Port Coquitlam

Highly recommend this shop! Genuine and good old fashioned customer service from the phone call to dropping in the same day. As soon as I arrived, a mechanic took my vehicle for a test drive, then walked me through his assessment back at the shop and showed me the brake pads were not the issue. Turned out not to be urgent. The owner explained a potential issue with warped rotors and answered my questions thoroughly so I could comfortably make a decision about the timing of the next service appointment. The work was handed off and managed by each team member quickly and efficiently. I appreciated that on a Saturday! Thank you. ~.

John, I just wanted to take a minute of your time to thank you for your incredible service this weekend! It has been a long time since we have had that kind of service whereby not only did you fix what needed fixing but informed us of other issues and gave us a GREAT deal! You even cleaned up my car! Your outfit is incredibly professional and so proficient that you left me speechless and I needed to reach out and let you know what a great job you are doing at your location! No wonder it is so busy there! Please know that I will refer ALL of my friends your way! Again, many thanks and kind regards.

If you are looking for a quality experience with your car/truck repairs, look no further than Mr. John Sinkie at Budget Brake and Auto Centres, on Westwood, in Coquitlam. First and foremost, he is the most honest mechanic I have ever come across. He does not over state work needing to be done on your vehicle nor does he over charge. His mechanics who work for him, are honest, hard-working and efficient. They get the job done and they get the job done right – the first time. I have lived in the city of Vancouver and travelled all the way out to Coquitlam, just because I literally trust John with my life. Perhaps you might think this is a bit “Over-dramatic” however when your life is your vehicle... and getting around is the mainstay of your business... trust me, it is literally “My Life”. There was an incident, not too long ago, where my sister had taken her vehicle to a local shop that was going to charge her a few thousand dollars for this and that and those and these... You know how the story goes with many mechanics... Well, I called John and not only did he send a tow truck to have her vehicle picked up (her truck had broken down at the side of the road) and brought to his shop (the Tow Truck driver also waited with her, at the side of the road, for her friend to come pick her up before he left – a testament to the fact that John works with many other amazing professionals and only the best will do for his customers) but he took a look at her vehicle and told her that none of the previously quoted things needed to be done on her truck and that what she did need to have done would be 1/3 of the cost, originally quoted to her. My entire family now goes to see John and his Crew. I will sing his praises – far and wide, for all to hear. Again... and I cannot stress this enough, if you have a need of quality, hard-working, efficient auto service... Go. See. John!
