Great staff starting with the owner Ken down to office staff and even mechanics. The service is top notch. My father has been going here for years and it's his recommendation that you go as well.

I cannot recommend Dawson enough. As part of my job I have to maintain our 19 person bus - I am a young woman without a lot of experience with cars so it can be daunting to go to get it repaired and hope I don't get taken advantage of because of my inexperience. The team at Dawson right from the reception desk to the repair men are all so kind and professional and Ken is just the best. They are quick at getting you back on the road and are always fair. Thanks Dawson for helping make my job a little easier!

If youve ever had The Parkway Crew in North Van work on your truck... you will be more than happy to drive across the bridge during rush hour just to leave it with Dawson. Quality work.
