When my sons car was broken into on Boxing Day evening he needed a replacement drivers door window…read moreand trim. Unbelievably, the dealer couldn't get one for about 2 weeks so I decided to call some scrapyards. A-16 was the first I called and Nabil, the owner, told me immediately that he had the parts I needed and he would call me back when they were ready. True to his word he called within an hour and about an hour later I had the spare window, which was $75, less than the $220 the dealership quoted. A-16 are an awesome business. They have used parts, gently-used parts, reconditioned parts, refurbished parts and can get you new parts as well. I had a small crack in my rear light unit that was going to cost me around $400 through the dealership to get the part. Nabil got me a replacement after-market, new part for $115. If you have any need for parts for your car, and are ok with gently used, then please give A-16 a call. If they don't have it they can get the part for you at way less than the dealerships.

The service advisor I had was great and considerate. Even went as far as considering my young children in the van by first asking me for permission, before offering them a lollipop. Service was quick but over the 9 minutes as they advertise but that was due to the optional engine flush I got. I found pricing was very reasonable. An added plus is there is a self serve spray bay right beside so after your oil change you can wash your vehicle :)

I brought it to this Midas location in a panic as I could not afford 1300.00. They calmed me down, they treated me with respect, educated me on how the breaks work and charged me only $450.00. I saved $850.00 and learned a lot about how my car works. Paul and his workers are honest, reliable, trustworthy, and are great mechanics. If you don't understand why something needs replacing or fixing, they explain it to you in layman's terms. In the past I have always left mechanics feeling cheated or mistreated, and I have never left this Midas location feeling this way. If you are a single woman, or somebody that doesn't know much about mechanics and always feel as if you're being ripped off, I highly recommend Midas on Saint Laurent. My husband and I are moving to Manotick and we still planing on bringing our vehicles to this location despite the distance. An honest mechanic who you can trust is hard to find.

Okay, I know it's an oil changing place, but seriously, this business has got it down. "It" being…read morebasically everything. From not having to get out of your car once, to exceptional customer service, it's all there. I had to wait about 5 minutes to pull my car into the garage where I was met with the friendliest of staff who took my mileage, cleaned my windshield and asked me a couple questions. I got the basic oil change with a fluid for my engine and it came to $63, which I think is slightly hefty, but in my opinion, worth it. The show you everything they're doing every step fo the way which is nice, and they even bring the debit machine to your car which is great. They do try to up-sell a bit, but in such a nice way I can't be upset about it. The whole process took about 8 minutes. If you're pressed for time and just need to get shit done, this is the place for you. Also? The staff are pretty good looking, which helps.

First of all, let me say that "Princess Auto" is a bit of a misnomer. Besides a few light bulbs and…read moresome basic electrical parts, you can't buy many auto parts there (There are no brake parts, no starter motors, alternators or suspension parts, for example.) And "Princess"??? What's up with that? The "Princess" in the name kept me from going the store when I first moved to Ottawa from BC for at least a week. Then I got my hands on the flyer. I was in. To be completely sexist, it's totally a guy place. A tinkering, wrenching, dirty hands on , Tim the toolman kind of guy place. If you like to build stuff, this is it. Welding equipment, a pretty complete hydraulics department, compressors and complete small engines? Check. Car lifts? Metal rod? Trailer parts? Check, check and check. And tools. Lotsa of tools. The "Power Fist" (yeah, I know) brand is a budget line and some of these are iffy. Their "Pro point" line is much higher quality and matches or exceeds some of the better known name brands. I used to swear by Mastercraft and Sears hand tools, (Snap-on is for poseurs.) but no more. And then there is the surplus section. Here's where you can get HDMI cables for low, low prices. BB guns. A drone. Even some Apple Istuff accessories, but only a generation or two back from the latest. Weaknesses? Well the surplus department is just that, so I regret not buying more reading glasses when they had a pile for sale. I lost or broke a couple of pairs, but there's none left at PA. Boo hoo. More seriously, the fastener department is not great. As in nuts and bolts. They have a selection of middle to large size bolts (And nuts and washers.) but don't look for anything smaller than 1/4". I would like to see the #6-#12 sizes. The snacks in the check out line are overpriced and some might be a decade old. But the gleaming wrenches, super sales, and no hassle return policy keep me coming back for more!
