They first told me to pay 290 but I got it down to 260 once I asked why it's that expensive (especially for that close of a distance). The car was only there for a couple hours, I don't understand the insane pricing and how they wanted me to pay almost 300 dollars at first. Also did not give me my parking ticket I had to pay and texted me on Facebook messenger 2 days later about how they had my parking ticket; the police said it should have been in my car. Very inconvenient and not the most organized.

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. I hear from The mechanic the next day, Monday and they had it all fixed and ready to go by Wednesday. 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!

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!

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 googled auto service nearby and called D&A and spoke to Dave who was very pleasant and told me my options. He sent over Sandusky towing who were also fabulous and they were able to jump the car so I can get over to D&A. I think we got to D&A late in the afternoon, maybe 3:30. We drop off the car, and he gives us a loaner at no charge. He calls me at 4:15 to tell me our car needs a new battery and they can get done by 5 which is when they close. The total experience was just amazing.

I have tried SEVERAL times to resolve the MANY issues w/the vehicle, however in vain. I have even went as far as the owner, but by using caller ID, I am told, "He is not in today" I was told the car was a "clean title and had never been in a wreck". This vehicle was hit HARD on the passenger side front and was put back together very badly. Also, salesman said, "Tires are knee deep in rubber" They were NOT. They are wearing BADLY on the inside and showing the steel belts (body shop says from the front end damage, NOT being out of alignment). ALSO , someone has put a different gear ratio in the rear end and the speedometer is off by 8 miles an hour! I too asked, "Is this a numbers matching car?" I was told, "Yes" BOTH FRONT FENDERS AND THE FRONT BUMPER COVER HAVE BEEN REPLACED (FORD DOT, NO VIN NUMBERS) All of this is in twxt/documented.

Do not use this business unless you need a simple service like an oil change or minor maintenance…read more I was not familiar with auto shops in this area as a newer resident, and a neighbor recommended them. I was initially impressed with the free towing of my pickup when my starter went out. It was repaired with no problem. However, I took it back to Greer when I had some other issues with my truck due to overheating. I was told I needed a new intake manifold, so I was quoted $1500. Then I received a call that it was going to cost more, around $600, due to labor hours, because they ran into issues. So long story short, the truck was not completely repaired correctly, and I had to keep putting antifreeze in it as there was a leak somewhere. So, someone must not have known how to work on a Ford because now I have a blown head gasket, and the vehicle is dead. Since Greer's mechanic had the engine completely torn down to fix an issue, everything should have been checked. In my opinion, they threw it back together when they "ran into issues" and did not know how to fix a Ford. All someone had to do was let me know what the problem was, or if it was more than they could handle.
