Just had winters put on. This place is the Rolls Royce of honest friendly service. They took right to it with minimum wait time. They even repaired one of my lug nuts at no charge. No pushiness to have extra work done. Hassle free and quick. The three gentleman up front were really good hearted guys (Preston was one of them). They didn't over charge. There was no covert hostility. And they offer wheel nuts to be re-torqued within 50 kilometres for free. Very competitive and reasonable pricing. Most mechanic shops make you cringe but this is the best service I have ever received. They don't mess

Had 2 pre-purchase inspections done, full struts and 160K service done on my wife's Rav4. The A-1 team is excellent, professional, and trustworthy.

From the start of my relationship with this company, they serviced us with a "customer first" mentality". Despite some hiccups and issues along the way, Preston and his crew were exceptional and ensured that I did not leave their shop until I was 100% satisfied. It is true that family run local businesses know how to treat their customers right!!!

Super friendly, they were able to answer all my question over the phone and were able to service my battery the same day. Sometimes its the little things, they also had a dog bowl for my pup to have some water in +25 weather !

So glad I called this shop. The first thing that struck me was that these were experienced men, who were genuinely there to provide a helpful service. I called for a battery, but I realized that it would just be easier to get them to winterize the whole vehicle. I got a new battery installed, four winter tires, and an oil-pan heater installed for cheaper than I would get it anywhere else. The battery was in a very awkward place underneath the driver seat. They did it swiftly and with zero hassle. Customer service was impeccable, being treated like a valued customer is always a bonus. Again, very

While they may not be able to fix every problem you present them, they will do their best to give you guidance on how best to proceed with finding a solution. They can do some basic fixes, but for more complex troubleshooting they have shrugged their shoulders and politely told me to try another shop. I trust these guys to do the basic stuff well, and for a reasonable price. For routine work like tires and batteries (like it says in the name), they get the job done.
