The truest test of any company is how it responds when an error is made. Initially they must admit that they made an error. Although I feel certain that an error is of a rare nature at Happy Wallet, they readily expressed real contrition along with acknowledging their mistake. Secondly, their response to correcting that mistake went above and beyond. The owner, service advisor, and #1 technician were all on the same page to get it right and get me happy. They accomplished that goal. Visit Happy Wallet and receive this same customer first attitude.

I had an emergency repair needed on my 2007 Subaru STI. My car had to make a 1000 mile- plus trip by the end of the week and Happy Wallet expedited my repairs in a matter of days and the vehicle performed flawlessly on the long road trip. I will use and recommend them to everyone!

Happy Wallet always gives top notch assistance to me every time my vehicles have repair or general maintenance needed. They try to give the most affordable prices while at the same not skimping or letting quality lack in order to do so. Would highly recommend.

My vehicle was towed to this location. I was contacted and informed of work to be done. Car was ready the next day. I did not have transportation to pick up my car so I was sent a car to pick me up. Which I really appreciated

Happy Wallet has done major repair work for me in the past and smaller jobs more recently. Whatever the problem, you can count on a job well done, in a timely manner and, fairly priced! Everyone on board is knowledgeable in all aspects of automotive performance and happy to help explain any questions you may have. Their waiting area is always immaculate and a comfortable spot to wait for your vehicle. It’s always such a nice experience!

First time using Happy Wallet. They fixed my sway bar quickly. I like the way they use texting to send the estimate and let you choose which repairs you want done. Will definitely be back!

I came for an oil change and they gave me a ridiculous estimate stating I needed a new radiator as mine had a leak in it and I needed to leave my car over night. I knew something was up when the receptionist said you know I stayed extra thirty minutes to make you estimate which added up to a few thousand dollars and was almost upset when I declined and asked to get my vehicle. She asked if I could get there immediately as it was after closing when I received the estimate. After getting a second opinion from a mechanic the radiator was missing a cap, not leaking. SCAMMERS

Great customer service! Happy Wallet replaced my starter a few months ago and as a college student I don’t have that much money right now. Their team was very generous with their pricing and made me want to come back if there was ever another issue, which there was... two days ago I noticed an issue with my brakes and they were able to get me in as soon as I called. It only took a couple hours but they were able to replace my front brake pads and rotors, as well as rotate my tires for an upcoming road trip. They were super professional, timely, and very friendly !! 10/10

I just moved from NY and my car needed Tie rod ends, the outer ones were old and needed to be replaced. We werent sure if they can get it loose, which meant the inner ones and possibly the rack & pinion may have to be replaced. Gloria called me the next day, and told me they were able get the outer ones off.. They were honest, informative and extremely professional and very knowledgeable on my car!!!. I am a person who wants to have a dependable mechanic who I can rely on. Happy Wallet Auto is definitely a mechanic I would recommend highly 👌.!!!!!!

I was visiting in Naples from out of state, my car developed shifting issues (manual transmission).the local dealer did not diagnosed and properly repaired the car yet charged me a huge bill.I found Happy Wallet with a search and took my car there. I’m very happy with their work, it was performed quickly and the symptoms disappeared. Their price was $1000 less than the dealer quoted to fix their poor work.I’d go back to Happy Wallet if I need any repairs done to my car, based on my experience, I’d recommend them whole heartedly.

Gloria & her team were great! After calling around multiple places I went to Happy Wallet for an inspection. Gloria laid out my options and told me exactly what was wrong with my brakes and the remaining life expectancy. Other places just gave me a price and wanted me to swipe my card - no explanation of services at all. I am very happy with the services I received & will recommend services from Happy Wallet & continue to go here for any future services.

This is the absolute best auto repair shop I have ever been to. They are honest, affordable and do an outstanding job! Don’t take your vehicle anywhere else. Trust Happy Wallet, you won’t regret it! Another thing, beware of the dealerships in this area, they will rip you off! The dealership completely misdiagnosed my car and it was going to cost me thousands. Thank you Happy Wallet!

I am from out of town and was on the last leg of a 1k trip and my alternator died at 3:30 on a Thursday. I had it towed to Happy Wallet as they were closing and they had me on the road again by 12:30 on Friday. Amanda and team were outstanding.

Jack was very helpful during the entire repair process. The accessible minivan that I use to transport my disabled nephew was inoperable and had to be towed to the repair shop. My insurance company recommended Happy Wallet Quality Auto Repair. Gloria, the owner, called me with an estimate for a new starter and the labor to install it. All work was completed within the estimate amount and Jack graciously personally delivered the minivan back to me at home.

Gloria and Jack did an outstanding repair work on my vehicle. They were both patient, informative, thorough, knowledgeable, and personable. The rear wheeling bearing of my vehicle needed to be replaced immediately so I could drive 1300 miles to return home, up north. The catalytic converter was also clogged. Both repairs were handled promptly and efficiently. I highly recommend Happy Wallet. A thank yo any/all technicians who worked on my automobile.Thank you Gloria.Thank you Jack.Until next time.Cheers.Amir

Review №46

Im glad I chose to bring my truck to Happy Wallet. We brought our truck in to get an oil change, alignment and tires balanced so we would be ready for our vacation the next weekend and pull our travel trailer. The truck had a shake when going over 75mph (reason for balancing). We had been told by other companies over the year that it was just the tires and there was no major problems. Come to find out the tire wall had been separating and was causing the shake. Gloria let us know right away (and was concerned because we have a baby on the way) so we also replaced the tires. So grateful they caught this before our vacation or more importantly before anything major happened (my wife drives the truck most of the time). We will be bringing our truck to Happy Wallet from now on. Thank you for keeping my family safe!

