This place is, by far, the worst dealership in the HRM for its customer service. It seems that…read morethey are capable of selling vehicles but horrible at delivering service after the sell. In 2024, I purchased a vehicle for my wife. Brand new 2024 Altima with extended warranty and all in cash deal. Less than two years after the purchase and less than 10K km per year on the vehicle it started to make a popping noise each time we put it in gear. We took it in for its regular routine service and told the advisor of the noise. To our disappointment, we were advised that the routine service was performed but we needed an appointment to further explore said noise. Having no option but to comply, we scheduled an appointment to address the "noise ". The car was taken in on a Friday night for a Saturday morning appointment. We received a call on Saturday afternoon to pick up the car at which time we were informed that they had performed an (unauthorized) brake job and that they felt that was the issue. (It wasn't). They said that the service technician had done a road test and heard nothing. To both my wife's and my amazement, we simply asked who did the road test. The technician was summoned to take a quick ride with us and before we could move from the parking space we heard the noise. The technician looked at us both and said .... "OH". As if to suggest oh $hit. We went back in the service room and were informed that since it was Saturday, we would have to schedule yet another appointment. All that said, a new appointment was scheduled, but we were given assurance. There was nothing to worry about and that my wife could continue to drive this vehicle. The person in Service said oh it probably just needs a little grease on the axles no problem. Fast forward to the appointment date. My wife was about 30 minutes late because she was not feeling well on the day of the appointment. When she called to ask if she could bring the car in anyway, she was told that she would have to schedule yet another appointment. This appointment would put us at about 35 days of trying to work this issue out with the dealership. Therefore, the next week I reached out to the service manager, who was far from empathetic, concern, or for that matter, professional. When I mentioned to him what my concerns were, he basically blew it off in one of the most condescending manners that I've ever been spoken to. Initially, he would not return any calls that I made to him until I left a message saying that if I did not hear from him, I would come to the dealership to speak to him in person. That got a quick call from him with him basically saying that there was not much more he could do. Either therefore escalate the matter to the general manager to try to get an appointment sooner than the one that they had pushed out to the end of July. After a lot of finagling, the general manager was able to get us in approximately a week sooner than we were actually scheduled. It was then that we learned that the front axle of a practically new vehicle was in need of repair. This we learned after being told that the vehicle was safe to drive while my wife and I took a trip to the Annapolis Valley in a car with a blown axle. In my opinion, this dealership has a service department filled with incompetence and personnel, lacking empathy, respect, and a sense of responsiveness to their customers. While I would never recommend people to not support local businesses, this is one that I can personally advise people to stay away from. This may be an isolated situation or it may be a symptom indicative of a much bigger problem that has not been expressed by other consumers. I believe strongly that when people spend hard earned money, they should be treated with respect and most of all, when it comes to the health and safety of consumers, especially when dealing with automobiles, it is not something that should be blown off and treated as if it's not a big deal. Lastly, just to be certain that we never experienced another mishap with this dealer relative to the automobile we purchased, my wife and I decided to part ways with this vehicle. The rating system only allows one star, however, if I were able to give them zero stars I would have.

I've been a fan of Princess Auto since it was a fledgling mail-order business back in the mid-…read more1960s. It's a place where you can find quality parts and surplus parts at cheap prices AND their warranty is exceptionally - "If you aren't happy, bring it back and get your money back." I've done that on a couple of occasions when I had bought some piece on 'spec' that it would fit, but didn't - they honoured their pledge: No questions asked! Now their stores are in many larger Canadian cities and I look for them and spend my free time there when the wife is doing her thing at some girly store - Actually, she sometimes likes to browse there too.

I like this place. I…read moredon't like it as mush as your everyday Canadian Tire, but i like this place. It is the at home handyman, the weekend warriors haven. It has everything, tools, power units (chippers, generators, etc), trailer accessories, welding, the list goes on. The house brand is POWER FIST, and i have mixed feelings on it. The prices seem to be as good or slightly better than the Mastercraft (Cdn tire brand) but i don't feel the quality is on the same field, althoguh close. Do i own Power Fist tools? Hell yeah, for what i do, i usually go with the best price! Yes the place seems like it is in disarray, with stuff everywhere, but spend a little time in there and it makes sense. Although that could be due to my ever increasing insanity. Need a tool for something to do at home, keep this place on the list of places you search. You just may be surprised.

