Had to get front brakes done urgently, as they were checked by my usual mechanic in Coquitlam. I was nervous to drive the highway, so looked up a few shops in my area. I found Kingsway Brake and muffler. So I called first and talked to one of their mechanics. Estimate was reasonable and they could get me in the next day. Headed over... courteous service and said they would check to see what needed to be done, and confirm with me before they got started. I got a call saying front brakes are in need of replacement, and quoted me just over $500 for parts and labour. It was done and ready that same day! Happy customer!! read more

I had an excellent experience with Kingsway Brake, and highly recommend them. Was having repeated front brake lockup while driving in stop/go city traffic. Two other shops charged me for repairs, but these did not solve the problem for long. I was at my wit's end. Many thanks to Tuong and Tam at Kingsway for really listening to me and treating me with utmost respect despite my car's "weird" problem. read more

Did the brakes on my Mazda. Were able to get the parts within a day. Super friendly, fast service at a fair price!!! What more can you ask for? read more

Standing room only! Good go-to place for brake and exhaust work because I've had both done. They get the job done right and no B.S. over-selling. Be prepared to leave your car for half a day, all-day, and/or take a day off work. Recommended by other mechanics and the bays are always full. If you phone they'll tell you to just come in, but 9 times out of 10 they are to full to look at your car. They don't make appointments. Now if only this business can expand, improve the aforementioned practices, this place'd be great? read more

I've been taking my cars to Tam for the last 7 years. These guys do great work. Very knowledgeable, courteous, and fair. They'll never try to sell you a job you don't need and most times don't charge for extra work they've done. It's all about keeping the customers long term. Great guys, very dependable. Not many mechanics like them around anymore. my cars: Jeep Grand Cherokee, Mercedes C300, Mazda Protégé, Ford Ranger. all serviced by Tam. read more

Had an appointment booked a week in advance, called the day of to confirm appointment, and now told they can't do it, and wasn't notified beforehand. Seems like unreliable service, wish I had booked somewhere else, as it is too late to be serviced for the long weekend now. read more

I had a broken brake line and lost most of my brake fluid. Since I had only rear brakes, I couldn't make the commute to my work so, I chose the closest brake shop to my home. Normally, I would do a job like this at my work because I am an RV dealer. The repair was done quickly and at a reasonable price. However, I had to resist the sales pitch that I needed new calipers and brake pads. I know my calipers are worn however, my brake pads were replaced only 15,000 km ago by my own staff! read more

First time there today. I was sent there from another shop that wasn't able to do my muffler. I looked them up on yelp and they have good reviews so I thought I would try them out. Tam was straight up, gave me a quote and stuck to it. I have an older car and parts are getting harder to find. Tam said he would try, but might have to go with a non stock muffler. I said that was fine. When I went to pick up the car, he had said he spent all day trying to find the original muffler....and he did. I was quite impressed that he went out of his way to do that. Most guys would have just made it easy on themselves and got one that fit, and that would be that. I will definitely go back there, and I will recommend him to whoever needs some work done. read more

One of the few honest mechanics left in Vancouver. Great and speedy service. Before getting to work they gave me a very reasonable quote. I am very happy with the work and their customer service. Would recommend to anyone who needs brake, muffler or any other mechanical work done. read more

I finally got fed up with my extra loud exhaust system and took my car to my backyard mechanic buddy. He replaced the damaged flex pipe and pointed out that my muffler was rusted right through. He told me to find a muffler place for repairs. I chose Kingsway Brake & Muffler. It had good reviews and was in my neighbourhood. He gave me a quote I could afford and told him to proceed, however, additional parts were required as they exhaust pipe was also rusted away. I only had enough money for the muffler job so he suggested weld a patch onto the exhaust pipe instead of replacing the whole thing. That saved me about $200 when money was really tight. I got the car back that afternoon with no appointment. The price was right, the service excellent and the mechanics operate with honesty and integrity. I have returned for brake repairs and remain completely satisfied with the results. read more

