    I was travelling to the Valley on a nasty winter day and had a flat tire while in HRM. After being…read moreturned away by 10 tire shops (including Portland Street Honda where I purchased the vehicle new less than a year ago and the winter tires less than two weeks ago), I was driving by Gary Murphy Automotive and decided that I'd try one last time. Although they were busy, they didn't hesitate to help me out and had me on my way in less than an hour. Very friendly and prompt service. They renewed my faith in business in Halifax/Dartmouth. Please give these folks your business.

    Dropped truck off aug 31. Absolutely the worst mechanic I have ever been to. Told me it would be…read more1-2 days to look at vehicle as I could have towed it to several other places. They lied about their workload and avoided my voicemail and repeated unanswered calls for 2 weeks until I showed up in person with a tow truck. He had my work order right next to the secretary when I walked in and said what I needed and that it was back ordered. Made me lose 2 weeks of work pay not knowing what was going on with my vehicle and that it would be months waiting. Said I needed coolant lines for overheating and just rear tires for the MVI. Had my truck for 3 1/2 months and gave me it back without the MVI done and it being undriveable....He told me all I needed for MVI was two rear tires in October when mvi was up. I dropped tires off and the next 5 calls I made to him the secretary kept saying she didn't know the mvi needed to be done. 5 times in a row! Upon thrm saying my truck was ready for pickup, ai asked if thr MVI was done. He gave me a list of 10 things that needed to be done for MVI and my truck was not road safe! He took my wheel spacers off because he didnt have the right wheel lugs, without asking me now I have to pay someone to put them back on. He also put the wheels on the front when he told me it was the rear that needed changing. This clown also gave me my two rims back with the old tires still on the rims!!! Ill have yo pay someone to take them off as they arent usable. AVOID THIS SHOP. After taking the vehicle they had for 3 months to another mech for the the mvi he said there was so much frame rot he couldn't believe Gary would have takrn my $1400 for the coolant lines just to have a truck thats a write off. They lied to me, ignored endless calls, never set expectations for work needed for MVI, lied about the MVI, took advantage of me and literally gave me a unroad safe vehicle after taking my money.

    My sister and I both had appointments to have our tires changed. They told my sister that she had…read morean exhaust leak that was bad enough that her car wouldn't pass an MVI. They told.me that I needed an oil change and that my tires were rotting and I couldn't use them next winter. I had just had an oil change 3 weeks prior, but said nothing as my instincts told me they were trying to swindle me. I did however tell the owner that when Mighty put them on for me in October, they told me my tires looked brand new. The owner just shrugged. We had my sisters car looked at by another mechanic and guess what? No exhaust leak. Zero. I'm curious as to what they're doing poking around anyway, when they were only supposed to change tires. I will never go back there again.

    Saw the 50% off MVI sigh and I HAD to post…read more Took my car 4 year old car (at the time) here 2 years ago. Huge mistake. Buddy puts a reject sticker on my car and takes me in to the lift. Shows me what he called a knuckle on one side and said "see how it's different from the other side?" I saw some difference in the shielding which was housing the joint. So I asked him what it did. He said it was he didn't know. HE ACTUALLY TOLD ME TO MY FACE HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT DID!! So the fella working the front desk calls the dealer. But since he didn't know what part he was looking for he had to call the mechanic back in to talk to them. After about 20 mins they said the dealer had the part. $300 for the part $400 for labour. I drove off with my reject sticker and got it looked at by the dealer. Got it inspected for $60 and drove it off an hour later. DO NOT BRING YOUR CAR TO THESE CLOWNS!
