Very fair price for time spent on a brake inspection to diagnose what I thought... was a brake related noise. They took everything apart and said components all looked good and were working fine and safely - no work needed, didn’t try to sell me unnecessary repairs or parts. Adam and Mike were very helpful, with great service from the whole team from reception to technicians. Great experience - will be back as needed and would recommend.read more
I had my vehicle serviced here in February’s and was very impressed with Adam... and his team. If your looking for a honest shop I’d highly recommend this location, They will give you a price on how much the work order/job is gonna cost you ahead of time and will stay in contact via phone call or text message if anything changes.After I left my vehicle there for the day to repair a hole in my exhaust Adam noticed certain parts on the car that were worn out and he gave me the option to fix it if I wanted. He sent photos of certain things that were worn out on the car and always asking if I’d like to get it repaired. He did not just repair it without asking me which I respect a lot! Over all Adam and his team is a great hard working honest team. Adam stayed in contact with me through out the process. He even went ahead and fixed a couple of loose heat shield in the engine bay for me so no more rattling.Overall my experience here was phenomenal and if your looking to get your car serviced have Adam and his team take care of it. Thanks Adam for the positive experience I’ll definitely be recommending you to my friends and family. Cheersread more
It's hard to find a mechanic you can trust but I found that in Adam. He never... upsells you on stuff your car doesn't need.My old Toyota's backlighting on the dash had an intermittent defect for years. I took it to Toyota a bunch of times and mentioned it. They said there was nothing wrong with it. Then it finally gave up the ghost entirely. Toyota said it was very complicated to remove the dash and fix, hundreds of dollars, and that it wouldn't really be worth the trouble.After that I couldn't drive it at night because I couldn't see my own speed or the fuel gage or anything after dark.In this time a friend recommended Budget on Barnet. I dropped it there for basic maintenance - oil change etc - and when handing it back Adam said "oh, by the way, I noticed your dash light was out so I fixed it."Just like that. Didn't even charge. He said it only took a second.Never went to Toyota again.Obviously they don't normally do work without checking first, and they call and quote you before going ahead with anything, but if there's something they can fix in a second without it costing much of anything they just do it and mention it casually on check out.They also help you triage your repairs. "Such and such is wearing out and will probably need to be replaced next year, but it isn't urgent" vs "well, it can wait a little while but it's going to need to be addressed soon" vs "we can't legally let you drive it out of here like that."And they stand by their work too. Once I had some major brake work done. Pricey stuff. I think it was done by a new employee. Then the brakes failed two days after we got it back. We ended up stranded and had to call BCAA. Had it towed back to Budget. We were pretty mad.Adam called and said one thing and it defused us instantly. "Yeah... sorry."The work was re-done, no charge, and we were offered loaner....And maybe this is unrelated but I never saw that new hire again after that...When my Mazda's head lamp busted, and Adam got quoted hundreds from Mazda for the part we needed, he told me to give him 24-48 hours first. He reasoned that there were plenty of this model sitting around in scrap yards so he wanted to make some calls. In 24 hours he had the part.Point is, this is an honest shop run by an honest and knowledgeable guy. His employees are cheerful, personable, and competent, and they quickly learn your face if your cars are as old and in need of constant service as mine are.So yeah. Go to Budget.read more
Adam was prompt and efficient and transparent in his diagnosis of my 2008 Yaris... needing a new muffler and possibly a new centre pipe. He managed to put together a solution that saved me time and money. Thank you, Adam! I will recommend you.👍👏read more
They did a great job. Very honest about pricing, and what needs to be done. No... harsh upselling.read more
This business will absolutely be my new 'go-to place' for auto repairs. I was... very flustered and clueless with my ongoing ICBC claim; however, Adam was able to swoop in and help me with everything! I had my catalytic converter stolen and another shop repaired the damages... unfortunately, the repair was incomplete due to the other shop missing some additional damage. Adam was patient, genuine, and really took the time to explain what was going on with my vehicle. Additionally, Adam was able to contact ICBC via email to help support me with my claim. After visiting Adam's shop, my vehicle was running exactly the way it was before the theft. Lastly, when I picked up my vehicle, Adam and his team, vacuumed and washed it for me upon arrival... how wonderful is that? I am so thankful for the time and support. Thank you again, Adam!!read more
