“31 December 2023.
Car engine light comes on while driving to an event. After the event and on starting the car, the engine light was still on.
We had our car towed to your Center. The following day was a holiday. On January 2, Megan arranged to get our car in for service. The shortened week was already blocked full of work. Yet Megan fitted us in and in 2 days, we had our car back due to Cory's diligence in efficiently doing his work and Megan's regular updates.
All of this was done sooner than we expected (by a day) and under the quoted cost! Such service is not often seen anymore.
Once again Larry, thanks for providing top notch service right in our own neighbourhood.
Greatest regards,

Thank you Larry, for the continued service your team provides. This work was to replace a worn ball joint, control arm and consequential wheel alignment. The work was done in the allotted time and under the quoted cost.
Thank you again for work well done.
Best regards,

Today, 8 October, the oil was due for changing. I had the car in for 7:45AM. The yard was already full of vehicles for repairs but despite that, the work on my car was done quickly and I was able to finish some errands on the 8th, I had planned for the 9th.
Thank you Larry, for this continued service your team provides. It's service one doesn't often see ..... anywhere! Megan and Will communicate repair progress efficiently to clients. To me this is important, for a number of reasons.
Thank you again for this superior service! It's top shelf!

“Bench Automotive has been so great with our cars. They are trusted with what needs to be repaired and what can wait for another time and they help source the best prices.”
“These people are the most honest auto shop I have dealt with in my 45 years of car ownership. They treat you like a true customer by respecting your business. I recommend them, highly.”
“The best automotive repair shop in the city. I send my whole entire family there. Laurie only fix what needs to be fixed. With no hassle and he will tell you wat else needs to be repaired. He is like a blessing.”
“Above and beyond service for our car! They take every moment to.communication diligently without being over bearing. They communicate with you about your emotional well being while also making sure your car is being taken care of. Thanks folks!”
“This shop has amazing people, and thank you for offering a shuttle service, it makes a world of difference.
Update: I dropped my rig for the 2nd time at Yuille autoworks. I beat up my rig pretty hard on the trails and I recently had an issue with the suspension components that I coudn't figure out. The guys worked the issue and fixed it in a reasonnable time frame and I am very satisfied with the result. They realigned the truck to perfection as well and the thing runs like new again. Incredible work thanks a bunch guys.”
“I bought a set of four tires for my truck at Scotia Tire about 6 months ago. Today I went in there to get a tire on my wife's vehicle repaired. It had a nail in it. They repaired the tire, no appointment needed, and did it for free. Thank you Scotia tire for looking after me. Great customer service experience! I'll be back.”
“A friend recommended this shop to me for a quick brake job. Service was not only quick and friendly, but also very affordable when compared to other shops.
Edit: Since writing this review five years ago, I have made this my primary location for anything I have had to get done to my cars over the years, and I recommend them to everybody. I would give this place higher than 5 stars if I could.”
“I blew a tire on the shabby road repairs on the Bedford Highway. I brought my car in expecting the worst, $200-$300. The crew hammered out the rim, filled the tire, and put the spare back in place for a grand total of $0.00. I was in shock, I have gone to Scotia Tire on Robie numerous times and they are always helpful but this was completely unexpected. Thank you so much. :)”
“Had plenty of work done here over the years, the staff is amazing and very professional. Always greeted with a friendly smile and the work they do in the time they do it is too notch and un matched anywhere else”
“Perfect experience. Honest service and good prices . Went there after being recommended by a coworker as I'm new in town. These guys will definitely become my go to mechanics”
“Easy and great experience from the crew at NS Diesel. Brent was quick and provided me with a quote for a level kit and AT tires for my Ram. Appoitment was smooth and quick, highly recommended place for all your truck needs! will be back again.”
“A car is like a family member and they will treat your car like family. Darren and his team will make sure your car gets the maintenance it needs, and make sure you are satisfied!”
“my 2011 Acura TSX developed a charging problem where an unknown something? was shorting out and draining the battery, requiring constant jump starts. Notorious for being hard to track down. These guys have been around for years, decades actually and have always had a reputation for being good with electrical problems but they've moved several times and I finally found them in their new location in Spryfield. They kept the car for two days but kept me updated on progress and finally found the short in the audio system of all things and were able to run a bypass so it's disconnected from the battery while the car is off so no more drain. for all that work they charged me less than $500 for that part of the job so I'm more than satisfied. Easy to deal with and highly recommended!”
“I had 2 vehicles in for exhaust and blown brake line. They were friendly, quick, efficient, and came in cheaper then I calculated the end cost to be. They have been my mechanic since I moved to cole harbour in 2014.”
“I had them put a transmission in 2003 GMC they did a better job than the dealer they put the one in before I had Bemister motors did for me the transmission w I worked perfectly and I had and used the truck for 10 years before I sold the truck and it was still working perfect. The cost of the job was three times cheaper than the dealer and I told them I needed a vehicle to drive while mine was down and they did that for me it was finished in 2 days they did a great job and and used me good I would recommend them in the highest way Thank you Mr Bemister.”
