Made an appointment on Monday, told them I needed a wheel alignment and two front tires, I had…read morepreviously bought tires there and they were familiar with my car. I was to bring my car in Wednesday as early as possible. So after giving them two days notice, they didn't have the tires on hand, and after paying $170 for a "inspection" was told that I needed an alignment, and new tires, and a back tire only had 5 psi... Strangely they assumed that I would leave my car in the parking lot until the next morning. (unlocked, as I discovered) but needing transportation, I left. After driving a few minutes, I checked my tire pressure and found it still had 5 psi. So I called them and asked if they put air in the tire and the response was no because we thought you were going to replace them. (but they didn't have them, even though they had two days notice to get at least two)... returned the next morning. I asked the owner as he arrived to work Thursday morning if it was reasonable to be without transportation for 30+ hours for a couple of tires and a wheel alignment? He replied that it wasn't uncommon! I don't think that is a reasonable standard for any shop!

Nothing but misleading communication and lies from these guys. Paid $1000 to DIAGNOSE a misfire, which should be a couple hours of work tops. They bill extra hours and don't do the work that they say they will. Wanted to charge an extra 1.5 hours of labor to put my car back together on top of the 8 hours of labor they billed for a simple diagnosis. That simple diagnosis got completed at another shop in 3 hours and i didn't have to wait around for 2 weeks before they touched my car. They also yanked fuses from my car for no reason and left them hidden in the interior (a sick joke for the less mechanically inclined!?) No response from them when i asked why they even opened my fuse box. A shame to the squamish community that we have shady shops like this in operation. Save yourself the headache, keep some cash in your pockets and get your car running quicker by bringing it ANYWHERE other then Newport Auto

I had a very unprofessional experience at this shop. I brought my vehicle in for an estimate and…read morehad it towed due to a flat tire and battery issues. I received no follow-up until I contacted them myself, at which point they provided an unreasonably high estimate. When I declined to proceed with the repairs, they suggested scrapping the vehicle to waive the diagnostic fee--while also stating it was still a very good vehicle. I declined and said I would pay the diagnostic fee. Although I arranged to pick the vehicle up, the shop insisted on delivering it. We agreed on several drop-off times, but they never followed through. Almost two months after the vehicle was first dropped off, I discovered it unexpectedly parked at the end of my cul-de-sac. I had not been informed that it was being returned. I was also home at the time, and no one knocked or attempted to notify me. There was room in the driveway, but they left the vehicle on the street. After I reached out to ask where the key was, I was told (after I had already left on vacation) that the owner had left the vehicle unlocked, with the key under the mat. I asked them to please move it into the driveway--they never responded. I had to call BCAA to move it myself. The same tow truck driver who originally delivered the vehicle immediately noticed significant body damage that had not been there before. He confirmed that the vehicle was undamaged when he dropped it off at the shop and had photos to prove it. I tried to resolve this through email, but the shop's owner, Payden, refused to take responsibility and insisted on a phone or in-person conversation--something I declined in order to maintain a written record. When I indicated I would be filing a small claims dispute, he sent me a rude, defensive, and accusatory email. Since then, he has made a point of mockingly waving at me during school drop-offs where both our children attend. I would strongly caution anyone against using this shop. My experience was unprofessional, dismissive, and ultimately caused damage to my vehicle.

Imagine if you will, driving your vehicle into a shop, knowing that the only thing needed to be…read morefixed was a wire end connection, that broke the positive wire free from the starter, everything else running perfectly fine, to hearing back from the shop that after they had fixed the wire, that now not only will your vehicle not start, but in trying to start it it makes a terrible grinding noise. Starter motor now obviously has a new problem. After poor treatment from shop staff, paying $150 for the wiring fix, and no information given as to how the vehicle you drove in, now needs to be towed to be moved, you tow it to a friends shop to find out the cause. In examining you find that not only did they do a shotty job on the connection fix, but they had obviously taken out the starter motor to make room to do the fix, and most likely dropped the starter motor in process, because the nose cone of the starter was broken, and the broken off piece was just dropped inside the transmission casing, hence the terrible sound. The shop took no responsibility for their f' up, even knowing that the starter was new, and still under warranty. Welcome to SK Auto! I have never had worse treatment or service in my life, and can not worn enough people to STAY AWAY FROM THESE SHYSTERS!!!!!!!
