Had the front/rear rotors & pads done on my 2009 Odyssey back in July 2022 for approx $700. Ivan said he used Akebono coated parts which are suppose to be a premium product that I've used in my other vehicle with excellent results. The following spring, with only 10k km on these rotors/pads, I started to notice brake performance decline with it not really biting and needing to apply a lot more pedal pressure to stop properly. Brought it back for Ivan to inspect. He said rotors had a lot of rust, however, they were all suppose to be coated which greatly increases the time for rust to form. So, for rust form so quickly and so severe to affect performance in just 8 months and with only 10K Km since install....that just doesn't add up and Ivan wasn't able or willing to offer anything (possible defective warranty etc) other than to resurface them for an extra $100-200. That really didn't make any difference. So, I ended up going back to my regular guru who replaced all the pads with Power Stop shortly after. Fixed it and it was 100% better. Not sure if the issue was with the parts, the installer or a bit of both. Things just didn't make much sense to me and Ivan wasn't really taking any initiative or making any effort help me other than charging extra to hopefully remedy my issues. Lesson learned...Will keep to my guru from now on. read more

Got my oil changed here. They were quick and timely. They also inflated my wheels for me. My car hood was malfunctioning and they went above and beyond in helping me troubleshoot the issue! read more

iGarage is definitely five (5) stars all the way! A relative recommended Ivan at iGarage, and I kept him in mind for my next car repair. I needed brake replacements, as well as switching out my winter tires. I spoke to Ivan a few times, both on the phone and via email, and he is very responsive. I parked my car parallel to the service bay door, and met Ivan inside. I also had a written list, which we discussed. I noticed how friendly the employees were, and how well they worked with each other. The appointment times seem to be very well organized, and my car was in the bay within 10 minutes. After inspecting my car, Ivan explained I also needed a brake flush, and the total time would take approximately one hour. When the work was completed, an employee took my car for a test drive. It has been running smoothly ever since. I also appreciated Ivan's honesty; the invoice was exactly as discussed prior, and he repaired only what was necessary. A great find! read more

I've been going to Ivan and iGarage since 2015. I have a subaru crosstrek and he is an expert on Subaru's. I used his shop for simple jobs like oil changes and swapping out my seasonal tires to bigger jobs like replacing brakes and wheel barrings. I always have a great experience when I need to get work done. He is fast, his mechanics are friendly, professional and his shop is always neat tidy. I moved to the north york area but there is no other shop i would take my car to. Thanks Ivan! read more

Also just had my van fixed. - engine valve cover gasket replacement - spark plug replacement - brake line fix - exhaust repair (replacement of portions of exhaust with leaks) Vehicle now running much more quiet and accelerating faster. Great work as always from Ivan and team. read more

I found them via yelp and drove over. It was a bit confusing to find. It's a small garage with many other garages side by side. Oil change, cabin filter change - $90 While I waited on the side on random chairs, I met a couple who swore by this place. They had been coming for ten years and wouldn't go no place else. Waiting area was uncomfy and cold. Dress warm. He recommended I get winter tires and I thought maybe he's trying to sell me tires. But they didn't have tires. He was just being nice. Ps: they only take cash ...had to drive to a bank read more

Introduced to iGarage by my boyfriend and I've always had good experiences! Going from the dealership for every single little thing to going to iGarage has been amazing. Everything is quick and well priced. Their work is good quality and they never try to gauge you. Being a girl who doesn't know much about cars, we're often preyed upon when it comes to fixing our cars but you won't get that here. My go to for auto stuff! read more

If I could give 6 stars, I would! I researched garages and oil change businesses on behalf of a friend whose life circumstances are overwhelming. I was hoping to connect her to a garage that she could go to in the future, somewhere that I could trust would not have all sorts of "upcharges" or "find" extra work needed. Because of the reviews, the price, and speaking to Ivan himself, I made the appointment and sent her to his shop. Not only did she find Ivan and his staff very personable, but they went above and beyond to help her. The oil change was done quickly, but there was some noise going on, which they discovered to be excessive rust on the brakes. That took twice as long to deal with as the oil change, but there was no charge. I am relieved (because I sent her there) and grateful, because now she has such a good place to go for any future issues. Thanks!! read more