“Very grateful for their help. I was travelling from Ontario to the Cabot Trail and found that my breaks was not in good shape, they helped me to get it fixed in a matter of few hours.”
“If I could give 10 ⭐️ I would. They were absolutely amazing. I had to wait there because my drive fell through. They got me in right away and in no time they were done. I had a dash camera which they were able to keep the wiring as before. I can’t say enough about the amazing staff there. Thank you for everything ?”
“Got my truck done. Not sure how the product will hold up as it’s only been a few weeks, but the service was great and it was nice you got to see them work on your vehicle though the windows in the waiting room.”
“Very happy customer. Faced with the potential need for a replacement of several thousand dollars for parts and labour, I brought my car to Speedy on Robie on the recommendation of others as their technicians have the training and ability to weld and repair. For a tenth of the cost a permanent repair was made, a testament to the skill and experience of their team. Thank you.”
“Never thought I'd say this about a dealership but I enjoy going there. Service advisors are professional and caring, same with the sales team. Everyone there just wants to ensure you're completely satisfied and they don't try to upsell, nor is there any pressure.”
“I got my 2023 F150 undercoated here for the first time. Usually I do all of my own undercoating at home in my shop since I have a hoist and most undercoating places do not do a thorough job. Checking the job afterwards they did miss quite a few places underneath, but I knew what I was getting going to a larger Krown shop. I gave four stars because overall it was a bit better than expected and much better than the previous truck I owned that I got sprayed at a rust check location.
Overall I would recommend them, it’s better than nothing if you’re not able to do it yourself!”
“Had flukey A/C the past few years and could never get answers. After talking with Trevor he was knowledgeable and able to replace my A/C compressor at a fair price and quickly.”
“I went with a broken door handle. I did not have the skills and they fixed it free of charge. It has held for three years. I needed the 2nd and third one fixed. Same problem .....same charge. I will recommend this shop to everyone. Anyone else would have charged.”
“Amazing experience! The Salesman, Jay, worked very hard in getting me the car I was looking for and at a great financing price that I could afford. Great service, and highly recommend!”
“Never expected to be writing a review about great service after waiting over three months to have my car repaired, but here we are. The delay was primarily due to parts availability and the dealer, but the service I received from Jennifer Scully helped ease my frustrations.
Firstly, their email service is extremely helpful. I always knew the status of my vehicle, and the notes Jennifer added often included additional detail to keep me informed. This saved me from having to keep track and make calls, as the updates came regularly and often.
When I did call with questions Jennifer was always friendly, helpful and extremely knowledgeable. Everything was dealt with in one call, and I was always made to feel as if my business mattered. She obviously takes pride in her work and is very customer focused. She is a great ambassador for the business. Pick up was seamless, as she arranged for me to come in early to fit my schedule and my car was super clean and parked right out front.
I sincerely hope I never have to deal with Chapman’s again (nothing personal just not looking to get in another accident) but Jennifer made the repair process much easier to navigate and did it all with a smile on her face.”
“Counter staff seemed to be very knowledgeable and interested in my concern over a worn engine part ... Their experience and advice gave me options , and I made an informed decision to order a replacement part , which they were able to do in a very timely matter .”
“I’ve been using the car repair services at this location even before OK Tire took over, and it’s still a great place because of the excellent team working there.
For the past three years, I’ve brought in our three Toyota vehicles for everything from routine maintenance to MVI inspections, and I’ve always been impressed with their service.
With my workplace just a 10-minute walk away, it’s incredibly convenient. Repairs, inspections, and services have always been completed on time, and they’ve been quick to order parts or replace anything when needed. They’ve also been very patient with my questions, always offering clear explanations and cost-effective repair options.
It’s no surprise they’re often booked a week or more in advance—this location is in high demand for good reason. I highly recommend OK Tire here, even if it means risking longer wait times for my future appointments.”
“The staff at Wilsons are awesome. I had a noise in my car that sounded like metal grinding. I was concerned about driving my car too far. The mechanic worked on my ca for an hour, drove it, took the tires off, searching for the noise I heard. He finally found it. A heat shield had come loose on my Kia Sportage. I happened to notice another customer there with the same issue. He also drove a Kia. I was so very grateful to know my vehicle is safe to drive. Thank you for the great customer service, I always receive when I come to the station.”
“I had a great experience last week. I just bought a used car from a dealership and it needed a quick formal quote before the guarantee period expires, and the car was inspected within the same day and I got the quote right away. After a few days I left my car and it was fixed also within the same day. Kind and efficient team!”
