“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.

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!

“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”

“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!”
“I took my Car to Keizers in Bayers Lake after an car accident. The staff on the desk were very help full and the appraiser took my Car to see what the parts that would be needed for repairs. They gave me a date to bring my Car in and told me that they would book be a rental for me and gave be date that the Car would be ready. They texted me every day to give me an update and then a text that my Car was ready for pick up a week early. I could not believe the Car when first seen it, it looked like a brand new Car inside and out. Ant the repair was perfect .I strongly recommend Kaisers complete staff for their great job on my car.”
“I recently bought a new Tucson and had the pleasure of dealing with Troyce Ashe who helped me in purchasing my new car. He was fantastic, knowledgeable, kind and did everything he could to get me into the vehicle I wanted. Highly recommend dealing with Troyce.”
“The reception staff at Toybox were polite and helpful. I took my car in for an inspection. The mechanic seemed to be thorough and detailed, and also polite. My experience here was good and I wouldn't hesitate to return in the future.”
“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”

“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've was referred to this garage by a former college. Since I've been going here, I have received excellent service at competitive prices. Knowledgeable mechanics and fantastic customer service. Glad I made the switch to this place.”
“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 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. :)”
“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.”

“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.”

“Upfront with everything. Good communication and quote before they start. No surprises. They don’t offer a courtesy car and it can be tricky to get in though it’s never been an issue for me. Definitely worth the wait”
“These guys are the real deal! Very helpful, very knowledgeable and to top it off their prices were the cheapest in the city. I went over to have my tires done last minute and they hooked me up within 30 minutes. Will definitely go back. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
“Was referred here for removing a stripped bolt, I only had to wait 30 minutes for a walk-in and they offered to swap the component instead of just removing the bolt.
It was cheap and installed properly.”

“Mars Auto absolutely saved me after I went in with an engine issue caused by Mr.Lube !!
They fixed the problem promptly and I left reassured that my car was safe and drivable. You can tell they’re very trustworthy! There was no pressure, no upselling, and they were upfront about what needed to be done and what it would cost. Their pricing was really fair and affordable, especially considering the quality of work done, as well as the desk staff customer service was beyond expectation.
My car is running perfectly now, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an honest, reliable, and affordable mechanic!”

“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.”
“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.”
“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 ?”
“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!”
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND :) Glad a friend referred me to them & will continue to refer these guys.
Anytime I’ve dealt with Darrell & the Maaco team, I have had an excellent experience.
They are friendly, patient, professional, honest, very informative and they do beautiful work. They try to be upfront about price and time and stick to it as best they can.
More than once, Darell gave me free advice on dealing with insurance companies and how to advocate for yourself.
I can assure you that they are not out to spend all your money or even nickel and dime you. They are trustworthy people who are not looking to take advantage of people with less knowledge of cars.
Sometimes, they even will take on a few little extra things for you that weren’t planned, throw in a little extra paint for free & you may even get a free surprise cleaning too which is nice. You will be impressed with these guys and if you’re not, Darrell is pretty reasonable to talk to. I recommend taking your car here for a quote before choosing other body shops.”
“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.”
“I purchased summer and winter tires from them, they provide services at reasonable prices and are very professional and humble.
Would recommend them for their good service.”
“Great local place. Super friendly service. Good mechanics. Need to up their communication and scheduling. Halifax is now turning into a major city for Atlantic Canada and small local service organizations like these need to up the game to stay competitive. Often you need to follow up multiple times on quotes, time is lost as they internally try to figure out who is handling the quote etc. I will still take my vehicles to them, but if they improve a few things, they will get a 5+ star!”
