My car broke down the morning I was set to head home to BC. It happened to be a Wednesday. I…read morestarted it, began to leave and noticed that something wasn't right with the steering. I called the closest VW dealership and was told they would be unable to even look at my car until Tuesday. They referred me to Preferred. Preferred said they could have a look at my car that afternoon and hopefully be able to let me know what was happening. I dropped off my car around 2:00 that afternoon. We grabbed a bite to eat, and I went back to the shop to check in. They still weren't 100% sure what the problem was, but promised to call before the end of the day. They closed at 5:30. I hadn't heard anything by 5:28 so I called them (only reason I gave this a 4 instead of a 5 - I feel like a jerk for it). I was dying to hit the road and nervous as far as cost went. They said it was a broken wire and they would fix it first thing in the morning - said they would call when it was done. They must've jumped right on it because I was on the road by 9:30 the next morning to come home. The staff at preferred was so wonderful and patient with me. I'm a younger girl who hasn't had many experiences with mechanics, so I'm so thankful that I had a good one here. They gave excellent service and I am happy to recommend them.

The shop claimed they were "abused" and didnt want to replace them even tho they were 1 month old! I said how can rear shocks get abused? They are on a family suv. We live just out of town and we do drive on gravel roads.. no where before the repair did they state i wont be able to drive on gravel because they is "abuse" the shocks they put on are just cheap and low quality that cant stand up to normal wear and tear.. save the hassle and get your vehicle repaired somewhere else... i had to go to another repair shop keep in mins minute muffler charged me 600$ for 150$ in parts... the other shop said 4 year warranty or 48 000km no matter what happens we will warranty so i said driving on gravel is not "abuse?"

Doing my due diligence to WARN other new boat owners NOT to buy a boat from Open Road Recreation…read more My husband and I had the misfortune of dealing with "the sales manager" (I am apparently not allowed to include his name for specific review sites to publish) who sold us a 2011 Sanger with 151 hours on it. My husband drove 8 hours to Open Road Recreation with ample notice on which day he would be arriving to pick the boat up. Upon arrival the boat had not been cleaned or inspected to our knowledge and when my husband asked for a lake test he was told they don't offer those as there isn't a body of water close enough to provide that service. Strange but ok, keeping in mind we have never purchased a boat before. My husband was asked to return later in the day to pick up the boat. When he finally was able to return he was escorted to sign papers and then shoved out the door to make the 8 hour drive home. We purchased this boat September 28, 2020 and obviously due to the season could not use it so we pulled it to a storage facility to store over the winter. Fast forward to the first weekend in July when we pulled the boat to Koocanusa to enjoy our holidays (which due to my husband's job and their requirements had to be booked a year in advance). The boat had been winterized and stored until now, when we took it to the local marina in Koocanusa to have it dewinterized and ran up. The mechanic at the marina advised us that something was wrong and needed attention. We dropped the boat in the water as per his advice and sure enough the impeller was not operational. Nice start to our holidays. We immediately pulled it back to the marina for service and I called "said sales manager" to advise him of what had happened. Clearly he could not be bothered. Instead of being reasonable and trying to come to a comprise which an experienced sales manager would have done, he accused my husband and I of causing the damage. I tried to have an open mind as we are new to this but I could not see how his accusations can be fathomable. Our Sanger went from Open Road Recreation, to storage, to the marina but "somehow" we broke it...??? Upon a full inspection from the marina it was currently at, the impeller was never changed and the damage to it was not something my husband or I could have contributed to. The "sales manager" at Open Road Recreation seems to think otherwise. I wish that was the end of it but it gets so much worse. Keep reading. I was so upset and appalled at Open Road Recreation for refusing to take any responsibility for the machines they are selling to consumers that I posted quite a few reviews warning other potential buyers to due their homework before considering purchasing anything from Open Road Recreation. As soon as those reviews posted the "Owner" of Open Road Recreation (a quick Google search will provide that information) contacted me agreeing to help resolve this issue if I removed my reviews. I of course obliged and took them down immediately. I was extremely relieved that this owner was or so I thought genuinely concerned with the fact that they sold me a broken boat. I had several conversations with him letting him know that it was still at the marina and upon changing the impeller and doing several water tests, there was a lot more wrong with this boat than just the impeller. I have an entire invoice to support that $2400! 2 months later and almost every component changed including a complete pump assembly and the boat was still not functioning when water tested. Our mechanic even called Sanger to diagnose the issues. Several phone calls later with no response, I posted yet another review with an update of how horrendous this dealership was and guess who finally gets a call back. My husband explained to the owner how frustrated we were and how despicable the way they've handled this has been and "said owner" belittles my husband, yells at him and refers to himself and I quote as an, "effing professional". I wish I was making this up. Fun fact however my husband's speaker on his iPhone is broken so unfortunately he has to take all his calls on speaker phone. He happened to be at work during this particular call and two of his coworkers got to experience what dealing with this dealership has been like. Needless to say we have gotten nowhere as of now. The owner had stated he would pay half of the invoice for the repairs that had been made so far but if more repairs were needed that we would have to bring the boat back to Saskatchewan to have his mechanics work on it. We told our mechanic to stop working on the boat, invoice us and we were going to pull it back to Saskatchewan from B.C. where it was currently sitting. Yep the invoice came and the owner refused to pay! Seems like a small amount to pay given the circumstances and the fact he made a point to tell us he owed 6 other dealerships. Which is honestly scary to think...this is not the full review, head to google or dealer rater to see the full review

I would not trust taking my vehicle to any other service station in Regina. I had been dealing with a dealership since I bought my car and recently the warranty ran out. I had a concern with a noise I heard and was given an $800 plus estimate. After having several bad incidences happen with the service department at this dealership I decided to take my car to Kuntz's Automotive here in Regina, with a recommendation from a friend. The owner checked over my car plus another service man was asked to check it as well and both came to the conclusion this $800 estimated work was not needed. They could have gone ahead with the repair and I would not have been any the wiser but instead he explained why this wasn't needed and when he said to me he couldn't live with himself had he gone ahead with this repair, I knew I had found the one and only service shop I will ever trust to work on my vehicles. If there was a rating from 1-10 being the best, I would have a hard time giving them only a 10 when 15 even 20 wouldn't be enough to show my appreciation for how I felt leaving KUNTZ'S AUTOMOTIVE that day especially when all I could say was thankyou so much.
