Auto Repair near Crossfield, AB

“Excellent service. Did exactly what they said they would do and charged me exactly what they said they would charge me. Had a loaner car available, and even washed and charged my car for me. This was the first time in 15 years I've paid someone else to work on one of my vehicles, and I couldn't be happier with the experience.”

“Prompt, courteous, and fair priced.
Recently moved to Airdrie, and went there as recommended by a neighbour for OOP inspection. They also replaced my serpentine belt that had signs of cracking. I will definitely return in the future for required vehicle service”

“Did a full restore of the paint on my 1995 k3500 Chevy - from the start I was extremely impressed with the professionalism and attention to detail that this large job demanded. The results were excellent and would certainly use Bryan and the team for future projects.”

“I took my boat to winterize at Bow Ridge Sports in Cochrane, They installed the wrong impeller which caused an engine fire and substantial damage to my boat. The team at Dandy took my boat in, discovered the issues and pointed out many other errors made by Bow Ridge Sports. Bow ridge has since gone bankrupt and has left a lot of customers hung out to dry. Thank you to everyone at Dandy for helping me get my boat back in the water. Highly recommend the team at Dandy Auto Marine.”

“Stopped in twice now with my mom from Red Deer on our way to Calgary for cancer treatment. The first time we had forgotten to get her tires tightened after being switched over, and were in a rush. And the second time they had actually just closed but my mom's tire was reading low pressure. They came out, checked and topped up all 4 tires for no charge either time. Great guys!!!”

“my parents have been going to Airdrie Automotive for over 20 years and with the recent sale, I was a little uneasy if they were going to receive the same amazing service they have always gotten. Well, the last couple of weeks has been a tough one for our family and my dad ended up in the hospital, so my mom is driving into Calgary every day. The other day, her vehicle started making noise and smoking, had to get it towed from the NW. she got it in first thing Monday morning and Airdrie Automotive have taken care of her once again. They figured out what was wrong, which was a pain in itself and knowing my mom needs to go to the hospital every day, they set her up with some wheels till the part comes in and vehicle is fixed.
I’m in tears and I am so thankful that the owners that took over have carried on the same kind of service that Airdrie Automotive always has.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I appreciate you.”

I am so grateful, Thank You for treating me like Family🤗😁

“A big shout out to Kaden. He provided exceptional service and was a great help. Made me feel valued and will definitely come back as to get my tires changed. He deserves a raise!”

“Everyone here is very knowledgeable and take the time to fix things properly the first time. They have saved me money and time with the many places they know of to get replacement parts for my older vehicle. A group of very nice people!”

“Passing through town, had to do the whole front end in a day to make our way home ,
Very accommodating and professional. They even threw in a specialty lug nut tool.”

“Five stars without hesitation.

There’s a story behind this truck. My father bought this C10 new from GM in 1971 and drove it until the early 1980s. After that it became a fuel truck on our farm and saw a pretty hard life. I drove it in high school after my dad and I did our own farm-shop paint job, complete with plenty of Bondo. In 1998 I parked it in a shed when I left for university, and it stayed there until 2022.

When I pulled it out, I first had to clear out hundreds of dead mice. I revamped the drivetrain in 2022/23, and in 2024 decided the body finally deserved to be done properly.

I searched all over southern Alberta for a shop willing to take on an old C10 without turning it into a six-figure frame-off restoration. A well-known restoration shop in Crossfield verbally quoted me about triple what I ultimately paid Starfire. A large national paint and collision chain quoted around $15,000, but for a much more basic level of work and body repair.

In 2025 a friend’s father recommended Starfire. I met Dennis, who spent maybe 5–10 minutes looking over the truck, asked a few questions, and simply said “between 20 and 25.” No elaborate written estimate, no sales pitch, no deposit. Just an old-school handshake.

Our arrangement was that I wasn’t in a rush, so Dennis and Daniel at Starfire could work on the truck between more urgent collision and insurance jobs. Dennis also refused to take any money until the truck was completely finished.

They pulled the entire truck apart, replaced cab corners and rocker panels, straightened and realigned the body panels, installed new door hardware, deleted the original cab fuel-filler opening, and corrected decades of dents, waves, ripples and previous repairs.

Daniel is a true craftsman. The finished bodywork is absolutely flawless. The long bedsides are dead straight, the panel alignment is excellent, and the reflections in the paint show just how much work went into getting the body right. It genuinely looks like it could have just rolled off the factory floor.

When the job was finished in 2026, my total was under $25,000, right in the range Dennis gave me at the start. Given the amount of disassembly, metal work, bodywork, paint and reassembly involved, I consider that exceptional value.

This isn’t just an old truck to me. It’s the truck my dad bought new, the truck I grew up with and drove in high school, and one that spent more than two decades sitting in a farm shed waiting for another chance.

Dennis and Daniel at Starfire gave it that chance. I couldn’t be happier with the workmanship, the way I was treated, or the finished truck. Absolutely five stars.”

“The employees and owner here are amazing. I have a lemon of a car, yet some how they always keep it going for me. Every time there has been an issue over the years, they get my car in right away and fix it as fast as humanly possible. Their prices are better then the dealership and they saved me money by showing me where I would have been ripped off. They showed me things on the dealership's quote that didn't actually need done or that I had already paid for. My car now feels like it runs as good as the first year I had it. They are very busy so at times people may feel they are rude as I've seen in reviews, but I feel many people want to go to a shop and talk the mechanic's ear off and act like they know whats up with a car, when really they just need you to drop your car off and let them do their jobs. If something is wrong they'll tell you. Anyways, nothing but amazing work and prices from these guys if you ask me. I will refer anyone with car troubles to them.”

“We were on a road trip and these guys were extremely helpful. And managed to get us to the right place so we could get fixed and back on the road.
Everywhere else just told us sorry you will have to wait till next week. This company actually phoned and found us someone that could help us as they were also busy.
That’s the customer service that gets noticed. Thank you for all your help. We are enjoying our road trip with a working truck now.”

“I can't say enough about the incredible service I received from Sean at CNS Collision / Cam Clark Ford in Airdrie this morning. My sunroof unexpectedly exploded while driving from Medicine Hat, leaving me in a challenging and urgent situation, especially with the freezing fog and snow. I needed a secure emergency crash wrap to ensure my safety and make the three-hour drive back home.

Sean went above and beyond—he was friendly, professional, and genuinely cared about my situation. He took the time to make sure the wrap was done properly, giving me peace of mind for the long trip ahead. His expertise and willingness to help on short notice made all the difference.

If you're ever in need of top-notch service and a team that truly cares, I highly recommend Sean and CNS Collision. Thank you for the outstanding support!”
