Auto Repair in Ottawa, ON

“They took me last minute when my car got potholed. Amazingly nice service and everything was fixed by the next day. I really love that its a longstanding family business and that many of the staff has worked there for years. That shows its an awesome place to work!”

“I took my 2012 Q5 Audi in to diagnose recurring low oil pressure and engine oil indicator lights around December 2025. It was suggested I try a NAPA Autopro location by family as I was struggling to find an answer to this issue. Without fail J&D were able to provide me with a detailed explanation of the issue; valve cloaking. FINALLY! An answer to an issue that no other mechanic was able to pinpoint. Even more importantly, I was given a detailed explanation of what it was, how to fix it (they were transparent about the fact that this was not their area of expertise) and potential costs from their experience. Not only did I feel validated, I also felt like I was truly understood and taken seriously. Thank you so much to Serge for your thorough assessment and patience in helping me figure out this issue. I'll be coming back to the shop from now on for everything and anything relating to my car. I trust your judgment and felt well taken care of. Thank you again!”

“I had a great experience at Myers Barrhaven and all thanks to Aseeb and Dylan. They were professional, patient, and truly went above and beyond to make the process smooth and stress-free. Everything was explained clearly, and I never felt pressured at any point.

I highly recommend Myers Barhaven, and if you’re visiting, make sure to ask for Aseeb and Dylan—you’ll be in great hands!”

“Just moved from Toronto to Ottawa and back in Toronto we always went to local places and supported local joints and such. Basically got a 13 year old c300 from grandma as a Moving in gift and even though this place was recommended by a friend I was lazy and went to a autoshop in east Orleans, spent over 8k getting this thing certified and just didn’t really have a dope experience. Fast forward and I moved downtown ottawa and I just strolled in here and Paula literally went through all the paperwork and I mentioned to her “I’m not even really sure what has to be done or doesn’t have to be done” and she just went through all the paperwork and booked me in. Vibes are 100% 10/10 here. If you’re also from Toronto or anywhere and moved to Ottawa go here. I should have just reached here and gotten it certified to begin with.

P.S there is a dope Italian sandwich spot next door 🥖”

“I don’t usually write reviews, but this experience was worth sharing. Booking and communication were super easy. When I arrived, they checked my car and were honest about there being no major issues. They noticed the oil was low, topped it up free of charge, and even took extra time to look under the car to double-check everything. Service like this is rare. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a trustworthy mechanic.”

“I have just been to Eagle Automotive for the first time, on the advice of a number of my neighbours. My 2013 Outback is beginning to require more and more work, and I just want to keep it on the road a little longer. I really liked the garage I had been going to, and after I brought the car in making all kinds of noise, they (rightly) advised me against doing a very expensive exhaust replacement on this older vehicle. However, they didn't offer me any options and I was horrified about having to scrap the car. Enter Eagle Automotive. Vilbert showed me exactly what was wrong with the exhaust (a broken flex joint - not a problem with catalytic converters or muffler) and why replacement would be so expensive, but he also offered me a safe solution that was more appropriate for the age of the car. I was thrilled. He let me ask him some questions and decide for myself how to proceed based on the info he gave me. The car is now working with a fully functional exhaust system, and the repair cost me a fraction of what the replacement would have cost. No disrespect to my previous garage, but Eagle gets my loyalty now.”

“I’ve been coming here since 2017, and I honestly wouldn’t trust my vehicles with anyone else. The team is always professional, honest, and takes the time to explain what needs to be done without ever trying to upsell unnecessary repairs. Their workmanship is excellent, pricing is fair, and customer service has been consistently outstanding over the years. It’s hard to find a mechanic you can truly trust, and I’m glad I found one. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and honest service!”

“Great service. Great communication and efficient. I've had to visit them a few times with my old car over the last year & I've never had to wait long to be seen. They are honest about options. Recently got my wipers fixed and was suprised I could drop it off that morning & it was fixed by end of day.”