Here's a story, of a gal named Lisa who was trying to get her Matrix parts for cheap…read more.. So a few months ago, I was told my oil pan was leaky and that I'd need to get it replaced at some point. Not an emergency, but something to keep in mind. I decided to call Big Bargain's and order the parts for what seemed like a pretty decent price. This was close to Christmas when time and money are tight. "I need an oil pan and gasket for a 2005 Toyota Matrix" says I. "No problem, they'll be in tomorrow", says he. Picked them up and went on my way. My boyfriend had taken off the box with the intention of maybe trying to put them on for me (but thank god he didn't as you'll soon discover). Fast forward a few months when I finally had the time, money and opportunity to get them replaced. Took my car to Cdn Tire in Bayers Lake where as it turns out, a fellow from my hometown is the shop foreman. "I have the parts," says I. "Just need the labour". A few hours later, I get a call to tell me that the oil pan I have is NOT the right part. FFS. OK, so they have the correct oil pan but have no idea what the one I have is. So the bill goes from labour, to labour and parts. GREAT! Miraculously, I found the receipt in the back of my car for the original oil pan/gasket. Head to Dartmouth with my mystery part and hope for the best. The missing box becomes the issue. The missing part # becomes the issue. More or less understandable, except for the fact that they have a much better chance of figuring it out and selling it than me. AND the fact that it wasn't my mistake. It was them or their supplier. Cut to the chase and they gave me back the $ for my gasket (which was the cheap part) but refused to take the oil pan because "what are they supposed to do with it?" HA! What am I supposed to do with it??? The thing that really got me the most pissed off though was the fact that there was an expectation from the guy I was dealing with that I should have some understanding (sympathy) for his situation. He was condescending: "You look confused" said he. None of this was my fault. I trusted that I got what I ordered. And for the amount of money it would have been to accept the return of a clearly never used part, it wasn't worth how this whole experience made me feel. "I don't like pissing customers off, but..." he said. So he pissed me off for $85 and lost a customer for good. The only thing I can do is write this review. And hope someone on Kijiji buys the oil pan. Because otherwise I'm out the money for a part I never asked for. Thanks, Big Bargains. Really good deal.

Bought a brand new car here. Good sales experience. Awful service. Cannot balance brand new tires…read moreand rims. Had to return for re-balance. No apology. Have been getting exhaust fumes in my car since at least december. Dealership failed to properly diagnose at least 2 times. After my diagnosis proved the rear door is not sealing/closing all the way. They were about to work on the driver door when I dropped the car off. Still getting exhaust fumes inhaled by me/passengers every drive. Hybrid battery air intake is also inhaling the road salt, moisture, and cold air nearly directly into the hybrid air intake. The battery will be ruined and the car is worth nothing if moisture and salt is detected past the air intake filter. They will refuse to provide a loaner car even if you tell them you're very concerned about your pregnant wife inhaling these exhaust fumes too. They will not provide you a loaner car after they agree with you that the REAR door is not sealing properly. Currently freezing wet and salty air are entering the car as I write this review. Oregans Toyota Dartmouth has offered zero apologies. Toyota Dartmouth is only interested in your money. They do not care about your safety, health, or your vehicles health. They will face the consequences for ignoring my health concerns. They will be 100% responsible for any salt and moisture found past that hybrid battery air intake filter. This could cause my battery to fail at any time. The dealer will not disclose that they did anything to address the exhaust fume issue after spending a whole day of "diagnosing" the exhaust fume issue. They spent 3 hours with my car on idle, heat on full blast with ac and be excited to tell you that they didnt find any moisture afterwards. When you ask the manager how does this identify the exhaust fumes entering the car ? They will become pissy and rage at you for calling out that they wasted the whole day of diagnosis on something that wouldnt fix the problem. This is after telling them that their corolla hybrid (brand new) had much less wind noise then mine (same car mine just had more km). I told them this at 9am the same day of that service and they dont begin service till 930am. The manager said "you only told us that 6 hours ago". Yeah and you wasted all 6 of those hours on something you knew wouldnt solve the problem. So even after giving them the proper identification that its a wind intrusion problem, they will continue to waste time focusing on diagnosis they know will lead to nothing. Good sales team. Worst auto service in all of canada. My whole family drives Toyota. I love the car. I cannot feel safe driving the car and am reminded of the awful service every time I inhale exhaust fumes. Making me miss my 2014 Honda accord. That car had zero warranty problems for me. The added stress of having to deal with this dealership's service has made me lose all trust in this dealership. I have lost trust in the vehicle itself now that it has been poisoned by this awful service team. I am worried my hybrid battery will be damaged. I am worried I could pass out behind the wheel when I get smoked out with exhaust. If you want your car treated right. This is the last place I would take it for auto service.
