I was looking for a place to install a spoiler for my car. To be honest, I don't know much about…read morecars and all the technical terms. I became interested in cars after I started playing a video game called Grand Theft Auto 5. While I was modding virtual cars in the game, I started wanting to do that for a real life car! Haha. As a student on a budget, I'm not able to afford fancy cars or do expensive modding. But I could do something within my student wallet means on an older car. I decided the first thing I wanted to do was add on a spoiler. I talked to one of my car-loving friends and he recommended Garage Five Performance Tuning to me. I emailed Garage Five some inquiries, and Rob was polite and professional in his replies. I think he's the owner or manager. I bought a spoiler for my car on eBay and had it shipped from US to Canada. I was a bit nervous about this because I've never done anything like this before. I was really careful and did my due diligence in making sure it was correct for my car model and the factory paint matching the vehicle -- and I had emailed all of that to Rob. Rob was very helpful. He was transparent about pricing and on the time needed to install it. The staff at Garage Five were very professional, friendly, and did a wonderful job installing the spoiler onto the car. They found a defective problem with the spoiler lights (which would be the fault of the eBay seller). I've uploaded a photo of the car spoiler. My car isn't yellow, I changed the color for privacy reasons. Thank you, Rob and Garage Five team!

I spoke with BH and they explained the rational for not using the factory supplied trailer wiring…read moreharness. Apparently in pre-2018 Sprinters, if a brake controller is not installed, the factory installed harness's converter is not powered and thus the harness does not function. Okay, that's a plausible response and this was unknown to me before they explained. I wish I had understood this at the time as I could have opted to use a simple 7 to 5 pin converter right at the plug to the trailer at a similar or less (?) cost to having them go to the labour and effort to access the taillight wiring. I also don't quite understand why simply powering the factory trailer harness without a brake controller if a 5 or 4 pin trailer connection is installed was not considered as this would have been a simple matter under the drivers seat. Regardless, I appreciate their explaining their rational but I would have done things a bit differently had I more information. Regarding the quality of the wiring work, it was a bit sloppy, and a short single conductor was spliced to lengthen with a different colour wire hidden under electrical tape. The harness was also routed into the interior of the van by breaking off the corner of an interior plastic vent cover behind the taillight and a hole drilled through the floor rather than route the harness out the bottom of the taillight and behind the exterior trim. Again, not terrible and still functional but in my opinion, there was a better way to do this. Finally, the factory harness was dangling under the the van and did not have a blanking plug or any protection to keep water, salt, muck out of the plug's terminals. Maybe this is how Mercedes delivers the van but it necessitated cutting off the plug to access the bare wires directly if the plug is not utilized soon after delivery. I will add a star for BH reaching out to explain and I hope that my response assists with their review. Addendum: BH is correct, I'm doing the wiring for the new 7 pin hitch myself. I figure as a marine electrician with over 35 years in the industry and owning my own marine electrical business repairing and designing electrical systems for million dollar yachts and others I both recognize quality workmanship and have no issue tackling this little project. It does however make me a bit more critical than other people of such things and my standards for workmanship may eclipse others. I'm sure BH is a good company and clearly has demonstrated their willingness to communicate. Yes, the plug was functional until it failed a few years back and I replaced it with another 5 pin style. It's only now that I have a trailer with electric brakes that I looked at the original work to make the necessary plug style changes. If I could offer 5 stars for communication alone I'd do that and I would recommend them as they are certainly willing to listen and I suspect, had the discussion at the time been in more depth, I would have been clearer in my expectations and direction. So as a result, both BH and I are a little wiser.

Consider this scenario: Imagine you took your car to a repair shop, paid $337 for changing the…read moreplugs, only to have your car break down again just four days later. How frustrating does that sound? They will charge you, not fix the problem so that you come back and later will say sorry to compensate the frustration. Here's what happened: On January 19th, my car was stalling, so I went to Vancouver Auto Centre (VAC) and got charged $175 for diagnosis fees (excluding change of plugs). I didn't question it, considering it an emergency fee due to the short notice. Between January 19th and February 13th, I only drove the car for four days, fearing more expenses, and started using an electric bike instead. On February 13th, the car stopped, requiring a boost from BCAA. Then, on February 15th, the car started stalling again, and I took it to All Care Auto, recommended by a friend, who changed the alternator and battery for $867. As it turned out, an alternator problem caused more issues than initially apparent. VAC charged a hefty $175 for diagnosis, excluding labour hours, which should have identified the alternator issue, potentially saving my $600, excluding three hours of my time. Such a diagnosis is usually applied when standard procedures fail to pinpoint the problem. I've learned the hard way about garage practices. I discussed it with VAC, but they said they would not charge me the diagnostic fees again if I went back!! how funny!! They would charge me more than All Care auto did and might not fix the problem in the second place. Given the nature of my job, finding a reliable mechanic around downtown Vancouver for immediate assistance seems challenging. While I can't vouch for All Care Auto beyond this one experience, as I have used them only once, they have a good online reputation.

I was asked to wait for a Catherine to arrive for about one hour (she is said to have been a former police constable). She perfectly ignored me like I didn't exist. She then quickly took about a dozen photographs from all over the vehicle (including the sunscreen on top which was virtually irrelevant). Then she asked for the Owners Certificate and took photocopies of that too. At the end, when I asked for the assessment I initially wanted, she said they wouldn't disclose their assessment to customer. At this time, their other employee (Ehsan, of Iranian background) gave me a swear word (without provocation) and asked me to leave.
