind of person who would suggest unnecessary repairs just to make a buck. His lot is always full. But he manages to work rather quickly. He's a great find.
Pros: knowledgable, friendly, affordable
Cons: No waiting area.

Professional, but as a small shop he cannot do everything. Yet, he is honest and will tell you when you need to ask for somebody else help. The prices are reasonable.

I have been a long time customer of the Walter Family, from their Texaco on Walnut to the present location. Tim is as honest as they come.

Found this repair shop in the student's guide to pgh. Recommended by other students. Tim's a great guy, friendly, all his customers seem to take a liking to him. I had to get a big job done (around $200) and he got the most done for the buck. I go to him all the time with repair jobs now. I have been pretty satisfied with his work.
Pros: Good waiting time, reasonably priced, friendly
