I've been going to this place for years and have read so many bad reviews, but until now I have…read morebeen lucky in that I had positive experiences. Well, that was then... Today, I phoned them up to see if they had a car that I needed parts from . They informed me that they had one single car, which was the exact model/trim I was looking for. I drove an hour to get there and upon arrival, confirmed again with the guy behind the counter that the car was there before I payed their yard access fee. He told me it was indeed there and then told me the location in the yard where I could find it. I payed the fee, entered the yard, and proceeded to walk around for twenty minutes looking for the car, without success. I also stepped in a large puddle and soaked my foot right through. I returned to the counter and asked the guy again to confirm where in the lot the car was located. Yes, I was looking in the correct area. Then, another guy who overheard the conversation said that they had "pulled" the car, which meant that it was already gone. The first guy just shrugged his shoulders and ignored me from that point onwards. I was not offered a refund of my yard fee. I spent the drive home stuck in stop-and-go rush hour traffic, cursing that place and its employees and thinking of my soaking wet foot. An entire afternoon was wasted thanks to these morons, in addition to the yard fee, not getting the parts i needed, and gas money there and back.

Its an auto wrecker & it could be dangerous but its also an afternoon of adventure & bargain hunting especially on their half price weekends that they sometimes advertise on the radio. Im not a mechanic so I m not going to yank an engine or transmission to put in my vehicle but more innate parts like body parts seats tires I can tell its quality & I could save some money by purchasing it here over the dealer or after market supplier. I took one star off for them charging a buck per person even for my wife who doesnt do anything but ask me questions & bring me a wheel barrow for me to haul my finds. Its much more neatly organized & the ground has gravel & not mud. And like the old days I show them my tool bag even though I dont have to just out of habit when I use to come to all the wreckers on scott road.

When Home Depot, Canadian Tire, and Rona doesn't make the cut…read more You come here. I had plumbing issues. The nut surrounding a faucet cartridge was too big for any of my wrenches and sockets. Online searches for a larger socket/wrench lead me to sets of sockets and wrenches in the hundreds of $$'s. I didn't need that. All I needed was one size, since I have the ratchet. Princess Auto popped up on my search. Lo and behold, they sell the individual sockets from ~$10 - $15 each! Exactly what I was looking for! A far cry from the 100's of $$'s. Problem solved. I also had to get a driver adapter for the 1/4 in to 1/2 in size for the socket. I ended up getting 5 sockets in total, because I didn't know the size of that nut. I did this over two visits. Returns and exchanges were a breeze. No questions asked. I only needed the one socket an they happily delivered for my needs. It's out of the way for me, but it meant that I didn't have to buy an entire set of tools that would end up sitting around. In search of an odd tool? Recommend you do a search here. They just might have it.

Wow nothing has changed since last time I was here which was like at least 7 years ago. Princess Auto can be compared to Harbour Tools in the USA. Their prices are at the low end but there is a reason for that. You are sacrificing quality too for the price you pay. Overall, it is not bad. There are plenty of parking here.