ARE YOU F****** KIDDING ME was the thought that kept going through my head as I experienced 3 trips here on my first day. Trip 1, $30 cash for Standard Oil/filter Change (they offer $80 for Synthetic, last longer etc...i got old crappy 15 years old Toyota, no need) + Engine light came on need a look, I haven't had an oil change done since 6 months ago. I figured it could be that's what causing the engine light to go on. Turns out to be electrical, either change spark plugs or change spark plugs and ignition coil. Suggest that I have spark plugs changed first, see if engine light comes on again since ignition coil rarely if ever is faulty over vehicle lifetime. OK. Saves me some money. The kicker? The whole thing took only 12 minutes. Oil change plus diagnosis. ARE YOU F****** KIDDING ME?!?!?! My GF who went to Agincourt Nissan for her oil changes average 2 hours wait per trip there. Trip 2, $30 cash for Standard Oil/filter Change for a year old Nissan after I told my GF and she did not want to take a whole day off work just to get an oil change done at Agincourt Nissan. The kicker? This oil change took 5 minutes. ARE YOU F****** KIDDING ME?!?!?! That's faster than a haircut...brush your teeth and wash your face and filter/oil changed for your car. Trip 3, $140 cash for replacing all sparkplugs (mind this is a 15-year-old Toyota, so other models/years may be more expensive). Originally 2-3 people came after me as walk-ins to get an oil change and they said they are kind of busy...call Ivan to make an appointment. I did speak with Ivan during Trip 2, which he said no problem, just bring in the car they will try to get it all done I may just have to wait for a little. I didn't wait for more than a few minutes for them to finish with the guy's nice Honda before me. Everything was changed in less than 15 minutes. I asked about this loud noise that's started happening recently with the car, like metals banging together. Ivan said they will take a look. He and his mechanics raised the car afterward and showed me this giant piece of metal cover under the vehicle that's above the exhaust pipe that goes to the front of the car, and another piece connected to it. Both were rusted and lose. He offered 2 solutions, 1 is to get it replaced which may run at least $400, or 2, they help me just remove the metal plate. Not only did they cut and remove the dangling metal plating, but they also drilled at least 2 screws to tighten and stabilize the other lose one closer to the front of the vehicle that also was touching the exhaust pipeline and making noise when I drive. DID NOT charge me extra. Result? Car runs years younger. Feels amazing. Last time I went to a dealership with a bearing and transmission issue, i was out of $3,000, 2 weeks, 2 trips, and was lied to, got a Used transmission instead of New even when I was told I was going to get all New parts and New transmission because I refused the lower price for Used parts. Apparently, they couldn't find a New part and never bothered asking me if that's okay, and if they revert to the lower quote for the Used parts option. Here at this repair shop, you are given all the info you need, and freedom to make your choice and options. Their service is efficient and impeccable. You literally get to sit next to where your car gets worked on and see everything in person (see photos). I will recommend anyone I know to come to this place for easy drive by oil changes and make appointments for any car issues! Only down-side is they open only Mondays through Fridays during standard work hours. Generally, people work standard work hours. Hopefully, they would consider Wed-Sun schedule at some point. read more

Quick, easy and quality service! I used to hate taking my cars for repair and stretch it as far as I could, but they changed my outlook to it. The Team there is very knowledgeable and does not try to loot you! Best place! Def recommend! read more

Holy cow!! We've been here only 15 minutes and already I want to give them a 5 star! We waited about 10 minutes outside for them to finish up the previous car, but once they drove the car in, the job began immediately. Like WOW. Talk about efficient and faaast! It took about 30 minutes for Ivan's team to change winter tires. If we went to Hyundai..it would have took 2 hours to do what these guys did in only 30 mins! Amazing! Once again, thanks to Yelp we found a place worth going to and just like everybody said..he is very honest! And the price is so reasonable! Never have we ever went to an autoshop that we could trust with excellent service. 100% coming back and I would totally recommend this autoshop! read more

