High-Quality Auto Repair & Maintenance in Sidney & the Saanich Peninsula
Since 1951, we have been providing our customers with a wide range of services so that you don’t have to look for multiple places for your auto maintenance needs. All of our work is performed by licenced and experienced technicians equipped with the latest tools and technology. All repairs come with a minimum 1-year/20,000 km warranty on new parts and labour. Some parts often include warranties extending more than one year. In this case, we honour the manufacturer’s warranty beyond our in-house warranty. We prefer not to install used parts; however, if there is no other option, used parts come with a 90-day warranty and no labour warranty.
