Great guys! As a woman, I've always been wary of taking my car places without my dad or someone else as backup, but never here. They are honest, look at exactly what you need and never try to up sell you. I've only been here for regular maintenance like oil change, inspection, brakes, so not sure about more complex tasks, but they have been great for this!! read more

Very happy with them - finding a place in the city is a bit challenging to trust, but I"m glad I found Wahl's. After another repair place had damaged my car they were able to take my car right away and look to see what happened. I didn't require it back quickly, so after a few days they realized the issue and worked to get it fixed up. Friendly and convenient - I'll use them again. read more

Just got my brakes and rotors done here. They are fast, friendly, and efficient. Definitely planning to get all of my work done here for the foreseeable future. Thank you guys! read more

Great service, honest and trustworthy. Reasonable prices. Fantastic family-owned business!

There are utterly no words for this establishment. Let's first off state that I simply chose this place off the reviews of fellow yelpers. There was a specfic review from a father out of state that praised them on taking care of his daughter in his absence. So, I felt good about getting my car looked at. I went on Friday and asked a young man if they had time to look at my car today or on Monday. He said Monday he could look at it. I have to be at work at an obscene hour, so I dropped off my keys in the key slot with a note attached. I have class until 450pm and I haven't heard from them at all. I made sure to leave my contact info in the note. Finally after several attempts of calling, a man finally answered. I told him who I was and asked about my car. He asked where I parked it which was an indicator that they didn't even bother to look at it. I should of known from that to go to another place. However, my time is limited and I need my car for work. I don't hear from them at all on Tuesday, so I call, call, call, and again no answer. Wednesday comes around and I, the customer initiate the call again. They're not picking up. Finally a man gets on and reports that he took it out and heard some unsettling things but he'd know more tomorrow. Thursday, bloody Thursday. I initiate the customer service for my vehicle by picking up the phone again. Only this time I'm flabbergasted. I call and call and call (no answer machine or receptionist) a man answers and I say who I am and ask about my car. He proceeds to tell me he gave the car to my boyfriend. Yes you read that right my boyfriend. Hold up, check the record, and let's try this again. 1) you never initiated any phone calls with customer (me) about my vehicle. 2) It took you 3 days to give me information about my car and actually look at it. 3) When I did get someone on the phone, not once did I say anything about a boyfriend. 4) I did not leave written permission in my note to give my car to anyone but myself. I say all that to say that I told the gentleman that I don't have a boyfriend...so WHO IN THE WORLD did you give my car to? The man said I'll call you back in 10 minutes. 10 minutes go by, 20 minutes go by, 30 minutes go by, and finally 45 minutes later after my co-workers wonder why I'm so calm I call back (no surprise there). They tell me they're checking their cameras and that it was all so weird because the guy they gave my keys to knew my name and my car and what was going on. I then ask, if it's company policy for them to give keys to someone's car without their consent or permission. The response to that was, but he knew your name and your car, the keys were attached to the clipboard. They said you're going to have to call the city police and report your car as stolen. They never took responsibility for their actions. Needless to say with my own investigative skills I found out who had my car. If I were you I'd steer clear of this "business". Believe it's not worth the headache, stress, or police reports to get your car looked at!!!!! read more

This place is fantastic. We highly recommend Ed. Great guy. Honest. Fast. He tries to get you in quickly. Very fair prices. You can trust them. Esther Dormer read more

I came here for my state inspection. The guy that helped me out (I think it was Eddie --the boss) dropped me off at home and adjusted my E-brake, fixed a fog lamp, and checked out my master cylinder without any additional charges. This seems like a pretty damn good place to take your car. I will give them 5 stars if the next experience is just as good. For more reviews check out google. read more

Have been taking my cars here for years. Small, family owned business in the heart of South Side. I've had many friends bring there vehicles in and also be pleased with their service. Honest, hardworking, and well priced. Bring your car to Ed and Anthony! You won't be disappointed. read more

