My car was inspected by them last year only to be pulled over that same exact day for a turn signal out. Recently I had them put a new exhaust on (my vehicle sat there for 3 days) after picking it up I discovered missing clamps and 7 exhaust leak's. Not only did I pay them 300$ for this I then had to turn around and pay someone else to fix there mistake.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BUSINESS!!!! We had a truck with…read moresome major damage to the right side...ok ...(just a little too close to the garage wall). Anyway...we immediately contacted BLACK WALNUT for the repairs. The ease of calling and dropping off the vehicle was easy. ERIC the owner has kept us updated on the progress of the repairs. Eric called and suggested that a mechanic check the engine to ensure the truck would outlast the new paint job. (He did this on his own time) Now that's what I call REAL CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! I'm sharing some pictures of the damage and will share the OUTSTANDING RESULTS after the repairs. Thanks for taking care of us Eric, we truly appreciate your personal attention to detail * I didn't include all the photos

Michael looked at it and said that he could fix it then and there. 15 minutes later it was done. When I asked him how much I owed him he said no charge. No charge - I was shocked. His reasoning was that I had driven a little way to get there and that it was his lunchtime. Even if I had paid I would be writing this review.

If I could give 0 stars, I would…read more We dropped our vehicle off on 6/21/26 for a scheduled calibration appointment on 6/22/26. On the morning of 6/22, we called to confirm that the keys we left in the drop box had been received. We never received a call that day indicating the work had been completed, so we called again on the morning of 6/23. During that call, we were told they weren't sure why the vehicle was there and had been waiting for someone to call. We were then informed that the calibration would be completed that day. When we picked up the vehicle on 6/23, my significant other noticed that one of the windows had been left down. When he attempted to roll it up, it would not operate properly. What was especially concerning was that no one informed us of this issue before we picked up the vehicle. The window had been left open with paperwork and personal items inside the vehicle, leaving them exposed and within easy reach of anyone passing by. At a minimum, we would have expected to be notified of the issue before taking possession of the vehicle. I called the business politely to ask if anything had happened while the vehicle was in their possession so we could provide accurate information to our mechanic. I was not accusing anyone of causing the issue; I was simply looking for information. Unfortunately, the manager immediately became defensive, raised his voice, and began yelling during the conversation. Rather than speaking to me professionally, he repeatedly interrupted me, called me names, and spoke to me in a hostile and disrespectful manner. He also told me that if I came into the business to discuss the matter further, he would have me arrested. At no point was I threatening or aggressive--I was simply trying to understand what had happened to my vehicle. He hung up on me twice, and when I was finally able to speak with him again, the conversation remained hostile and unproductive. Instead of addressing a legitimate customer concern, he chose to belittle me and treat me with complete disrespect. Regardless of whether the business was responsible for the damage, customers deserve to be treated with professionalism and courtesy. The lack of communication regarding our vehicle, combined with the manager's behavior, made this an extremely frustrating experience. We have contacted our insurance company regarding the damage and will also be filing complaints with the appropriate consumer agencies. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this business. The customer service was unprofessional, communication was poor, and concerns were met with hostility rather than assistance. Based on other reviews it seems this is an on going issue

I'm all for making your workers happy but they already get there pick of the litter as it is. well being i work in the field and service 45 to 54 cars a day I will be more then happy to pass along my experience to my customers. i will provide a contact info to a representative if needed. but its to late for them. far to many people selling stuff to get stuck on one if they are not willing to try.

DO NOT GO HERE. The mechanics themselves just want to do their jobs, but the manager dude (I guess…read morehis name is Josh?) is shady asf and talks down to women. Nick had previously resealed the transmission pan on my Subaru (it was leaking before when I had tried to seal it myself with an anaerobic sealant). So he fixed it, but it started leaking again. It's a known flawed design from Subaru (the pan doesn't use a gasket but just mates metal to metal) and so it's a common issue with subarus. Anyway, Josh tried to gaslight me and tell me that the leak was actually coming from the output shaft seal because "the wind was pushing the oil leak down and making it look like the pan was leaking." In reality, he just didn't want to redo the repair because it would cost him time x money on his own dime + expensive CVT fluid. He thought he could just gaslight me about what was happening as a solo female and I'd just pay up. Well, I didn't take his bs bait. This is exactly why I started doing my own repairs on my car because you can't trust these dudes. At the very least, Josh could've tried to work with me instead of starting an argument, like say "I can see why you'd think that and we can repair xyz at discounted rate and if the transmission pan is still leaking then we'll replace that on the house." You're not very good with zero customer service skills.
