Walton’s Automotive Group

I have taken my older Audi A4 to Waltons for over a year now. This car has had various problems starting with my hood that wouldn’t open to the timing belt and then what I thought was the radiator Jose and Mike are the most helpful and professional mechanics that I have ever worked with. They go above and beyond to find out what is wrong. They have on all occasions offered the least costly option putting in more hours then they have charged to find the best solution. Mike worked very hard to open my hood and fix it when the cable broke. On my last visit, I had to get my car towed into the shop because it overheated on the 405. It looked like it was the radiator and in fact they ordered one the next day. Then after Jose looked closer he realized it was a hose. They were truly happy to return the expensive part and tell me the good news. This is a shop where you can trust that they have the customers interest on the top of their mind. I will need to get a new more reliable car soon and hope I won’t need them for awhile. But I’m glad to know they are there if needed

Used to bring my car here all the time. The oil change price would vary by $ 10-​$ 15 each time. Ok didn’t bother me. Then they tell me I need to do the brakes, $ 350. I said no thanks I’ll do it myself. Take it to my uncle who is a mechanic and he gets it set and then tells me there’s plenty of pad left on the brake, no need to change it yet.

I got a flat tire on a Friday night and had a full day planned for Saturday. I called at about 8:30 PM to find out what time they opened on Saturday and to my surprise, someone answered and said to come on over. In about 10 minutes I was patched up and ready to go. I was so thankful for the quick, courteous service and I would definitely return to them for future car care needs. You saved my weekend, Walton’s!

5 stars for the service and professionalism! Thank you so much Jose you saved our day! We will come back to get new tires here.

I’ve brought my car here for years and have always had a positive experience. They always talk me through any concerns or issues that may be going on with my car. I always refer my friends to Waltons for any repairs they need.

I’ve brought me and my girlfriend’s car here for years now they are GREAT!!! We have never had any issues with our cars and we drive alot. They do everything from our brakes to our oil changes and tune ups to replacing our windshield wipers and checking our tire pressure. We have 2 young kids and drive a lot from school to sports and babysitter so I take my cars care serious and I always recommend them to all my friends and clients in the South Bay Redondo area!

I recently had some service done by these guys and I couldn’t be happier. The guys were super friendly, rates were definitely reasonable and I didn’t feel like I was being taken advantage of. They were able to diagnose what the problems were with my car that another mechanic failed to figure out. Happy to be back on the road again!

I took my car here last August for a simple oil change. Nothing fancy. I normally go to Jiffy Lube – where I’ve never had any issues – but I had recently brought my car back to LA and wanted to support a local business.
Anyway, long story short, it turns out the chap who did the oil change didn’t put the drain plug back on properly and all the oil gradually leaked out. Unfortunately, I discovered this the next day while driving from LA to the Bay Area, and I had to pull over while on the 152 West (along the Pacheco Pass). Had to pay $ 200 to get towed 30 miles to Gilroy, and another $ 150 to the mechanic there to diagnose and fix the issue. And pretty much cost me an entire work day.
The only reason I’m giving 2 stars instead of 1 is that Walton’s reimbursed me for those costs as well as the cost of the original oil change almost immediately. But still, this was my first and last time taking my car there. Most definitely will not be back.

Brought my girlfriends car here for a battery and car mirror replacement. They did a good job, cost about 300 bucks, so ok.
Brought my car in just to have the spark plugs replaced (I already purchased the parts) and asked about the fuel filter. Quoted $ 375 (3.5 hours labor) just to change out the spark plugs. How the hell do spark plugs cost $ 375 to change on a Camry? I called 2 other places and they both quoted a minimum of $ 200 less than the Walton quote. Ended up paying $ 145 at a shop that specializes in Toyota and Lexus cars.
My recommendation? Absolutely call around after these guys quote you a price.

Have been having problems with my 1998 Izusu Oasis minivan for several months. My regular mechanic (I live in the Malibu/​Agoura area) had my car for two weeks but could not diagnose it. I even had another mechanic say they couldn’t even work on it due to parts being unavailable! Problem was every time I took my car to my mechanic, it would work fine. He said that unless the car was acting up he wouldn’t be able to figure out what was wrong. Not Jose at Walton’s! He jumped in the car and started yanking on wires under the dash and was able to duplicate the issue and after a day figured out what the problem was! From now on I am driving to Redondo to get my car worked on!!!

Just moved to area. Needed oil and tires checked to go to Arizona. On Friday of Memorial Day Weekend there were a lot of cars in lot waiting to be serviced. Jose stopped and checked my car right away. Tires needed a little air and needed half quart of oil. They charge me $ 2.50. How do you beat that service and price?

