I originally came here for 2 gallons of Redline D6 ATF. No other places were selling the gallons. Other places were charging to much for quarts. I spoke to Walter, the owner who took me in the same day when another mechanic flaked on me. I did had to pay more since my 2014 Ford Fusion transmission fluid change is a little more of a process. Alex and the other staff were honest, nice and friendly and they helped me with informing me of other issues that I had.

I have had an excellent experience here. I have used this business multiple times and the owner and mechanics go above and beyond to provide excellent service, at a fair price. All my repairs have been done in a very timely manner and I have always been walked through any questions I may have. I would recommend this business to anyone.

I’ve been bringing my European cars with them for many yrs. I can say Walter is a good man and Alex’s experience and honesty is trustworthy

My check engine light came on a few days before my planned vacation. I drove straight to the shop with no appointment and Alex and his team diagnosed the problem, ordered the new-needed part and installed it all within a few hours. Happily, I can now drive my car to my vacation destination! Thank you for the speedy service.

My family and I have been going to Walter for decades -- he's seen me through nearly 2 decades of repairs and services with my 1983 Mercedes Turbo Diesel, and most recently, with the replacement of my Prius's stolen catalytic converter. He's also seen my folks through the lifespans of 2 Volvos and 2 Mercedes. The guys that work there are top notch, and I appreciate the time they take to walk me me through each process (I have no clue about cars or mechanics), carefully explaining what exactly it is that they will be doing. I do not EVER feel as if I am being upsold or taken advantage of! The turnaround time has been spot-on, and the cost of repairs are always consistently on par with -- or better than -- other well-known, quality mechanics in the area. I cannot speak highly enough of Walter Harding and his shop, and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I can only say , the job was well done. The car runs beautiful. I took in for a smog. I came out with a car running better than ever. This allowed me the full confidence in driving my car.

These guys are awesome, and very honest, which is a rare quality to find in auto repair shops! I highly highly recommend them.

W.E. Harding Co is one of the premier European auto repair shops that I have every come across in my 69 years of living. His lead mechanic, Alex is exceptional and very thorough. Highly recommend this establishment Mike

I needed to have my A/C compressor and A/C drier replaced and they did a great job. Quality service for an affordable cost. Glad I came here.

Professional and trustworthy! You feel confident that your car is in good hands. very warm and welcoming atmosphere with a friendly owner and mechanics. If you are looking for a trustworthy, reliable and honest mechanic, just grab the phone, give them a call and from your very first conversation, you'd realize why you should give them a try and bring your car here rather than corporate, rushed, human-less dealer. I genuinely enjoyed the conversation with the owner and how well versed he is in helping his customers. I highly recommend them.

They noticed a problem on my Toyota 4Runner, quickly and correctly diagnosed the problem and got it fixed. Quick and easy.

Try to charge me 450$ for parts that cost 201.99 cents at any auto parts store. Talk about a mark-up.
Nov 17, 2021
Very friendly staff. Pleasure to do business with them. Will be bringing my bmw to them when ever it needs maintenance.

Most honest and genuinely concerned about people and their safety business I have ever met! Walter and his team are sincere, incredibly knowledgeable and detail oriented and will treat you with the highest respect and professionalism. Walter has maintained all my vehicles for over 40 years and I take my new car to him instead of the dealer for premium quality care. I highly recommend W.E. Harding and Associates for your automotive needs. You will not be disappointed.

The owner Walter and his workers are very friendly and have great customer service skills they are also very knowledgeable on German cars

This place came highly recommended to me, and that recommendation was very well deserved. Walter fit me in on a busy Friday, for a transmission fluid/filter change & brake job, and had my car ready by the end of the day, as promised. During the repairs, he kept me updated on the progress and other issues they found. His extensive knowledge of German cars is impressive (he has been in business since 1965), and I greatly appreciated his honesty and fair pricing. I'm very happy with the work that his shop performed on my BMW, and highly recommend his repair services.👍

Very great honest and detailed man. Helped me through the phone and I was able to describe every situation with my car and he was able to let me know parts cost and labor . I explained to them I didn’t have much money to spend and they told me not to worry about it that either way will work with each other . Great place . Having my car towed right now .

took my car in to get looked at when the engine kept overheating. Walter (friendly shop owner) took the time to explain how my car's head gasket was blown and estimated the cost at 3k. Then we went into his office where he showed me where i could try going into a car buyback program and get myself another car altogether. will definitely come back once i find a new car
