Gord and Josh are awesome at what they do. The few times I have had to get AMA to tow me, the driver says, oh I have heard those guys are good. And he is right, they are.

Knowledgeable, helpful, and courteous staff who took the time to explain their suggestions. Identified the issues and split them into 2 categories: Safety (need to do now) and Maintenance (can wait) instead of overwhelming us with a huge list. We trust their diagnosis, we trust their work, and we will definitely return and recommend them to our friends & family, thank you again Best Choice Automotive!

I lost the power steering in my SUV and brought it to best choice. I didn’t know anyone at the shop and they provided me with great drop off/pick up options so I did not have to miss any work. I am used to being treated like a number when I take my vehicle anywhere and I can tell you I WILL bring my SUV back here should I need more work. The guys were very genuine and got my car fixed very quickly for me. At no point was I waiting and wondering what was going on. Thank you so much, I am extremely happy with the service!

If you guys need an auto body shop for your cars would highly recommend best choice auto. I just got my out of province inspection for my vehicle there and it was very cheap and hassle free! Josh got it done quickly and without me having to pay for unnecessary fees. I will definitely come back here for any car related issues

Midas told me my brakes needed servicing for 350 bux. I said ok and when I went to pay i asked what all they did to them. They took them apart and cleaned them. Ever since I started going to best choice a few years ago they never tried to rip me off like most mechanics out there.

This was my first time using Best Choice. I needed an Out Of Province Inspection on my car. I’ve had many of these over the years and was expecting the worst as usual, some story about work that is needed, inflated estimates and the normal money grab!! But that isn’t what happened, these guys were quick, professional, did the inspection and there were no surprises. I’m impressed and I’ve found my new go to shop! Thank you for being an honest and fair shop.

- Nice people - Although every shop has inflated shop rates and cost of parts, I find Best Choice Automotive to over inflate them- Inspections are great, if you ever want to bring your vehicle in for inspection, do so, but do your research and see what really needs to get done, I have found there inspection to be very picky on components, and components that are functioning just fine, they recommend changing and do write it into the work order, so again do your research and ask to visually see the components they 'recommend' replacing - If you are okay with spending big money on your vehicle then go to these people - If you are living paycheck to paycheck then I would not recommend these people and would recommend shopping around for the right 'shop rate'

After trying out a cheaper alternatives, I can say for certain that there is a big knowledge & skill difference between low and high tier mechanics. I suspected there was an issue with my parking break. The mechanics at Best Choice were able to diagnose and fix all the issue I was concerned about. Turns out the cables were loose. My only hesitation is 7 months later, the parking break seems to be acting ip again. Could be normal wear though.

I have been using Best Choice Automotive for several years now and they are, by far, the BEST auto mechanic I have ever been to. They are honest and reliable and go the extra mile for their customers. Twice I have had problems with my vehicle that they discovered were small issues - a loose oil filter and a check engine light that needed to be cleared - and they resolved the problems at no charge. Their honesty and dependability are rare qualities in this day and age. Many thanks to the owner and staff - I am a customer for life!

Had to tow my car in for a rad leak and it was promptly diagnosed and fixed for a reasonable price. They quoted and diagnosed other work to be done at a later date. Super polite and prompt staff. I will definitely bring my car back to them.

I needed an inspection done for a used truck that I was considering purchasing. Very glad I spent the money on their inspection service, because it turned up a few costly problems that would have added around $3000 to the cost of buying. Gord and Dave were pleasant, flexible, and easy to deal with, and also willing to help fit me in on short notice twice. The inspection was thorough. They test-drove the vehicle and gave me detailed feedback over the phone, then promptly emailed a pdf of the full detailed report. The price of the inspection was affordable. The only way I might see for them to improve would be to bundle a more detailed engine analysis with the inspection, but I understand that a cheap yet satisfactory method of offering this service is not available to garages. As it stands they can do a more detailed engine inspection but it would cost more. The inspection details were not related to me directly by the tech who performed the inspection, but I did feel confident that if I'd imposed upon them they would have happily put the tech on the line. I did feel comfortable that a good understanding of the inspection issues were relayed to me, and everyone I talked to seemed knowledgeable and trustworthy.

Got my out-of-province auto inspection done on this place and everything was a breeze. Gord really took his time to explain everything to me (I don't know anything about cars) and what needed to be done. Couldn't be happier. I am so glad I chose Best Choice Automotive.

