Honest. Helpful. Transparent. And frank. All the things you need in a good mechanic. Don't hesitate to bring your vintage or newer car here. This is a family owned business and Willy is the patriarch. He's a patient man. A considerate man. He wants to make you happy. He goes the extra mile to do it. Even if it is news you don't want to hear but should about the condition of the car you just bought. He's not the cheapest. But as SF goes, he was not as expensive as he could have been. And the ability to trust ...well, priceless. read more

Great service, reasonable price, top quality parts. Very helpful, explained everything clearly.

As a woman I never feel I can trust what I am being told is wrong with my car. At Willy's auto repair not only was I told all that was wrong with my van but it was explained in detail. They made sure my car was safe for me to drive anywhere I needed to go. I was fortunate that they were able to take me in as a walk in. I definitely will be going back to take care of any of my car needs. Thank you so much for showing concern for my safety. read more

Needed new brakes badly. Called and was able to come in the very next day. Good quality work, reasonably priced and same day service. Willy and Charlotte are both charming. Thank you, guys!!! read more

I pulled my car from supposedly "All Pro" shop, this after shelling $180 to run diagnostics. Best auto repair decision i made. Took my 255k mileage, 2015 Nissan Rogue to Willy's. After a brief interview about "what is going on with the car", He told me to come back in 2 hours. He ran diagnostic test, drove the car and came down with a very economical solution. Long story short, paid a fraction from what the other guy wanted. Willy does not sugarcoat. He is candid and tells it like and how it is. He is very reasonable. It is very difficult to find a good and trustworthy mechanic. With Will - I highly recommend!! read more

I have a old school 64 skylark no one was willing or new how to find what I need or do work. I felt so at ease leaving my car there. Owner took time to explain all the work needed before starting work excellent shop read more

Great service, experience and feel like I'm getting the real deal vs. going to a dealership.

I took my classic 60s Bronco to Willy's for years while I lived in San Francisco. They are the best shop you are going to find when it comes to fixing vintage cars and trucks. Willy runs a great family business! They are fair, honest, and the most knowledgeable mechanics you are going to find to keep your old car running great. I used Willy's for all kinds of mechanical issues as well as some body work and a full paint job on my 67 Bronco. They are great people and you can trust them completely to work on your vehicle! It is always fun to see the other classics in the shop too. I left San Francisco a few years ago and I have never found another mechanic who compares. Fortunately, Willy turned my truck into a reliable runner and a great looker so I haven't had to deal with many issues since leaving. Thanks to Willy's for all their great service over the years! read more

My Tire popped when I was in SF getting flowers, and fortunately, I was able to discover Willy's auto on Yelp! I called him to see if he was able to patch it up for me. Despite being busy, the owner took me in. He was super friendly and kind! They patched up my tire within 10 mins, and it was good as new and ready for me To drive back to San Jose! Thank you so much, Willy's auto repair! read more

I drive a 1965 VW Bug, and Willy's has come to my rescue more times than I'd care to rattle off. Every time I've been in a pinch, they've come through for me. They're even able to get parts for my car in quick fashion so it's not out of commission any longer than necessary. I always appreciate their fast and honest service. read more

Professional diagnosed my car quickly, gave me price, and estimated time for repair was done one day earlier and did not overcharge me. Very satisfied with service read more

I took my classic car to Willy's Auto Repair for a general checkup. Guillermo was examining the car in details and made all the necessary replacements & fixes with attention to all details. It took for an extra week to get everything done, but he personally cleaned / refurbished the original carburetor at no extra cost to make sure everything is perfect - which is absolutely amazing. It's a lovely family business and they really take care about the details. I'll definitely come back regularly in the future. read more

Willy's Auto Repair - Auto Repair Near Me - San Francisco, California

I blew my radiator going westbound on the bay bridge at night a few months ago. Smoke was pouring out of my car and I had to be towed to the city. Trying to figure out how to most efficiently handle the situation, I researched the repair shop next to where my car had been towed, which turned out to be Willy's. Relying on the positive reviews I found here, I went in as soon as they opened the following morning, praying they could help. Luckily they were able to take my car in and by end of my work day, it was running properly and I was able to drive home. Communication and customer service were excellent. It's clear this is a mechanic who loves what he does and the price was more reasonable than I initially assumed. Thank you Willy's!! read more

Professional diagnosed my car quickly, gave me price, and estimated time for repair was done one day earlier and did not overcharge me.

