Auto Repair
Complete vehicle repair and maintenance — engines, transmissions, electrical, exhaust, suspension, heating and air conditioning, plus Ontario Safety Standards Certificates and pre-purchase inspections.
Auto Repair Shop
The everyday work that keeps an Ottawa vehicle on the road: inspections and certificates, climate control, charging and starting systems, exhaust, lighting, suspension, and rust protection built for road salt.
Car AC Repair
Air that blows warm on the first hot week of June usually means a refrigerant leak, a failing compressor, or an electrical fault in the climate control system. We pressure-test the system to find where it is actually losing charge, then quote the repair — rather than selling you a top-up that leaks out again by August.
Home › Auto Repair › Auto Repair Shop › Car AC RepairCar AC Recharge
Air conditioning loses a small amount of refrigerant naturally over the years, and performance fades long before it stops working entirely. We evacuate the system, check for leaks and oil contamination, and recharge to the manufacturer's exact specification — so you get cold air back and know the system is sealed.
Home › Auto Repair › Auto Repair Shop › Car AC RechargeSafety Standards Certificate
Ontario requires a Safety Standards Certificate whenever a used vehicle changes hands, comes in from another province, or returns to the road after being unplated. We inspect to the provincial standard, show you photos of anything that fails, and give you a clear repair quote before we touch a thing.
Home › Auto Repair › Auto Repair Shop › Safety Standards CertificateVehicle Inspection
Our digital inspection covers brakes, tires, fluids, steering, suspension, belts, and the underbody — and you receive the report on your phone with photos, videos, and a simple green-yellow-red rating. Nothing gets repaired without your approval, and you keep the record for next time.
Home › Auto Repair › Auto Repair Shop › Vehicle InspectionPre-Purchase Inspection
Before you hand over the cash for a used vehicle, let a licensed technician put it on the hoist. We check for frame rust, hidden collision repair, worn suspension and brakes, fluid leaks, and stored fault codes — then tell you plainly whether the asking price makes sense.
Home › Auto Repair › Auto Repair Shop › Pre-Purchase InspectionExhaust Repair
Winter salt eats exhaust systems from the outside in, and a leak means noise, failed emissions behaviour, and fumes that can reach the cabin. We locate the leak, replace only the sections that are gone, and weld in new pipe where it makes more sense than a full system.
Home › Auto Repair › Auto Repair Shop › Exhaust RepairMuffler Repair
A muffler that has rusted through announces itself long before you see it. We inspect the hangers, baffles, and connecting pipe to determine whether a section repair will hold or the unit needs replacing, and we will always tell you which one you actually need.
Home › Auto Repair › Auto Repair Shop › Muffler RepairCatalytic Converter Replacement
A P0420 code does not always mean the converter is finished — sometimes it is an upstream oxygen sensor or an exhaust leak feeding false readings. We diagnose the cause first, because converters are expensive and replacing a good one fixes nothing.
Home › Auto Repair › Auto Repair Shop › Catalytic Converter ReplacementBattery Replacement
A battery that starts fine in October can leave you stranded at minus 25. We load-test the battery, check the charging output and ground connections, and install a battery rated for Ottawa winters — with the electronic registration newer vehicles require to charge it correctly.
Home › Auto Repair › Auto Repair Shop › Battery ReplacementAlternator Replacement
A battery light, dimming headlights, or repeated dead batteries usually point at the charging system rather than the battery itself. We test alternator output under load before condemning anything, then replace the unit and belt so you are not back for the same problem in a month.
Home › Auto Repair › Auto Repair Shop › Alternator ReplacementCar Electrical Repair
Intermittent electrical faults — a battery that drains overnight, windows that quit, dash lights with no obvious cause — take patience and proper equipment to trace. We follow wiring diagrams, measure parasitic draw, and find the actual break instead of replacing parts and hoping.
Home › Auto Repair › Auto Repair Shop › Car Electrical RepairWindshield Wiper Replacement
Streaking, chattering, and a blade that skips over freezing rain are not minor annoyances on a dark November drive. We fit winter-rated blades sized for your vehicle, check washer function and fluid, and inspect the wiper arms and linkage while we are there.
Home › Auto Repair › Auto Repair Shop › Windshield Wiper ReplacementHeadlight Replacement
Burned-out bulbs are a safety fail and an easy ticket, and clouded lenses can cut usable light in half. We replace bulbs, sealed units, and hard-to-reach assemblies, and check aim afterward so you are lighting the road instead of oncoming traffic.
