I'm from Calgary and was in Invermere over August Long Weekend. I made it back home, but my car…read moredid not... Obviously concerned that it would not be road worthy (as it had little power), and trying to get a tow from Invermere to Calgary would likely be very difficult and expensive, if at all possible during the H93 fires. Made a call to Cleanline and they got me in the following Friday first thing at 8AM. A day and time that worked best for us seeing we'd have to drive back out from Calgary, so they were very accommodating. My Audi was diagnosed right away, and luckily the part was available locally. It was repaired and ready for pick up before noon. Aaron is very knowledgeable and the shop is very professional. The diagnostic charge was a little higher than I would pay for here in Calgary, but well worth it in this case as towing not required and peace of mind everything in bringing the car back to Calgary in great driving condition. Would definitely consider Cleanline for future repairs/service on our other vehicles. A real GEM in the Valley! Thanks so much! -Paula-

My van was dead, while vacationing at Panorama, towed from Panorama Resort to Walker's, Invermere…read moreon Friday late aft. Local residents recommended Walkers. Keith from Walker's could not promise anything. Walker's are closed Sat & Sun. Sat morning Keith called to confirm that the battery and alternator needed to be replaced, and gave me a quote. Called me Monday morning to advise that the van was fixed and available for pickup at the quoted price. His mechanic Alex had come in on Sunday to do the repair. Can not emphasize how happy we were to have our van back to drive home to Edmonton, and enthusiastically recommend Walker's. Tom M. By the way, we were to leave Saturday, but were stuck without our van, and thought we might not be able to leave till later in the week.

Finding a good mechanic is damn hard. In Invermere I had a couple of bad experiences with places…read morecharging well over their quotes. One of these replaced my clutch and when we picked up the car they said I needed new ball joints ASAP. Unhappy with being charged $90 more than the possible maximum amount we were quoted, I went to Walker's, told them I was in the market for new ball joints and that I'd like to know when they could do it. Ross checked out the car on the spot and gave the ball joints another 8 months before needing to be replaced. And with that, I knew I found someone who wasn't just out to make bucks, but to actually provide customer care and service. I vowed to return when it was time and went on my way. I took the car in for ball joints 8 months later, they did it for under what they quoted and I was happy with how they took care of me and the corolla. Each subsequent trip to Walker's left me feeling so lucky to have a friendly, honest mechanic that I eventually told everyone I could to go to Walker's. A few times when I had an old worn out part replaced, Ross would take me into the garage and show me the old part, what was wrong with it and why it needed to be replaced. Kind of a "just so you know what that noise/problem was" kind of moment. Eventually, I gave the Corolla away and bought an Xterra, which needed far less part replacements and I could easily change my own oil due to the high ground clearance, but I still took it to Walker's for routine big things (timing belt, water pump) and the occasional B service when I didn't have time to do it all myself. Each time it was so easy: call and make an appointment for the next day, drop it off in the AM, stop by in the PM, pay and off I went. No need for them to call when it's done as long as you communicate with them that you'll stop by shortly before closing - at least it worked for me. Now that I live in Toronto I miss having a shop like Walker's just down the road from me, honest and reliable. So go to these guys for me, since I can't. (Review based on experiences from 2005-2010)

Buyer beware. Using the online booking system to to reserve a bus trip to Sunshine Village, I…read moresearched for buses leaving the next day and when I saw a nine AM slot available for two people I purchased it. I then realized that there was a mistake and the bus had left at 9 AM that same day, or nearly 12 hours after I was booking it. Yes I realize that I should have been more careful but I also didn't think that an automated system would let me book a bus that had already left. I called the next day to let them know about the error and they offered to put us on to the 9 AM bus as we had intended to book. That would have been fine except that we were still almost two hours away in Calgary. Then the fun began. After many, many questions I asked that the money be refunded. The person on the phone agreed. Four e-mails and a number of calls later, still no refund. I now have to get the credit card company involved. No integrity or service here.

Disorganized and an hour late starting out. Best for beginning snowshoers…read more We waited for the bus in Banff at the appointed time to go snowshoeing with WMA. With his clipboard showing 12 paid customers, the driver/guide arrived in a van with seats for 11 passengers(!). After he finally realized his miscalculation, he called the WMA office. Following a 45 minute wait, a taxi arrived to take the 12th passenger to the ski resort behind the van. The web page description indicates a 2.5 hour trip on snowshoes. Including the gondola and chairlift rides up the mountain and frequent stops to explain how to use snowshoes, walk in them, recover from a fall, break for cocoa and cookies (provided by WMA), detailed descriptions of continental divides, local fauna and wild animals, the total actual snowshoeing time was probably just over one hour. For a beginner, this is probably ok but any experienced snowshoer will be unsatisfied. The terrain is varied, expansive and beautiful; our beginning altitude was 7875 feet, descending c. 1000 feet to the gondola ride back to the van. The guide was very nice and is expansions clear.

This review is solely based on gas station services…read more We stopped here every morning to fill up during our week stay in Radium Hot Springs. We toured all three National Park's nearby, so we needed a lot of gas! The gas station was clean, windshield wiper stations filled and garbage bins available. Credit card machines worked properly, with receipts printed. We were happy with our stops here. No issues at all. It is conveniently located on highway 93. Would recommend.

We ended up having to stop here because of a flat tire and the service was impeccable. Not only can…read moreyou get gas but the plus in Gas Plus is the fact they have a tire service centre attached. Not just that, but the tire service Centre is open on Sundays. This is incredibly helpful when almost every other tire store in the area is closed. The guys were able to find a suitable tire for the vehicle so we could at least get home and they didn't charge me an arm and a leg. Plus like I said it's also a gas station so you can fill up, get snacks, and, if you just need air in your tires you can get that too! There is street parking if you need and cute little shops just around the corner to check out as well. Everything you want in a Gas Plus!

They don't fix tires but recommended Ben's. We added air (it was even free!!!) and arrived at Ben's at 11:45 AM. The girl at the desk said it would take around 45 minutes but the techs would be going on lunch break in 15. I must have looked crestfallen because she said, "I'll get it done." One of the techs graciously postponed her lunch to repair the tire (1/2" screw embedded) and we were on our way in 30 minutes. The cost was $30. At a buck-a-minute, it was worth every penny. Everyone was very acomodating and helpful. I'll be a return visitor if I ever need tire repair in the Canmore area again.
