About 1-1/2 yrs ago, I posted on Nextdoor about my horrible experience with Barbar Honda. McWilliams & Walden reached out to me saying they could help. They have been my go to place ever since then. I feel so lucky to have found a honest, dependable automobile facility.

Great service, received my vehicle next day after a major repair

I have taken all of my cars here for repairs over 20 years and have never been disappointed. Gary, Maria and the whole crew bend over backwards to make sure that the customers are take care of. These guys are the ONLY mechanics that is trust with my vehicles. Give them a try. You will not regret it.

I recently had the pleasure of taking my 2001 Chevy Tahoe to McWilliams & Walden Inc, and I can’t say enough good things about my experience! From the moment I walked in, the staff was incredibly helpful and attentive. They took the time to explain the problems with my vehicle in a way that was easy to understand, which I truly appreciated. The pricing was fair and transparent, with no hidden fees or surprises. I felt confident that I was getting a good deal for the quality of service provided. The customer service was outstanding; everyone I interacted with was friendly, professional, and genuinely invested in helping me get my vehicle back on the road. What stood out to me the most was their honesty and trustworthiness. It’s hard to find a mechanic you can rely on, but I felt completely at ease knowing that my Tahoe was in good hands. They kept me updated on everything being done to my vehicle, which gave me peace of mind throughout the repair process. Additionally, the service was impressively fast. They answered every question I had about the repairs and made sure I was informed every step of the way. Overall, I can confidently say that McWilliams & Walden Inc is the best mechanic shop in Bakersfield, CA. If you’re looking for a reliable, honest, and skilled mechanic, look no further. I highly recommend them! Five stars all the way!

This place is seriously the greatest!! I was shot at while driving my car and the bullet left a hole in the door (no one was injured, thankfully!!), this shop took my car in and did the body work to it, they fixed the whole door and painted it, looks brand new!! I went through my insurance and just paid my deductible and was on my way! Thank you to Dakotah for dealing with my insurance and getting it all squared away for me! Made such a stressful and scary incident so easy!


Nov 06, 2024

This place is the best!! Dakotah got me in and out in less than 2 hours for four brand new tires, alignment and an oil change!! Highly recommend!! I’ll definitely be back soon to do some body work and paint!

I have been a customer of McWilliams and Walden for 20 years. I have since moved 2 hours away and still will only go to this shop. Excellent work and staff. Worth the time and money to go to this trustworthy business.

My first impression was the lobby! Over the top professional looking was clean and organized. Staff reflected the lobby in their friendly but professional approuch. I wasn’t left standing while i waited for someone to acknowledged me! Their help was prompted and genuine. I highly recommend!!!!
