I had such a great experience here, honestly one of the best I've had with any automotive shop. Really great service all around. The manager, Jose, is so great to work with - he was helpful, honest, kind, and made a big difference in my experience. You can tell he truly cares about the work he does. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend Walton's! read more

*** The Good *** Walton's took less than a day to do diagnostics on my car and charged only $75 to do that. They have great communication skills and exhibit no reason for me to doubt their honesty. *** The Bad *** Walton's could only take care of 1 of the 3 issues with my car (oil & fluid checks). For the other two issues (a catalytic converter replacement and a defective brake light socket) they gave me recommendations for other 3rd-party repair shops. This was disappointing (I was hoping for turnkey repair service), but I would rather have honesty (and schlep the car to 2 other places) than deception (and have them fumble their way to a poor repair that they weren't qualified for). This outcome could also have been due to my car being old (1998). Those of you with younger cars might still get the turnkey service I could not get. read more

Beware! While customer service and work quality is good. Walton's can be extremely overpriced. I've personally experienced quotes that were 50-70% higher than elsewhere. Friends have experienced the same. Beware! read more

Very honest do excellent work for a very fair price. They fix things the first time highly recommend

Had my brakes replaced there about 10 months ago and they started squeaking. They replaced the brakes and rotors without charge (I did not even get a chance to ask for that). This is my whole families mechanic because they care, they do great work, they are great communicators, and they back their work. I trust them. Go there! read more

Extremely expensive. Looking at similar quotes in the internet you can see that this place is extremely expensive without a good reasonable reason. read more

Clear and concise service. Quick service and thorough auto evaluations. Will work with what services you want rectified. Friendly neighborhood service. read more

They charged me $35 to take a nail out of my tire. Took 4 minutes. It's free at Discount tire stores and my guy in Lawndale. Seriously overpriced:(( I wished They would've told me before taking the nail out:(( read more

Set up an appointment with Dave the Manager. Awesome guy. Service was great. In time and great price. I'll definitely be bringing my wife's car . read more

I honestly want to give these people a hug, they saved my life. My keys fell out of my pocket back into my car while i was coming out of my car. My car, you have to manually lock it. Anyhoo they got it opened and their service was amazing! read more

I recently moved to the area and was nervous about finding a new mechanic after being burned by a few in the past. Leaving my family mechanic in Texas was tough, but I'm so glad I found Walton's Automotive. From my first visit, I felt the difference. Jose and the team were incredibly honest and trustworthy. They took the time to explain everything to me without trying to nickel and dime me like other places have in the past. It's refreshing to find a shop that prioritizes quality work and genuine customer care. I've gone back a couple of times just to ask for advice on my car, and they've always been helpful and straightforward. I can't recommend Walton's enough! If you're looking for a reliable mechanic, look no further--this is the place to go! Thank you, Jose and the Walton's team! read more

Service is great people are nice y helpful Great no pushing Engine I would go back any time read more

This place is the best!!! They have fixed my car multiple times quicker than I can imagine and no surprises with the price. In addition, they go out of their way to help me find lower priced tires, transmission, etc., and just recently they fixed my window for free because it wouldn't go up all the way. Couldn't say enough nice things about these incredible people!! read more

Great customer service! I would definitely go back, I had a nail in my tire and they had me back on the road quickly.

This is a great place. They are responsive, helpful, tenacious in their search for the issues, and always careful to provide value. I have had several experiences with the team that demonstrate their "customer first" attitude. They always work to make everything right. From patient repeated inspections and tinkering to find the issue, to going the extra mile to give your vehicle back as good or better then it has ever been. And always with respect, care and kindness. Can't recommend them more highly!!! I am a customer for life! read more

Wow - great honest people here. I brought my Honda HRV into Waltons to get a quote for a dented bumper. Jose was responsive and came to look right away - within minutes he had offered to try quickly popping the bumper out himself. He was on the ground and popped the dent out within minutes, then gave me some really solid advice on how to fix the scratches and very minor dent that was leftover, along with thoughtful comments on how to navigate any issues. All this in minutes, 100% honest, and they didn't ask me for a penny. I am really grateful for their help and honesty. Good people here. Shout-out Jose especially. read more

Recently when driving I heard a loud grinding & squealing noise which I knew couldn't be good. I don't know squat about cars but I knew I needed to find someone to take a look at it. I was just a few days away from making the 2,000 + mile trip back to the Midwest and wanted to be sure I was safe doing so. I called Walton's and the guys were awesome and friendly right from the start. I called on a Tuesday and was able to get it in and get it fixed the very next day. They were kind, helpful, and super willing to help make sure I was safe. I so appreciate them for getting my vehicle in so quickly and helping to ensure I have a safe return home. They even offered to give me a ride back to where I'm staying but because of their convenient location I hung out near a local restaurant and coffee shop until my car was done. read more