Review №59

We are retirees visiting Naples for two months having driven down from NH. We thought that we needed new shocks (possibly a $1,500 repair on our model vehicle), and called Happy Wallet to schedule this work. Gloria and her team did an extensive diagnostic review of the entire vehicle, and they explained that we did not need new shocks (or any other significant repairs either). SO ... it became totally apparent that these are extremely honest people who could have easily taken advantage of visitors, but they did not do so. Despite the fact that our situation resulted in very little revenue for them, they paid for an Uber to return us home when we dropped off our vehicle. Then, amazingly, the owner called us that night and made arrangements to pick us up herself the next morning to drive us back to her shop. They just dont make people like this anymore, and we are thankful that we met them. We would strongly encourage anyone reading this to use Happy Wallet for any automotive concerns.P StoneCenter Harbor, NH

It was my first time at this shop and I came in for several reasons. My main reason was due to my transmission exhibiting slippage. Also had a nail in my tire and slight squeal on my brakes.

Their professionalism and knowledge will turn me into a repeat customer.

5Star Quality Auto Repair! Great Staff and Service! Gloria really helped me out when my Saab Aero had a problem with the Transmission not shifting..I was really nervous that it was going to need a rebuild due to the high mileage. But it was just a faulty sensor and Gloria also had her Mechanic flush and replace the fluids. Ive been using Happy Wallet since the 90s. (Saabs, Passats, Porsches, Audi) When BigJim Washburn was the owner. I think hed be proud of the work Happy Wallet continues to provide its customers. Id recommend Happy Wallet to everyone. Best in Naples.

First time that my 2009 Acura has ever needed skilled repairs, Jay and Gloria scheduled me right in and were able to troubleshoot the issue with the A/C. Discovered a combination of a faulty relay and low refrigerant, not easy to determine when two separate elements are responsible. Did a superb and quick repair and now A/C putting out better than ever cooling! Strongly recommend Happy Wallet for any repairs.

Review №74

I went to get my transmission serviced because the main input shaft bearing was sounding worn. They told me they’d take a look. I was told they’d inspect the transmission. When they called back they said my flywheel was “all the colors it shouldn’t be” and that I’d need a clutch replacement too. They wouldn’t allow me to use any aftermarket parts, so my flywheel (without installation fees) ended up costing me $1400. I get it back, and the first thing I hear when I turn the key is the sound of the still worn input shaft bearing. Either they failed to listen to the customer and check the issue I said the car was having, or they didn’t care to fix it. If I wasn’t moving to a different state the next day I would’ve told them to redo it for free, but I didn’t have the option. Not only did I spend thousands of dollars more than I needed to on this kind of work, they didn’t even fix the issue I was having in the first place.

Ive been bringing my vehicles to Happy Wallet for over 10yrs. Saabs, Porsche, VWs. Ive always been treated well and the prices are better than anything Ive found locally. Although Jim Washburn has retired, the new owner Gloria is continuing the tradition of quality auto repair at an affordable price. They also have gone HighTech with estimates and recommendations sent as text messages.I recommend Happy Wallet to anyone seeking Friendly Quality Service.

HWQAR was a friendly group and honest and quite efficient. They fixed everything I asked for and when diagnosing my power steering problem, after replacing a worn high pressure hose, they found a hairline leak in the pump. The shop manager informed me much of the leakage has stopped, but you are going to need a new pump because of the leak. I will go back again and recommend this business to others.

Review №83

Ive had this truck for 3 years without a problem whatsoever. I was planning to move across the country and wanted to get it checked as I was going to be hauling a trailer. Sure enough, they find an issue with the control arm and the tires are old among other things. I tell them Im gonna think about it and that same day, drive to Miami for a hitch. Coincidentally, upon arriving to Miami, I start hearing a loud noise every time I turn the wheel. I call upset and they say that its what they had told me the problem was.Now I feel forced to pay to get this fixed and (might as well I guess) get tires. I figured, they are the professionals so they might be right. I come to pick it up and they tell me I should be good with new control arms, ball joints and new tires. Of course, Im 6-7 hours on my trip and it starts making the exact same noise it did before they replaced all of that! I called and left a message that someone better call me back but no one ever does.Ill just say this, dont go here unless you can bring your vehicle back. Theyd probably just tell me I need to replace a whole other part!

Amazing staff, fast service and they will make sure your car is fixed if it has issues. They care about the customer more than the money. They will let you know if you need your breaks done now or if it can wait, same with all the other parts you may have issues with. They never let me down.

All repairs were done in a exceptionally timely fashion & I left totally satisfied with the work done and the invoiced amount, which I felt was totally fair. This is my second visit over the past few years to Happy Wallet and I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking for a vehicle repair facility in Naples Fl. Oh & by the way, Gloria arranged for a transport home when I dropped my vehicle. Totally unexpected but much appreciated. Thanks Gloria.
