They have worked on 3 of our cars and I'm making an appointment for another one tomorrow. (Yes we are 5 person family, and we have 5 different vehicles.) To think of going anywhere other than Tim's in Dallas Oregon? Not a chance.

"Man, I'm glad I called that guy!"…read more I called Tony after searching on Google for a mobile mechanic that could do an pre-purchase inspection. I had found a car that looked awesome but it was 70 miles from my home. Tony answered the call and said he could be there the next day to do the inspection. He arrived on time and was professional and courteous to the people selling the car. He found multiple things that were wrong which were not disclosed by the sellers and would have caused the car to need more work than it was worth. If I had someone else look, or if I had looked at it myself, I would have missed these things. Tony saved me almost $7,000 and I'm grateful for his expertise. I will call him anytime I need an honest and reliable mechanic. Thanks, Tony!

It has been over 4 years since I last reviewed Wally's Automotive and Repair and since then I've…read moreused his services many more times on my van, car and truck, transmission, brakes, engines, catalytic converter and other issues. He has even helped me sell cars when it has been time to get rid of them. I have a lot of older vehicles which get a lot of mileage and not as good of care as some of them should get thanks to my wife who won't even tell me when she runs low on wiper fluid, or ask the service station attendant to check her oil level, or told me when she's getting close to the mileage on her oil change sticker. Still, Wally has never let me down. He has always fixed my cars right the first time, and saved me a lot of money over dealership prices while giving me better service. There's something else you should know. Wally doesn't work because he needs to. He has already retired and sat at home for a few months, got bored, then opened up his shop again just because he loves to work on cars and loves to help people. From the moment you hear Wally's voice, you'll see that he really undersells himself. He's just not interested in trying to impress anybody. But don't be fooled. Give this guy a chance. Choose him to work on your car and you'll see that he'll do a great job at a fair price and do it right. He's got decades of knowledge and experience. I have yet to see him misdiagnose anything or even be off a little bit. You know how sometimes you take a car in and it turns out there are two or more things wrong that are creating a problem and the mechanic fixes one of them but doesn't catch the others and so the problem goes away for a while but comes right back? For example, a bad battery and a bad alternator. If you put in a new battery, the car is going to run fine for a while, but in short order it dies again with the same problem because the mechanic didn't find out that the alternator needed to be rebuilt or replaced as well. So now you need another battery. This kind of problem has never happened to me with Wally. He's always thorough. Catches everything.

It's was done quickly and lower than he quoted. We got into a cooling issues with the kids car and he did that as well, again excellent work. I'm a history nut and Wally and I have shot the poo on that subject as well when I'm down there. He's a great guy, great wrench and an asset to the community with his personal knowledge about things. I highly recommend Wally if you need work done.

After my last review and getting a phone message from Jacob, I took the car back over and let them check it out to see if they could figure out why my car was still shaking, and to get the tire with the screw in the sidewall replaced. They stood by the tire warranty and pro-rated me out some tires and got me out of there with four new tires for an amazingly reasonable price- and come to find out, I do not have bent wheels as I was previously told, and today my car finally once again drives like should. So Im not sure what was going on over there before. but it doesn't matter because today they got me all fixed up, and Jacob was awesome taking care of everything. THANK YOU!