UPDATE: still coming here after 2 years of service and still hands down the best garage in Markham! I almost don't want to say it to keep it less busy!! These guys are THE best! Best garage in town!! Wouldn't even think about bringing my vehicle anywhere else. Especially the stealer ship. Ivan and his crew are 3x more knowledgable than any of the techs at the dealer near my house at a third of the price.. Who wouldn't wanna come here. read more

Excellent local garage for repair and maintenance! iGarage is located inside an industrial looking grey building on Bullock. Initially, this may seem odd but as turn on to building, you will see a whole host of small auto shops. Parking is tricky as it shared with all the others but usually you can stop just outside and talk to staff. Ivan is a great owner where service is always fast and friendly - he gives you a honest opinion on maintenance and repairs. The place does a steady stream of oil changes, tire rotation and etc. Prices are good and service excellent. iGarage has become my go to spot for maintenance - the only downside is that they have become so popular it is tough to do a drop in but that is a sign of their success! Definitely recommend for your car needs! read more

iGarage is my go-to place for an auto repair. I've had amazing customer service the two times I went there from Ivan and his team. Specifically, I had to get my brakes replaced (front then rear) and Ivan gave me an affordable deal which remained consistent both times. The service provided is friendly and efficient and depending on how busy iGarage is they may be able to fix it the same day you call for a free estimate. Also, if Ivan notices any abnormalities which needed some attention he would inform me of them (i.e. my worn out winter tires). Additionally, if you need a receipt for your records Ivan will be able to send you an email with the receipt attached. I will definitely recommend this garage to any of my friends and family. read more

Came by here last week to get my tires changed ($25 with tax included) and they were super quick. In and out under 20 minutes with an appointment booked. Definitely better than Costco where I wake up at 5am to ensure I get it done that day. Thanks Ivan for the speedy service! Will definitely return for the spring time! read more

Great car repair shop. They are very honest, unlike other shops, they pointed out the rattling noise on my car was due to a rusted muffler heat shield that fallen on my muffler and I would not have problem just by removing it. They didn't charge me for helping me remove it, other dishonest shops might take advantage of it and would have charged some bucks. My dealer on the other hand was saying I need to pay $700+ to replace it and putting it as it's a serious problem. Usually I go to my dealer for oil change and maintenance, after this, from now I will go to iGarage and at least you can see the actual part that needed fixing. Got my oil change done today with iGarage, it was fast and it's being done in front of me. 15 mins and it's done. They have good knowledge about what they are doing. read more

I went to Igarage based on Yelp reviews and ratings last month. Ivan is great and was able to accommodate me. I feel he is trustworthy and honest so I did not have to second guess what he told me. So nice to feel a mechanic is genuinely telling the truth! It is a small garage and he is very busy...which also shows how well liked the garage is. This is now my new car repair shop! read more

Never been treated wrongly. Ivan is doing this because its his passion. My wife and I will always be his clients knowing he will provide honest answers and not drag on any repair. Thank you to Ivan and his helpful staff. Steve F & Christina read more

This is my new go-to car repair shop. I've read soooo many reviews on Yelp on car shops and they always fall short of the real service I get. After seeing so many 5 star reviews and my car in very, very, very bad shape - I decided to give Igarage a shot. I called Ivan the day beforehand (Monday) for an appointment on Tuesday at 3PM. I asked him how much would it be to give my car a visual check and he told me freeee!! (hehe) I came by at 3PM and he gave my car a visual check and then an estimate of how much a serpentine belt would be + oil change (came out to $150 in total). He told me approximately an hour and I came back 45 minute later and my baby was done! I didn't know it was cash only so I had to go to the bank. I offered to leave my wallet + my boyfriend and his friend as hostages, while I went to Main St. to grab some cash from Scotia. He told me it was fine and that I didn't have to leave anything. My boyfriend, being the curious teapot that he is, asked what the clicking noises was in my car - I have no idea what was being said and honestly I wasn't trying to find out ): turns out it's something that'll take $200 to repair but it's not necessary for my car to be healthy and running (thanks for not scamming me Ivan, because I probably would've gotten it done right there and then). My baby runs as smooth as she did when I first got her. Thanks Ivan! See you next car repair///oil change! read more