Great local, family owned auto repair. Guillermo and his daughter both super kind people, they rotated my tires and were troubleshooting a small display electrical issue I had, very affordable, quick, and they squeezed me in at the last minute. Come here and support local businesses! read more

I took my car here after it was stolen. It was making a strange knocking sound and some parts in the AC system had been stolen. The guys there were very nice to me. Some of that may have had something to do with the fact that I speak spanish, but maybe not. They always called to let me know how much longer it would take for the car to be ready, as opposed to other mechanics who just let you wait. I had just had surgery and couldn't pick my car up immediately and they were very nice about waiting a day or two for me to get down there. The billing with the insurance company was very smooth. I was very pleased with my experience at Willy's. read more

Well as a honest mechanic myself with degrees to back it up ! He's not !! Well Willy will say just about anything with a smile but lie to your face was exactly like others had said was his MO ! Mine was first of all refusal to give a written AND signed work orders to prevent out right theft ! Which it was ! Statements like that's the way they ran in those days ? No it's not ! big lie number one ! After he charged the most possible but did not fix the poor running vehicle ! He mouthed off a whole bunch of CRAP like he disrespected my knowledge or maybe he still believes he is way smarter than his customers? not true ! Talk about padding the bill ? Oh yes ! Most people are not mechanics and write raved reviews because they are going by the smile not knowledge! Sorry folks ! How many actually inspected the work or I should say the bill ?? Anyone not giving you a written work order of cost is about to or already has got into your bank as easy as that ! There are prices to go by set by industry standards but slick Willy doesn't like them and a very easy way around it is to bull shit you into why he's not giving you a written cost estimate ie (work order ) stay away from (slick Willy ) there are way more honest people out there ! Read reviews ! Believe reviews ! Or be just another scammed Person ! I've seem allot of scammers and he is just one more to avoid at any cost ! RUN ! I only learned of his ridiculous cost or fees after he repeatedly stalled to ever give an advanced cost estimate so as a customer I would know in advance if he's a scammer ? When he stalled and stalled until the job was done where at that point he could charge any price he could make up ! and half the job was not even done ! As the parts were still in the box I brought unopened ?? So how is it they didn't fit ? If it was never tried ? Lier lier pants on fire ! Busted ! This is more about his shady billing not his mechanics but who needs that ? Not me good luck out there ! Get second opinions please ! I'm not going back twice he did the same thing so that's who he is ! another reviewer hit it right on the head ! He's only a slick talker to the non mechanic !! But he's no match for one way better than him if for no other reason than honesty ! But our skill levels are on different planets ! Scamming others is not A skill level ! As a military aircraft inspector he's what the military calls or labels a (pencil whipper and the military combats them by having inspectors follow them up with life saving inspections ! You just can't pull over at 30,000 feet ! I was one of many ! and saw this attitude first hand ! There and now here ! I had to go to yet another shop to correct his poor level of work ! read more

I brought my 1967 Cadillac to Willy's to get a new water pump and exhaust manifold installed. Willy is very thorough and detailed and we did find a bunch of things that needed attention on the car. My overall goal is too restore the car to its former glory days and I think Willy shares the same sentiment so everything Willy suggested I went along with, that meant a new timing cover, timing gears, timing chain, oil pan gasket, a few hoses, distributor, spark plugs and wires, valve cover gaskets as well. The thing is is that Willy is an expert with classic cars and the work came out beautiful, he cleaned everything as he worked and even painted the oil pan and valve covers and air cleaner so now the motor and underside look great again actually bringing value to the vehicle as well. The labor cost is high but the work is excellent, I have plans to bring the Caddy back for suspension work but for now I can enjoy driving it! read more

After reading the positive reviews, I was just about to give Willy's a try. Until I saw reviews with one, two and three stars. They also have 5 and 4 stars, great reviews. But suppose I'm one of the people that get treated like the bad reviews. Now I'm afraid to try them. If you treat everyone the same, give everyone good honest service, then all reviews would be good reviews. And you won't take a chance to miss out on potential customers that read the reviews. I have been taken so many times by auto repairs. I'm just searching for an honest and reliable auto repair shop. read more

