1st. I was pleasantly surprised by the prices. Also the guy who owns it (i assume) was great. Answered questions, was respectful and friendly. Earlier went to dealership for 1 problem ended up with several. Came here on advice from a friend, they fixed all problems and told us 1of the things on the list didn't need to be changed saved us a 100.00!
Been driving back to toronto to our old mechanic for past 3 years...but no more! We finally found the right place.

I have a 2016 golf and the "check coolant" light has been coming on. I had no desire to go to a dealership (not a good experience at leavens and that was only for a test drive) so i called bug stop this morning. They fit me in, checked it out, topped up the coolant, and Bryan and Brendan absolutely made my day:) as a woman taking a car in to get looked at can be a little worrisome but i felt completely comfortable!! You guys are great! My work schedule is hectic and stressful enough ( long term care) so no added stress dealing with my car was amazing!!!! I will be back for sure. Driving a vw is

Taken my car here a few times for different things. Great, honest and reliable mechanic. They only fix what needs to be fixed, and never try to upsell (like other places). I will definitely be taking my car here from now on anytime I have an issue. Bit of a wait time, because they're usually pretty busy, but thats the price you pay for a great mechanic, who never disappoints.

Honest, reliable, and friendly service! My family and I have been coming here for a few years, just brought in my Kia today and they had no problem checking it out! (Only took 10-15 minutes to find the problem and got it done in under an hour!) Bryan, Brendan and the team really know what theyre doing and I would highly recommend them for any auto repairs (Volkswagen or any make for that matter!)
