On 6/21/2024 Alejandro Conquestador had this to say:
THE MOST HONEST MECHANIC IN JACKSONVILLE. After taking my Acura to wally for a transmission noise I was pleased to find out that there was nothing mechanically wrong with the transmission. Instead of quoting me thousands for a new trans he changed the fluid and put an additive in and it went away! Thank you Wally for your honesty.

On 6/21/2024 Alexander Williams had this to say:
AutoZone said my girlfriends alternator was bad after replacing the battery under warranty, coincidentally in the same breath he offered to replace it for her for a fee. After taking it to San Marco Auto Repair they inspected and tested the alternator and battery and confirmed there was nothing wrong with either. I can't recommend them enough. Wally's honest which is hard to find nowadays and I won't take my car any where else!
