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.

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 !

Autobody shops aren't the kind of place you just wander into and think "hey, I should get some work…read moredone on my car." You go looking when it's necessary, but where do you go? We were referred to Balwin Collision by our insurer and we got lucky. All of our dealings with Balwin Collision were excellent. The manager was very friendly and helpful and helped us through the process in evaluating the damage to our car and getting it fixed. The work on our car was done quickly and everything looks better than before. I know the outside of a car has to be cleaned before painting any of it but our whole car looked like it had a new paint job. It looks great! The last thing I expected was for the car to be cleaned inside but the interior was spotless, even the trunk! I swear they had to have steam cleaned everything. For obvious reasons, I hope I never have to use Balwin Collision's services again, but it is Edmonton after all, so I just might. And if I do need an autobody shop again, I won't hesitate to call these guys.

The bottom 2 reviews are all that I had to go on when I was looking for work done to my car so here it goes. In April of 2013, I needed an out of province inspection done to my 2006 Audi A3. Moving from Toronto I figure this shop will do since it's close to work. By virtue of not knowing any better of how this program works here in Alberta, I was needless to say taken advantage of. They charged $130 for the inspection and got back to me with a rap sheet of $2000 worth of repairs required to pass as follows; 1. Daylight running light 2. Wheel bearings needed to be replaced 3. CV Boot needed to be replaced on both front axles I wouldn't have a problem doing #1 myself since all I had to do was use my VAG-COM tool to activate the fog lights as my daylight running lights. Alas, this I feel was utter nonsense that they spent 3.5 shop hours ($800 including equipment needed from what memory recalls) installing a relay harness to activate my headlamps as the DRL when all they needed to do was use their VAG-COM tool to activate the fog lights as the DRL. #2 I really don't have much of issue with since they needed to be replaced but to charge me $500 for this. ON top of that they quoted me $1,800 initially but added a couple more hours because of farting around to bring my total above $2,000 to take me for an even bigger ride. #3 Total nonsense they had to change this out entirely as it does not facilitate any safety issue. So we are at $1,500 now, they charged me $500 because they felt like it and called it a day because they ran out of other areas to nit pick on. CONSUMERS, if you are new to ALBERTA...do not go here for an out of province inspection. They will see you as a DOLLAR sign to line their pockets because of this loophole in the system that allows them to use the out of province inspection as a tool to extort money from you simply because, you need to pass it to be able to register your car here. I brought this complaint up with the Better Business Bureau and City of Edmonton to no avail. If you want to get an out of province inspection done, look up INSPECTORS on the south side. I took my 2008 Mercedes R320 there that I bought from Montreal, they charge $240 for the inspection but they keep it honest. My rear brakes were less than 40% worn and they still passed it. Had I taken it here, they would have charged me $1000 to replace the brakes and god knows what other nonsense they can come up with. To me honesty and accountability is what matters most, if you take your car here for an inspection, GET A SECOND OPINION. Get as many opinions until you find a shop that will pass your car without any nonsense. Don't settle for their outrageous and dubious charges.
