I cannot say enough good things about Walt's Auto Repair & Towing in Sandusky. From the moment I…read morecontacted them, I was treated with honesty, professionalism, and genuine kindness. It's becoming increasingly rare to find a repair shop that takes the time to listen, explain things clearly, and truly put the customer first. Walt and his team are knowledgeable, responsive, and clearly take pride in their work. What impressed me most was their integrity and willingness to help rather than simply sell services. They made what could have been a stressful situation incredibly easy and straightforward. Definitely less expensive than I thought it would be. If you're looking for a trustworthy local repair shop that values its customers and stands behind its work, I highly recommend Walt's Auto Repair & Towing. Sandusky is fortunate to have a business like this in the community. Thank you, Walt and team, for the outstanding service!

Full disclosure - I think the problem started when he confused me with my sister-in-law, who's name…read moreis also Tiffany LaCourse. She's had some issues with him recently and I don't think he realizes we are two different people. That having been said - my son was in an accident last month (June 7th 2025) and Walt's Towing ended up towing his car. When I picked my son up from the scene, they weren't sure what tow company would take the car, so the sheriff gave me his card with the report number on it and said the tow company would get in touch with me. No one ever called me, and I was completely slammed between work, my boys' baseball schedules, my mom's doctors appointments, and everything else going on. I talked to my insurance company (State Farm) immediately after the accident, filed a claim, and they said they would make sure the car was at a facility that didn't charge storage and if it wasn't - they'd have it moved somewhere that wouldn't charge for storage. I assumed since I never heard anything more from my insurance or the towing company - that there was nothing to worry about. Weeks after the accident - on Friday, June 21 2025 - Walt and his girlfriend showed up at my house at close to 8pm when my husband and I were in Ashland at a baseball tournament and he scared my elderly mom and my 9 year old son. He gave my mom a copy of the police report with a POST IT NOTE attached with a price of $1,398.13 handwritten on it (see attached photo) and said he needs to be paid ASAP and I need to get my car. That is NOT an invoice - let alone itemized. I still to this day have not received an invoice. I called the police on him that night and made a report. I've tried to reach him and so has my cousin Richard (who tows vehicles) numerous times to get the car - so the storage fees would stop - and he hasn't answered or reached back out to either of us. Now this weekend - July 19 2025 - I got served with small claims court papers. He's taking me to court for almost $2400! And he still has my son's car and has still has never returned any calls to this day! I fully intend to file with the BBB, Ohio Secretary of State, ODOT, and any other authority I can to have this remedied.

I've been a happy customer for well over 10 years. Recently I learned that my truck needed a part that was no longer available from the manufacturer and tee going round and round for two months of manufacturer "support". I told Chris the problem that the truck was having and without hesitation was told "get it out her" and within days I was back on the road, with all thee confidence in the world once again I received from the Lakeland team. This isn't simply a repair shop....they are a problem resolution shop. I highly recommend without hesitation. Chris and his team are truly professionals leading the industry.

I searched for nearby mechanics and noticed the Port Clinton Auto Repair had great reviews so I decided to have my car towed here even though they were closed and crossed my fingers.

Some things I really appreciated were awesome customer service, transparency, and a full car inspection with an online write-up with photos. They were awesome to work with and would recommend them to anyone!

My fee for this: $0.00. I think their Service Department does a good job and sincerely tries to accommodate their customers.