I seriously love these guys. They have been so helpful whether it's just for a tire check or a brake job. Jose, the manager, is the best. Fair, honest, reasonably priced for the repairs I've had done so far (brakes, oil change, tire repair) read more

Good to the core ! Waltons repaired my power steering box one year ago, the rebuild failed 14 months later. I went back and Supervisors Craig and Jose told me they'd take a look at it and work out a 'deal.' After a few days they found it to be a loose hose & fixed it - no charge !!! A huge shout out to the team & lead mechanic Jared, a very good an honest place for complete auto care read more

See all

Super honest, thorough, patient, and knowledgeable. All you can ask for in a mechanic and everyone is genuinely kind. Big deal or small concerns, always a 10/10 read more

Jose and the staff are amazing. Always there to lend a helping hand. A true professional and transparent operation. So many times they have checked and made quick repairs at no cost and when a major repair is required, Jose always calls and thoroughly explains the needed repairs and asks if the cost is doable. The team represents the true definition of a community business that truly care for their customers. You guys rock! read more

They get the job done but they're very overpriced. I called around to get my smog checked and 2 other places said it would take 15 minutes, one said it would be $49, and one said $55. I went to Waltons on accident thinking it was one of the places I called (that part is clearly my mistake) but it took an hour and a half and was $90, and they tried telling me that price was standard, even though it's clearly not based on other local shops. ALSO, I drove here because it was the closest mechanic to me around 2 years ago when my car battery died. so I went to buy a new battery from O'Reilly's and then went straight to Walton's to have it screwed in. They charged me $25 just to screw my new battery into my car. As a woman, I'm used to mechanics trying to charge me more thank it should be to work on my car. But throwing in remarks about it being standard when I've done my research and know that's incorrect is enough to compel me to write this review. read more

I've taken my car to both Waltons religiously since I bought it. They're incredibly friendly, but due to how busy they are they don't always offer quality work for everyone. Thank you for your help Walton's, please put covers over the interior pieces when you're taking them off. I liked it better without the scratches. read more

This review was long overdue. I can't thank Jose and the guys there for helping me out with my hatch. They were the only honest ones who fixed it, were efficient, & took care of me. I will be a returning customer for sure!! read more

They scam people. Had an issue with my coolant system a few months ago. They said I needed my water pump changed, along with other minor things. They wanted to charge me about $1000. I decided to not let them work on my car because it seemed super expensive . I took it to my mechanic in Compton, and it turned out to be a simple pipe that needed to be replaced, not my water pump. My Compton mechanic charged me $250. read more

I had my car serviced and repaired here, I got nothing but positive results. Jose and his staff are extremely professional and get the job done. I'm very confident with their work. Thanks to them my Cadillac cts runs at full performance. Price is fair compared to other local shops. read more

These guys are great. They fixed my flat in record time! I was in and out in 15 minutes.

Waltons is the best in the South Bay! Val the manager is the best guy ever. He was very happy to help me with my tire and with the nicest attitude too. Had it fixed and me out the door in no time. Thank you so much Val! I highly recommend Waltons. read more

Jose checked my car for battery/starter issues as soon as I arrived - no waiting! He determined that no service was necessary at that time and I later picked up my car at no cost. No unnecessary repairs were made. read more

Walton's is the best mechanic I have ever been to. Very honest, even recommending I buy the part I needed on Amazon because it would be less expensive than if they bought it! In addition, they are very friendly. I recommend them to all my friends, especially women because they have never taken advantage of my lack of knowledge regarding cars as other places have. read more

I had a dead battery around the block from here, asked for jump leads and they let me borrow a battery pack. I got the car jumped and bright the car back to the shop and they were Super friendly guys! They checked my tire pressure and all the warnings my car had after the battery failed. They helped me with the replacement battery all in less than 30 mins. read more

As a female who knows nothing about cars, except how to drive them and pump gas, finding a mechanic I could trust was not easy. I yelped Watons Automotive and am glad I listened to the reviews because I've found my go to mechanic spot! The guys there are knowledgeable, friendly, and always get me in when I've needed them. read more