22 year old daughter, new in South Side, trouble with her 05 Grand Cherokee. I told her that I'd look on Yelp to see if there was a well-reviewed garage near her. Looked here, found this place, and gave them a call. I explained that my daughter was new in town, knew nothing about cars, and was nervous about taking it in. They said to have her stop by. Net result was the car was fixed expeditiously and inexpensively. She now has a relationship with a good local garage, and you simply cannot beat that. Thanks from dad in Massachusetts! read more

Take your car here. They are awesome. I gave the owner for the repair too many large bills that he couldn't break, so he was like, "Whatever, you keep the rest, I'll take less". They fixed my breaks super, super quickly, and I needed the whole shebang like pads and rotors. Anytime I call this place, they try to get me in quickly without knowing who I am. It is hard to get a spot on the street to park your car so be prepared for that, but they do great work and give great advice. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Great option for an oil change. Friendly and fast service, and reasonably priced at $39.99. The service is very reliable and convenient. The shop is conveniently located on the south side parallel to Carson street. read more

Awesome! Affordable! Reliable! Trustworthy! I was referred to Ed years ago by a friend of the family & have taken all my vehicles to him since. read more

I have went there MANY times!! Many. Ed and his crew are truly experienced professionals! He is HONEST and has very fair pricing. He won't steer you wrong, if he tells you that something needs addressed, then it NEEDS addressed. Very honest hard working man. It is very hard to find an honest mechanic that I can trust, but Ed IS that guy. Do not hesitate to use. Have used him for 6+ years, on 3-4 of my (older) used vehicles. He is very busy, but he will get you in asap/within a few days, if not that day. read more

This is one of the best garages in the city without a doubt. It requires one call to the shop and they get you in as soon as they can and prices are definitely the best in town. The best places are the places you hear nothing about, it's a good and a bad thing because everybody should know about this garage. I am friends with the owners son and any time I have any issue with my car or even a friends car he is the first person I go to. Absolutely takes care of anyone who is ever recommended to the shop and they love the business. Ed Wahl (the owner) is a great guy and is somebody who just loves what he does and wants people on the road with their repairs and soon, AS SAFE, and as cheap as possible. Great people down there with a ton of years of experience. Love this place!!! read more

Love these guys! They took great care of both of my cars quickly when I was running late on my inspections. Did inspection, emissions, and oil change on both cars plus a repair on one of them. That was a little over 2 months ago and the cars are running smoothly. Prices were extremely affordable, especially compared to the corporate "quick oil change" places. Lookin at you, Jiffy Lube. They didn't do or recommend anything I didn't need and they didn't treat me differently for being a woman (yes, that still happens to me everywhere else I go for auto care). No question they are my auto shop from here on out! read more

After seeing all the rave reviews I cancelled the appointment with my dealership and decided to try Wahl's. I went in for a state inspection today and was met with friendly, efficient service from Eddie and the crew. It's so nice not to be met with a shop that is looking for something, anything to fix and get more money - they are honest and they look out for of their customers. So happy to have a place like this in the neighborhood! I will be back with any future auto service needs! read more

I took my car in the weekend of the 4th of July for some repairs including 2 wheel bearing replacements. I think they were swamped and very busy this particular weekend, but I didn't feel that my car was handled with care and when I received it back, the original issue wasn't fixed and I had to take it to another garage to have the wheel bearing properly replaced. Also, as a side note, it was incredibly difficult to find the key drop because it's not readily apparent (we walked around the business three times before finally seeing it was just a slot on the garage door,) and because it's located in the Southside, finding parking at this particular garage was almost impossible and I felt unsure about leaving my car on the street for a few nights. Overall, not a great experience and definitely over-paid for the service I received. read more

We've spent thousands here getting all the works done on our car, great garage, always looks out for the customer! Prices are always reasonable too, highly recommend! read more

Great place to get your car inspected and fixed. Always fair and down to earth. Nice to have someone you trust in the neighborhood.