a 3 year update! I am still going to Ivan and I love how he is so accommodating, especially with my parents. My parents are old and my dad has alzheimers. It is hard for him to remember things and my mother who is also old doesn't know much about cars. All I have to do is give Ivan a call and tell him what needs to be done and he does without a problem. I can trust him to take care of my parents when they get there and make sure that everything is safe. I also know that he'll never take advantage of my parents who are so vulnerable at their age. read more

- i drive from downtown to visit igarage - they guys are honest, straight-shooters, and aren't looking to game you. - definite recommendation. read more

Superb customer service from the owner Ivan. Very friendly and very honest with the work he does. Why wait at the stealerships for 2 hrs and get charged $60-80 for an oil change and they try to upsell you other services when Ivan can get you back on the road in an instant at a portion of the stealership price. Plus you get to see your car get worked on. I have been a loyal customer for over 5 years now. And Ivan has not disappointed at all. The other guys working there are also friendly and wont hesitate to answer any question you've got. I would suggest making an appointment with Ivan before going in just to make sure you are not going to be rejected only cus they might be busy. From regular maintenance to custom or aftermarket work, Ivan is your man. read more

This shop was super quick and affordable. Took only 30 minutes for an oil change and tire change together. Shuttle service to the mall was superb and customer service was impeccable. This was my first time visiting the shop and I am very impressed. read more

Cliche, but I literally created this account to let people know how good Igarage and Ivan are. Went there this morning during the busy winter-tire change to get my headlights checked out. Ivan was friendly, and after waiting a 20 minutes (he was working on someone else's car, I didn't expect him to drop everything and service me immediately), he walked over, popped the hood, examined the headlights, and told me what the problem was. He apologized for not having the proper part, (I had an after market kit, so not his fault) and told me exactly where to go to get it. When I asked how much it was for the inspection, he said not to worry about it. Definitely going to make this garage my go to. read more

Been going to Ivan for nine years now. Always friendly, always reliable. Doesn't pressure you to fix things, always gives his opinion and then let's you make the final decision. Honest mechanics are hard to find these days. When you find one, make sure you treat him well. Other mechanics can learn a thing or two on how to do business. Have recommended many friends and family and they all continue to use Ivan for their maintenance needs. Thanks for everything Ivan! UPDATE: Updated number of years been going to him. read more

This place is the bomb, I come here for all my basic car maintenance needs, oil changes, transmission fluid changes, etc. I'm always in and out in less than 15 minutes, never have they tried to up-sell me for something I didn't need, its also really affordable. It's best to book an appointment before arrival. read more

Trusted, Good Price! They are so popular that they don't need to try and trick you into spending more. Only thing is you should book an appointment because of all the people that go to this place. These guys are the reason my old car is running stronger than most new cars. read more

Brought my 2005 Porsche Cayenne to do break pads and drums. Bought all original parts costing me over $2000 from Porsche. Brought here so they can put it in for me cuz of course labour here is cheaper than the dealer. Me being a girl, left my car there while they did the change. Later finding out that only the 2 fronts were replaced and the back wasn't repaired or after market parts were put in cuz the 2 back breaks are all rusted!!! Later my mom pointed out that they look different from the front when u look up close!!! So if you do any repairs make sure you stay there!!! read more

Very nice garage and friendly people. Sent an email to Ivan and he replied back with the info I needed. Took only 10 minutes for an oil and filter change with a bonus tire pressure check. Will go back for sure! read more

