Heard of Bullock City from a friend...unfortunately, my experience with them was beyond…read morefrustrating. If I hadn't spoken up or questioned what occurred on June 2, 2026, I would have paid hundreds or thousands of dollars for no reason. About a week before I went in, I called to book an appointment as I was hoping to have my seasonal tires swapped, and maybe get a diagnostic, oil change, break pads replaced and muffler looked at. When I asked for the estimate of the tires, I was told I had to bring in the car for a proper quote which I thought was odd. Guy I spoke to also thought it was a good idea to throw in a sexist comment, guess he assumed I knew nothing about cars. Not sure if that assumption gave him the impression I could be swindled in person but considering I drove over 40 mins to get the car checked out by this place I, at the very least, hoped this shop wasn't like the rest. My mistake for giving them a chance. When I brought the car in, at no point was I provided with a clear estimate or breakdown of the labour/service associated with the diagnostic, oil check, or tire swap before work began. However, they did give me a handwritten breakdown of the partial costs of the "repairs" and maintenance the car needed, but for the actual services I was hoping to complete today (tires/diagnostic/estimate) - that was conveniently left out (see picture). They also claimed the muffler had a leak, whether that's true is debatable considering they lied about the oil needing to be replaced which I'm confused about since I just needed it checked not changed. The oil had been manually changed not that long ago, and well after the date of service noted on the windshield sticker, but I guess this place thought they could pull a fast one on me claiming the oil was due for a change? If that was the case why not get my authorization prior to actually changing the oil, why not show me what the oil looked like prior to working on it? FYI I know how to check the dipstick so aside from this place lying about the oil change, then taking it upon themselves to begin that work without my say so including the tires, this shop may want to do a bit of googling to understand what a scam means from a legal perspective (i.e. fraud). The guy claimed they have been around for 30 years and wasn't trying to scam me, as if a business existing for more than a decade means they're above board. Being around for 30 years just means you survived a few recessions - so congrats. More importantly since the car belongs to my partner, I made it clear I needed to check with him prior to making any decisions. I stepped away a few times to get my partner's input and each time I returned to the front desk I discovered that work had begun and another charge was added to the bill. News to me considering it wasn't authorized. So you can imagine my shock and disbelief when the bill kept increasing, a bill that wasn't discussed prior. When I brought up these issues with the guy at the front, same guy I spoke to over the phone, he laughed it off, tried to downplay what happened and kept saying it was a miscommunication. I don't understand how there could have been repeated misunderstandings when I specifically stated numerous times that I needed to check with my partner and that we were holding off on repairs and maintenance. I guess I could have screamed no, but I'm sure that would have been ignored. Then he tried to turn it around on me, and claimed I booked the appointment to get the tires swapped. No sir, appointment was booked because I was told to bring in the car to get a proper estimate. How am I so sure of this? Because I record all my phone calls with service providers, knowing full well that many businesses cannot be trusted to operate with transparency and will gaslight clients. I'm sure this is a common tactic mechanics use to lure in customers before presenting them with an inflated bill, and if I didn't know my consumer rights and the regulatory requirements that govern businesses, I may have ended up paying double or triple by the time I left the shop.

Bring all the family vehicles here for tires, brakes, oil change, etc. Not one complaint in over 10 years. The service, pricing, and customer service is always great. We've had European, Japanese, and domestics. They work on all of them, and if there is something specialized (ie specific luxury german car programming or recalls) they just give me the honest advice and advise what to do as opposed to trying to make a quick buck off me. They're a great shop to drop in, get things done on time, and then be on your way. Most importantly for a mechanic they explain things well, no nasty surprises, and the pricing is very fair and transparent. They're always happy to help in a pinch, they give honest good advice, and it's frankly a pleasure to have an honest mechanic. Hard thing to come by! As a local resident i believe it's important to support honest, hard working local business owners who live and participate in the community. Congratulations on your new location!

Like really people, we go through too much already to have to even fight this kind of battle!! You call this place up, already booking some days is quite tedious as their shop is humbly set up, enough for only a few vehicles at a time and the work is tediously done without the acquisitive approach on giving quotes on excess work you don't need at the moment. Honest and hard working, the place where our gas guzzlers get pampered in the hands of sincere mechanics. This place is not only close to home, but definitely close to my wallet when it comes to a quick oil change, maintenance all year round and expert advise on how to care for your lover on wheels.

Without an appointment he lifted my car to take a look at what was wrong and proceeded to show me, in detail (and plain english) what was wrong with my brakes, exhaust etc. I knew I needed brake and exhaust work, and all other mechanics I visited gave me a rough estimate without explaining how, why or what specific work was required. Dave was happy to have me watch as he inspected my car, and then gave me a very fair estimate. When I picked up my car the next day, the final bill was actually less than he estimated, plus he changed the air filter (something he noticed that needed to be done while he was working on the car) Definitely a positive experience with a trustworthy mechanic in Toronto. Not the closest most convenient location to me (I live downtown), but just north of Finch Subway station (either walk or bus). I'll definitely be seeing Dave again next time my car has any trouble, and will be recommending him to family and friends.

WARNING! It's Rare…read moreto find a garage that wont take advantage of a customer. This one was no different, Calling in I asked if they had a part to fix the rear passenger shock mount as it had failed due to wear. A 20$ Item, 3 screws easily accessible, and 10 minutes of work with an impact driver and WD-40. After calling i was LIED to when the front desk had said that the shock i was looking for was fused and the 20$ part unfortunately has to be a 150$ entire shock replacement as well as an estimate of maximum 100$ for the labour. I took his word for it and agreed to the service.... little did I know.... this was not the case. I asked for my old part back and easily popped off the mount from the rubber gasket and made mention that I must not have had the "factory model" he talked about over the phone. Alas, after lying again and saying Mazda doesn't sell it separately, he shortly corrected himself a minute later saying that they do not buy them separately (no need to get it from Mazda, Napa sells the same KYB mount (Mazda's factory shock choice) or dorman substitute). Irregardless charging me 50$ more than the cost of the suspension. valuing his mechanics service at 300$/hr (took 20 minutes in total in/out while moving slower then a sloth) and openly lying to a customer you'd be better off at a Canadian Tire auto service. Heed WARNING to those who do not know different, speed and monetary cost is in the eye of the beholder and this Snake Oil salesman sells a bitter brew of lies.