Home › Auto Repair › Auto Repair Shop › Headlight ReplacementSuspension Repair
Ottawa potholes destroy struts, bushings, sway bar links, and control arms. If your vehicle floats over bumps, clunks on turns, or wears tires unevenly, the suspension is telling you something. We identify the worn components on the hoist and show you the play on video.
Home › Auto Repair › Auto Repair Shop › Suspension RepairUndercoating
Road salt is the single biggest threat to a vehicle's lifespan in this region. An annual undercoating application protects the frame, brake and fuel lines, and floor pans from the corrosion that ends up costing far more than the treatment ever did. Book before the salt trucks come out.
Home › Auto Repair › Auto Repair Shop › UndercoatingMechanic
Engine work and diagnostics handled by licensed technicians — the jobs where knowing what is actually wrong saves you more money than any parts discount ever will.
Car Diagnostics
A scan tool reads codes; a technician finds causes. We pull the codes, review live data, and test the circuit or component the code is pointing at before recommending a repair — then explain in plain language what we found and what your options are.
Home › Auto Repair › Mechanic › Car DiagnosticsFuel Injector Cleaning
Rough idle, hesitation on acceleration, and creeping fuel consumption often trace to injectors clogged with deposits. Cleaning restores the spray pattern the engine was designed around, improving both drivability and economy — and it costs a fraction of replacing a full set.
Home › Auto Repair › Mechanic › Fuel Injector CleaningSerpentine Belt Replacement
One belt drives your alternator, water pump, power steering, and air conditioning. When it snaps, everything stops at once — usually far from home. We check for cracking, glazing, and tensioner wear at every service and replace the belt before it strands you.
Home › Auto Repair › Mechanic › Serpentine Belt ReplacementHead Gasket Repair
White exhaust smoke, coolant disappearing with no visible leak, or oil that looks like coffee with milk all point toward a failed head gasket. We confirm with a block test before opening anything up, then give you an honest assessment of whether the repair is worth it on your vehicle.
Home › Auto Repair › Mechanic › Head Gasket RepairEngine Repair
Knocking, misfires, oil consumption, overheating, loss of power — engine problems are rarely as simple as the symptom suggests. We diagnose thoroughly, present the repair options with real costs attached, and let you decide. No pressure, no surprise invoices.
Home › Auto Repair › Mechanic › Engine RepairTiming Belt Replacement
On an interference engine, a snapped timing belt bends valves and turns a scheduled maintenance item into an engine replacement. We follow your manufacturer's interval, replace the tensioner, idlers, and water pump at the same time, and set timing to spec.
Home › Auto Repair › Mechanic › Timing Belt ReplacementTransmission
Automatic and manual transmission service, driveline repair, and clutch work — with a straight answer on whether a repair, a rebuild, or a replacement makes the most financial sense for your vehicle.
Transmission Repair
Slipping between gears, delayed engagement, or harsh shifts do not always require a rebuild. Solenoids, valve bodies, sensors, and neglected fluid cause a large share of transmission complaints. We diagnose the specific fault before recommending the most expensive path.
Home › Auto Repair › Transmission › Transmission RepairTransmission Fluid Leak Repair
Red fluid on the driveway is a warning worth acting on immediately — transmissions fail quickly once they run low. We trace the leak to the pan gasket, cooler lines, or seals, repair the source, and refill with the correct fluid for your specific transmission.
Home › Auto Repair › Transmission › Transmission Fluid Leak RepairTransmission Fluid Flush
Transmission fluid breaks down under heat and stop-and-go traffic, taking shift quality and internal clearances with it. A flush at the recommended interval replaces the fluid completely rather than diluting old fluid, and it is by far the cheapest transmission work you will ever pay for.
Home › Auto Repair › Transmission › Transmission Fluid FlushTransmission Replacement
When internal damage is beyond repair, we lay out the real numbers: remanufactured unit, used unit with warranty, or rebuild. We also tell you honestly when a vehicle is not worth the investment — that conversation has saved our customers a great deal of money.
Home › Auto Repair › Transmission › Transmission ReplacementAutomatic Transmission Service
Routine service — fluid, filter, pan gasket, and a scan for stored transmission codes — is what keeps an automatic shifting smoothly past 200,000 kilometres. It is a maintenance item most drivers skip, and the one most likely to turn into a four-figure repair later.
