My mom just called me very upset about Holdaway Automotive. She lives in Orillia but I live in…read moreanother province [I'm leaving this review on her behalf]. She got her car looked at there and they said it needed a new catalytic converter which would cost about $730. She ended up going to another mechanic to get a second opinion and it turns out all she needed was a little bit of welding done and it would only cost her $150. She doesn't have a lot of money and me and my brothers all have to live far away for work so we can't be there to look out for dirtbags like thHoldaway Automotive should be ashamed of themselves for trying to take advantage of a poor widow. Companies like Holdaway Automotive are why the general public has a bad impression of mechanics as being sleezy. Edit: as a welder, myself, I find it very hard to believe that an auto shop wouldn't have a cheap little welding machine that anyone could get from Canadian tire.

I'm just an average "user of this business". But this is 3 times now (perhaps 4; I'm losing…read morecount!) that Bill and Rob have distinguished themselves as men of integrity and honour in my eyes. Yes, they're still a business. But there's ethics and honour there as well. I cannot begin to tell you what a treat it is to deal with a mechanic in this day and age that I know is not just seeing me as a life-support system for a wallet.

My vehicle was a Nissan Exterra (4 x 4 off road) entrusted in the care of this body shop for a…read moreweek. It was towed to the location on a Friday. Monday I talked to mechanic and it was arranged to replace to two front tires. When I returned a week later March 13 2026 to pick up my vehicle the shop denied any wrong doing; But March 21st, i was told by a Neighbor that my vehicle was placed on top of the 10 foot snow back in front of the store for maybe total of 2 days of March 9th 2026. I paid for the two new front tires and left to go shopping and then; I looked under the vehicle and the sway bar on the driver's rear side was broken off. I went back to Stop & Steer mechanic shop. The shop denied anything happened. They take joyrides in your vehicle if left there and or some mechanic employed with this shop is taking advantage of customers. Beware! One of their mechanics or all are playing games with a customer who entrusts them with your own vehicle. Lack of experts here! Sad taken advantage of since I am a senior and a woman!

Decent prices, rude service…read more I needed a safety test done on my vehicle, and called a few places around town to get a price for it. When I called this place back in attempt to make an appointment, as the person who answered the phone picked up, I said "Hello. You charge around $80 for a safety test, right?" Immediately after ending my sentence, I was hung up on. I tried calling back, in case the call disconnection was accidental, and my call was not answered. It would appear that they do not want my business based on this experience, which is reasonable if they think that I am wasting their time. I think however, that being direct with me, telling me that they couldn't help me instead of hanging up on me would have been more polite.