These guys are in my neighborhood so I gave them a try after deciding it was time I stopped taking my 1993 Plymouth Voyager to the dealer for service. I've been very pleased with their work and the prices seem reasonable to me, so I've kept going back to them. I asked them to replace the exhaust donut (flexible joint between the engine and the rest of the exhaust system) because it squeaks - this seems to be a common issue that rears its head every few years. They actually tried to talk me out of it, saying it wasn't really necessary, so that gave me confidence in their honesty. On another occasion I asked them to fix my driver's side mirror because it was coming loose and I couldn't see an easy way to tighten it myself. After leaving the vehicle with them they discovered that they could access and tighten the screws by moving the mirror to the limits of its travel. When I picked up the vehicle they didn't even charge me for the work. Other work I've had done includes exhaust hangar replacement, A/C evaporator and heater core replacement, and some electrical repairs, and I've been very satisfied with all of it. The only deficiency I've encountered was low coolant level after the heater core was replaced, which I was easily able to remedy on my own. read more

Tom, the store manager, is really helpful even the first call to them, after visited the store and talked to the people, I found that they are very experienced on different cars , as they are not only good on muffler and almost everything about the cars, my visit made me to understand more about the store, they gave me a very good advice and did a good job on my car, I will definitely introduced more friends and colleagues to them. Price is really reasonable too. amazing that they have the stock for almost everything, it is a kind of treasures store to visit. read more

I brought in my BMW X5 for 4 brakes replacement service recently, Tam provided an excellent services, knowledgeable, on schedule, same day finished and used all OEM parts. No surprise and really is no different to the dealer services but only with fraction of price. Thanks! read more

I was driving down Kingsway and i got an odd thumping in my grand Cherokee. Dennis at Canadian upholstery said they were good so i tried them out. he test drove it and them put it on the hoist and discovered the front drivers side caliper was seized.He gave me a quote and did my front brakes and even gave me the choice of how far to go. new calipers, disks and pads, checked and topped up my oil, and all installed in a few hours and he even cut me a better deal when i came back and he drove me home and picked me up. this was real good cause it would have taken me two buses. good guy, good honest work. Many people ask me where to to and i would recommend these guys, thanks Tam read more

I first took my 21-foot-long, ¾ ton Dodge camper van with an extended roof, 9'-10" high for a front-end repair quote because Kingsway B & M have a hoist large enough to handle that size of vehicle. The quote I got was 25% less than I expected. They did the job plus checked the vehicle over at no extra charge. The list of needed repairs along with items to watch was a great help and I in time got them to rebuild the all the running gear. Total cost about $4,000. Sold the camper the next year for $7,000 more than I bought it for. Thanks guys. These guys are great workers, technicians and honest tradesmen. They now do all my vehicle repair work and I trust them. read more

Honest mechanics. Hard to come by these days. I am new to the city so have only been there once, but they will have my business going forward. read more

Hi Yelpies. I haven't gotten the work done yet, but for now, I'm rating the experience really pleasant. I'll be back in town with my car to get the brakes done shortly (I had picked up the parts in the States) and don't have time / logistics at the moment to have local mechanic do it (brake shoes, drums). Total quoted price for labor only = $100 (or less if just takes an hour, i.e., $89). My mechanic is $68 back home, but this is reasonable given the circumstances. I like that the mechanic, Tho (sp?) was straightforward and willing to take my new parts purchased elsewhere. I promise to update post after the experience. Best. JB read more

Appointments are not needed, I brought my Nissan in with a cracked muffler pipe. Tho Cao was very nice and friendly, he gave promptly gave me a reasonable ETA and asked if I live close by so I wasn't stranded without a car for the repair time. I also asked that he check the tie road on the passenger side. Within 1 hour he called to say what the issues were (exactly as I had described, no elaboration on 'imaginary' problems), only straight to the point pricing and he asked permission to move ahead. He also offered to check the brakes and didn't push when I said they're good. Within a couple hours all the welding was done and I had a new tie rod. The work was less than 3 hours and less than $300 including all the parts and labour. A good job, very friendly staff and they seemed really honest. I will return if my car needs more work :) read more

Decent prices. The work was completed within a day. They seem to cut deals if they job is large enough, like replacing two front wheel bearings. read more