From my experience, Willy doesn't really deserve any stars, but I can see why he gets rated highly. Willy is a really nice man. And, his son and daughter, who also work there, are also really nice. Heck, I even liked their dog, Zeus. But, Willy continually let me down by not fixing things right the first time and constantly missing due dates. My story starts with a bad transmission in my Jeep Grand Cherokee. Willy said he would replace it and be done in a week. Well, at the end of the week, a few excuses came rolling in. No worries, I thought, as replacing the transmission required a few other repairs to make sure I didn't have any future problems. So, at the end of week two, I get my car back, transmission replaced. Yay. But, wait, it's not quite that easy: 1. Willy says I had to replace your battery, but I didn't have the right one in stock, so I put a different one in there but still charged you for the correct one. Just bring your car back in a couple weeks and I'll put the right one in. 2. The car stalled everytime I pulled out of a stoplight. I called Willy and he says, no problem, that's a simple idle adjustment, happens a lot when you replace a transmission. I think, so if it's that simple and so common, why didn't you fix it? I don't consider a car that stalls at every stoplight done! 3. The transmission wouldn't shift into overdrive. That's right, 65 on the freeway was about 3500 RPM when it should have been 2250. Can you say 8 MPG? WIlly says bring it in, it's probably just a throttle cable adjustment. That doesn't make sense to me, but, hey, he's the mechanic. So, I drop my car off again. WIlly says these simple repairs will only take a couple days. Great. THREE WEEKS LATER I got my car back. This time: 1. Still wrong battery 2. Still no overdrive Willy says "Aw shucks, I forgot the battery. And, I tested the overdrive, are you sure it's not working?" Yes, Willy, I'm sure, That 3500RPM on the freeway is pretty freakin' noticeable. So, I take it back again. Should be only a few days, right. EIGHT WEEKS LATER I get my car back. To be fair to Willy, I did ask him to do some other services, but nothing that would extend the service time beyond a few days. And, it's not like I just abandoned my car. I CALLED EVERY WEEK and VISITED HIS SHOP IN PERSON several times. If my car wasn't buried in the back of his shop, I'd have driven/towed it out and taken it someplace else, but Willy's nice and I don't need my car often, so I just put up with it and resolved to never go back. But, here's the kicker, after EIGHT WEEKS, I get the car back and, you guessed it, 1. STILL NO OVERDRIVE! So, I threaten to sue Willy. Willy says please, no, give me one more chance. As you've heard, Willy's nice and I even liked his dog, so I capitulated. The deal is he's going to have my car for max 3 days and he's going to rip out the old transmission and put in another one "just to be safe". Sure. TWO WEEKS LATER, I get my car back. And, this time, yes, OVERDRIVE FINALLY WORKS, BUT My transmission leaks fluid almost as fast as I can put it in. Instead of using a real transmission gasket, Willy used a squeeze-tube gasket maker (RTV for tthose of you in the know), which the transmission fluid ate through in no time. And, the shifter doesn't work right. Drive really isn't drive, but if you jiggle the shifter a bit, it will settle into gear, but if you don't get it right you figure it out because it won't shift out of second gear. But, hey, Willy's a nice guy. read more

I recently became a cliche. It went down like this. I was running late and begged McV to borrow his car for the day. My friend Janet drove it back with me in the evening so we could both go to some alum bar night thing in Palo Alto. If you've ever tried to park in Palo Alto on a Friday, you will be amazed to discover that it is much harder than parking in all neighborhoods in San Francisco with the possible exception of the Mission. Me: There is no parking! I can just drop you off and take the car back or something. Janet: Look! A garage! ... Me: Okay. There is no parking even in the garage! Except for small cars. Do you think a Camry counts as a small car? Janet: No. Me: I can do it! (This may be a good time to note that I failed all of the parking challenges when taking my driver's test and passed only because I had the horny old man tester and I giggled a lot. I soon moved to Boston and never drove a car again.) Me (after 5 minutes of clumsy maneuvering): Jannnnnet! The car won't move forwards or backwards! Janet: Let me get out of the car and direct. ... Janet: You may not want to look now, but you are a lot closer to that pole than you think you are. Me: Is it really bad? Janet: How much does McV like his car? Me: Ohhhhhh shit. And that's how I became The Girlfriend Who Begs To Use Your Car And Subsequently Destroys It. Okay, destroy is an exaggeration. In trying to squeeze into a way-too-small space, I had managed to scrape and dent most of the driver's side door. So technically, the car was still moving, but it looked nasty. (Here is where I need to give McV five MILLION stars because he didn't get angry AND he let me borrow the car again when I overslept the very next day. So he is either the best guy ever or really dumb.) I offered to scratch the other doors to match. I offered to cover the scraped areas with a big NASCAR magnet like I had given my sister one Christmas. I even offered to put a big sign over the scraped area that said "Liz G. banged my car up". But McV didn't go for any of my ideas, so then I offered to get it fixed. Having never owned a car before, I had no idea what such an operation would involve. The first few estimates I got at places recommended by Yelpers were all around $1000 and expected to take about 4 days. Then I asked Ben Y. for recommendations. He suggested a place in Pac Heights, so I headed up there. Because I'm not a very good driver (as has already been established) I missed the turn into the shop and had to go around the block. In my superfluous trip around the block, I passed by Willy's and figured it couldn't hurt to get another estimate. Everyone I talked to at the shop was extremely nice and helpful. As soon as the guy I talked to saw the car he said, "The parking spots around here are so small," before I even told him the story! More to the point, his estimate was HALF my previous lowest estimate AND he expected he could fix the car in one day. I admit, I was a little suspicious of what a half-price one-day job would look like. I was also worried that it was too good to be true. But as promised, the repair was finished in one day, I paid exactly what he quoted, and the car absolutely looked good as new. I hope I never have to go to Willy's again, especially since I don't even own a car. But every Girlfriend Who Begs To Use Your Car And Subsequently Destroys It should have a good auto body shop in her cell just in case. read more

