“Folks here are really kind and helpful! We were traveling from Ontario, and on the second day of our trip, we started hearing a sound on the highway. Once we reached Sydney, we discovered the sound was incredibly loud, and we weren't going to be able to continue our road trip to Newfoundland the next morning.
After some word-of-mouth recommendations, we were told to try this shop for the repair. My friend showed up before 8:00 AM, and they were more than happy to take our car in and agreed to keep it on-site while we were away. That very same afternoon, they diagnosed and fixed the problem.
When we returned 10 days later to pick up the car, we were absolutely awestruck by their kindness and generosity. They didn’t charge us a single penny for fixing our heat shield or for letting us park our car there for all those days!
Your Atlantic hospitality and kindness completely saved our trip. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our car.
If anyone needs help with a car problem while they are in the area, please give this shop your business!”

“Knowledgeable service with a shop that took the time to find all the problems.
The nicest shop we never hoped to meet while on vacation from the states. Our truck broke down an hour away on a Friday afternoon and from the first call, it was clear we had the right place. AJ towed our truck (with our bikes on top) our camper and all 4 of us to Sydney, recommended a local campground that still had availability, helped us make sure the camper was setup and unload the bikes before taking the truck to the shop. Super service after hours on a Friday. The shop diagnosed the problem right away the next week, but the parts were on back order from the manufacturer. Additionally, while they had the transmission out they checked everything thoroughly and found another problem. Fixed up and it’s all like new, just drove it back home 27 hours and no problems.
The breakdown certainly wasn’t what we had planned, but when a shop could have turned down the work for out of towners, or charged us a ridiculous sum (what else were we going to do anyway?) they kept it thorough and fair. And they were great to work for the whole process.”
“Gary and his staff know everything, if your truck is broke, Gary is your -go -to guy. He'll have you fixed up the same day usually. And his prices can't be beat, an added bonus.”
