“I moved to Elliot Lake two years ago and I needed a vehicle repair shop for my 2019 chevy Colorado ZR2. I went to the service department and behind the counter was a service personnel name Ken. He greeted me and he was professional and courteous. I needed tires for my vehicle and I asked if he could recommend a brand of tire that he has in stock and it was determined that the KO2 would be a could choice. I agreed and I purchased the tires. As well, I met Evan the mechanic that perform all the needs for my vehicle. Why am i mentioning the above is that from that time, all my need for future maintenance and repair was done at this location. Each time that i went for maintenance the result was the same professional, welcoming and above all courteous. The service was so good and appreciated an I recommended my friend Pauline to buying her all weather tires there as well. On September 16/2026, I arrived at this location for 8 am due to Pauline vehicle had a low tire and I was wondering if it could be looked after. Ken was behind the counter as usual and he said that we have a busy schedule but let me see. He said that we have an appointment for 8 am but if the person does not show up for the appointment that he would do the necessary to help. I said thank you and that I would wait. All this to say that the 8 am appointment did not show up and Ken said that we would look into that matter. About 45 minutes to an hour passed and Evan came and said to Ken and I that the tire was puncture and a screw was determined to be the cause. I mentioned to them that it was a good thing due to that Pauline and I was going to Sudbury for the day. All was well. To management of the store and corporate office: Please commend this two employees for there good service yours truly, JP Arbour”
