I phoned Walt's and THE OWNER himself came out to my location to check on the truck , to advise me and then loaded up my potting soil from Gordon's my 300 dollars in meat and drove me home so the truck could get towed to the shop. That IS the kind of stuff that makes a life long customer. I have lived in Roy for only a year so I am not too informed about where to get work done and had The mechanics at Walt's put a new carbonator and fuse box in the truck awhile back. They were kind, fair and excited to do the work. They kept me informed and I feel the value i received was very fair and the work completed was solid too. I cannot thank you enough . I am grateful and humbled

I opened this Yelp! page for Doug's shop because of the work and service that he has done for us…read moreover the past year. I could not be happier that Doug opened up a repair shop near us. I own a 2001 Hyndai Elantra that is in excellent shape. A good portion of the reason it runs so well is because of Doug. He has done some major engine work on my car, and on my son's Sephia. In fact, my son's Sephia needed a new engine; Doug worked within a network of used parts on the west coast and found us a major steal on the replacement. Better, he took the time to road-test the car, and he gave free adjustments to his work -- he guarantees all of his work. He changed the timing belt on my car, and when he did, he made other adjustments that helped the car idle at a better rpm. My 12 year-old car now is getting 29.2 miles to the gallon because of his adjustments. I like that! The reason that I will keep Doug as my main mechanic is because he is a, well, geek, through and through. I would refer to Doug as a gearhead, but the title would be limiting. I think of him as a geek as the ultimate compliment, because I have never met someone who is so intent on working on a car and fixing it. He also keeps the old pieces that he has replaced, and he explains the damage on them, so he operates with integrity. Frankly, we're lucky to have him as our mechanic. P.S. I have no idea why the location sticker is putting Doug on First Street in Yelm, when the address is out of town. Please ignore the address sticker. Use Google maps.

Our oil change was about 70-80$ due to the oil our car needs. If you pay cash, there is a little bit of a discount! As a veteran family, its always good to support another veteran business!
