His father Ed Walker has also been in the automotive field for several decades. His Uncle Dennis (Pete) Walker has been an automotive technician for over 50 Years. The heritage and integrity found in decades of public service was bestowed in Eric to strive to provide a family oriented, trustworthy automotive repair facility providing top-notch skilled technicians with a common goal and mission.
