Car Repair near Richmond

“I have been there many times in the past ten years, and I feel more and more confident that I can leave all my car problems to them. The boss is very kind. He explains the problem clearly every time and proposes the most affordable solution. This time, the exhaust pipe of the car was damaged. A nearby repair shop quoted $2,500. I thought it would be safer to go to MTTM. Sure enough, after going there, the boss explained in detail: which part needs to be replaced, how much the manufacturer's quotation for this part is, the other part is damaged but does not need to be replaced, they can repair it, and how much they charge for labor. In the end, the problem was solved for less than $200. Highly recommended, this is a repair shop with great skills and integrity.“

“Needed a last minute out of province inspection on a Sunday and Dharm at Lo-cost was able to make it happen.“

“Replaced my starter, quality workmanship at a fair price. Bob was excellent as well, totally recommend!“

“I had a really great experience at Hastings Minit-Tune today. I went in to get my fluids checked and a belt replaced, but both the staff and the manager really went above and beyond to make sure everything was safe and made me feel taken care of. They were super thorough, professional and very fair with pricing. It’s hard to find a shop you can actually trust, so I’ll definitely be back.“

“Quick, thorough and affordable service. We’ve been looking for a mechanic that we can trust as our vehicles begin to age… I’m thrilled to have been recommended to Vital! Thank you!“

“After months of ongoing issues with my 2016 CR-V that multiple dealerships weren’t able to properly diagnose, I finally brought my car to Arbutus Service Centre — and I’m so glad I did. Steve took the time to listen to the full history, reviewed all the previous paperwork, and methodically went through the diagnostics. He was able to replicate the issue, identify the root cause (a misfire in cylinder 2 tied to the injector and valve adjustment), and carry out the necessary repairs.

The difference in how the car drives now is night and day — it has more power, a smoother idle, and it finally feels reliable again. Steve was transparent throughout the process, explained his reasoning clearly, and never tried to upsell unnecessary work. His approach stood in stark contrast to the dealerships I’d dealt with earlier, and I truly feel like I have my car back.

I can’t recommend Steve and the team at Arbutus enough if you’re looking for thorough, honest, and skilled work. They earned my trust completely.“

“Had a great experience at Bill and Walters Garage. They got us in right away and were able to fix our vehicle that day and get us on our way home. Everyone was super helpful. Thank you so much for your great service. Would highly recommend.“

“Derek at DC Motorworks has been our family mechanic for 16 years now. He is super honest, rates are reasonable and he gives you a timeline when things need to be done next. If things don't need to be done now, he'll tell you. He won't gouge you for cash like other mechanics. That's honesty and integrity there, my friends. He was recommended by a friend of mine and now I recommend him to all my friends and family. His crew is super talented as well and the courtesy cars are a nice addition, if you need them.

Update: Came back to the hood and went back to DC Motorworks… they haven’t changed at all and that’s a great thing!“

“Very proud neighbours! We've been taking our fleet at Budget Brake & Muffler for over a year now, and they never disappoint! Aaron and the team are always happy to have us walk in and provide excellent customer service. Very fair and upfront with costs and estimates - HIGHLY recommended!“

“I had a need for some unusual work on stainless exhaust pipe which Darcy was able to accomplish quickly with quality work that was done at a reasonable cost.
I'll certainly go back when needed“

“Excellent service and communication, fair pricing, professional.
Gothem took great care of my vehicle, and it runs perfectly again, brought it into the shop on the weekend and had it back within 5 days, highly recommended!“

“These peeps are the real deal. Super nice ans figure things out. I can’t tell you enough good things about them especially Sahara. ?“

“Jeff is extremely knowledgeable and does a great job explaining each car service in simple terms. He was very patient with my questions, and my last service experience was excellent.“

“My friend Raymond Saul recommended this place. I have been bringing my Mercedes Metris here for inspections. Recently, I noticed my check engine light going on and off. I contacted Victoria and met her in person. She gave me helpful advice on what I could do before we disassemble the car. It's fantastic to find a place where people have a passion for cars, honesty, and trust. Thanks!“

“These guys are amazing, so friendly, so knowledgeable, quick with repairs and great prices!“

“Tim is the best. He is always happy to answer my questions, very professional, neat, and keeps time too. I have used his services severally and the results are always fabulous. I highly recommend him.“

“My girlfriend’s mom’s Ford wouldn’t start at Champlain Square and we had to leave it there overnight. We stopped by this shop right after, but they were already closed. Thankfully, the attendant at the Petro station was able to take the keys and safely pass them on to the shop first thing in the morning.

Even though she didn’t end up getting the vehicle repaired here, they still had a technician walk over to the car and do a complimentary check. That level of helpfulness and care was really appreciated. Great customer service!“

“Seasonal tire swap and storage. Paula was very helpful and service was as just as expected.“

“Scott took my van and not the shop right away to install m trailer hitch while I waited in their comfortable reception room. Clean and bright!“
