Alan goes the extra mile for every customer with a well trained crew. He is on a first name basis with many of his returning customers and always greets you with a smile. If you have other mechanical issues, he also owns the Midas shop a few kms up Kingsway that does brakes, exhaust, and other major repairs. I highly recommend this location, especially if you are a fleet owner.

I was charged $928 for a thermostat and coolant and went back four months later for a replacement…read more Richard and Allan refused to help me due to their lack of knowledge and wanted me to come back again for Danny who installed the initial service and ripped me off initially. I've never been so demeaned for being a woman. I called back for a refund after the refused to service me. Meanwhile Richard the owner sat in my car and googled codes he wasn't able to fix. The issue? My mechanic told me later that the tube they replaced in April was leaking, and that's what they refused to fix due to what I believe is incompetence. I called the following day for a refund and Allan told me to come in again and I said I didn't trust their work after coming in and waiting. Allan was extremely rude and dismissive after my long wait to an empty shop. If you aren't in an emergency, or a woman, AVOID this place. They add things to the bill without asking (my initial visit I was charged $100 for coolant I didn't want). Reported to BBB. Awful service. After a lack of info and waiting without answer, I towed my car. The new and trusted mechanic said the coolant leaked and needed a new hose. No one at Jiffy lube answered basic questions and in fact couldn't even find the leak! An appointment to fix the issue never happened. The owner, Richard, spent an entire hour sitting in my car Googling basic diagnostic codes on his personal cell phone. He did not know how to fix the issue, yet I was still charged [Insert amount if you want]. Falsely claiming we scheduled a follow-up is an attempt to cover up a complete lack of basic expertise and a rip-off. Future customers beware.

We were on our way to a medical appointment in Vancouver when the Overheating Warning Light…read moresuddenly started flashing red. Concerned, we took the 22nd Ave exit and were relieved to find OK Tire at 2196 Marine Drive in West Vancouver. I explained the situation to Mr. Quan, who, despite being fully booked, listened patiently as I mentioned we had our dog with us and needed to catch the ferry back to the Sunshine Coast that same day. Before even looking at the car, Mr. Quan took the time to wash off the leaking coolant. When I asked why, he explained that antifreeze is highly toxic to pets and other animals, and its sweet taste can attract them. I was deeply impressed by his thoughtfulness and care for the wellbeing of animals, which went beyond the immediate issue with our car. By late afternoon, Mr. Quan had managed to repair our vehicle at a very reasonable cost, allowing us to make it to our ferry on time. His professionalism, empathy, and dedication to safety were exceptional. For turning a stressful day into a positive experience and for taking care of everyone involved--both human and animal--I'd give Mr. Quan and OK Tire more than 5 stars if I could. Thank you for making our day!

Mr Lube gets a lot of flack…read more It is your responsibility to not just say "Yes" to everything they suggest. I went in for an oil change. I always get synthetic oil because I understand it's better on the engine long term and lasts longer than a regular oil change. I came with a $15 coupon which they honoured. They recommended I change the air filter for $35. At this point I stopped, THOUGHT, and realized that yes, the air in the car had been stale over the last few months, despite periodic inside/outside car washes. So yes, I agreed to the filter. They then recommended a transmission fluid change for $125. Again, I politely told the mechanic to give me a moment to think about it. I turned to Google and researched transmission fluid (when to do it? How much does it cost? etc.). I though about how my car, a manual transmission, and how it had been jerking a bit after gear changes in the past few months. I checked my service records to see when it had been done last - nearly 100,000 kms ago. I gave them the green light to change it. They then offered to replace my battery. They claimed to have tested it, showed me a little slip of paper to indicate that battery was critically low, and offered to change it for $275. I politely told them to give me a moment, Googled it, and decided I could wait - Vancouver doesn't have a harsh climate, so less of a risk of a battery failure in the immediate future, especially in summer. For $260 I got a synthetic oil change, new air filter, transmission fluid, all of my fluids topped up, coffee, a newspaper, and the mechanic vacuumed the inside of my car. All of this in 15 minutes. Mr. Lube is convenient and efficient. I have never had them screw up their service (e.g. poorly done oil change), so to me they are competent. Yes they pressure you to do more than just the oil change. Stand your ground, do some research, and then decide.

I've been using their coupon book, which gives me a free oil change with each visit when I include a service--and it's been a real lifesaver. As someone driving an 18-year-old car on a tight budget, I truly appreciate that I've never felt overcharged or taken advantage of. Quite the opposite, actually! It's like that IKEA commercial--"Start the car!"--because I always feel like I'm getting such a great deal. Thanks to Ryan, Peter and team Derosa for taking care of my car all these years.
