I was referred to Chris at Indrive and after a brief conversation and a thorough inspection of the car he was confident that he knew what was wrong and provided a very reasonable quote...long story short my car now drives like the day I bought it! I am impressed with the honesty and expertise shown and going forward will not even consider taking my car anywhere else. Karl.

I was told by a couple European car shops that they would have to start by putting in a new transmission and go from there. Thank God none of them wanted to work on it!!! Indrive did thier own diagnostics ( they could have just charged me for a new tranny right off the bat, as I told them that's what it needed) which would have been a huge chunk of change for thier shop. But after trouble shooting, the repairs actually needed were thousands less!!! In these days when everyone is struggling with insane inflation, I fully expected to be raked over the coals but I most certainly was not!!! This garage and everyone working within it is AMAZING!!! I just had to say it. ( I couldn't help myself)

So we had a fun experience…read more.. 2020 Tundra purchased from Georgian GM back in June of 2024. Sooooo the only good part was the salesman, he was eager to help, his name was Jonathan. He was friendly. So I drive an hour and a half to look at this truck, in the ad damage on the rear bumper was NOT listed, the tires were also completely bald and DOT was older than 5 years. No big deal, we discussed, they knocked off $1500 from the price of the truck, and proceeded to move forward. I had tires for that extra truck at home which were in great shape to pass safety. The ONLY thing I asked of them was obviously truck needs to be certified/safetied, and for it to pass it needed an alignment REALLY badly. Hard shake and clearly driving sideways on the highway. I picked up the truck one day in the late afternoon, first things first the truck is dirty. It had stains everywhere, so they brought it back in the had to wiped down again. Then I leave the dealership. I drove for about 15 minutes before getting on the highway, I noticed the steering was a little off but I didn't overthink it. I get onto the highway, the truck at EXACTLY 100km/h would struggle to hold the lane that's how bad the alignment was. I immediately called them and explained what was going on, they said bring it to any GM dealer near me and they will reimburse. I take it to Royfoss in Thornhill, they took videos and pictures proving the work done, showing the alignment was clearly far out of spec, and not only that, there was an oil leak they didn't tell me about!! To make this all better, about one month later, I only drove maybe 400-500km in the month because I was waiting for the oil leak to be diagnosed (the oil filter housing was cracked, which Georgian GM claimed they did an oil change before I picked it up). All of a sudden I press the brakes and there's a strong vibration in the steering wheel. The dealership 'claimed' it had new brakes, it was not. The pads were almost new, and the front rotors were completely dry rotted, and rusted. I still have those rotors in my garage, with rust marks and dry rotting all over. Next, I get the front brakes done, then a shop recommends getting an inspection done because something was leaking on the back end... my rear differential was leaking, and my transfer case was also leaking... but it had stopped by that point. After all this, one thing I never tried until they brought it to the shop for the inspection, the parking brake didn't work... For the record, I never even got a reimbursement for the alignment which came out to $300, because the tie rods were seized... video proof done by Royfoss Thornhill. Didn't know a bad allignment, dry rotted brakes, an inoperative parking brake, and a leaking differential can still pass a safety inspection? All in all, horrible experience at this dealership. I understand buying a used car is you buy it the way it is, however if you sell a car safety certified, do a proper inspection.

Towed to dealership where they started unauthorized repairs on unrelated system, and another new battery was ordered. 3 weeks later the second new battery was installed and the car was returned once again to me (fully charged). This time the car drove for 2 weeks before refusing to move again. Returned to dealer a third time. This time the problem was found to be a body module software update which they charged me for. I was offered compensation for fuel which I'm still waiting for as well. Discussing with GM corporate and still awaiting an explanation from the shop foreman. Oh and the $50 to clean the loaner was a further slap in the face. Stay away from this stealership.

When my long time trusted Porsche mechanic diagnosed my 996 with cylinder scoring and had to be…read morerebuilt, he said there was no one local capable but could get a rebuild from California with an upgrade to 3.8 litre. Seamed like a good option. Then when I soon had intermittent misfires happening, he diagnosed the newly rebuilt engine from California with bottom end issues. Again he said there was no one in Southwestern Ontario capable of tearing down the block to determine the cause or fix it. My own internet search took me to Chariots of Simcoe. My old mechanic could not have been so wrong!!! Sati is the most knowledgeable and capable Porsche mechanic I have ever spoken with. He did a complete disassembling of the motor to discover my cylinders were not properly aligned to the top of the block causing coolant entering the combustion chamber, as well as a few other issues with the US rebuild. He was able to machine the block flush, procure custom head gaskets and better rings and completely rebuild the motor, also fixing the other issues, all staying true to his quoted price. Now my car is running smooth and stronger than ever. I only wish I had known about Chariots of Simcoe and had Sati rebuild my motor the first time.

He completely butchered all the sensor wires because he messed up and clearly didn't know what he was doing. He ran the wiring harness in the wrong direction and had to add wire in and caused misfiring in my engine and all kinds of different sensor error codes. He zip tied the wires to anything he could. Because of his lack of knowledge and professionalism the re-wiring he completed shorted one of my modules. I took my car to Georgian BMW right after and they confirmed they did a botch job with photo evidence. They wrote everything JB Tire Tec did in detail in the invoice. This cost me over $3300 to fix. He is not responding to any of our text messages. We can see the read receipts and he is completely ignoring us and not taking any responsibility. Shame on him! Do not ever do business with this man. He will ruin your vehicle and cost you thousands of dollars. Look at the photos the dealership sent me. Its absolutely gut wrenching to see this kind of work done to your BMW.
