“Best experience ever ! From start to finish it couldn’t have been better. From arranging the car rental to explaining the procedure and working with the insurance company Shawn and Amanda were marvellous….”
“Very pleased with our experience at Insurance Direct Collision Centres. The staff were professional, communicative, and efficient throughout our repair process. Will, one of the estimators, was especially helpful in navigating the process with our insurer and answering questions. Highly recommend!”
“Best service, hands down. My check engine light came on, and despite having a very busy schedule, they were able to fit me in the same day. The customer service was phenomenal. They quickly diagnosed the issue and had it resolved in about five minutes. To my surprise, they wouldn’t even accept payment because it was such a quick fix. I’m extremely impressed with their honesty and professionalism. I’ll definitely be coming back for any future car repairs or maintenance. Highly recommended!”
“We have been customers of Charmichael's for years and believe them to be the most honest and fair repair service around. My son who lives in Montreal relayed the following: "My band was heading to Hamiton to play a Friday night gig when our van broke down on the 401 while passing through Kingston. The tow truck driver piled us into his truck and took us to Charmichaels where we received the best service! They fixed our van and we were able to make our Hamilton gig on time! "”
“This is by far the best experience I have ever had with an auto-body shop. I dropped my car off to have the damage assessed and an estimate done and came back a few hours later to find that the issues had been largely fixed free of charge! Mark provided me with options for more extensive repairs that would involve replacing (expensive) parts, but noted it wasn't necessary to pursue those right away or ever as the aesthetic issues are so minor. I just really appreciated the honesty and the generosity. I can't recommend Crown Collision more highly!”
“Press the Easy button! I needed a safety check for my vehicle and Kathy was super pleasant on the phone, and got me in quickly. When I dropped the car off she said it would be at least 2 hours, but 90 minutes later she called and said the safety was completed! And at a very decent price. Great place, highly recommend.”
“The most honest and knowledgeable auto repair shop in Kingston. I’ve been going there since the 1980’s when Tony owned the shop. Nothing has changed, a shop that actually cares about their customers. Better than any automotive dealership or any other automotive shop I’ve ever been to. I’ve literally sent them 100’s of customers over the years and they all feel the same way. Give them a try and you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about. -Paul Babcock”
“Great experience. Everything was clearly explained, and the repair was done properly. I was able to avoid replacing the entire exhaust and saved nearly $2,000. Really appreciate their honesty and work.”
“In Kingston on holiday and had an emergency issue with our car. Went to this garage early on a Monday morning with no appointment. We were in and out within half hour with make shift repair done to get us safely home and the charge was very inexpensive. Owner was friendly and reassuring. If we lived in Kingston he would have our business!”
“i am so grateful i found this place when i moved to kingston. stephen has always made time to squeeze me in and has never overcharged me for services or tried to talk me into unnecessary repairs. i seriously cannot recommend them enough”
“Rob was awesome. He took care of us on a time crunch during Christmas. He had our vehicle fixed and ready for safety inspection within a couple days during the busy holidays! Now I know why he was highly recommended by 2 other well known mechanic shops in Kingston.”
“Natalie and her team are fantastic. I have no relationship with this company other than my repair. If you want the job done correctly this should be your first choice. Alan”
“If you are looking for honesty, reliability and amazing personalized service then this is the place for you! Enough good cannot be said about the crew at king St. Happy to be there customer!”
“My 2015 Lincoln needed ball joints. This is a big expense for me. But, the results 100 % improved. I know I will be safe. Communication is key for best results and the Advisor Derek and all team players provided follow up with photos ,videos, phone call and text messaging to ensure I was getting the nec3ssary information to make informed decisions. Thanks for your service. Linda Pester”
“The service provided by Sahib and Sunny was outstanding!
Customer friendly, professional and super fast. Will come back and definitely recommend this service!”

“A big thanks to Kingston Dodge. While passing through Kingston on a late Friday afternoon, I noticed a tire was losing air. Made an unscheduled stop at Kingston Dodge and they were able to fix the flat on the spot. One hour later we were back on the road. Thank you.”
“I would give 6 stars if possible,
Cody and his team are quick, knowledgeable and extremely affordable.
This is the only place I trust in Kingston to bring my vehicle!
Thank you guys for going above and beyond to get my vehicle back on the road!”