I waited till the last minute to get my inspection done, called down there and they squeezed me in. Very friendly group of guys, who got me in and out! read more

I have been going to Wahl's for around 29 years. Always did me right. It's hard to find a decent auto repair shop, and this place is the best. read more

This place is awesome. When I called to schedule a state inspection, they had me in within the hour. Tim is great and seems to really care about his work and the quality of his service. As a 22 year old female who knows nothing about cars and doing this on my own for the first time, I really felt well taken care of. I highly recommend this place! read more

I have been to Wahl's Auto Service for my state inspection and emissions for the past two years. The first time, I called and was squeezed in the same day by the owner, Eddie. He was very professional, efficient and fair with pricing. The inspection was done within 2 hours or so and picking it up and paying was a breeze. This year, I called a day in advance and after asking what kind of car I have, was told that it would be no problem and to just drop it off in the morning. This time around, I was greeted by the owner's son, Anthony, who was very kind and personable. I thought it was nice that he checked to make sure that I had remembered to take my house keys off of my key ring when handing over the keys to my vehicle. I live nearby, so I walked home to wait for it to be done and got a call within minutes of walking in the door. Fastest inspection ever! I was also able to save $10 on emissions because my car is low mileage. Everyone working in the garage seemed to be working hard and were friendly. As other reviewers have said, they treat young women as normal customers, where some auto shops try to price gouge women because we often stereotypically "know nothing about cars". Hopefully I won't need repair work done on my car, but if I do, I will go to Wahl's, and I will continue to patronize them for routine inspections and maintenance, now that my free dealership maintenance has ended! read more

Took my 2005 sebring to a place they wanted $620 to do both control arms,my co worker told me about wahls and i ask for a quote $200 cheaper,did a good job gonna take my daughters car there for some work and I'll be customer of them for now on.. read more

My daughters attend the University of Pittsburgh and had a car problem. The engine of their 1999 Toyota Avalon overheated. It was also time for the car's state inspection. My wife & I had planned to visit that weekend so I went to Advance Auto Parts in Southside to pick up some coolant. While I was there I asked for a reliable garage. They mentioned several nearby places. One of them was Wahl's Auto Repair - just a couple of blocks away. Normally, I would have waited till our girls were home to take it to a garage that I trust for the state inspection but because it had just needed coolant - I wanted the car checked out before my daughters drove a long distance (we live 5 hours away). I was nervous about getting raked across the coals by a garage that would realize we were from out of the area. To make a long story short - I was so completely satisfied with Wahl's service that I would almost be willing to make a 5 hour trip to have them service my wife's & my cars. They checked out the coolant system, found no leaks and they did the state inspection and found no issues. Our total bill was less than $150. Honesty and integrity along with competence in any profession are all factors that for make a great business experience. I had a great business experience with Wahl's and would highly recommend them to anyone. read more

I have taken my car here for numerous issues, and every time the owner has been very kind and honest. I have an old car, and just trying to keep it going and the owner is understanding and works with me to keep the car running. I trust him and the shop and will continue to go there for my car needs, while also supporting local business. read more

Great service. After years of looking for a reliable auto shop, I finally found one. Took my car for an inspection. It took them less than an hour to have it done, without paying any extra money for repairs. They are awesome. I will definetely be back in the future with all my car issues. Keep up the good work! read more

This place is wonderful! My engine was sounding awful and my "service engine soon" light had come on (and then turned back off) a few days prior, so I took my SUV here. Turns out, all I needed was to have one of my rusted engine heat shields removed, which they did for a mere $20. They could have easily convinced me that I needed more work done, or at least needed a new shield, but they were very honest with me, which, as a woman in my 20s, I very much appreciated. I will DEFINITELY come back here in the future! read more

I needed an inspection for my 2002 Subaru, which could have had a lot of "flaws," but no such thing. I paid for the inspection, a few light fixes, and a lot of friendliness. He only had 5 star ratings and the ones in my neighborhood had mostly good, but who wants even ONE complaint? Nice folks, excellent service! read more

This is by far the best auto garage I have ever taken my car to. They were able to fit me into their schedule fast and efficiently. I needed my car inspected, and they were able to look at it the next morning. They were honest with their prices and fixed my car that same day. I have been here multiple times, and the mechanic Anthony is the absolute best! I highly recommend going to this auto repair shop. read more
