The Master Mechanic 412 Dunlop Street West location continues to struggle with the retention of…read more'Qualified Automotive Technicians'. This has resulted in a Significant Decline in workmanship, basic care and control, to ensure quality work is carried out for the patrons who have historically utilized the Barrie West location for their automotive maintenance requirements. It is unfortunate to see the path of steady decline in both Customer Service and workmanship quality at this particular Master Mechanic Franchise location. This has unfortunately left my self and others who were prior loyal customers to look to alternative places of business for our automotive maintenance needs as this problem persists and continues to get worse!

Had gone to this mechanic quite a few times in the past with good service. Last time I went there,…read morei expressed that i believed the fuel injector wiring was having issues, as my check engine light and EPC light was on. I was told by the owner who runs the shop that they checked the wiring and it was fine. Only for me to continue to have problems - took it to the dealership and it was the fuel injector harness. I had multiple fees from multiple visits only for them not to check or repair the issue i had stated. Extremely disappointed, was a repeat customer and will not be going back.

When my long time trusted Porsche mechanic diagnosed my 996 with cylinder scoring and had to be…read morerebuilt, he said there was no one local capable but could get a rebuild from California with an upgrade to 3.8 litre. Seamed like a good option. Then when I soon had intermittent misfires happening, he diagnosed the newly rebuilt engine from California with bottom end issues. Again he said there was no one in Southwestern Ontario capable of tearing down the block to determine the cause or fix it. My own internet search took me to Chariots of Simcoe. My old mechanic could not have been so wrong!!! Sati is the most knowledgeable and capable Porsche mechanic I have ever spoken with. He did a complete disassembling of the motor to discover my cylinders were not properly aligned to the top of the block causing coolant entering the combustion chamber, as well as a few other issues with the US rebuild. He was able to machine the block flush, procure custom head gaskets and better rings and completely rebuild the motor, also fixing the other issues, all staying true to his quoted price. Now my car is running smooth and stronger than ever. I only wish I had known about Chariots of Simcoe and had Sati rebuild my motor the first time.

HERE IS MY SUGGESTION OIL CHANGERS---to improve the ratings given...1---refund the money for their oil change 2---give them the next one free 3---if you broke or damaged a part----fix it at your expense...
