I have never met Tim, but I trust him explicitly. My daughter is a Pitt student & we live in NJ. She had taken her car to Walter’s Automotive on a couple of occasions for minor repairs. He always did just what was needed without any “creative” solutions to phantom problems. Then 2 weeks ago, my daughter had a freak accident on I - 279. She hit some debris on the highway that flew up into the engine and put a hole in the oil filter. The damage was done quickly. Not knowing where else to tow the car, she had it towed to Walter’s Automotive. The next morning, Tim called to say he tried to repair it by putting a new oil filter & 4 quarts of oil in it, but it really needed a new engine. They do not do that kind of work, but he was so helpful I could not believe it. Not only did he let us keep the car at his place for 5 days, but he went out of his way to help me find another shop that would do a quality repair job. He was not going to make any money on the repair, but he still treated the situation like it was his own daughter’s car. It was such a relief to a dad 300 miles away that my daughter’s car was in such good hands. I wish I had a mechanic I could trust like Tim in NJ.
