I travel to winkler from Winnipeg from time to time for maintenance work. I came into some car troubles and Id sooner support the local guys then these big repair shops. Never been here before and these got me up and running in no time. Very professional! Id like to thank the staff for getting me out of this jam. I would most definitely recommend these guys to the locals or people travelling in. Thanks again Chad and company!

Chads does all the service work on my fleet. On time on budget every time. If I have questions I call Chad and he gives me the time needed to explain what the issues can be and gives me a time slot within a day or 2. Most times will fit me in the same day. Honest reliable service and staff. Highly recommend
