I'm not mechanically inclined and they could have sold me a new part or some other maintenance. Not the case. I feel this is an honest shop as they told me that although the sensor had tripped, no evidence of damage was present and that all seems ok with my engine. The $45 price tag that come with this is somewhat disappointing, but that's the price of having a car I guess. Honest people there. I feel good about going there and referring others.

5 years ago I encounterd a small automotive mechanic business as I had picked up a friend in Fort…read moreErie, Ontario, Canada and on the way back just steps from my house the radiator hose sprung a pinhole leak from the wear and tear on the old car (2007). As I was on my way up to the Northern part of Ontario I had to stop at home and diagnose the problem. I was so upset that I bought transmission fluid instead of radiator fluid as both were red in colour and I thought I'd fix the problem myself. The next day when I had realized and read the bottle I was even angrier at no one but myself for being so smart. I looked up an automotive repair shop that was within driving distance and was offering to look at my car the next day. Long story short, Dave & the dudes flushed my radiator clean of the transmission fluid and not only that the did an oil change fixed my front brakes and charged me a very reasonable cost for their time on my vehicle. This automotive mechanic shop is few and far between with their expertise & professionalism from the time you enter their door til the time you race off in your fixed vehicle. Dave's a dude and the guys working for him have the know how on most all makes and models. That's why I keep going back and would recommend Total Automotive to anyone that wants to save a dollar and have reliable experts and parts installed on any make or model. It might take a day or two to recieve your car back, but the wait is worth it. Thanks again Total Auto Repair, Cause Dave Cares. See ya soon with my (2012) new old car.
