Hello do not use these guys. I purchased a transmission from them that was supposed to be in…read moreperfect condition. It turned out to be a dud. I spent $600 buying it from them and had to spend another $800 to get it repaired properly not including installation. I contacted owner Cory Scanlon and he was an idiot on the phone swearing and saying the people who installed it must not know what there doing. Funning thing is it was installed by a certified transmission specialist. He is not to be trusted and does not honor his word.

This shop is top notch! I've had my retro 1978 VW bus serviced by them multiple times and have…read morealways been very satisfied by the quality of their service and the final price at the end of the day. They clearly have a very skilled team of mechanics working at this shop who are dedicated to helping their clients the best they can. My last service was time-sensitive as I was set to head out on a road trip within the next few days, and this shop got all the work done in time and at a very reasonable price. If you're in Nelson BC and in a bind, I highly recommend calling these guys. 5/5 stars! - Liam

I brought a diesel in after it failed to restart after it was park overnight on the highway. Their…read moretech checked and couldn't get it going and all they can tell me was it is major engine failure. And will not be able to work on it until next week which is 3 days later. I drove out to check it out myself and held the starter for about 10sec the engine started and drove it home. I was nice enough to leave my number for them to call me so I can pay for what they have done. They charged me $204 plus $28 for diesel. I think that is excessive. Avoid this shop at all cost because they will take advantage of the situation.

In the middle of our 10 1/2 hour journey, our Toyota Tacoma began smoking and we had no choice but…read moreto pull over on a highway about 30 minutes outside of Castlegar. With no cell service in the area, we eventually got the truck started and coasted straight into the Castlegar dealership. From the minute we arrived, we were treated incredibly well and were reassured that the service techs would get to the bottom of the matter and that they would have us on our way again. We are always wary of dealerships but since we still had a few hours of driving, wanted the job done right. And Castlegar Toyota did a great job of quickly finding out the issue, even calling the quick lube shop that had serviced our truck the day before to confirm their procedures and confirmed that mistakes had been made. They had us back on the road within 1 1/2 hours (with a free bbq tool too!). The cost of their services we felt were very reasonable and comparable to other shops. We're grateful to the staff at Castlegar Toyota for getting us to our destination safely.

I'm not quite sure what's up with this dealership.

We stopped by again this past Saturday, walked the lot, went inside, tried to make eye contact with several employees and we weren't even acknowledged by the Customer Service desk, let alone a salesperson. This is the second time this has happened to us there. Guess we'll be visiting Nelson Toyota this weekend. Hopefully we meet someone who actually wants to sell a car there....

One VERY hot July day in Castlegar that my 80,000 km Ninja 1000se/sx chose to barf it's coolant  I was conveniently at a gas station a block away from a car wash and an auto parts store.  Unfortunately the magic rad sauce the fixes leaks did/could not help.  And there are no bike shops in Castlegar. Conveniently there is one in Nelson, 40 minutes away.  Gave Main Jet Motorsports a quick call and it went pretty well from that point on.  Not only will they pick up the bike, they'll drop me at the airport on the way back to the shop. I flew home to Victoria and in a few days got the call with the diagnosis. Parts need to come from Japan.  Gonna take a while, gonna cost a lot.  Which I fully expected. That's where Main Jet really showed their stuff.  I was treated like a long time customer, like I'd bought the bike from them.  A few weeks later when the work was done I was quite pleased that it was several hundred dollars LESS than I expected.  Flew back to Castlegar (no airport in Nelson) the  shop picked me up and I got to meet the crew at Main Jet then spent the next 3 days riding back to the island by way of some of the best roads on the continent. Outstanding service,  great people, very well stocked shop, fantastic location (West Kootenays....go ride there !!!). I really appreciated the respect and care I was shown by everyone I dealt with.  There's almost 20 people employed there.  That's local paycheques buying local groceries.  Local business is what keeps a community alive !!!  I dealt with Pat, Kai, Adam , Shad and Andrew and the best review I can offer is: I would deal with them again.  Of course I'd have to ride the West Kootenays again to do that.  How convenient  !!!