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND WILLY'S TO ANYONE I needed a new engine for my explorer so i went with the highest rated place on yelp. Big time mistake. I asked if they could acquire and install a rebuilt engine. They said they could and quoted me at $4200. They said they needed half upfront. I agreed on the condition it would be finished within a week. They said no problem. $2200 and about 5 weeks later still no engine. Week after week with excuses why they didn't have a suitable engine. I had no option but to take my car from this incompetent "auto shop" to a shop that could actually get the job done. So after about a half hour on the phone explaining to them that "No I won't wait, and no I don't care that they have yet another engine coming in from out of state in the next couple days. At this point all I wanted was my car and my money back. When I arrived at the shop they told me it wasn't ready and they needed to put the engine back in the car... o and they were going to charge me the man hours it took to take the engine out.(and the man hours to put the engine back in) My question why would you take my engine out of the car if you had nothing to put in its place? Why would i pay for your miscalculations? They performed a "service" so I was to be charged. They charged $800 I brought it to another shop where the job was done cheaper and within a week. Feel free to message me I will give FULL details of this horrendous experience. DO NOT GO HERE... YOU WILL REGRET IT. read more

**UPDATE** I had to update my review to give yet another 5 STARS for the folks at Willy's. I had a cracked windshield on my Toyota Prius. Toyota told me for the Toyota glass it would be $1000 plus $200 for the service. I went back to the good people at Willy's and they got me an estimate for $250. Dropped it off on Friday at 8:30AM - got it back at 11:30AM same day!!! How AWESOME is that???!! GREAT Service, Great Job!! Check them out! *** Original Review: Over the holiday week I had my car hit as I was passing Lombard on Fillmore st. I went to another place and they said it would take over a week to do the work. The damage: dent and scratched paint the entire left side of the vehicle (left doors and rear bumper) and I just brought a this Hybrid. I took it to this place and they where professional but most important I turned my car in on a Wednesday afternoon and picked it up on Saturday at noon!! It looked like new when I got it!!! Very good work...can't tell at all that I was hit! I would recommend them for sure!! Fast turn around and the work is all guaranteed!! Family run place...been there for quite some time. Friendly and professional! read more

What can be said about Willy's Auto....Let's see..I took my 1968 Plymouth Valiant in and got the Engine Completely Rebuilt as well as had a full Brake Service job. So far the car has been running good, but considering that the when an engine gets completely overhauled, only time will tell. The owner was very knowledgeable about my type of car as well as making sure that all the necessary parts where installed. The work came with a 2 year 24k warranty, so I know that they stand behind their work. The business is family run and both father and son were up front and made sure to call before any additional work was done. As for me, since my engine is rebuilt now I am happy camper. read more

I don't like to write long reviews so I will get straight to the point. Willy is an amazing mechanic and very trustworthy repair guy. My 1969 Camaro Z28 is working much better then before thanks to great advice and upgrades that we did to the ignition and carburator. I will recommend Willy and his crew to anyone looking to get work done on their car whether it's an old classic or a new car! Thank you Willy!! read more

