              I was referred to Walt's shortly after I moved up here in 2013. They have become like family. There's no bs or upselling. They take care of you and know what to look for. They tell you what's wrong, how important it is to fix, and how much it will cost. No pressure and they're always honest. We were taking a long trip and I took the van in for an oil change. They knew we were going on the trip and took an extra close look at it and found a problem with the cooling system that would have stranded us if it blew during our trip. The way they have taken care of me and my family over the years is amazing. I could write a book on how good they've been to my daughter in her search for her first car and me with cars I've bought over the years. We moved out of state over a year ago and I still miss that place. You truly can't find a better place to take care of you vehicles and your family.