Best Choice Automotive is my go-to shop for everything car related. Gord and the guys really know their stuff, so I always know my car is in good hands. Highly recommend this shop.

Took my car there for a pre-purchase inspection at the request of a buyer. Unfortunately they came up with a laundry list of questionable 'issues' with a car that just came off factory warranty such as:1. 'Sun roof button intermittent' - yeah its 25 below and the sun roof is frozen shut geniuses. Suggested to buyer that there were non-existant electrical issues.2. Oil pan sweating - Oil pans aren't porous, thus they cant sweat oil - it a ridiculous idea and very astonishing that they, as mechanics, don't understand this concept. Maybe its because its 25 below outside and 20 above in your shop?3. Tires need to be replaced at the end of next year. - Wow. Great insight for the year 2021. Now the buyer wants me to pay for new tires.4. They claim it needs a new battery - and they can replace it for the paltry sum of $300. Only problem? The car starts just fine, even in 25 below...It doesn't need a new battery, which by the way, retails for $120 and takes 5 minutes to replace.5. etc. etc.Whats worse? They work bankers hours so I had to waste 2 afternoons to drop the car off and pick it up.In the end the buyer demanded that I split the cost of all these BS 'repairs' that weren't required, and ended up walking away from the agreement we had because of this bogus inspection, costing me the sale.I'd avoid this place at all costs and stick to a more reputable shop like the dealership who likely isn't trying to up-sell a bunch of garbage that isn't required.

I love this place. I'm a new car owner and never once did they try to up sell or take advantage of my lack of vehicle knowledge. They're straight to the point on what needs to be done and are so incredibly polite. I was passed my withdrawal on my debit card unknowingly and I needed to get my car out before they shut down for the holidays, two weeks without a car. The employees must have seen the sheer panic and frustration on my face because as I was leaving to head back to work they suggested I go to bank to withdraw the money. The owner himself insisted to drive me to the bank. The shop stayed opened passed the closing time just help me out. They didn't need to do that they could have just said too bad and held my car till the new year, but they didn't. They went above and beyond to help me out and have a car for the holidays to be able to see my family who live out of town.

I have been taking my Honda Civic here for the last 3-4 years and have always experienced exceptional customer service, good communication and effective repair work. I will not go anywhere else.

Very knowledgeable, I looked around for a few places to have an older car looked at, found these guys as an AMA recommended location for inspections. Had them do a few things to my car, super happy so far. They're quick, seem to do a good job and don't gouge on price. So far I'd definitely recommend them.

I had brought my car in to get the brake pads and rotors replaced when they had found out the calipers were toast. They ordered the parts and just as they brought it for a test drive they figured out one of them was defective. It was near closing and I needed my car for a road trip and they told me it couldn’t be done until the day after i left. Luckily they were AMAZING and got another part and stayed until they finished. Even though it wasn’t their fault, they figured out a solution and made it work. Thank you! :)

I called J&J Automotive to book a out of province inspection and Jason said that they are not license for out of province inspections but recommended a separate Inspection company. The best part is that this company (Inspectors) only does inspections and doesn't benefit from mechanical work. I really appreciate Jason honesty. I would recommend J&J and also Inspectors. Thanks

This is THE shop to go to. I recommend them to anyone and everyone who will listen. I haven't needed their services lately, but before I got my new car I was a regular here for years. I always experienced great service, complete honesty and a high level of ethical behaviour in all interactions. These guys are the BEST. Calling them is a no brainer.

I can't say enough good things about this auto shop. The owner and his son went above and beyond with their customer service and helped me deal with a difficult situation regarding the car I had bought after being assured it was mechanically sound. The car was not sound, in fact it was a danger to be on the road. I was not just told what was wrong with my car I was brought to the back and shown exactly what was wrong with it. Not being personally mechanically inclined I feel vulnerable in auto shops but at Best Choice Automotive I felt I was being given honest advice. Will be returning in the future for any other vehicle maintenance and repairs.

After reading the good reviews on here, I thought it would be a good place to have my brakes looked at. I was not disappointed. Because of the sound my brakes were making, I was prepared for a large repair. As it turns out, the issue was minor. Not only did they tell me that the brakes were ok and just needed some minor servicing, but they told me only the front set could use it. I cannot recommend them enough. Friendly staff and honest service. I will be returning to them for all future service. Thank you Best Choice!
