Taylormotive is the best body shop on the North Shore. They are professional, skilled, timely and truly a lovely business! A tree hit our car in a storm and they confidently told us they could sort it out. We got the ICBC claim sorted, they booked us in, gave us a loaner car, and 3 days later, it was done! Easy breezy. Highly recommend!

I had to take my car in for an ICBC repair for the very first time and I was lost and confused. Taylormotive service was excellent from start to finish! Special thanks to Susanna at front desk who was super helpful and patient with me on the phone and in person. She walked me step by step through the process and made this so quick and easy. Had to replace my rear bumper and the work was completed seamlessly in one day after I booked my appointment. Michael and Johnny were also very professional and efficient when I brought my vehicle in. Thank you! I highly recommend this shop to anyone that needs

Taylormotive did an awesome job aligning my truck. It was swaying left and pulling right and chirping the tires when I turned or went over bumps. It almost to the point I should have had it towed in it was driving so off but the tech Sean did a great job. It drives straight as an arrow now and just feels much better and the price was actually less then I expected. Thanks Sean and taylormotive great work