Home › Auto Repair › Transmission › Automatic Transmission ServiceManual Transmission Repair
Grinding into second, a shifter that fights you, or a whine that changes with gear selection usually means worn synchros, bearings, or linkage. We diagnose manual gearboxes properly and repair what is worn instead of replacing the whole unit by default.
Home › Auto Repair › Transmission › Manual Transmission RepairClutch Replacement
A clutch that slips under load, grabs at the top of the pedal, or shudders on takeoff is near the end. We replace the disc, pressure plate, and release bearing as a set, inspect the flywheel, and resurface or replace it so the new clutch lasts as long as it should.
Home › Auto Repair › Transmission › Clutch ReplacementDriveshaft Repair
Vibration that increases with speed, or a clunk when shifting into drive, often comes from worn U-joints, a failing centre bearing, or an out-of-balance shaft. We inspect the full driveline and repair the specific component rather than replacing the assembly.
Home › Auto Repair › Transmission › Driveshaft RepairCV Joint Replacement
That clicking on tight turns is a CV joint that has lost its grease, usually after the boot split and salt and grit got in. Caught early, a boot replacement solves it; left alone, the joint fails and the axle has to come out. Either way, we show you the torn boot on video.
Home › Auto Repair › Transmission › CV Joint ReplacementRepair Services
The broad repair work that comes through the bay doors every week — cooling systems, steering, axles, starting problems, warning lights, and everything that does not fit neatly into a category.
Brake Repair
Squealing, grinding, a soft pedal, or a steering wheel that shakes when you slow down all need attention now rather than next month. We measure pad and rotor thickness, inspect lines and calipers for corrosion, and show you the readings before quoting anything.
Home › Auto Repair › Repair Services › Brake RepairOil Change
An oil change here includes a full multi-point inspection, so you leave knowing the condition of your brakes, tires, belts, and fluids — not just with fresh oil. We use the grade your manufacturer specifies and reset the service reminder before you go.
Home › Auto Repair › Repair Services › Oil ChangeTire Repair
A nail in the tread does not automatically mean a new tire. If the puncture is in the repairable area, we plug and patch it from the inside — the proper method — and rebalance the wheel. If it is in the sidewall or shoulder, we will tell you why it cannot be saved.
Home › Auto Repair › Repair Services › Tire RepairWheel Balance
A vibration at highway speed that comes and goes with velocity is almost always a balance problem, and it wears tires, bearings, and suspension while you ignore it. Road-force balancing on modern equipment corrects it in a single visit.
Home › Auto Repair › Repair Services › Wheel BalanceCheck Engine Light Diagnosis
A steady check engine light means get it looked at; a flashing one means stop driving. Either way, the code is a starting point rather than an answer. We test the system the code implicates and tell you exactly what needs fixing and what it will cost.
Home › Auto Repair › Repair Services › Check Engine Light DiagnosisAxle Repair
Damaged axles cause vibration, clicking, and grease flung across the inside of the wheel. Whether it is a torn boot, a worn joint, or a bent shaft after a hard pothole hit, we replace what has failed and check the surrounding components for related damage.
Home › Auto Repair › Repair Services › Axle RepairCooling System Repair
Overheating destroys engines quickly and expensively. We pressure-test the system to find leaks, check the thermostat, water pump, hoses, and fans, and flush coolant that has lost its corrosion protection — which matters just as much in February as it does in July.
Home › Auto Repair › Repair Services › Cooling System RepairRadiator Repair
Radiators fail at the seams, at the plastic end tanks, and from stone damage to the core. If your temperature gauge is climbing or you smell sweet coolant after a drive, we will find the source and replace only what has actually failed.
Home › Auto Repair › Repair Services › Radiator RepairSteering Repair
Loose steering, a wheel that will not centre, groaning while turning, or a wandering vehicle on the highway are all safety issues. We inspect tie rods, rack, pump, and linkage, and repair the play at its source so the vehicle tracks straight again.
Home › Auto Repair › Repair Services › Steering RepairAC Repair
Air conditioning also runs your defrost, which makes it a year-round system in this climate. We diagnose weak cooling, strange smells, noisy compressors, and blend door faults, and repair the cause rather than masking it with another can of refrigerant.
Home › Auto Repair › Repair Services › AC RepairStarter Repair
A single click, a grinding noise, or a car that starts only sometimes points to the starter, its solenoid, or the wiring feeding it. We test before we replace, because a failing battery or corroded ground can produce identical symptoms at a fraction of the cost.
