Vander Wal's Garage Inc.

Wow!! I genuinely cannot rave about the folks at this shop. Truly some of the kindest, most generous and wonderful people. We were traveling from the Oregon Coast to Olympic to shoot a wedding when we started experiencing some transmission issues. This happened around 4:00 on a weekday and no one would see us. We were shooting the wedding the next morning and called every mechanic within a 10 mile radius. Thank goodness Sue answered. We told her how urgently we needed help and she was so kind and told us to come in immediately. They bent over backwards to help us make it. Don and Sue are absolute angels and genuinely care about the folks that come to their garage. Sue was so communicative and Don was amazing. They diagnosed our car and highlighted some other important issues for us to address when we got back home to make sure we didn’t end up in the same situation again. The work they did was top notch and they treated us so kindly. I really can’t sing their praises enough. If we lived in the area, they’d be our go-to. These folks are incredible, generous, and extremely knowledgeable. HIGHLY recommend them!

These guys are the best. Honest, knowledgeable, and great to work with. They treated us like family and did everything to get us back on the road. Halfway through our drive we ran into some pretty intense car issues. We were so stressed and Sue and Don took such great care of us. The quality of their work was great, and the customer care they provided was absolutely beyond. We’re so grateful to them and highly recommend their services.

Had my Mini Cooper brought there and I picked it up today. They did such a great job on my car! It is running better than ever and the service was wonderful. Highly knowledgeable and I'd recommend them to anyone who wants a quality repair!

Thank you to the whole crew, you were amazing!!!! It started with a good and informative respectful conversation about their procedures!!! They then got me an appointment in 2 days!!!! The diagnosis and estimate then followed in a timely manner!!!! Expecting , what could have been a huge bill, the expert and meticulous detail from a knowledge mechanic, he nailed it!!! The bill was a delight, having expecting an large labor and parts bill. Thank you Vanderwals!!! Will refer you to all my friends and family!!!

My wife and I were getting ready to drive across the country and the team at Vander Wal's were extremely courteous and helpful in getting our cars ready. They were thorough and knowledgable in the work they did and showed great customer service in explaining any issues they found and the necessary fixes (the lady at the front desk was very sweet). We completed our long drive without any issues at all on our cars! I would highly recommend going here if you need help with your car!

My family have been customers of Vanderwal's garage for years. I truly feel like they genuinely care about our safety on the roads. We just recently had a mishap with one of our cars and they got our vehicle in quickly to assess the problem, gave us a fair estimate for services, ordered the parts quickly, so they could make the repairs and get us back on the road. I highly recommend this garage. Don and Sue Vanderwal truly are the best, I can't imagine being treated any differently if I were one of their own kids (which I am not) they just make me feel as cared for as if I were family. Try them out, they won't disappoint!

New to the city, I required immediate, extensive, expensive repairs on my vehicle. I needed a service company that would accept my particular 'car care' account and stay wiithin my budget. I found Vander Wal's to be thoughtful in offering me advice on how to assure the most important repairs were completed first. They kept within my budget and explained qualified suggested repairs to me, allowing me to make decisions that were presently most necessary. I would recommend them to anyone who is searching for pleasant interaction and accommodating auto service.

I received very professional service from these folks. Honest and quality work done to my vehicle. Had an issue and was able to take my vehicle in the following day. Folks diagnosed and addressed the main issue, they also suggested a couple other routine maintenance things that DID need to be taken care of. Long story short, my vehicle actually runs better than it did prior to my issue, and without the knowledge and professionalism of the staff and owner I would have had major issues down the road. The work took a few days however I needed a lot done and was expecting it. I would take my vehicle here again and would highly recommend these folks to anyone. Thank you everyone at Vander Wal's.

I am quite pleased with Vanderwal's service and I would definitely recommend them! They got me in right away when I told them I had a scary ticking sound in my engine. They assessed the situation quickly (ended up being a timing belt/ water pump issue that could have killed my car) and fixed it quickly as well! They are very kind and professional! Thank you Vanderwall's, I will be back!

Once again VanderWals garage has EXCEEDED expectations. They got us in immediately, got us road ready and even took the time to go over all that we needed. This place has been an absolute pleasure to work with. A huge thank you to Sue in the office who was super helpful and so sweet. We HIGHLY recommend this place.

I came to Shelton to visit my mom. My car ended up breaking down. They figured out it was my 4x4 wheel module. They ordered the part on Tuesday June 28th, ended up receiving the wrong part on Friday June 30th. The owner/mechanic ended up going to Olympia after they closed that day to get the right part. They are absolutely wonderful. They were very kind and were willing to make arrangements for me to get the work done that was needed. Would definitely recommend them for anyone getting work done in that area.

Vanderwal's Garage has gone above and beyond making sure I have reliable and safe transportation for my family. Prices are very reasonable, service is incredible. They always come through Everytime something breaks or needs regular maintenance.

Office manager extraordinaire Sue is a cheerful, patient and kind knowledgeable woman with outstanding people skills. Don and his mechanics are highly skilled and helpful.

Always providing service above and beyond the rest! A huge thanks once again to Sue for her patience with me and Don, who goes out of his way to make sure I can get my rig back on the road. Don’t bother going anywhere else. At Vander Wals you’ll get small town customer service with experience you can feel confident about. Thank you!

I am loyal to the Vander Wals for 3 big reasons:
1) Fair and accurate estimates
2) Quick service
3) Customer service

Sue & Don and the guys are wonderful. I recently I took my old car in for new brakes. Sue drove me home after I dropped off my car for service, and pointed out several local businesses in need of support during these incredibly tough times. I am committed to my community, and so are the Vander Wals, and it was so lovely to share and learn more about my town on our drive.

Customer for life here.

Thank you!

Excellent experience! Two years in a row have relied on Vanderwal's to tune up my 2009 Nissan Quest minivan. They are honest, provide excellent service and their work comes with a warranty.

I was looking for a reliable, locally owned auto repair, since I am new to Shelton. I asked around and heard this name come up a lot.

The Vander Wals (Don and Sue) truly go the extra mile for their customers. They did an amazing job on a major leak in my sunroof and trough. My car came back looking better than new. Thank you!

I will be a customer of theirs for life.

It is hard to find a honest and dependable service team. Vander Wal's is that team. They have repaired and serviced everything correctly. My truck had steering issues that I could not resolve for years, Vander Wal's corrected the problem. Great team and customer service!

They are the most helpful, and kind people I have taken my car there twice their prices are fair the service is amazing

Great service and nice, trustworthy folks. I'm happy to have found Vander Wal's garage though back in '67 I took my '65 Mustang to this very shop. Got great service back then and again just yesterday! I highly recommend and say thanks to Sue and Don at Vander Wal's Garage in Shelton!
