Wally & Son Automotive

Nov 16, 2024

I've been searching for an honest and fair mechanic since I started driving and in all those years, never found one, until today. The Wally & Sons nechahucs were kind, prompt friendly, communicative, skilled and incredibly fair priced. They will be my mechanics from this day forward. Thank you for doing what you do!

Incredible family owned auto repair shop. Ruben the senior advisor is the best in the business, they are very honest and tell you your options. The technicians are superb and do things right. Just had a new engine built and put in by them in my Ford truck and all new parts as it should be and they warranty the parts and work they do. Customer service is outstanding. Been using them since around 1970 for all my vehicles. I won't go anywhere else.

Wally's peeps are a skilled & honest repair crew in Portland!

I have had my 2007 Subaru serviced at W & Son since 2019. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I follow their maintenance suggestions and feel confident that my car will always drive worry free. I highly recommend their competent work.

They took time out their day to give me a quick opinion and recommendation when I was pressed for time. I really appreciate the care they showed.

Felt like a dishonest shop to me. Seems like others disagree so, YMMV.

I had my 2016 F150 XLT inspected by them and was happy with the service. I hope to do more work with them in the future, thanks Wally & Son Automotive.

Nobody likes having to get their car repaired, but they've been fast, communicative and fair. Only place I'll go to.

Ruben was awesome. Very helpful crew

They don't try to repair things that don't NEED to be repaired/ fixed. They're very honest about what's going on with my car. Great customer service!!!!!

Do you guys still have the shop cats around? I loved them!

I have been going to Wally & Son for the past 15 years and they have worked on a variety of my cars over the years with extreme satisfaction. Very good work, they stand behind their work and are completely fair with options. Yes they are honest as well. If your looking for a family ran small local business these guys and gals shine!

Trustworthy, affordable service with excellent communication. Wouldn't take my vehicle anywhere else.

Wally & Son recently changed my timing belt and related parts, and also restored my car's suspension. I have been absolutely pleased with everything about their work, and have come to use them for all of our family's automotive service and repair requirements.

I have a 1985 Chevy as our second vehicle. Driven once or twice a week. It needed a serious carb overhaul to get it drivable and pass deq. I had more than one shop look at it without success over the past two years. I looked all over finally found this shop in Beaverton. They were recommended from other shops. I had a budget for the repair bill. I did have to wait to get it in the shop,. It it was worth it. They were able to diagnose it & fix the immediate issue, identify additional repairs, and the car passed deq. All under my budget. I am very appreciative of the work they did and they reached out to me with updates.

I have been coming to Wally and son for a few years now, two cars later and I completely trust all they have to say. They provide a prioritized list of things needed to be done, now... and in the future. Jamie really knows her stuff and explains it in a way I can understand. I had a vehicle that was needing some major upcoming repairs and she highly recommended I sell it before it becomes a major expense(more than the vehicle was worth). I got a second and third opinion and they all confirmed what she was saying. They even performed a pre-purchase diagnostic on the new (used) vehicle I bought, and provided a list of things it might need to use as leverage for a price reduction when purchasing. They all make you feel like family. Love these guys! And Jamie's dog! :)

If your looking for a shop to do things right, then look no further. Professional staff and knowledgeable technicians make it a pleasure to do business with.

Keith and daughter Jamie run a tight ship. We’ve been taking our range of cars there for over 25 years. Good service and dependable work done on time.

Dec 07, 2021

Really appreciate this place for its efficiency, timeliness, quality and friendliness. They don't attempt to "upsell" services which is greatly appreciated. They make good recommendations for what they see will be next to be serviced. I truly trust their advice and will use them again.

This place is a gem. My car recently started acting jumpy when I switched gears! The engine light came on. I decided to bring it in to Wally & Son because of the good reviews. They immediately diagnosed the problem and got it fixed, as well as helped work around my work schedule. Jamie in the office was super professional, flexible, and kind. On top of some spark plug issues, my tire light sensor had been on for MONTHS - multiple tire shops had told me the sensor was broken; tires were fine. But Wally & Sons was like, naw, your tires are set way too low! And filled them all up, reset the sensor, and it hasn't come back on since. Honestly, that seems like such a simple issue, but for someone who doesn't know much about cars who has been seemingly continuously taken advantage of, I was so happy to find a reputable shop. Since getting everything taken care of, my car has been running perfectly for about a month. I cannot say enough nice things about this shop. Totally worth it. Thank you guys!

First off, they do good solid work. Well trained mechanics. I will go back, but... I didn't know I had a bad experience 2 years ago until I went in today. *Flashback to 2 years ago* I thought my engine mounts were bad. They told me they were fine but my passenger side lower control arm is about to break off. The front bushing is bad on it. They said they could change it for $660. I thought it was steep for just a control arm, literally 4 bolts. Alignment too of course, not the most simple job but not that bad if you have the tools. Got it back and the wheel was slightly aligned to the left. It has gotten worse as the drivers side control arm bushings and ball joint have gotten bad. Annoying but whatever. *flashback to today* I brought it in to get the other control arm replaced for the same price. They just quoted me on the last jobs cost. After some hours had passed I called for an update. I was told that when he got in to do the work he noticed the ball joint was bad on that control arm. I was like...yeah of course, it is that's why I'm having you change it. He then told me that they didn't actually change the control arm on the other side. He brought out the receipt and there it was, they only did the bushing and charged me $668. I was under the impression the whole time that they did the control arm. Apparently they got a $130 bushing kit for it and didn't give me the other one since it came in a pair. I wouldn't have paid $668 for that. I wish they would have corrected me all the times I said that they changed the control arm when they just changed one bushing. Even when I called and asked 2x what work they did before they didn't tell me. I just don't understand how it happened. Make sure you are super duper clear on what you are getting done.

Had them do brakes and a concerning sound. The sound turned out to be an old hood latch squeeking greased that up and fixed it. When they could have easily taken me for an experience ride they didn't. Would i reccomend my own mother to them? Yes i would and i did.

Dec 07, 2020

Honest, thorough, speedy - can’t say enough about how great Wally & Son is. Can’t imagine taking my car for service anywhere else.

Dec 07, 2020

Wally & Son have made it possible to feel safe about having your auto service done. They are extremely careful. This is just like an old fashioned auto repair shop that does it all. I'm very particular about my vehicle and it's wonderful to know that they respect that. And to make it even better - it's the best price in town. Thank you so much!

Went in for a DEQ test. Called & Jaime was really informative & friendly. I drove there right after calling to check they were open and was done in about 15 minutes - and part of that was probably because I was busy holding the super friendly cat there. Supplied paperwork to finish up the process online with DEQ and got exactly what I needed. Definitely intending to go back for the oil change I'll need next month.
