I went looking for a new service shop for my Volks after a customer service nightmare at Norden…read moreAutohaus. They had been great up until they were bought out by Go Auto, and for me, the service went rapidly downhill. (a tip... never take your vehicle to a shop that has it's service writers on commission.) After polling friends who were Volks Folks, the number 1 recommendation was Dubsport, so with a needed tune up looming, I paid a visit. Dubsport is just the sort of place I love. One guy running a bustling little shop, who offers excellent service and value, and is willing to answer your questions honestly. Richard was extremely helpful and accommodating, and did a wonderful job on the car. On a couple of occasions since, he has helped me with inquiries and minor issues quickly and painlessly, and I am now a diehard Dubsport fan. I recommend this spot highly, if you are suffering from dealership abuse, or you just love your Volkswagen / Audi and want someone who will treat it right.

If you need you VW serviced this is the place to go. I personally had the turbo replaced in my TDI…read moreand loved it. With this and a bunch of other repairs the bill was much less than what any of the dealers wanted to charge me just for the turbo replacement. I have sent several friends there and they are nice enough to tell you ahead of time if it is worth it. A friends transmission was failing and he let her know how much the fix would cost and the fact that replacing the solenoid as it was saying would most probably not solve it and it would require a full trans replacement. So she could decide ahead of time that it was not worth it to start down that road on an old vehicle that the repairs would cost more than it would be worth. Dealers would have done the initial repair knowing that it would just have been pouring money into a hole.

Thanks for your great work! - Sept 2019 I have been going to Allan since I moved to Edmonton 4 years ago. He is super helpful, friendly, and kind. His prices are always fair and you can always count on him to fix only what is needed. He now services my friends and family's vehicles from luxury BMW to Japanese and domestic! - Aug 2019 We have 3 cars and we have been going to Allan since 1990.He is honest and do good work. I have a nephew who lives in Calgary. He visits his parents twice a year in Edmonton. Whenever he is here he has his car service by Allan. When I read about negative reviews I shake my head. People are either exaggerating or telling untruth. If you are not satisfied come back, Allan will fix whatever is wrong or give you an explanation. After all it is your money and you deserve good service. We are going nowhere. May 2019 Allan is amazing took my car in and now it's running better than ever & prices are very friendly would recommend this shop to everyone ! Thanks again Allan and your awesome staff - 18 Oct 2018 Fairly priced and can be trusted for work carried out. Will go there again. - May 2018 Alan is super helpful. Kaltire quoted me for a simple job of replacing a tire stud at 400 dollars Leungs did it for 80 dollars. They do a great job here for a good price.

Updating my review…read more Still coming to Chase and his team at Gate Avenue Service - I think we've brought 4 vehicles here now over 10 years. First and most importantly, Chase and his team are honest and hard working. They are extremely busy but always make time to diagnose and give second opinions. They have saved me money and given me solid advice multiple times when dealerships were leaving me astray. Most recently Chase and his team helped me to advocate (aka fight) Hyundai to get a replacement on my engine. Chase provided me all the documentation that Hyundai required not once, but twice, and in paper and in e-mail after Hyundai "misplaced" it. Chase did both of these requests same day. Chase has seen me at my worst (in tears) completely overwhelmed with car stress (and I don't speak car) and also completely flustered trying to explain what felt off with my vehicle when I seriously was not describing it well. The team at Gate is always courteous and treat me and all the customers I have ever seen with respect. The only limitation or downside with Gate is that they are really busy - and for good reason! So you may have to wait a bit for an appointment but they will always treat you right! PS They offer a program to store your tires for you! I always buy my tires and extra rims from them and they store them for me in off seasons. PSS they are located right behind Petro Canada on St. Albert Trail

February 25,2026 review:…read more My wife and I have been bringing our cars for repair, summer/ winter tire switch outs/ storage to Gate Avenue Service in St. Albert for 5 plus years. So I am comfortable in providing an honest and reliable review of this business. All of our dealings during that time have been with this company's first point of customer contact, that being Chase, the Manager. Chase has mastered the art of making clients feel welcome as soon as they enter the premises. I can easily say that Chase has provided top notch,first class customer service to us. I know my wife appreciates always being treated in a courteous and friendly manner. The quality of repair work is at a high standard and the prices are reasonable. I highly recommend bringing your vehicles to Gate Avenue Service.

You can almost guarantee you'll have to go back a second time cause either a)the problem wasn't fixed or B) something else just happened to fail as soon as you drive away. Prices have almost tripled in the last 6 months, and sometimes I've seen people waiting 15 minutes before someone even greets them. They order wrong parts or forget to order them complete then lie when questioned about the ETA, passing the blame off. But there's never a shortage of alcohol and cigarettes in the break room, or random alcoholics spouting racist jokes off. One journeyman technician on site out of the 3 that pull wrenches.
