Walter is simply the best mechanic if you have a German car and live in the Lafayette, Ind., area. (He works on Japanese models, too.) His son, Andy, is pretty good as well. I brought my Jetta TDI there for service several times, and they both were always fair with me. After I became a regular, Walter even let me use one of the numerous old Mercedes sitting around while he worked on my car. And when I finally decided to get a new car, he bought my TDI from me. I can't say enough good things about Walter and Andy. The only do... read more
Walter himself is a german import. The property is filled with project cars, many of which are destined to provide parts. It is a family business with "Mother" running the office and son Andy growing into the business. Walter has kept two cars of mine running for a total of about 600,000 miles. He treats the ladies especially well. With his old world sense of chivalry, a male customer is at a distinct disadvantage.
Ahhh Walter ! My family of 7 at the time were taking our maiden voyage in our 84' westy vanagon from Alexandria ohio to Bozeman Montana and all points in between. Just north of Indy , everything went dead. We searched for a place to work on our quirky vw and got a tow by 20 other shops to Walters . Knew we had done well when we pulled up to the 300 car lot of old vws and oddball imports. They pushed aside audis and such to get us right in. Took most of the day but fixed our old girl and got us back on the road. Walter had on... read more
well i'm thinking of buying an older bmw and i live in lafayette... of course i thought of walter and wanted to see if he was still in business. A decade or so ago, he fixed cv joints on my saab and did other excellent work on my vehicles. He has thick accent who has trained his sons (last i heard) in the art of german/swedish automotive repair/performance. You'll wait a long time, it won't be cheap, you'll have to deal with his wife if it's like it was in the 80-90's and she can be gruff. However, you'll be pleased with the... read more
I haven't lived in Lafayette for 30 years I remembered hearing good things about Walter's shop back in the day. While on a recent (2012) Thanksgiving trip to Lafayette My BMW 325i needed a water pump replaced. Not only did Walter get me in, he was friendly and helpful. Walter gave me an estimate and did not exceed the amount he stated. Parts installed were excellent OEM parts. My car was finished on time, (it was also a Saturday) very important since I needed to return to Wisconsin for work. Can't say enough!!! Highly recomm... read more
Excellent service. Very friendly and fair
I just had my Volvo repaired there last week and Walter is great! It is so nice to deal with honest, hard working people who not only know their business, but also love it. I would highly recommend them to anyone with an import; it would be in great hands. Keep up the good work!
Walter is the greatest mechanic I've ever had the pleasure of working with. He's fair, courteous, and far more knowledgeable than any mechanic I've ever been to. I don't take my car anywhere else. If you've got an older VW, this is the only man you should take your car to. Him and his team are by far top tier. Very very pleased by each experience I've had with him working on my car as well as offering advice. He's truly a great guy and a great, nice, awesome mechanic.
sweet place!!! had tons of fun looking around at some classic cars, they sold me a car that they redid the engine too and it runs great. good customer service, my only problem was the amount of time that it took them to finish it up. i had to call them nearly every day to check in and see how far they were. they also sell spare parts to nearly every foreign car!!!!! when my brother and i were buying my car, he was looking around finding some things that he was considering for his vw beetle. WARNING: not the place to go for a... read more
