I really don't want to write a review on this place…read more It's always always always busy and they always make time for me somehow. I feel like by writing an honest review they are going to be slammed with new business and I'm not going to take my usual baby into the shop to get its tune-up. But... they deserve some great credit. It's East Van.. and that being my neighborhood, it usually means cheap. However, when it comes to my car... nothing is cheap. I was so lucky to be recommended this place, because my car has already had a few hiccups and they were right there to solve the problem for me. Somehow this owner has the handle on all the right parts at a great price, when I was paying 2-3 times more in Los Angeles for the same stuff. Labor prices are reasonable and they get the job done quickly. Most of all, they know their stuff, from American to German cars, they've done it all. The owner also spent time working on racecars. The real ones, not that Lamb you have in your garage, which is not a real race car. They also rebuild engines (I saw a Cayenne here the other day they were rebuilding, and a really old Benz), should you need that service. So I'm out with my secret. You can thank me later. There's also a good body shop on the same block.

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.

Came here to get some suspension work done, on the recommendation of a friend…read more Parking is available in front of the building, but this can fill up. The owner/manager Danny (super chill and easy going guy) took care of me from the beginning. Usually I'm a bit edgy about trusting shops (including dealerships) as they've messed things up in my car before, but Danny was open when I mentioned the model-specific quirks for repairing my suspension. The other guys in the shop are easy going and friendly as well. I was able to guide them through the repair as the critical "quirky" parts of the procedures came up, and they were receptive. Very special mention for this, as most shops often have the "I know more than you do" attitude, followed by the "oh, I didn't know this repair for your car is different from other models, think I broke something" garbage. The entire shop is quite easy going, and there are cars going into and out of this place all the time. As a result, the work may take a bit longer, as the crew are switching back and forth between vehicles. But they have a nice lounge with Netflix, which kept me entertained. I also saw them offer other customers a lift to somewhere nearby such as Metropolis so they wouldn't be stuck at the shop for a few hours. During my repair, Danny even pointed out some failed components I didn't even know had broken. A quick call to the dealer to order parts, and I was back the next day. This repair took a while, but the shop was busy that day and I knew they were squeezing me in as a courtesy. No complaints. When the alignment was slightly off (common if the suspension isn't fully settled) after I picked up the car, Danny took the car right back in, no questions asked. He even took me around for a test drive so he could see the problem for himself. The price for replacing 4 controls arms, inner tie rod, and subsequent 4-wheel alignment(s) came to under $300 - almost too low, to be honest. Let's see the dealer do this work for under $1000. My suspension is now buttery smooth, and this shop has earned itself a loyal customer. Highly recommended.

I had a small oil leak somewhere and took my car to Juan's based on a recommendation. They specialize in German cars (lots of Porsche's), but not limited to these alone. From the time I booked my appointment to the day picked up my vehicle, A+ experience. Highlights: 1) great communication, got a call from Cody everytime there was an update. 2) Honest, they actually told me it wasn't that bad and could wait to do the repairs...who would say that, 3) price, let's face it German cars are expensive to repair, however the final price tag was very reasonable and fair. I will be going back to Juan's for servicing and other repairs based on first impressions. Thank you!!

It's rare to meet someone who's so willing to make amends for something that's happened in the past.