Home › Auto Repair › Repair Services › Starter RepairGeneral Repairs
Not every problem has a name yet. Bring us the noise, the leak, the vibration, or the warning light you cannot explain, and we will inspect the vehicle, document what we find with photos and video, and walk you through your options before any work begins.

Describe the noise, the light, or the leak. We will tell you what is likely going on and what an inspection would cost — before you book anything.
Service Hub
Wheels, Tires, Brakes & Oil
Seasonal tire changeovers and storage, alignments and balancing, complete brake service, and oil changes with a full inspection — the maintenance that Ottawa winters make non-negotiable.
Tires
Winter and all-season tires supplied, installed, repaired, rotated, and stored. See current stock and pricing on our tire sales page.
Tire Installation
Mounting, balancing, new valve stems or TPMS service, and torquing to your manufacturer's specification with a torque wrench rather than an impact gun. Book your winter changeover early — the first snowfall in Orléans fills our schedule within days.
Home › Wheels, Tires, Brakes & Oil › Tires › Tire InstallationTire Replacement
Tires wear out, age out, and get damaged past repair. We measure remaining tread, check the date codes, and recommend a set that suits how and where you actually drive — not whatever carries the highest margin that week.
Home › Wheels, Tires, Brakes & Oil › Tires › Tire ReplacementTire Repair
Punctures in the tread area can be properly repaired with an internal patch-plug combination, which is safer and longer-lasting than an external plug. We dismount the tire, inspect it from the inside for hidden damage, repair it, and rebalance the wheel.
Home › Wheels, Tires, Brakes & Oil › Tires › Tire RepairTire Rotation
Front and rear tires wear at different rates, and rotating them on schedule can add tens of thousands of kilometres to the life of a set. We rotate in the correct pattern for your drivetrain and record the mileage so you know when the next one is due.
Home › Wheels, Tires, Brakes & Oil › Tires › Tire RotationWheel Balance
New tires should always be balanced, and existing tires benefit from rebalancing when weights are thrown off by a pothole. Balancing removes highway vibration and protects the wheel bearings and suspension components that vibration quietly destroys.
Home › Wheels, Tires, Brakes & Oil › Tires › Wheel BalanceTPMS Service
Tire pressure sensors have batteries that die and stems that corrode from road salt, and the warning light will not clear until the fault is fixed. We diagnose, rebuild, or replace sensors and relearn them to your vehicle after every changeover.
Home › Wheels, Tires, Brakes & Oil › Tires › TPMS ServiceTire Storage
Off-season tires take up half a garage and degrade faster when stored badly. We store your set properly between changeovers, so twice a year you drive in with one set and leave with the other — no lifting, no tarps, no trunk full of rubber.
Home › Wheels, Tires, Brakes & Oil › Tires › Tire StorageWheels
Alignment, balancing, and wheel repair or replacement — the work that keeps a vehicle tracking straight and stops a new set of tires from wearing out early.
Wheel Alignment
If your vehicle pulls to one side, the steering wheel sits crooked, or the tires are wearing on one edge, the alignment is out — and every kilometre driven that way costs you tread. We measure all angles against factory specification and adjust what is adjustable.
Home › Wheels, Tires, Brakes & Oil › Wheels › Wheel AlignmentWheel Balancing
Even a small imbalance becomes a noticeable vibration at 100 km/h. We spin each wheel on the balancer, apply the correct weights, and confirm the result — a quick job that transforms how a vehicle feels on the 174 or the 417.
Home › Wheels, Tires, Brakes & Oil › Wheels › Wheel BalancingWheel Repair
A hard pothole strike can bend a rim enough to cause a slow leak or a persistent vibration that no amount of balancing fixes. We inspect for bends, cracks, and corrosion at the bead seat, and tell you honestly whether the wheel can be saved or should be replaced.
Home › Wheels, Tires, Brakes & Oil › Wheels › Wheel RepairWheel Replacement
Cracked, badly corroded, or unrepairable wheels need replacing — and a dedicated set of winter steel wheels often pays for itself by making changeovers faster and protecting your alloys from salt. We source wheels that fit your vehicle's specifications correctly.
Home › Wheels, Tires, Brakes & Oil › Wheels › Wheel ReplacementCustom Wheels
Changing wheel size affects speedometer accuracy, ride quality, brake clearance, and TPMS compatibility. We help you choose a set that fits properly and works with your vehicle's systems, then mount, balance, and torque them correctly.