“This was my first time bringing my car to Takaki Automotives, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment I arrived, I was really impressed with their excellent customer service—the staff were welcoming, patient, and took the time to explain everything clearly.

Over the week, they worked on my car with incredible attention to detail. They didn’t just do a surface-level repair, but carefully inspected everything, identified issues I wasn’t even aware of, and made sure the work was done properly. I really appreciated how they kept me informed throughout the process so I always knew what was happening.

When I picked up my car, it felt like new again. The repairs were done thoroughly and with care, and I left feeling confident that my vehicle is in great condition.

Overall, I’m very pleased with both the service and the results. For a first-time experience, they exceeded my expectations, and I’ll definitely be trusting them with my car again in the future.

Highly recommend Takaki Automotives for their professionalism, customer care, and quality repairs!”

“I have been going for many many many years. Dependable, no bs and they do a great job…even if Alex is a Habs fan 🫣😁🤭”

“My husband and I went to Edsons for the first time yesterday. We are so impressed with the way we were treated. George did exactly the work we needed, no more no less. I feel I can safely drive my car because he took such great care to address what work needed to be done. We can't thank him enough and highly recommend Edsons.”

“Scott and Chris are very knowledgeable and honest. They are land rover jaguar specialized mechanics. I was looking for a land rover/range rover specialized mechanic after my warranty ended and after a horrible experience at a local dealership. After a phone call with them it is very evident that they were very experienced with the make and model of my car. Chris was very accommodating as I was able to bring the car in early before my appointment date and was flexible with pick up time. They were able to work within my budget and got everything that was required fixed. Very timely, quality work, reasonably priced, photos of issues were provided so you can be assured they are not trying to get you to fix something that is not required. I have not had to bring my car back here for something that was supposed to be fixed a second time which is also reassuring. Being a girl and having to deal with car issues can be daunting and intimidating and I felt comfortable and well taken care of here. Thanks guys.”

“While I did not buy a car, and I only dealt with one person at this dealership, I can't overstate my experience with Juan, he was extremely kind and honest and he made me feel understood. I would highly recommend anyone visiting this dealership seek him out for all your needs. He goes above and beyond ... Don't take my word for it. Go see him for yourself :)”

“I went to Procare Auto for an oil change and had a really great experience. They checked over my car and let me know what needed attention and what was still in good shape. I appreciated that they were honest about everything and didn't try to sell me on a bunch of extra work.

What stood out the most was how transparent they were. I've been to a lot of auto shops before, and sometimes you leave wondering if you're getting the full story. Here, I felt like they were genuinely looking out for me and giving me honest advice.

The owner and staff were friendly, helpful, and easy to talk to. It's not often that you find a shop that makes you feel comfortable and confident about the work being done on your car.

I'll definitely be coming back and would recommend Procare Auto to anyone looking for an honest and trustworthy mechanic. Thanks again!”

“I can’t recommend Automark Ottawa enough. They completed a thorough inspection on my vehicle and were incredibly honest, fair, and transparent throughout the entire process. It’s rare to find a shop that takes the time to explain everything clearly without trying to upsell unnecessary repairs.

Their knowledge and professionalism are second to none, especially when it comes to European vehicles. If you’re having trouble with a European car and want accurate diagnostics from people you can genuinely trust, this is the place to go.

Outstanding service, exceptional expertise, and honest advice I’ll definitely be back and will continue recommending Automark Ottawa to anyone looking for a trustworthy mechanic.”

“Very happy to have found a good and honest auto shop. They were quick to respond to my email and get me an appointment, explained everything and the price was very fair.Will be recommending them to everyone.”

“Afram is an amazing mechanic. He’s also a really great person all around. He’s incredibly fair and reasonable, and I have full trust in him. I always recommend friends and family to him. I absolutely don’t care that he’s out of the way for me. He’s 100% worth the extra commute. 10/10!”

