Auto repair service near Maplewood, NJ

What an outstanding, ideal, model mechanic and business! After much research and speaking with several mechanics and repair techs, I found Walko Automotive to be the best solution to my bad hybrid battery. Walko Automotive helped replace my 2007 Toyota Prius battery in less than 2 hrs for THE MOST reasonable price. They offered a two year warranty and with their already outstanding business history, Master Tech certifications with hybrid vehicles (and any vehicle really), and a positive, family-oriented atmosphere, they were sure to deliver in every way you would expect the best and most trustworthy mechanic should. Thanks to Andy, Kyle, Diana and the rest of your team involved in helping solve this issue. You all have my business for life! :D :D :D -Julian Jenkins

I was forced to give one star to leave a review but they don't deserve 1 star! HORRIBLE!!!! I brought my car to Star Chrysler for repairs on 2/20/12 for a brake switch and a heated seat element. It took an unreasonable 2 1/2 weeks for my car to be repaired and on 3/7/12 when I arrived to pick it up, I found my car appallingly damaged. I found a dent on the passenger door, my leather seat was damaged (font and back), the back of the seat looked as if it was dragged along concrete and the molding and/or sill where the carpet ends on the driver’s side was terribly damaged as well. When I brought these damages to the attention of the service advisor Anthony, his response to my disappointment was "Things happen". I then refused to take my car in this condition and insisted on all damaged parts be replaced. As of today 3/13/12 my car is still at Star Chrysler. Anthony then informed me to speak to the service manger the following day and the service manager Steve was very arrogant, disrespectful and denied any wrong doing. I insisted all parts that were damaged by their technician be replaced he refused to do so. If I would have been aware that this company had a rating of "F" by the Better Business Bureau as well as many other online complaints regarding the damages they have done, I never would have brought my car there for service. My Chrysler Crossfire was in pristine condition inside and out when I left it at Star Chrysler (no scratches or dents on the outside and the inside looked brand new. I only have a little over 8,000 miles on my car. The service advisor also noted this on my estimate of repairs and/or claim check which I have in my possession. I remain in disbelief that they could attempt to return my car in the condition it was. I also tried to contact the owner, John and left numerous messages over a week’s time and he never returned my calls. I am very offended, displeased and saddened that they can get away with doing such hor
