It can be daunting to find a new mechanic, especially after having one I’ve been using for years and trust-
but Darcy and his team were great to work with!
I’m relieved to have a mechanic so close to home now, that I trust bringing my vehicles too in the future!
Thank you for all the time and work you put into my little old car to get it road-worthy for me!

I brought my Escalade here last month needing a full transmission rebuild. They got it in and started working within the hour, I got my ride back in 2 days. I found that to be an extremely impressive turnaround time. They didn't charge me a dime more than the original quote and so far so good with the new trans. My dad also brought his truck in needing some pretty major work on that same day and they got that done in just over a day also. Keep in mind this was without any notice, 2 separate vehicles needing extensive work and both were ready to be picked up within 2 days! Extremely happy with the results, thank you DC auto team.

I gave this shop a chance because I wanted to support local shop, but I truly regret it. I'm extremely disappointed! I urge you not to take your vehicle here! I brought our car in for an oil change and to replace the passenger side headlight, which was the ONLY light not functioning. In the end, I paid more than the original quote—twice as much. I accepted it, as they claimed it was due to LED lighting. After driving the car off their lot, I noticed the right turn signal wasn't working. They took the car back and fixed it in about ten minutes without charging me, which I appreciated. However, the next day, I discovered that the right park light was also out. I returned to the shop, and they informed me the bulbs had burnt out, but again, they didn't charge me. While that was good customer service, I can't help but think they should have checked all the lights to ensure they were working properly before giving me the vehicle back. Unfortunately, that’s not all. A few days later, I noticed a dent near the right headlights. Upon inspecting under the hood, we found a screw and two components that weren’t reattached, along with missing bolts. This was a very shoddy job by the mechanic! We trusted them and paid the amount they asked, only to end up with damage to our vehicle, and we have no idea what else might be broken or missing. If you rely on mechanics to take care of your car, please steer clear of this shop at all costs!

Great work... friendly, helpful, accommodating, I have had 4 used vehicle inspections done here and a variety of services and repairs. Don't have to wait a long time for appointments or for work to be completed.

Pretty poor diesel mechanics specifically on dodges had 3 transmissions done in diffrent trucks from there first failed immediately and has now failed a second time at 10000km second lasted 10000km and 3rd made it 3000km. They also don’t like to put bolts back in proper places. And if they do put bolts in then expect them to be loose or stripped or cross threaded had to fix a lot of stuff after it came back from there shop. Wish there was less then 1 star to give honestly done waste your time there’s many better places out there

Edit tired to email and won’t go threw I ended up rebuilding my own transmission after it failed clutch packs but our when I told Darcy there was a issue he said it’s normal to run warm but not 260 warm on any trailer I put it on if you want you can call me and can talk about it either way not impressed with work and lies

This is by far the best auto shop anyone could choose. Their integrity is impeccable. They go above and beyond with everything they do. Expect quality work at a fair price. Thank you Darcy and your crew for keeping me safely on the road and doing so in the future.

Brought RHD car in for insurance inspection. Asked for a list of what needed to be fixed for it to pass inspection. Bought parts and completed work. Brought it back in to reinspect and was told it failed again. Showed Darcy his own writing for what needed to be fixed. Got told very sarcastically that he made a mistake and was sorry "do you know how many inspections we do". Mistakes are fine, attitude is not.

Then I got told they hate right hand drive cars and think they should be illegal. Why accept work on a car you hate? So they got me for 400 bucks. (I had two RHD cars inspected there)

Edit: took my transmission in for them to rebuild. They stand behind their work. So changing my stars. Still recommend taking your RHD somewhere else though.

Darcy was very rude and, as I discovered too late, biased in my last encounter. Based on my conversations it has become clear they will never pass the car for inspection. I suspect they feel they are doing the world a favour by keeping a dirty RHD car off the streets.

They did not charge me for the reinspection so that was nice, but I had to wait 4 hours after my appointment for them to look at the car.

Overall, I disliked how I was treated, I am concerned about bias and feel I was not treated right due to having a right hand drive car. I can not comment on the quality of work from them.

Good, quick service for a fair price. I thought my suspension was done because the car was bouncing at high speeds, they diagnosed it as a problem with a wheel and found a used one for me for a fair price. Going to the dealership I would have spent at least 5x more.