“Have been serving my fleet with the boys at Triole for 15 years ! Have recommended them for years. Will is your goto for anything service or mechanical, Adam for anything bodywork or collision. Have had I assume practically every service with them and everything exceeded my expectations.

As long as I'm in Ottawa I would not go anywhere else ! Thanks for always taking care of us TAG !”

“Bruce and the others at this location were amazing! He was so helpful and got our car repaired in under 3 hours after we put coolant in the oil tank! A costly mistake but they were efficient and professional.”

“Got a car pre safetied there service was amazing. They even charged less than the original estimate. I will make an effort to go back there when I need a reliable garage.”

“Excellent service from Dirienzo & Saikaley Automotive. The work on my car was done with great care, precision, and professionalism, and the results were outstanding.
A sincere thank you to Nick and Albert for their honesty, expertise, and respectful approach. Truly a reliable and high-quality garage that I would confidently recommend
?”

“Mike Galaxka Service Centre deserves every star here and more. Honest, good work and they'll go the distance to save your money. Like repairing a part
if possible rather than buying an entire, new OEM line-replacement ass'y. Best garage I've ever had the pleasure.”

“Took the time to explain why the check engine warning appeared on my monitor. Very professional and just a very nice person, I'll be returning for all my car needs, ty sir!!”

“Sammy’s Auto Repair Centre is one of the most reliable and professional auto repair shops in Ottawa. I have been a customer for a long time, and I have always been very satisfied with the quality of their work, honesty, and excellent customer service.

I highly recommend Sammy’s Auto Repair Centre to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled mechanic in Ottawa. ⚙⚙”

“I can't say enough good things about the entire team at 2 and 1/2 Mechanics. Their customer service is exceptional, but what really sets them apart is their honesty and integrity. They always take the time to explain exactly what my car needs, even bringing me into the shop to show me the issue and walk me through the repairs. I never feel pressured into unnecessary work or upsold on services I don't need, they're always straightforward and transparent.

On top of that, they offer some of the best prices in the city without compromising on quality. It's rare to find a shop that's this trustworthy, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to its customers”

“I have been bringing my vehicle to Grandtech Auto for many years, and Ken has always been incredibly reliable, honest, and fair.

Today, I had an unexpected automotive emergency and had to drop by on short notice. Ken went completely out of his way to help me right away and get me back on the road safely.

It is rare to find an auto shop with this level of integrity and genuine care for their customers. Ken and his team truly treat you like family.

If you are looking for a trustworthy, high-quality mechanic in Ottawa, I cannot recommend Grandtech Auto highly enough!”

“Gene has been servicing my Audi's for years. I would not look to service my car anywhere else. Gene and his team are very honest and knowlegable. Highly reccomend!”

“CSN Collision handled my insurance claim repair with outstanding professionalism. They made the entire process smooth and stress‑free, communicated clearly, and coordinated directly with my insurance so I didn’t have to worry about a thing. The bodywork was completed on time and looks flawless — my car came back looking brand new. I really appreciate their honesty, efficiency, and attention to detail. Highly recommend CSN Collision for any insurance‑related repairs.”

“Only ever had positive experiences here. They are flexible, accommodating, and do EXCELLENT work. I’ve had a variety of work done here on multiple vehicles across nearly a decade now, zero complaints, zero issues.”

“I have been going here for ten years and it is the best auto service I have ever encountered. The staff is friendly and honest, knows the customers (and their cars!) and offers efficient, careful servicing at a fair price. A few years back they noted that something was starting to go but would probably be good for another year. I had a recall check at the dealers for something else a few days later. The recall part was replaced and thenhey claimed that the other issue was urgent, just happened to have the part and estimated $200 more than the quote I had been given by Jean at Vinette. From the minute you walk in, till they call you the minute the car is finished, the service is exemplary.

Today, I had two faulty seat belts replaced. As always it iwas efficient, good communication among all, and who can argue with complementary car wash and checks (battery, wipers etc)?”
