I've owned cars for 24 years, and in that time, I've worked with my fair share of mechanics--but…read morenone have come close to the level of care, professionalism, and genuine customer service I've experienced at Barney's Automotive, especially from Owen. From the very first visit, I was struck by how personal the experience was. Owen greeted me by name, took the time to listen, and made me feel like more than just another service ticket. That personal touch means so much--especially in an industry where it's easy to feel like you're being rushed in and out. What truly sets them apart is their unmatched customer service. Even when I've needed last-minute help, they've always gone out of their way to fit me in. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and their safety. Owen is also incredibly thorough when it comes to explaining what needs to be done. There's never any pressure, just honest recommendations and clear communication. Whether it's routine maintenance or unexpected repairs, I always leave feeling confident that my car--and my time--were respected. Barney's isn't just a great shop. It's a rare gem in the automotive world. After two decades of car ownership, I can honestly say this is the best experience I've ever had with any mechanic. If you're looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and truly customer-first place, this is it.

A friend took me and the tire to Barney's at 5 pm and they told me they would repair the tire first thing in the morning. At 9:30 am, I received a text saying the tire was "good to go".

Unfortunately, they installed the wrong part on my car (windshield wiper motor) that wasn't a direct fit to my vehicle and was not able to calibrate and kept popping up halfway up the windshield. The issue was obvious the moment I picked it up. Unfortunately we had to leave for our 5 hour drive home and couldn't stick around Whistler area for him to fix the mistake. The owner acknowledged it and refunded labor--but then failed to follow through on the rest. We agreed on a clear resolution: I'd get it fixed back home and return the incorrect part, and he'd reimburse me for the part (1st half before I shipped the part back and second half after he received it) for ~$445 CAD. I did exactly that--paid for the repair, shipped the part back internationally (cost me about $90 CAD in shipping), sent tracking, and followed up. He never paid a cent of what he agreed to for the cost and return of the bad part. Instead, he stopped responding entirely despite me calling 30+ times over the course of multiple weeks, leaving multiple voicemails and sending email. One time he answered the phone, said "hi this is Rob," and the second he realized it was me, he hung up. After that--no responses to calls or emails. He also refused delivery of the returned part at customs (leaving it abandoned in transit), which shows exactly how seriously he takes honoring his word. This wasn't just a mistake. It was a clear agreement to fix it, followed by complete avoidance and no follow-through. If something goes wrong here, don't expect them to stand behind their work. Finding mechanics whom you can trust can be difficult, fortunately, your search can be a little bit faster as you can scratch this one off the list.

We called Whistler Towing so we could have them put the "donut" spare tire on our car and we could get to our place in Squamish.

We really appreciated Matthew's quick thinking and honest service, especially when he probably just wanted to finish up for the day and grab a beer! Thanks again for all your help!
