Wahl’s Auto Service

We’ve spent thousands here getting all the works done on our car, great garage, always looks out for the customer! Prices are always reasonable too, highly recommend!

I have been to Wahl’s Auto Service for my state inspection and emissions for the past two years. The first time, I called and was squeezed in the same day by the owner, Eddie. He was very professional, efficient and fair with pricing. The inspection was done within 2 hours or so and picking it up and paying was a breeze. This year, I called a day in advance and after asking what kind of car I have, was told that it would be no problem and to just drop it off in the morning. This time around, I was greeted by the owner’s son, Anthony, who was very kind and personable. I thought it was nice that he checked to make sure that I had remembered to take my house keys off of my key ring when handing over the keys to my vehicle. I live nearby, so I walked home to wait for it to be done and got a call within minutes of walking in the door. Fastest inspection ever! I was also able to save $ 10 on emissions because my car is low mileage. Everyone working in the garage seemed to be working hard and were friendly. As other reviewers have said, they treat young women as normal customers, where some auto shops try to price gouge women because we often stereotypically «know nothing about cars». Hopefully I won’t need repair work done on my car, but if I do, I will go to Wahl’s, and I will continue to patronize them for routine inspections and maintenance, now that my free dealership maintenance has ended!

This place is awesome. When I called to schedule a state inspection, they had me in within the hour. Tim is great and seems to really care about his work and the quality of his service. As a 22 year old female who knows nothing about cars and doing this on my own for the first time, I really felt well taken care of. I highly recommend this place!

This is by far the best auto garage I have ever taken my car to. They were able to fit me into their schedule fast and efficiently. I needed my car inspected, and they were able to look at it the next morning. They were honest with their prices and fixed my car that same day. I have been here multiple times, and the mechanic Anthony is the absolute best! I highly recommend going to this auto repair shop.

Love these guys! They took great care of both of my cars quickly when I was running late on my inspections. Did inspection, emissions, and oil change on both cars plus a repair on one of them. That was a little over 2 months ago and the cars are running smoothly. Prices were extremely affordable, especially compared to the corporate «quick oil change» places. Lookin at you, Jiffy Lube. They didn’t do or recommend anything I didn’t need and they didn’t treat me differently for being a woman (yes, that still happens to me everywhere else I go for auto care). No question they are my auto shop from here on out!

Great place to get your car inspected and fixed. Always fair and down to earth. Nice to have someone you trust in the neighborhood.

I needed an inspection for my 2002 Subaru, which could have had a lot of «flaws,» but no such thing. I paid for the inspection, a few light fixes, and a lot of friendliness. He only had 5 star ratings and the ones in my neighborhood had mostly good, but who wants even ONE complaint? Nice folks, excellent service!

I took my car in the weekend of the 4^th of July for some repairs including 2 wheel bearing replacements. I think they were swamped and very busy this particular weekend, but I didn’t feel that my car was handled with care and when I received it back, the original issue wasn’t fixed and I had to take it to another garage to have the wheel bearing properly replaced.
Also, as a side note, it was incredibly difficult to find the key drop because it’s not readily apparent (we walked around the business three times before finally seeing it was just a slot on the garage door,) and because it’s located in the Southside, finding parking at this particular garage was almost impossible and I felt unsure about leaving my car on the street for a few nights.
Overall, not a great experience and definitely over-​paid for the service I received.

The only place I have found that has realistic hours.
open at 8 and closed at 5… every other place around the south side seems to do the 9 to five thing.
you know, we have jobs too ya know.
anyway, this place has been honest a reasonably priced.
they, also, fixed my car.

This is one of the best garages in the city without a doubt. It requires one call to the shop and they get you in as soon as they can and prices are definitely the best in town. The best places are the places you hear nothing about, it’s a good and a bad thing because everybody should know about this garage.
I am friends with the owners son and any time I have any issue with my car or even a friends car he is the first person I go to. Absolutely takes care of anyone who is ever recommended to the shop and they love the business. Ed Wahl (the owner) is a great guy and is somebody who just loves what he does and wants people on the road with their repairs and soon, AS SAFE, and as cheap as possible. Great people down there with a ton of years of experience.
Love this place!!!

Great service. After years of looking for a reliable auto shop, I finally found one. Took my car for an inspection. It took them less than an hour to have it done, without paying any extra money for repairs. They are awesome. I will definetely be back in the future with all my car issues. Keep up the good work!

After seeing all the rave reviews I cancelled the appointment with my dealership and decided to try Wahl’s. I went in for a state inspection today and was met with friendly, efficient service from Eddie and the crew. It’s so nice not to be met with a shop that is looking for something, anything to fix and get more money — they are honest and they look out for of their customers. So happy to have a place like this in the neighborhood! I will be back with any future auto service needs!

I have taken my car here for numerous issues, and every time the owner has been very kind and honest. I have an old car, and just trying to keep it going and the owner is understanding and works with me to keep the car running. I trust him and the shop and will continue to go there for my car needs, while also supporting local business.

My daughters attend the University of Pittsburgh and had a car problem. The engine of their 1999 Toyota Avalon overheated. It was also time for the car’s state inspection. My wife & I had planned to visit that weekend so I went to Advance Auto Parts in Southside to pick up some coolant. While I was there I asked for a reliable garage. They mentioned several nearby places. One of them was Wahl’s Auto Repair — just a couple of blocks away. Normally, I would have waited till our girls were home to take it to a garage that I trust for the state inspection but because it had just needed coolant — I wanted the car checked out before my daughters drove a long distance (we live 5 hours away). I was nervous about getting raked across the coals by a garage that would realize we were from out of the area. To make a long story short — I was so completely satisfied with Wahl’s service that I would almost be willing to make a 5 hour trip to have them service my wife’s & my cars. They checked out the coolant system, found no leaks and they did the state inspection and found no issues. Our total bill was less than $ 150. Honesty and integrity along with competence in any profession are all factors that for make a great business experience. I had a great business experience with Wahl’s and would highly recommend them to anyone.

Take your car here. They are awesome. I gave the owner for the repair too many large bills that he couldn’t break, so he was like, «Whatever, you keep the rest, I’ll take less». They fixed my breaks super, super quickly, and I needed the whole shebang like pads and rotors. Anytime I call this place, they try to get me in quickly without knowing who I am.
It is hard to get a spot on the street to park your car so be prepared for that, but they do great work and give great advice. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I called up for an inspection towards the end of the month and they had no trouble squeezing me in. Staff was friendly and helpful. I plan to come back next year.

22 year old daughter, new in South Side, trouble with her 05 Grand Cherokee. I told her that I’d look on Unilocal to see if there was a well-​reviewed garage near her. Looked here, found this place, and gave them a call. I explained that my daughter was new in town, knew nothing about cars, and was nervous about taking it in. They said to have her stop by. Net result was the car was fixed expeditiously and inexpensively. She now has a relationship with a good local garage, and you simply cannot beat that.
Thanks from dad in Massachusetts!

Very happy with them — finding a place in the city is a bit challenging to trust, but I“m glad I found Wahl’s. After another repair place had damaged my car they were able to take my car right away and look to see what happened. I didn’t require it back quickly, so after a few days they realized the issue and worked to get it fixed up.
Friendly and convenient — I’ll use them again.

I came here for my state inspection. The guy that helped me out (I think it was Eddie –the boss) dropped me off at home and adjusted my E-​brake, fixed a fog lamp, and checked out my master cylinder without any additional charges.
This seems like a pretty damn good place to take your car.
I will give them 5 stars if the next experience is just as good. For more reviews check out google.
