Do not bring your half empty propane tanks here. They do not weight it at all and then charge you a set price!Very ridiculous to pay for propane you did not receive! No sign that indicates set price.

Must give the gas station owner and the workshop technician five star for helping my son repair the car windshield to stop the crack moving further . The fact that he was willing to help after hours is a blessing. Great help !

The alternator on my truck went just outside of radium and we were stuck with a 30’ trailer in tow. Luckily enough we broke down just across from Gas Plus. I went in there first thing in the morning, and although Ron couldn’t fit me in for a repair, he did order me the part, and I changed it out on my own. It may not have been the bargain price you could get from a parts store, but we were stranded, had no way of getting it ourselves and it arrived about the same time I pulled the dead one out - so to me it was worth every penny. We truly appreciated the friendly service we received and if you’re in a jam, this is the place to go.

Our car broke down just outside of Radium, and was taken to Radium Gas Plus for service. They got us back on the road quickly at an excellent price. Highly recommend them based on our experience.

Just so that everyone knows, we have just so say had a “complete trailer hitch and wiring harness” installed by the garage in Radium Hot Springs “Radium Hot Springs Gas Plus” at 7507 Main Street West.The “manager” quoted us a price of $969 which included “2 hours labour”, even though he told my husband that it would take three hours to do. For some reason, he did not install the “tongue” as we had requested, and were led to believe was included, so we are now left having to purchase even more for a job he was supposed to have completed!In addition, suddenly, when we went to pick up the car, he demanded payment of over $1304 (an extra $350-ish) and refused to take the car down off the lift until he had been paid every penny, effectively holding our car and us ransom until he got what he wanted. He claims he spent four and a half hours on the car. We dropped the car off at 1015 this morning and went to pick it up at 2:30 when requested by him via telephone. Who knows how long he was actually working on our vehicle, but something seems rather off with his timing!Before agreeing to do the work, and providing us with a quote, he wanted to know the make, model and even VIN number of the car so he “could be sure to get the right stuff to install”. BUT, somehow he did not even install the correct tongue so we cannot tow anything as yet. He also claims that from 0915 to 1430 is four and a half hours and has charged us approximately $350 extra for doing an incomplete job!In our opinion, this man is a rip-off artist and should be avoided at all costs. He does not do the work he says he will, and holds your car ransom unless you pay him what he wants. He did not even complete the job because we still have to go out and buy more parts to complete it! Karma will get you, you deceitful man, and I hope it hits you VERY, VERY HARD!

Such a rip off artist.. did not honour his quote… charged us $350 more for not even completing the job… held our car hostage until we paid him what he demanded. Claimed he had worked on the car for longer than it was even there! So dishonest! Only gave him one star because you cannot give zero stars, which is what this lousy service deserves

Dreadful service... total rip off... he gave us a quote for $969 then increased it by almost $350 and held our car hostage on the lift until we paid him what he demanded! He didn't even do what he said he was going to do.. we have to pay even more for parts now and he did not do what he promised! Only gave him one star because you cannot give zero!

Despite an onslaught of anxious travellers and half his team not showing up (he was a solo act), last Sunday Greg the Mechanic somehow found the time to fix our flat tire by end of day so we could find our way home safely. A rough shift didn’t stop him from coming through for us.Thanks, Greg. On that day, you were our hero!

I would like to begin my review by stating that I rarely write negative reviews about businesses. I support small business and it is not my preference to speak negatively about services however my recent encounter with the Gas Plus mechanic shop has left me utterly disappointed. What should have been a simple request for a quote turned into a petty disappointing experience, as they held our car hostage and demanded payment for work that had not yet been done.After our car broke down three hours away from Calgary, we had it towed to The Gas Plus Mechanic Shop in the hopes of receiving a fair and reasonable quote for the necessary repairs. The mechanic walked over to the car with me, gave it a listen after I topped it up with oil and confirmed the worst, it needs a new engine. This totalled max 20 minutes, if that. I asked them to get me a quote for the work, I had not yet received a quote, so I arranged to get it towed back to Calgary for my local mechanic to fix. Little did I know that I was about to encounter a shop that lacks compassion and integrity.Instead of providing me with the quote, they decided to hold our car hostage, claiming that we owed payment for the time spent "quoting" and inspecting the vehicle, a total of max 20 minutes. It was outrageous to discover that I was being charged for a service I hadn't even received yet, I never received a quote. I had no option but to pay this fee so the keys could be released to the tow truck driver, the fee was nominal, however this is not how business should be conducted.Charging me for merely looking at the oil and working on a quote that I never received is unjustifiable. It became clear that their sole intention was to extract a small fee from me, as I had no other option, Gas Plus mechanic shop refused to release the keys to the tow truck driver until we paid. I would have expected a mechanic shop be more compassionate and customer-oriented.Due to the delay in key release to the tow truck driver our tow back to Calgary was delayed, as the driver had to leave for another job. If Gas Plus mechanic shop would have told us there would be a fee to leave the keys at the shop and work on a quote we would have gladly paid the small fee upfront. The surprise call from the tow company stating the shop refused to release the keys as we owed money was very petty. We had our local mechanic lined up to complete the engine replacement this weekend and due to Gas Plus mechanic shops unethical business practices we are now further delayed.It is deeply disheartening to encounter such callousness in an industry that should prioritize customer care.When seeking automotive services, it is crucial to choose shops that value compassion, integrity, and fair business practices. Sadly, Gas Plus mechanic shop failed on all counts. Let our unfortunate experience serve as a warning.

Wow!! On vacation picked up a nail and slow leak in a tire. Called Gas Plus Radium and spoke to Greg. Told me to come by, took a look and did the repair. Maybe an easy fix but he took the time to get us back on the road. Price very reasonable and front of store staff very good! Great job Greg and thanks again!!

Chad was an amazing mechanic incredibly helpful we were travelling through radium when we got a flashing engine light and a lack of power. We brought our vehicle to chad at gas plus, he took us without any notice. he fixed it within an hour and half and even with driving to get the parts. Chad explained to me and showed me what was faulty and even did some preventive maintenance!!! Would 100% recommend such a good mechanic!!!!

We had some tire issues on Sunday while on holidays. Gas Plus was recommended. The staff were professional, helpful and the price was great. Chad took the time to show us the damage on the tire and explained everything. We will be back if we are in Radium and run into more issues.

The younger guy working in the store is as rude as they come. Lied to me multiple times when I was dealing with an emergency break down with myself, another woman and a child in the vehicle. Then when I called him on it he yelled at me. When I came to get my vehicle as the mechanic was booked and I was told he wasn't, he was rude again and refused to let me even speak to the mechanic to ask a quick question. If you need assistance go somewhere else as he is as rude as they come and could use some customer service classes! Highly suggest against supporting this business!