Have been to them several times over the years, with in general good results for basic repairs - they're especially good for tires, basic repairs like alternators, etc - with a friendly staff as well - very recommendable In the past. But I may have pushed my luck too far - my 2017 Porsche Boxster had (what I thought) were 3 relatively straightforward items - a burned out headlight bulb, a cooling system warning message, and a faulty window control switch. And after two days and over $500, I was 0-for-3 - the new bulb has a noticeably bluer cast, their remedy for the coolant system was to just top it off and see if that worked (later two Porsche garages each diagnosed it in 5 minutes on the rack that the water pump was leaking) - and they could not locate a new window switch. A disappointing experience, and I had to start again on all items. read more

Amazing team of mechanics! They can diagnose and fix almost anything it seems! Reasonably priced, fast and issues haven't come back. Strongly recommend them. read more

The team over at Walton's has been amazing every single time I've gone in. These guys are professional, they take care of you and they do good work at a very reasonable price. I highly recommend them if you are a South bay resident. read more

To determine why my maintenance light went on and to fix a squeak when I backed the car up (caused during a prior visit to this shop), I brought my car in to Walton's Riviera Village, R.B., on 2/18/22. My prior experiences (plural) with this shop were good when Val Bugilan was managing; this time Craig Walton was up front. My convertible was taken on a joy ride. Further, I believe I was sold unnecessary products and services, along with the most expensive fixes instead of the less expensive ones I'm now hearing that I should have been offered. I was repeatedly offered products that I had already declined. Convertible Joy Ride: First, Mr. Walton or his workers took my convertible on a joy ride, all the way to Harbor City he said and for a total of 11 miles (let alone the waste of gas), not knowing that I had first written down the mileage. His excuse, when I called him on it, sounded made-up on the spot and was given after some hesitation--that it was necessary to see if my brakes for ok. Absolutely untrue. Further, this a breach of any client's trust, and in my opinion, of the law: breach of bailment. This is especially true since, as I first told Mr. Walton and Jose, the squeak only happened when I backed up. After backing it up, there was no need to take it more than around the block a few times. Since, after they'd had it for a day, the noise was worse and occurred now when the car went forward as well as backward, I even let it sit there overnight to see if cold was a problem. I don't know when the car was used for someone's fun: night-time or day. Also, Mr. Walton repeatedly tried to sell me services and products I didn't need, like 4 tires on the 2d day instead of the 2 he said I needed on the first, this instead of offering the less expensive option of rotating tires front to back due to the uneven wear. He pressured me, both days, a total of 5 times, over and over asking if I wanted tires, which I continued to decline. He repeatedly and at times successfully tried to get me to buy what I now think are unnecessary and higher-priced services and products, saying that I "probably" needed them: changing transmission fluid (around $144) but later acknowledging that the maintenance light only said an oil change was needed. Ditto with cabin and air filter (around $111). Also, instead of offering me the less expensive work on the current disc brakes pads, or new brakes, to tame the squeak, he at first only offered me the more expensive service of machine-turning the "rotors" to smooth them out. I fell for some of it and after requesting so, was not required to pay the $25 to rotate the tires. Mr. Walton tried to convince me that his buying and installing new brake pads for free was the benefit I got (a service costing around $290 I think he said). However, that's less that the $340 he charged me for the rotor machining that didn't work. So no, he gave me no financial benefit. At the end, Mr. Walton demanded to know why I was asking questions about my car and what was done so much. He started to get flustered and raised his voice. Then, saying he thought I was going to sue him, he loudly and rudely talked over me, saying he didn't have to listen to me now. What he wasn't hearing was me saying that I had no such intention--I had even recommended a friend to the shop. But maybe I should take him up on his suggestion; I'm a former consumer fraud civil prosecutor and I don't like the feeling I'm being strong-armed or taken advantage of. read more

I have gone to several mechanics. Each told me that the van was supposed to ride bumpy. I finally went Walton's after passing the shop daily. They drove it and pulled it in the stall. They put oil on all the rubber components of the suspension. Jose is the manager, told me to drive it for awhile to see how much better it drives. It drives so much better. I could replace those components if I wanted down the road. Love this family business. read more

Highly recommend - excellent service , transparent about cost (which was fair as confirmed with a family member that is an auto guy), communicative about process/timing, and helpful. I also appreciated them having masks on when they were talking with me today. Jose and Val were very knowledgeable. Lastly for women reading this: I did not feel like they took advantage of me not knowing much (at all) about cars - as previously mentioned, they taught me a few things. Thanks guys! read more

Great local place - took my truck here as I ran over a nail this morning. I was in and out in five minutes. Patched up for a nominal fair price and on my way. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for old school customer service and zero bullshit. I will be back if needed in the future. read more