“Great mechanic! I came in with a check engine light and he ran the code quickly and with short notice. No nonsense or funny business, just good service and honesty. Refreshing auto service experience.”
“I bought a 2024 Volvo XC60 here in May '25. It began glitching shortly afterwards with software issues. Further problems arose in January 2026. Ed and his team have been super helpful in getting all of these issues resolved to my satisfaction. I also had my first service done there recently. A great experience and I appreciated the loaner car. Thank you Ed and team!”
“I brought my 2020 Jetta GLI in for an intermittent EPC/check-engine issue that has been causing a significant loss of power. The issue is very real, but unfortunately it never occurred while they were actively diagnosing the vehicle, making it impossible for them to pinpoint the exact cause.
A huge thank you to Scott, the mechanic, who took the time to speak with me afterward and patiently answered all my questions. Also, Georgia, the service representative, was incredibly patient and helpful.
They were completely honest about what they could and couldn’t determine and even knocked down the price, which I really appreciated. I felt like they genuinely cared about helping me rather than just trying to make money. Great people and great service. I’ll definitely be back.”
“I’ve brought two oversize vehicles to Jake and the team over the past month. The estimates were fair, the work done well and the experience was refreshingly honest and straightforward. I’ll be back. Thanks Jake and team.”
“Without a doubt, this is the best garage in Kingston for vehicle repairs & maintenance...fair prices, great advice and friendly staff are the bonus... Glen and his staff are the best!

“My girlfriend and I had to have the flex plate/ flywheel replaced on our 2017 Dodge Journey SXT.
We both said “ oh great , we won’t be able to afford to have it fixed.
The finance company that financed the car has a list of approved locations that they send customers to for repairs. We have an extended warranty on the car. Thats another story altogether.
The first place we took it to ( won’t name the company because that’s going to be a separate review) quoted us $2,300 to fix it with parts and labour. We figured because it was transmission related, we figured that was acceptable. Then we found out that the extended warranty wouldn’t cover it. On top of that, they never took it for a road test.
This is where MR. TRANSMISSION comes into play. They are also an approved repair location.
We took it there, explained what was the problem was. First thing they did and said was that they were going to take it for a road test, to confirm what the issue was at no charge whatsoever.
They confirmed that it was indeed the flex plate / flywheel .
Here is where we decided that MR. TRANSMISSION was going to get all of our future business.
They quoted us $1,358 including taxes, parts and labour. They also confirmed that the extended warranty wouldn’t cover not cover the cost of the repairs.
Now here is where things got even better for us.
They deal with a 3rd party warranty/ insurance company that covers repairs, and they approved the repairs for us. All we had to pay was a $53 deductible. Then make bi-weekly or monthly payments.
So there was more than $1,000 dollars difference between the 2 separate quotes and they gave us a 1 year warranty on the repairs, no questions asked.
So hats off to MR. TRANSMISSION for the awesome customer service and professionalism.
They went the extra mile for us.
Also a big thank-you to Jennifer for walking us through the process and keeping our frayed nerves to a minimum.
JOB WELL DONE MR.TRANSMISSION”
“I have been dealing with this auto shop for my last 3 vehicles, I find them very professional, fast, courteous, and reasonably priced. I took my Kia there for a safety and have also had tie rod end work done there , brakes, usual maintenance etc. When my check engine light came on, he checked it and determined it was loose gas cap, and then said no charge!! Kia would charge me $100 just to put the code reader on it!!.The owner is quiet and doesn't talk much , but his actions are top notch!I highly recommend this business.”

“Always great services, nice, and honnest people who try to make their cost as low as possible. They took great care of my infiniti over years. If they do not have the capacity to take you quickly (because they have more clients than usual that week), thay do not give you fake hope: they let you know and recommend alternate places if you cannot wait.
Always love our interactions!”

“I came to Vic’s for a pre-purchase inspection and they were incredibly competent, friendly and notified me of necessary maintenance that went unnoticed during (another mechanic’s) safety certification inspection. This helped me make an informed decision before buying a car on facebook marketplace and I could not be more grateful! Highly recommend.”
“I have been to DPD Auto a few times since Fall 2022 for minor work (oil changes, tires, brake work). I gave them a 'try' because they are a local business and convenient to where I live. Up to the point of writing this, I have had nothing but superior service from this business. I will continue to take my vehicles here unless something changes. I recommend you try them yourself!”
“Trust is a hard thing to come by these days so after searching for a reputable automotive repair shop for some aftermarket parts to install, I found Robert Moniz Auto. Being a family run business implied to me that there is pride and trust in the work, from old school to new modern computerized vehicles Robert and his crew perform fine work in a clean shop environment. I only had upgrades of accessories that I wanted installed but wanted it done right. From what I observed with other customers larger automotive work that needed done, I watched Robert explain the costs of the work and parts needed to getting it done on their car. He was upfront and explained costs, no BS just as he explained things with me. I have automotive knowledge and I'm fully aware what it takes but unfortunately I have suffered physical setbacks which is why I sought out a mechanic. I'm extremely pleased with the work completed on my vehicle and feel assured anyone would feel the same.”
“I went here for the first time to get a rattle fixed at the rear of my vehicle. Not only did they fix the rattle but they did a full inspection of the vehicle and showed me some problem spots that I did not know were there. Super clean and friendly environment, would recommend it to anyone.”
