Great service, high quality, lower price compared to other places, on time. Definitely recommend…read morethem. Somebody keyed my car on side, all the way back to front. The scratches were deep specially on the doors. Also, the front bumper was broken on the driver side corner. I took the car to more than 5 bodyshops for quotes. I was looking for the lowest price because I wanted to pay for the damage myself. At G & A, they gave me the lowest price; they also squeezed me in their schedule, when they figured I needed my car ASAP. The car was ready when they said it would be, right on time, and when I checked it out, it was as good as new. They did a great job fixing the scratches and the bumper. They went extra mile and fixed a couple of tiny dents in the front door too. They also have very nice and respectful staff. In summary, I had a great experience with G & A auto bodyshop and highly recommend them.

I really appreciated their service start to finish. They took care of every step. They met with the other driver took their payment ordered the part took my car gave me a courtesy car and promptly finished and delivered on time next day. The owner personally messaged me throughout the entire process. I received my car beautifully fixed washed and detailed inside and out with a nice smelling cotton candy air freshener. The leather seats were conditioned as well. They even fixed my tire and bent license plate. I was very happy with the service over all. I now understand why some other big franchise body shops advertise so much it's because they have to do it whereas other shops, their work and service speaks for itself. Customers will bring customers. Great job guys!

I'm only half joking - I had a job by the time I made the appointment, but hadn't started just yet... but I digress. Here's the deal. There are three reviews below that "aren't recommended" but I believe each and every word. The guys at Dependable are just that. Dependable. They are honest, forth coming, and they work fast. After they told me I didn't need pads, I thought it would be a good idea to get them looked at again after the last 8k kms. Turns out needed the front done, but not the back. All in with an oil change was far less than I expected, but done in a very timely manner.

Dave called me a couple of hours later saying he had found a problem, and gave me a quote and a repair date/time. I was unable to make it to his shop on time, so I requested to leave my car at his shop overnight. No problem. I also asked him to leave me the old part so I could see what was broken, which he did. The problem was fixed, and the quote was exactly what he had said. His labour rates are much lower than those of the dealership and he gets the job done. Next time I have a problem, I'll be back for sure.

I heard of Comptech from a friend, and was happy he referred them to me. I had previously gone to…read moreComptech in the summer to look at my brakes and they said I have at least another year before having to get them fixed. I bought a 2001 Honda Civic LX 2 years ago with 180 000km on it already. I have done my regular oil changes every 5000 km, but the engine was starting to make a few "off" noises and when I went over speed bumps there would be a large clunking noise from the suspension. So back I went and they offered a free quote on what they saw the initial problems being without taking apart the whole engine. I went to two other local repair shops Axle Alley and Rudy & Peters who also offered free quotes but did not go to the extent to show me the actual problems, and both came in a few hundred dollars more. The next day I called David the owner back and they took my car in right away. They fixed the car up and called when they found another small issue with the transmission to see if I wanted to repair it as well .Two days later it was all fixed they threw in a free oil change then Mike the other owner walked me through all the new pieces and changes that had been done. The car is running much better, but it is still early. I do feel as if I have found a trust worthy mechanic here in Vancouver I would be happy to refer my friends to.

Buddy had my car for a couple months trying to find parts. In that time his technician got into an accident with my car. Fine, they'll fix it and get to working on the real problem. Over the holidays, the owner of the shop decides to leave my vehicle on the street outside of his lot. Tuesday morning I get a call from VPD. "Sir, someone has broken into your car and your car is filling with rain. I call Arbutus service centre, leave a msg, don't hear back. I call back at noon the next day, speak to the owner. "Oh it's not my responsibility where your car is left, I won't be taking any responsibility for the damage caused." You couldn't even call me to give me the option to move my car out of your location if you didn't have time to work on it or it was taking space or was going to sit there over the holidays. That's what you do Steve, you call the client and say "hey, parts haven't come in, I don't have room to store your car, can you come pick it up? I'll call ya when the part is in and you can bring it back. You DON'T leave the vehicle on the street, quite simple. My car being broken into is not what bothered me, nor the fact that I trusted my vehicle with this mechanic or that I spent 5k and the mechanical issue still persisted. It was the shitty attitude and absolute lack of any ownership that made me loose 1000% respect for this person and his business. If that's the new norm, bring your car to a mechanic but you can't trust they'll keep your car safe, I call bullshit. Steve Hennessy, your behaviour, business practise and shit attitude after the fact.....poor poor poor absolutely sh** customer service. Your defiance, arrogance at how you practise business left me with the worst taste in my mouth. I am on my way out of this city and all you did was remind me why I cannot stand where humanity has reached. I looked at you, the experience and just thought "man, people are so awful" Had to scarp my car I was in love with. Now I don't have anything to move with. You ruined my last moth in Van. I hope you can live with this truth. It was in fact 100% your responsibility to keep my vehicle safe when you take that vehicle in. I trusted you to keep it safe. Had it been your own car, your mechanic left it on the street and someone broke into it, you'd be singing a different tune. But you weren't able to empathize were you? No, you just thought of yourself and how to cover your own ass. Since it's 2023, humanity is at its worst, you decided to screw me. Live with that. I strongly believe in karma and I believe yours will, has, is coming. Zero respect for you, absolute zero. You shouldn't advertise on your website things you simply do not practise. Lol your customers come first? Yeah right!