Home › Wheels, Tires, Brakes & Oil › Wheels › Custom WheelsBrakes
Complete brake service, from a free-standing inspection to calipers, lines, and ABS diagnostics — with measurements you can see rather than a verdict you have to take on faith.
Brake Inspection
We measure pad thickness and rotor condition, check the lines and hardware for salt corrosion, and test the fluid. You get the numbers with photos, so you can decide whether to act now or plan for it — and you will know how much life is genuinely left.
Home › Wheels, Tires, Brakes & Oil › Brakes › Brake InspectionBrake Pad Replacement
Squealing usually means the wear indicator is doing its job; grinding means you have waited too long and are now cutting into the rotors. We replace pads, service the slide pins and hardware, and get you stopping properly again.
Home › Wheels, Tires, Brakes & Oil › Brakes › Brake Pad ReplacementBrake Rotor Replacement
A pulsing pedal or steering shake under braking points to warped or unevenly worn rotors. We measure thickness and runout against minimum specification, then replace them in pairs so the vehicle brakes evenly side to side.
Home › Wheels, Tires, Brakes & Oil › Brakes › Brake Rotor ReplacementBrake Fluid Flush
Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air over time, which lowers its boiling point and corrodes lines and ABS components from the inside. Flushing on schedule restores a firm pedal and prevents repairs that cost many times more than the service.
Home › Wheels, Tires, Brakes & Oil › Brakes › Brake Fluid FlushCaliper Replacement
A seized caliper drags, pulls the vehicle to one side, cooks the pad and rotor on that corner, and burns fuel. Winter salt is hard on caliper pistons and slides in this region. We rebuild or replace and correct the damage the seized unit caused.
Home › Wheels, Tires, Brakes & Oil › Brakes › Caliper ReplacementABS Diagnostics
An ABS light means your anti-lock system is offline — exactly when you would want it most, on ice. Usually the cause is a wheel speed sensor or damaged wiring rather than the module itself. We scan, test the circuit, and repair the actual fault.
Home › Wheels, Tires, Brakes & Oil › Brakes › ABS DiagnosticsEmergency Brake Repair
Parking brake cables seize from corrosion, and a brake that will not hold on a slope is a safety inspection failure. We free or replace the cables, service the shoes or integrated caliper mechanism, and adjust it back to proper holding force.
Home › Wheels, Tires, Brakes & Oil › Brakes › Emergency Brake RepairOil Change
Conventional, synthetic blend, and full synthetic oil changes — each one including a multi-point inspection, so the visit tells you something useful about your vehicle.
Conventional Oil Change
For older vehicles and engines that call for it, conventional oil with a quality filter remains a sound, economical choice. We use the viscosity your manufacturer specifies and keep the interval realistic for how you drive around Ottawa.
Home › Wheels, Tires, Brakes & Oil › Oil Change › Conventional Oil ChangeSynthetic Oil Change
Full synthetic flows better on a minus-30 morning, resists breakdown under heat, and is required by most modern turbocharged engines. It costs more per change and lasts considerably longer, which usually makes it the cheaper option per kilometre.
Home › Wheels, Tires, Brakes & Oil › Oil Change › Synthetic Oil ChangeHigh Mileage Oil Change
Past roughly 120,000 kilometres, high-mileage formulations with seal conditioners help reduce the small leaks and oil consumption that older engines develop. If you are watching your dipstick between changes, this is worth discussing.
Home › Wheels, Tires, Brakes & Oil › Oil Change › High Mileage Oil ChangeOil Filter Replacement
The filter is what keeps abrasive particles out of your bearings, and a cheap one can bypass or collapse before the oil is due. We fit quality filters matched to your engine and replace the drain plug washer every time.
Home › Wheels, Tires, Brakes & Oil › Oil Change › Oil Filter ReplacementFluid Top-Off
Coolant, brake fluid, power steering, washer fluid, and transmission fluid all get checked and topped up at every oil change. If a fluid is consistently low, that is a leak worth investigating — and we will tell you rather than quietly refilling it again next time.
Home › Wheels, Tires, Brakes & Oil › Oil Change › Fluid Top-OffMulti-Point Check
Included with every oil change: brakes, tires, suspension, belts, hoses, lights, battery, and fluids, delivered as a digital report with photos and video. It is how a routine visit turns into knowing exactly what your vehicle needs and when.
