Straight from our customers

“Hands down, the best vehicle service. I will only bring my vehicle to them for repairs and maintenance. All the guys at the shop are great. While you may find the prices a little high, it’s worth every cent. Great service doesn’t come cheap. These guys have been honest and fair in my repairs.”

Good to know

Common questions

What parts should be replaced at what intervals?
  • Oil change every 5,000 km or 6 months, whichever is sooner
  • Batteries every 3 to 6 years
  • Belts every 100,000 km
  • Tires every 3 to 7 years, depending on how much you drive
Are winter tires worth it?
Winter tires can help you stop in over 30% shorter distance, and since 2016 Ontario insurance companies must offer a discount if you have them.
Should I consider synthetic motor oil?
Synthetic oils are made by assembling very small molecules into larger, designed molecules with premium lubricating properties. Ask us whether it's right for your engine.
