After being disappointed by other garages that I had tried in Halifax (e.g. being told I was going…read moreto need to replace an expensive part, but when my family's long-term mechanic in NB checked it, there wasn't anything wrong with it), I tried out Coast Tire & Auto on Young St. I've now been taking my car here for two years and they are WONDERFUL! They're really straight-forward, down-to-Earth and don't try to upsell you. They'll let you know if there are parts that can wait to be replaced or if they need to be done right away. Once my car had a sporadic strange noise and when they couldn't find an issue on my first visit, they told me to drop in any time it was doing it without making an appointment. (They've since figured it out and fixed it.) They offer taxi chits if you need to drop your car off and go somewhere and come back. I am a repeat customer because of their customer service and recommend them regularly. The only drawback at this location is that sometimes parking can be hard to find. When that happens, I usually just pull up in front of the window and pop in to ask where they want me to leave the car. It also helps that they have a 10% CAA discount!

As a woman new to the province, it was such a relief to find an auto service business where I didn't have to worry about being overcharged, or talked into repairs I did not need, as was my experience elsewhere.

Nervous about my engine overheating, I called around and all the auto repair shops in the area were booked solid. Speedy Auto was no exception, but Shawn told me he could squeeze me in as he knew I was in a bit of a jam having to get my infant daughter down for her nap and pick up my oldest daughter from school later. I dropped the car off right away at 11:45 and it was all fixed by 1:30 - amazing! They checked for leaks, which was my biggest concern, and detected none, and just topped it off for me. Shawn also told me not to worry about the cost, but I do prefer to pay for such good service. Either way, they have definitely earned themselves a new customer. It's the little things many auto repair shops miss, and their good deed today should not go unnoticed. If anyone is unhappy with their current dealership or repair shop, I think they should consider giving Speedy a shot. Thanks in particular to Shawn for such great service!

I am fortunate in that my father works in the auto industry and that his knowledge, connections,…read moreand generosity have kept my wonderful little Toyota working for the last 15 years. I am also fortunate that he's sent me to Laurie's Complete Auto Service every time my car has needed something major done (new brake lines, etc.). The company's motto of honest and trustworthy service rings true every time. My mechanic, Gerry Strum, has always been straightforward with with me, and each time I get my bill, it's less expensive than I'd anticipated. Can't go wrong with that! If you're considering dropping your vehicle off at Laurie's, keep in mind that this little place is: 1. Easy to miss - it's in the same building as Alpine Auto and a tattoo parlor. 2. Always quite busy - if the fix is going to take a few hours, they might not be able to squeeze you in today or tomorrow. 3. Run entirely by the (very adept) mechanics - if you call and get no response, it's because everyone is working away on something. They WILL get back to you, and they're very good at keeping customers updated on the status of the repair. I hope no one from this shop retires any time soon. Can't say enough good things about it.

Jim (the previous manager or owner) knew what customer service was and appreciated customer loyalty. Things have drastically changed! Just today I called looking to get on a hoist for an urgent but quick repair to refasten the heat shield to the underside of my car. The front half had fallen down and is acting like a plough and is about catch and completely rip off. Something that really couldn't wait, right?! I figured they could slip me in for the 5 minutes it would take to run a couple of screws in while I I waited. NOPE!! I called and spoke to a woman and told her the issue and that basically the car is not drivable without almost certain further immediate damage. When I suggested they might slip me in for this quick repair, she just about laughed. She went on to tell me that 10 DAYS from now is the first time they could possibly look at it and that they had 50 cars waiting. Huh? Not; " We happen to be super busy today but I'll see what I can do, OR try back later this afternoon OR I'll put you on a list for cancellations. Nothing. No effort to help. What's the point of being loyal to a garage when the one time I need something small done quickly they don't even try to help me? WTF I was extremely disappointed after all these years. I guess I'll have to go somewhere else. It appears their days of customer service are done and trying to jam through as many cars as possible is what's important. : (

On May 15, 2023, this repair shop, OK Tire at Lady Hammonds Rd., replaced a converter, charged me…read more$1,304.10 just for the part, plus costs for labors and supplies. With the invoice showing the code of the part, I was able to check by Googling the market price of the part - only to realize that the part is selling for $659.97 by Parts Avatar, delivered for free across Canada. So, the repair shop got an exorbitant 97% margin on the part! This is repair services where you make living largely on labor and expertise, not on parts you just order and pass their costs to customers, especially given the part's great availability in the whole country. Being in the business, the shop certainly can get an even lower price from its regular suppliers. The shop could have suggested to me to get the part delivered at a much lower cost to their shop to get installed; instead, they FOOLED a customer by HIDING such a possibility just to make UNJUSTIFIABLE money of $636 ! That is total lack of transparency, honesty, and customer care in best, and deceptive business practice in worst.