Prices are always fair. Tech was very sharp. Identified the problem very quickly. I was back on the road the following day. I service all of my company vehicles with Walton now.

These guys are fantastic! Always super friendly and fast. I’ve stopped in numerous times for minor fixes – windshield wiper blades that I couldn’t seem to put on myself, and I had a loose mirror that they fixed all on the spot and without charging. When I have had work done they have been reasonably priced – right in line with everyone else around here. They are always done fast and aren’t overly aggressive in trying to fix and recommend more than is necessary at the time. Love Walton’s!

Great place to get your car serviced or repaired and GREAT to have someone local you can trust. Their prices are reasonable and their service fantastic, several times they have gone out of their way to get a repair done for me in the short time frame between school pickups. I find them honest and upfront which all anyone wants.

Without even checking my car first, I was quoted $ 500 labor before actual parts cost. Shady.

Leo is great. I called up cause some punk had tried to rip off my windshield wiper. I had gotten a replacement from a junkyard and called to see if they could help me fix it. Leo answered and said no problem come on it and let me take a look. He had it fixed in no time flat. Replaced my wiper arm and even noticed my old blade was better than the junk yard one so switched it out. I had a crying baby in the car and a barking dog. I was in and out in minutes flat and he was such a gentleman the entire time. Thanks man. I will be back and promote your shop like crazy.

Leo is very resourceful and his intelligence and foresight, in my case, saved me $ 250+!!!
My car’s right wing mirror was smashed, but not the entire assembly. I was missing the glass and some plastic mountings just behind it.
Taking it to another mechanic I was quoted $ 320. I was told to bring it by Walton’s, and after a quick telephone call to Honda’s parts department, where Leo asked not for the entire assembly but only for the small mirror part, he wrote down the part number and instructed me to fetch the part myself from Honda, a ten minute drive away. I paid $ 51.
When I returned, he literally snapped the piece in himself. 45 seconds, and he was done. He didn’t ask for anything!
Highly recommend.

Leo has to be one of the best mechanics I have dealt with. Very fast work, they can almost guarantee when the work can be done, and they get the work done.
We had brake issues, and within 4 hours the brakes were done, along with an oil change and replacing lights throughout the interior and exterior of the car.
It’s nice to have a mechanic close to home who can get the work done quickly and efficiently.

I recently drove cross country from Florida in a 2003 Saturn with high mileage. I honestly had no idea who to take it to… and delayed repairs way too long. After talking to several neighbors in the area and Unilocal, I decided to try Walton Automotive
Everything I read and heard was right on target. The team was incredible from the time I brought the car in till the end.
The car was making a horrible grinding noise which I knew was the bearings, one was completely worn and the other was almost there. Along with a belt that was ready to go, water in the brake fluid (I thought I needed new pads), and a coolant flush which was long overdue.
Since I was on a serious budget due to the move, they were able to work with me. I was given a list of what needed to be done immediately and what could wait… and a timeline it should be completed by to keep the car safe on the road. I compute daily to Pasadena.
Leo and his team have been fantastic and anyone should feel confident to bring their vehicle there.

The only reason i’m not giving 5 stars is because no one or business is perfect. I’ve used Walton’s for both of our cars for a while now.
The service has consistently been fantastic. I recently had them replace a bad alternator in my ’03 MazdaSpeed Protégé and about 4 weeks down the road my ‘check battery’ light came on again. I called Leo and he told me to bring it in for testing. Sure enough the new alternator had failed, Leo ordered a new one and had it installed that same day.
I’ve had them do very extensive work (frozen brake calipers, leaking transmission, replace belts, turn rotors, flush coolant etc…) on my wifes previous car, ’04 SES Taurus to keep it in top condition and safe to drive. Before we sold the car to some friends Leo was kind enough to run a saftey inspection on the car to ensure that nothing was dangerously wrong with the car. We got the report back and shared it before selling it. An invaluable service as we wanted to ensure our friends that we weren’t selling a bad lemon.
They are helpful, knowledgale and out to do more than simply make a buck. They are truely a part of this community. If every mechanic was like this car ownership would be as fun for everyone else as it is for me.
Pro’s:
— They are honest
— Do great work
— Back up their work if something goes wrong or breaks they take ownership and fix it
— Easy going
— Overall great shop
— Knowledgable, yet to see them turn down work because they didnt have the skill set
Con’s
— Lots of people know they are great so during busy season it can be hard to get quick work done
