Brought my car here to get my tires swapped from winters to summers. The summer/all season tires…read morewere labelled on the tires which tire came off from which side of the car. Such as RF (right front) or RR ( right rear). They installed them for me for $95 (including tax) decent price, but I find that they didn't bother to even look at the chalked writing on the tire and just slapped on the tires onto the car. So pretty much they tires are not rotated properly switching the front to the back... Plus they never even called me to tell me that the car was done.. If I hadn't gone back to check myself I probably wouldn't have gotten my car back..... Simon was the dude who I talked to, nice guy and all but I find that this place lacks alot in their service and follow ups. The garage is tucked away on this small inside road off Minoru Blvd.. it's next to 2 other garages. The office is super messy with dust, junk and lots of papers. Typical small chinese garage. Not surprised with the effort. But disappointed in something just like simple tire rotation and installment.....

I went there once to get my my oil leak checked out. It was obviously leaking cause I could see…read morethe oil drip from my engine onto the ground. They told me it was my oil sending unit and with parts and labour it would $70. I let them put it in and when I arrived home I was still seeing the oil dripping. I brought it back and they put it back on the hoist but said they couldn't see any oil leaking. Really? They fix cars for a living and can't even spot a dripping oil leak that any regular schmuck could see with naked eyes. If they couldn't see it actually dripping they should have been able to see the drips on the ground but they probably didn't even look for that. My rationale was that if they can't even see that there is a leak, I'm not even going to try and show them or have them try and fix my car again.

My sister was able to get in to do an auto check very quickly but with any car diagnostics it's…read moresuch a rip off because they never tell you exactly upfront how much it's going to cost. She ended up paying a little over $200 and to find that they couldn't do anything to fix it. The woman who works there did give us a one-way ride to downtown while we waited, but they weren't able to pick us back up which I think is such a weird way to do service and business. Ultimately, I'm not sure this is a place that I would recommend for you to go get your car fixed. It's on a weird industrial lot with a bunch of other taxi cars so perhaps it's where they do a lot of fleet services but maybe not necessarily for personal vehicles.

That is why the service I expect and get is equivalent to that of any Mercedes dealership. Cars today are more complex and require a significant investment in diagnostic equipment. The Garage has all of this, therefore I receive a full diagnosis and inspection, even if the main event is the annual oil change. And so I drive off on a road trip, fully confident the car will perform optimally and If youcarry me safely to destinations. Another thing I like is being able to drop the car off in the morning and pick it up at the end of the day. In the interim, the skytrain and transit gets me to where I am going. If you consider your car an investment, then The Garage is a good option. The peace of mind I get is worth the time my car spends in their care.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? It was only after I paid that I came to realize how ridiculous this cost is, and luckily it was before I had anything fixed by these guys. I called 5+ other mechanics in the city who all laughed at this cost. The most any of them would charge to run this diagnostic was $50. I took my car to another mechanic who charged $600 for the same job that The Garage quoted me $1100 for...and guess what? They ran the diagnostic for FREE before advising that any work be done. I watched him do this in about 2 minutes. I'm not sure if they sized me up and thought that they could over charge because I'm a woman and I don't know a lot about cars, but I'm sure anyone who knows ANYTHING about cars would laugh in their faces if told it would cost $170 to run the diagnostic that takes 2 minutes. Needless to say, my friend's dad won't be recommending this place anymore. It's funny that places like this think that they're getting more money by ripping people off, but don't realize how much business they're forfeiting by gaining this bad reputation.

I've tried going to other places closer to my area but I just don't believe anything they say "needs work" or "needs to be replaced". Bob tells you what REALLY needs to be fixed and what can wait. I got my tires changed from all seasons to winter tires at KalTire and they said my brakes needed to be changed asap. Went to Bob's for a oil change and asked him to take a look at the brakes. He said it was completely fine and have tons of life left. This guy does not lie and tell you to change things in your car just for the sake of taking your money. An honest mechanic shop, that's hard to find. Life-long customer for sure.
