Art Walker’s Auto Service

Bought my care here for Body work after I was in an accident. Michelle was very helpful in navigating the insurance company and they did a great job restoring it back to its original state.

They were able to get me a fair estimate on the remaining parts and made my day okay after the initial disappointment. Thanks!

Wish there were 0 stars. Tried charging me nearly 1000 dollars for maintenance on my car and I decided to take to another shop, where what art walker said was wrong wasn’t at all and the other shop fixed it for less than 300 dollars. These guys literally suck elephant butt, how are you a professional mechanic I think my unborn child could diagnose a vehicle better…

When my car decided to take a stand and demand a repair immediately, I wandered the Internet and phone lines trying to figure out the best way to get it to an auto doctor. Treadquarters was nearby and recommended Art Walker’s towing services. I called them and got an old-​timey cheerful gentleman who assured me they took both cash and cards, and said I would have someone arrive in half an hour.
Possibly early, at least on time, Sparky arrived! Not only was he funny and pleasant, but he showed me how the flatbed tow system loaded the car. Once in the truck and on our way, he told me about his fun seasonal work as a Santa (he completely looks the part; no fake beards here) and showed me pictures with kids enjoying their Christmases. Once we arrived he swiftly offloaded my car, explained their billing system, and rode off into the horizon. He wasfondly remembered by the people at the auto shop from past visits and they assured me that he’s always just as jovial. Thanks, Sparky!

They took apart my car to inspect and then failed it after they broke a part off of my car and then they didn’t even do my alignment that I asked them to do in the first place instead they wanted $ 800 from me in order for them to do an inspection. Which I don’t understand because all the parts were $ 20 or less but the labor was $ 95 for each part when even some of the work was for my light bulbs to be replaced. I will never go here again or recommend this place to anyone instead tell them to steer clear or they will get ripped off.

I got in an accident and trusted this company because the VB police department called them out for me. I was told that it would cost me $ 140 to tow it to their shop and that my insurance company would cover it. The owner said that I wouldn’t be charged a holding fee as long as I removed the vehicle from the lot by 24 hours. He also offered to take the truck off of my hands if I released my title along with the $ 140. No thank you, Sir. The next day my price jumped up to $ 265. I would recommend avoiding this company at all costs!

I was recommended to come here by my coworkers and have been happy ever since. I moved here from Chicago where I used to have a good friend take care of all my auto needs. So finding a mechanic I can trust is worth everything. Recently I went to Midas just for an oil change since Art’s is kinda far from me. Next day I had knocking in my tires. Midas tells me I need new bearings to the tune of 500.00. Took it to Art’s who took everything apart drove it many times and found out I didn’t need anything. May have been a stone from all the water and flooding we had from a hurricane. Honesty is priceless when it comes to your car. I recommended these down to earth guys all day!

Whenever my car is due for a state inspection, I always take it to Art Walker. This no frills place has always been straight forward with me about my car, I never felt like they were trying to up-​sell me. Yeah, it’s a tiny place and you should definitely expect to drop off your car at this busy place. But for me it has always been worth the wait.
The last time I was there, I was standing in line behind a lady and overheard her saying that they saved her a lot of money on a repair job for her van. I don’t know what they did, but she sure was happy.
