Do you want it done cheap, or do you want it done right?…read more As a fleet manager with over 20 years in the automotive industry, I've seen how most shops operate. Too often it's the cheapest parts, every bolt rattled with an impact gun, and training thrown out the window in the name of tighter profit margins. It's frustrating, and sadly, it's become the norm in many repair facilities. Downtown Auto is the outlier. They pride themselves on quality, and it shows -- from their thorough inspections and clear reporting to the way they approach diagnostics. They don't just throw parts at a problem. Every issue is addressed with a methodical, traceable diagnostic process. When repairs are needed, procedures and specifications are followed to the book. Nothing is overlooked. What also stands out is their commitment to training. In the Kootenays, we don't have the luxury of a large, seasoned trades culture. At Downtown Auto, they take the time to mentor new technicians, ensuring their work meets high standards. That investment pays off for customers like me. As a fleet manager, this has been a game-changer. While other shops end up fixing the same problems repeatedly, Downtown Auto fixes it once -- and fixes it right. It makes my job easier knowing the vehicles I send to them come back reliable and road-ready. So sure, you can save a little by going somewhere else for cheaper parts and speed-driven repairs -- and end up with a work order that's as hard to understand as your teenager's text messages. Or, you can go to Downtown Auto and know it's done right the first time.

I can understand mistakes but then they just topped up my rad fluid and charged me for the fluid and gave me the worst attitude and tried to say I should be checking all the caps and work after they do it??? like why did I pay you? Strongly suggest staying away from this shop. They do poor work and are shady and not the type of people you want to deal with. I have 4 other friends with really negative experiences here. I'm hoping they go out of business and get run out of town.
