He lets you watch assuming you are not a pain in the ass getting in the way. His labor prices are very low around 67 dollars an hour vs my dealer which is now up to 110 an hour. Honest because I study my truck as a hobby and know what he is talking about when he explains things. Never once over charged for a service even undercharged never round up hours. I been to his shop over 40 times mostly oil changes but also for major work. He also works quickly and does the job right. If you have to have the free coffee and tv to watch then go pay 110 at the dealer but if you want an up front honest mechanic and don't care about all that waiting room fluff then you need to goto Ian. Services all makes and models unless he tells you to goto the dealer example does not have an alignment machine may not be able to flash a PCM but all small shops are in the same boat on that one. Also he has John who I am sure has been doing auto repairs longer then most of you have been alive. If you go anywhere else to get your car, truck or van fixed and I find out I will be mad at you.

We got our annual vehicle inspection done here just a couple weeks ago and, even though we weren't pleased with the results, were happy with who helped us. The inspection itself only took about an hour. That's from the time the car was dropped off to the time of the call saying it was ready. We were pretty impressed with the speediness of their business. Sadly, the car had too many problems with it and wasn't necessarily worth fixing. We really appreciated that, when phoned by a mechanic at Todds, we were told exactly what was wrong, approximately how much it would cost and how long it would take. What we truly appreciated was the mechanic telling us it probably wasn't worth to fix. Normally a mechanic will just do the work and take your money, no matter how necessary it was. So now we're in need of a new car, but at least we don't feel cheated by the person doing the inspection. We were satisfied with the result and service at Todds, but certainly not happy about needing a newer car.

Having a need to replace my last car, and looking for something more reliable through a dealer I…read morefelt would be trustworthy, I completed a lot of research and concluded that O'Regan's would be my best choice. Filling in their websites quick form, I was surprised when they contacted me that same afternoon. The entire process of financing and purchasing my new car was quick and more importantly, painless. I have no problem recommending O'Regan's to anyone looking for a new or used vehicle. I was impressed with the friendly, respectful attitude from both Robert Drohan and Tine Kidd, and will happily recommend them to my friends and family. Thank you both for making my decision and purchase a pleasure. My only regret is that I hadn't dealt with O'Regan's for my previous vehicles. #HalifaxAuthor

Buying a car is always a stressful situation for me…read more Up until last summer, i owned a 1999 Toyota Camry, and I loved it dearly. But, there comes a time in every good car's life where maintenance costs aren't worth it, and it's time to get something else. Things like this are stressful, and as of last August, I was in a pinch to have more maintenance completed or find a new mode of transportation - fast. So, I set out on a Saturday with a clear head, a focused set of demands for a new vehicle, and the hope that I would soon have a solution to my problem. The first place I visited was the O'Regan's Used Car Centre. The sales specialist that greeted me was Dean Cook, and he immediately was able to define what I was looking for and come up with some suggestions. I can't say I was the easiest customer to deal with, but he was able to give me some perspective on some options that fit my criteria. I visited a few other used car locations that same day, but nothing else was able to compare to both the service and options that I was able to find at O'Regan's, and before the afternoon was out, I had made a purchase from Dean! It was a bit of a sudden transition to be offered to take home my new toy for the weekend and finish the paperwork on Monday, but I obliged. The staff here are a direct extension of the O'Regan group of companies, so the sales staff have access to all the O'Regan lots and will bring cars to you, if their is something in their database that you are interested in at another location. Additionally, they take trade-ins, made sure my car was washed, tossed in some free mats and did some break work on the car free of charge when I noticed a couple things I wanted adjusted. I really valued the time and attention that the staff give each customer here - there's a tendency to visit other used car locations and deal with seemingly shady salesman, but not here. I'd consider this the first and best spot to look for a 2nd-hand car in Halifax.

Jim (the previous manager or owner) knew what customer service was and appreciated customer loyalty. Things have drastically changed! Just today I called looking to get on a hoist for an urgent but quick repair to refasten the heat shield to the underside of my car. The front half had fallen down and is acting like a plough and is about catch and completely rip off. Something that really couldn't wait, right?! I figured they could slip me in for the 5 minutes it would take to run a couple of screws in while I I waited. NOPE!! I called and spoke to a woman and told her the issue and that basically the car is not drivable without almost certain further immediate damage. When I suggested they might slip me in for this quick repair, she just about laughed. She went on to tell me that 10 DAYS from now is the first time they could possibly look at it and that they had 50 cars waiting. Huh? Not; " We happen to be super busy today but I'll see what I can do, OR try back later this afternoon OR I'll put you on a list for cancellations. Nothing. No effort to help. What's the point of being loyal to a garage when the one time I need something small done quickly they don't even try to help me? WTF I was extremely disappointed after all these years. I guess I'll have to go somewhere else. It appears their days of customer service are done and trying to jam through as many cars as possible is what's important. : (

On May 15, 2023, this repair shop, OK Tire at Lady Hammonds Rd., replaced a converter, charged me…read more$1,304.10 just for the part, plus costs for labors and supplies. With the invoice showing the code of the part, I was able to check by Googling the market price of the part - only to realize that the part is selling for $659.97 by Parts Avatar, delivered for free across Canada. So, the repair shop got an exorbitant 97% margin on the part! This is repair services where you make living largely on labor and expertise, not on parts you just order and pass their costs to customers, especially given the part's great availability in the whole country. Being in the business, the shop certainly can get an even lower price from its regular suppliers. The shop could have suggested to me to get the part delivered at a much lower cost to their shop to get installed; instead, they FOOLED a customer by HIDING such a possibility just to make UNJUSTIFIABLE money of $636 ! That is total lack of transparency, honesty, and customer care in best, and deceptive business practice in worst.
