Starfire Autobody

I'm over the moon happy with my experience today. I was on my way home and suddenly my sunroof exploded. Caught me off guard to say the least. I composed myself, brainstormed and found my way to this shop.

Dennis was very helpful. I asked for a vacuum cleaner so i could clean up the shards and he said that Dan would do it. I was delighted that I didn't have to monkey around on the roof. (would've looked ridiculous). Dan vacuumed all of it, taped it and asked if i wanted to put a bag over top. I of course said yes as I didn't want anymore issues. He happily patched it up so i could carry on home. In the time being we conversed about another sunroof. He asked If I wanted him to phone around and find me a replacement. I once again was so grateful as I wasn't sure what my next step was going to be. Dan and Dennis must've phoned at least 5 places. It turned out that he had a couple directions for me to use. I just had to wait. So I did.

Turns out that I was able to go to a wrecker and purchase a used once for a decent price. Considering that it's thousands to replace at a dealer.
I drove off so quick that I forgot to even offer them payment. Silly me.

I picked up the sunroof, then turned around to go and offer a payment. And apologize of course. Dan asked me if they switched out the roof's which they hadn't. I didn't ask.

I reply with no, they didn't change it out. So he tells me to bring my vehicle in and he says he'd replace if for me. He removes all of this hard work of the patch job and carries on and vacuums more, and takes his time with making sure that it's replaced as good as new.

At the end of everything. I asked them how much i owed them, and they said nothing. Wouldn't take anything. I asked them if i could at least give them a hug. So that's what I did.

Words can't express just how much this act of kindness warms my heart. There are still good people out there. Many thanks to Starfire Autobody and I look forward to sharing my experience with everyone.

I will repay them at some point :)

Five stars without hesitation.

There’s a story behind this truck. My father bought this C10 new from GM in 1971 and drove it until the early 1980s. After that it became a fuel truck on our farm and saw a pretty hard life. I drove it in high school after my dad and I did our own farm-shop paint job, complete with plenty of Bondo. In 1998 I parked it in a shed when I left for university, and it stayed there until 2022.

When I pulled it out, I first had to clear out hundreds of dead mice. I revamped the drivetrain in 2022/23, and in 2024 decided the body finally deserved to be done properly.

I searched all over southern Alberta for a shop willing to take on an old C10… read full review

I asked if they could fit me in asap as I needed my car for an appointment in Airdrie next day. Dennis was kind enough to squeeze me in same day and fixed the issue for a very reasonable price. Would highly recommend.
