Pads, rotors, calipers, brake lines, fluid and parking brakes. We measure before we replace anything, and we only recommend what your brakes actually need.

  • A soft, spongy or sinking pedal
  • Pulling, shaking or a brake warning light

  • Low fluids, a tired battery or streaky wipers

S4 · Diagnostics

Diagnostics & electrical

A code tells us where to look, not what to replace. We scan, then test, to find the real cause of a warning light, a hard start or an electrical fault, and we explain it before we fix anything.

Sound familiar?

  • A check-engine light, steady or flashing
  • Hard starts, stalling or a rough idle
  • A dead battery, dim lights or electrical glitches

S5 · Suspension & exhaust

Suspension, steering & exhaust

Shocks, struts, ball joints, tie rods, wheel bearings, mufflers, pipes and hangers. We find what’s worn, loose or leaking and explain what it means for your ride. Smell exhaust inside the car? Don’t wait on that one.

Sound familiar?

  • Clunks or knocks over bumps
  • Pulling, wandering or uneven tire wear
  • A loud or rattling exhaust

S7 · General repair

General auto repair

Not everything fits neatly on a list. Cooling systems, belts and hoses, engine and driveline repairs, and the odd noise, leak or smell that’s hard to pin down. Tell us what you notice and we’ll track it down.

Sound familiar?

  • A new noise, a drip under the car or a strange smell
  • Running hot, or a belt that squeals or looks cracked
  • Something that just doesn’t feel right

How we work

No surprises. That’s the whole policy.

Every service on this page runs the same way. We show you what’s wrong, what it costs and what can safely wait. The wrench doesn’t come out until you’ve said yes.

  1. We inspect and explain what we find.

    In plain language. Ask us anything.

  2. You get an estimate and approve it before we start.

    Ontario rules protect you too: a final bill can’t go more than 10% over an approved written estimate.

  3. Want your old parts? Just ask.

    Let us know when you drop off the car.

  4. We tell you what must be fixed now and what can wait.

    So you can plan and budget without pressure.

Not sure what’s wrong?

Describe it. We’ll point you the right way.

A noise, a smell, a light on the dash: tell us what you notice. We’re open Monday to Saturday, 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM, just outside Cornwall and an easy drive from Long Sault, St. Andrews West and Ingleside.