I took my Jeep Grand Cherokee here twice within a 2 month period. The first time, my girlfriend sideswiped someone that opened their door on a narrow street. I got estimates at 4 places, including Willy's. They gave me the best price, as I was coming out of pocket. There were a few fixes that were needed from internal damage, and they were able to make the necessary fixes without replacing the parts (bumper connector, and headlight). Saved me a bunch on money- and it looks great. The other thing that I appreciated was that it was fixed in just a few days, and they called and emailed to keep me posted. The two guys and gal that work there are all really nice. Way better experience than I have ever had with body shops. read more

They moved in right across the street from me. I got to say, I am satisfied. They seem honest to me and nice. When they say they cannot do any cheaper they mean it. Some work they quoted me reasonable, some cheap, and some more pricier... Transmission flush for example they couldn't do cheaper so I went to the shop next door. Not a big deal. Radiator replacement - good job! Other things, also very reasonable. They work hard, I can see them pretty often. Long hours and care about their clients and customer service is good. Not bad!! read more

OUTSTANDING SERVICE at a fair price. Everyone must have a good mechanic. Guillermo and his staff definitely serve this need. Brought in my '98 Honda Accord (yeah the one your teenage son is embarrassed to be seen in) for major transmission repair. Guillermo was fair, honest gave me the run-down on what was needed. This kind of old school treatment is refreshing. I will Rx my friends & family. As for my son, his aunt gave him a car he's just not driving it.....yet! MASSIVE RE-SPECT GUILLERMO!! read more

So, I am one of those blessed people in San Francisco who pays an arm and a leg to have her own parking garage in which to park her car. Well, actually, it's a tandem garage, so I share it with a neighbor. Anywho, my neighbor has a really, really expensive, brand new car. My car - not so much. Pretty much a 1997 pinto-quality gem of a car. So, one morning, I had to move my neighbor's hot car to get my not-so-hot jalopy out of the garage. I move the neighbor's car with the utmost care - I mean, I can't afford to pay for any repairs to a $70,000 car when I'm paying so much every month for parking, you know what I mean? When I get to moving my car, I bust out of my skinny little garage like a bat out of hell, forgetting, of course, to check my side mirrors. Well, lo and behold, I take one of those babies right off! Driver's side, of course. So, after moving my neighbor's $70,000 car back into the garage with utmost care, I drive down the road to Willy's Auto Repair Shop. On the way, I make up a story about what to tell them if they ask me what happened. Some other chick took off my mirror in the parking lot of TJ's while I was inside grocery shopping! Brilliant! But here's the thing - the nice people at Willy's never asked. They just took the car, fixed it in a day or two, and charged me like $100 bucks. Wham, bam, thank you Willy's for such fast, efficient, and cheap service! The old jalopy looks as good as new! Errr... almost, give or take 11 years. read more

Excellent and friendly service! ******* Willy's staff was able to fix my car the way I wanted them to and did it quite fast! The price was super cheap, I'm new to SF and called 20+ auto repair shops. I first went into Willy's because of their cheap estimates (the price they quoted me was about the same price as parts for other shops), but after meeting the friendly staffed I decided to come back to drop off my car to get it fixed. Superb job. No complaints! Nice guys! read more

Willy & his team have helped me keep my '67 Pontiac, 500 hp '66 Malibu and my '99 Tahoe on the road for the past 7 years! My dad was a GM mechanic so my expectations are high! Living in SF without a garage, Willy & his mechanics are the only people I trust to wrench on my rides! Customer service & prices & work done have all exceeded my expectations! Great family ran business! Thanks guys! Casey read more

My 1969 Mustang broke down on it's way back from LA and I called Willy's out of the blue. They said it would be fine to tow it to their shop and discuss the repairs. Turns out the cause of the problem was with the previous engine builder - apparently the worst in the United States. Willy and Willy Jr. were very patient as I made a claim against the previous engine builder. My 69 was in their shop for about a year while I did this. What mechanic would let you basically store your car while you gather a case against another engine builder for a year? I doubt many. When all was said and done, the insurance paid out and willy's got a check to build a new engine. I could not be happier. The people at this shop are a joy to deal with. My Mustang now runs like a champ. I wouldn't take it anywhere else. read more

They did a really good job there , my car been in a accident , I bring my car to them, and they did do everything for me , like find me a rental car and they even drop me off at the rental car office , they done the job fast both Willys and his son is so friendly , will sure come back read more

