According to Google a very common problem on lots of Escapes and Tributes. Andy diagnosed as a defective throttle valve and called the local Ford and Mazda dealers for a price which was $232, Yikes. He said he would make some more calls to see if he could source it cheaper. He found one at $60 and installed it in just one hour after bleeding and recharging refrigerant. Saved me nearly $200 with taxes, probably more as he included diagnostic check in the hour of labour. I'm taking my Ford Escape back to Trout Lake Auto for sure.

Beware of the this shop. I wanted to buy a new volvo and decided to have the local shop purchase…read moreit for me and to quote the owner Terry--"we will take care of you." To be fair he gave me a loaner car (2004 volvo with 350,000kms) and we waited weeks and then months for the delivery. He said Volvo didn't care about its customers. I contacted volvo on their Volvo Canada site and got a response saying the order would be delayed for another couple months. We had now waited 5 months on the delivery. I asked that the deal be ended and the owner Terry Parolin said he wanted his car back with a $900 monthly lease of the loaner. He signed the car over to me so that I could insure it. Yes, ownership and all with nothing in writing. After some inquiries by his Jayme we found one in Waterloo. Then I found out they didn't buy the car, I did. The invoice was made out to me. If I had known at the onset I could have gone anywhere to buy this car. He made it sound like he was a Volvo specialty shop when in fact he was really just a garage. A couple of months of ownership and i have a minor problem. He can't help--he is not a dealer. He gladly sold me winter tires. I discussed this dealer with local people and I could not fine one person who thought this dealer was great. One person bought a used car that was in a major accident and bought it believing the dealer it was a low mileage used car. Others complained over billing and an indifferent attitude. The clincher for me came when he wouldn't even acknowledge me in another setting. This place is to be avoided at all costs. When the owner pisses you off the entire staff are all his relatives and they make you feel really unwelcomed. Take your Volvo to anywhere else. I now drive to Newmarket and when I walk in I feel like I am welcomed. PS: I am man of my word and he got his loaner back when legally it was mine. Oh and never paid the $ 900 lease for a 13 year old car.

It's just a small little shop but it seems to be able to get parts from many different sources. The owner Glenn is a great guy, friendly and knowledgeable.

Surprisingly the prices are pretty competitive and often cost less than having something shipped from the US (after shipping an duty). If you are a car guy of any sort, check out this shop when you are in town.