Never trust them. In May 2017, my wife's car needed changing engine oil. I searched the Internet. Because they looked to have a top rating, I contacted them. I bought the discounted (but good brand) engine oil(Pennzoil) and filter(Bosch) from CT and Amazon and my wife gave to them to change. Their charged was reasonable and I didn't check at that time. In Jan 2018, my wife's car reaches another 8K km. This time I have time and try to follow the youtube videos to change engine oil/filter myself. What I found is the oil filter is still the OLD OEM (Nissan) filter. It's NOT the Bosch filter I bought. A filter doesn't cost much. But it'll KILL the engine. I'm not sure whether they did this purposefully for money or missed it by mistake. Neither one makes me trust them again!!! and I don't know how they could get their high rating! I would highly recommend you to double check yours if you still plan to go with them. read more

Ivan and his team are excellent. Came here 3-4 times already and now going in for changing brake pad and rotors on van. Very accommodating. Best to call ahead and book appointment! Highly recommended. I will update once brake pads and rotors job are complete! read more

This is one of the best shops I've ever been to so I am bringing my car here every single time. Ivan is very helpful, honest, and informative. He called me mid way through my appointment to tell me that I needed a new engine due to an internal problem (2008 Volkswagen GTI) and what I should expect. I appreciate the honest prices and services and will refer many people to this shop! read more

Tires supplier, TBR, LTR, OTR, many kinds of tires we could supply, any interesting could contact me zmgasd@gmail.com www.gleetire.com read more

Ivan is GREAT! I just went to him today because i heard clunking noise from the back of my car after having my mazdaspeed sway bar installed for the front and rear. My old mechanic tells me that it's the shocks that are gone and needs replacement. Turns out that my previous idiot mechanic didn't tighten my rear sway bar and Ivan was able to do that for me. I was expecting to pay when Ivan told me not to worry about it I was shocked and I couldn't be more happier! He's definitely a very trusted mechanic and I'm going to go there from now on for all my services! read more

What can I say? The reviews speak for themselves. Not only Yelp, but on other online car forums as well. I've been going to Ivan for three years now, and have made him my official mechanic. His prices, quality of work, and response time in replying back to inquiries are fantastic. He's an honest mechanic, and knows what he's doing. He doesn't specialize in only one brand of vehicle, but all - European, Domestic and Japanese. I have never had any issues, and recommend others to him. He lives by his quality of work. Also be on the lookout for his Motul synthetic oil sale. Can't go wrong with that. read more

Just made my first visit to iGarage yesterday morning. Ivan diagnosed my belt was too loose (which was correct) and saved me from getting a new power steering pump (my now ex-mechanics diagnosis). Gave me a quote for a timing belt replacement better than anywhere else I asked. You can tell his team knows what they're doing, and I am beginning to understand why they are so popular here. read more

Been going to iGarage for 4-5 years. Ivan (owner) is the one of the most honest mechanic I've encounter. He does not try to upsell you any maintenance you do no need and gives you advice when you ask him. He even has a shuttle service to Markville Mall if the job takes several hours to complete so you are not stuck waiting.] His prices are very fair, and I have recommended him to all of my friends & family. Tip: Book well in advance as he gets very busy. read more

Good and honest mechanics are hard to find these days. Ivan was knowledgeable, informative, and fair with his pricing. Compared with other shops in the GTA. Im coming from downtown Toronto to Markham. Ive even heard customers coming all the way from Brampton! That shows me a lot about this shop. read more

Excellent mechanic. Fair, honest and better priced than the competition. Specializes in Mazda but works on all makes as I understand it. Doesn't sell services not necessary, works fast, offers OEM where possible or third party alternatives for parts and does high quality work. Been going here since around 2015 and wouldn't even consider anyone else at this point. read more

Not that they need any more praise but I believe in giving credit where it is due. I chose this shop today after reading some Google reviews and I am really happy that I went. I called ahead as suggested by a reviewer and the shop was able to take me in immediately at 9:30am. It is a no-frills place, nobody introduced themselves when I walked in but I was greeted with a smile and I felt totally comfortable. It is a very small but tidy shop and it appears to be run very efficiently, I was in and out very quickly. They removed my rattling heat shield for no charge and, problem solved, I was on my way feeling great that I (being a female) didn't get taken advantage of. I would definitely go back and certainly recommend them to the Markham crowd. read more
