DON'T SERVICE YOUR CAR HERE…read more We purchased a car from this garage in August 2019. The purchasing went smoothly and we were happy with the service we received at the time. We were reassured that the 2nd hand car we purchased had been fully serviced in every way. Fast forward 9 months and we book the car in for a check-up. At the check-up, they immediately do a wheel alignment which apparently needed to be done straight away, even though this is not something I'd ever noticed driving the car previously. This ran us up $450, after which they presented a further quote for $2,200 of work that needed to be 'urgently' done. This is a significant bill to be presented with less than a year after buying the car and was over 25% of the total initial cost of the car. We decided to look into the quote a bit closer and have found the prices to be completely extortionate, and that's making the assumption that these changes were actually needed in the first place (nearly 2 months on from the service and the car is still running fine, despite the 'urgent' fixings that were apparently needed. Furthermore, after driving away from the service I was actually stopped on the highway at traffic lights to be informed that my skid guard was dragging along the floor. Yup, the mechanic didn't even screw the skid plate under the car back properly and it was dragging along the ground. I had to run the car down to a different car garage on my lunch break from work to get it fixed. I'm not instilled with much confidence in the service at this point but unfortunately, it gets worse. One of the items they said needed to be replaced was the cabin air filter. We purchased one online and thought we'd do this job ourselves. This would have been fine, except the screw for the air cabin filter is now completely threaded. So either the mechanic threaded the screw when checking and didn't bother to replace it, or they did not check the air cabin filter at all and therefore didn't notice the threaded screw. I emailed all of my concerns to Mazda and have given them over a week to respond, but just tumbleweeds at this point. I'm sure that they are not the only garage preying on consumers like a pack of hungry wolves, but this level of negligence and dishonest practices is totally unacceptable. We will never be giving Harris Mazda our business again and strongly advise looking elsewhere for your automotive needs. We will be getting the car checked by a local mechanic. It will be interesting to see if their view of the car matches up with what we were told. I'll update the review if there are any further updates in the coming weeks.

I first went about trading my infinity g37. So first I wanted to find a car. I checked out VW an…read moreAudi, BMW, Mini, and Subaru. I'd drive the golf r, Audi A4, Mini Cooper S, Fiat 123 spuder's, and and had my mindmade on the ve. I went to see what they cld do on trade an not more than 36000. They came back with 15 for my car and a golf r for 40. Funny not what I asked for, an a complete insult to my intrlegence on g37. It's a 25 thousand dollar car all day long. So dicoursged angry and untrusting I show up yet again to the Gain Group In Nanaimo. Chip on squarly, I walk the lot. Only this time I run into Mo. Sslesman, perceived enemy.y, on with my chip,and best glare. What does he do disarms with his smile and positively, damn it was good. So I chat, he seams alright, so I come back and back over a couple months. I'm waiting for my house to sell so I could buy used car. Well finally house sells, and I've got my money. By this time I'd taken my car off the market and was going to upgrade a few expensive parts. But thinking about Mo I went by Subaru to say I and check out the BRZ one more time. Only there was a new 2018 WRX. Oh, the one car I wanted to test just I could only afford the bike And there it was in black. Quickly talked to Mo and even though he had a client in 10 min. He took me out on that test. Full stop I only felt the chassy quickly on a corner and the turbo on a straightaway. But WOW it was like opening my eyes for the first time. I was sold and happier than heck to hand over remaining money which was an absolutely unreal deal they gave me. So in short. VW SUCKS, AND SUBURU RULES. Not to mention the car is a better choosy AWD and growly awesome motor that's dirt cheap to drive. No B.S go see Mo at Suburu. I've never done this before but it was worth the time if anyone listens

Dishonest and overpriced. Went in here to get a part installed for my Subaru STI, got charged 6…read morehours of labour (over 900$) for a 300$ part, which should have taken around 1 hour to install (based on youtube videos/talking to other shops) at any other mechanic. Would not recommend any work on your car be done here, they will overcharge you and not offer you any compensation.