When you schedule an appointment to drop your car off at 8am, you expect someone to be at the shop. This was not the case. Gave them a call, nothing. Sent them an email later. Did I get a response? No. There are plenty of mechanics around that don't give horrible first impressions read more

good couple trips to Willy's. About a month ago a brought my truck in to have the handle on the tailgate replaced, they took care of that in a short amount of time and at a very reasonable price. the other day the handle failed, which I was bummed to discover, but brought it back in and they swapped out the suspect hinges and had me out the door in no time, and at no additional charge. thanks! -Andy read more

My car broke down just after I exited the Bay Bridge. Needed it by early the next day. Another shop recommended Willy's and I dropped it off as they were closing. Guillermo (Father and Son business) gave me a great price...and had the car ready first thing in the morning. Great work and great people! Definitely recommend! read more

We took our car here twice now... The first time for a minor problem (oil change and uncooperative wipers) and second time for a more complicated and expensive problem - suspension and alignment (lingering problems from an old accident). I liked Willy. He takes the time to talk to you and explain what's going on, and he had the car ready on time and at a reasonable price. Labor rate was $99/hr. Perhaps not as friendly of a shop as John's Union Street Garage, but John gets like 12 stars in friendliness... no one can compete with him. And his shop is too darn busy lately... read more

people who want things done admittedly should go to the dealer. if you want an honest, reasonably priced mechanic, come here. read more

So this is one of those (all too) rare occasions when I wish I could give more than 5 stars. I apologize for the length of this review but you need the background. If you get impatient, skip to the end--that's where I gush about Willy's. I moved to SF from DC in May and, after much debating, decided to bring my 11-year old Nissan Pathfinder with me (well, actually, paid out the ass to have it shipped but I digress). Last summer I had what appeared to be battery problems. Car died, got a new battery, car died again, mechanic assured me it was a "lemon battery" and replaced for free. All was well until last month. After not having driven for awhile (say, 1 week--I don't drive it to/from work so it's really more of a weekender car), my car was dead. So called AAA and the guy they sent out said I needed a new battery. I just wanted my car to run so I sprung for the new battery despite having just gotten a new one last year. I asked what would happen if my car died again despite the new battery and he said to call AAA if that happened and he would tow me to a shop as something else must be going on. So Friday morning I drove a "friend" home and all was well. The next day, when I had a long list of errands to run, lo and behold, my car was dead again. Too frustrated to deal, I waited till Monday to call AAA. Guy (same guy actually) came back out and said I needed to take it in--probably needed a new alternator. He jumped my car and, when I asked for a reference, suggested WIlly's as it is both close (less than 2 blocks from my house) and he knew WIlly's son from grade school. Perfect. BEGIN GUSHING: Drive car to Willy's and get it back that night with a new alternator (to the tune of $400). Willy was super nice, professional, and even waited around until I was able to leave work (after 8pm) and come get my car. He also discovered a slew of brake problems but didn't pressure me into fixing them--just wanted to point things out. Wednesday morning I decide to just start my car for the hell of it...especially b/c I have to drive to Napa on Friday for a wedding I'm in. Given that this is the first time I know I really NEED my car I was, of course, not at all surprised that it didn't start. I called Willy and he asked if I could bring it in on Thursday. Of course I had no way to get it there, so he just suggested I drop my keys off as I walked to work and he would go get it and bring it back to the shop. AWESOME. And worth 5 stars in and of itself. Oh yeah, let me also point out that it was his daughter's birthday that day so he wanted to leave work early (like 6pm) but knew I had to have my car that night. So I don't hear anything all day and am getting nervous. Call him at around 4pm and he says he's still working--that some fuse is shorting out and draining the battery but it's taking him awhile to isolate which fuse. I just tell him to stay in touch. To complicate matters, I have to take a recruit to dinner at 6pm and know I'll be somewhat AWOL. I check my phone during dinner and see that he's called--it's about 7:15pm at this point. I call him back and he is STILL at work waiting for me. When I explain I can't leave he offers to, get this, drive my car back to my parking spot behind my apartment and leave the keys for me so I will have it in the morning and don't have to leave dinner early. Yeah now we're squarely in "Willy is a rockstar" territory. Then he tells me he found the problem (radio) but didn't have time to fix it so just pulled the fuse so it won't keep draining the battery. Oh yeah, and that he won't charge me anything despite having worked on it for a good portion of the day (not to mention being late to his daughter's birthday dinner). Just to solidify his awesomeness, I get a call in the morning from Willy just to make sure that the car started and that I was able to get to my wedding. Um, who does that? The car did indeed start and I made it to the wedding in time! Thank you Willy...I will definitely be coming back. read more
