Last U.S. gas stop before Canada! If you're heading toward…read morethe Canadian border, this is your final chance to fuel up before the long wait at customs--and honestly, it's a solid pit stop. Gas here is noticeably cheaper than the Chevron or Shell across the street, and I've never had any issues filling up here (and I've stopped by many times!). Quick, easy, and efficient--just how I like it before a border crossing. The inside is simple, clean, and has all the basics--think drinks, snacks, and even some last-minute camping supplies if you're heading into the wilderness. Nothing fancy, but totally functional. Fill up here and avoid the last-minute scramble (or overpriced gas) right across the border!

We were anchored in Montague Harbour with an engine that wouldn't start. After reading numerous…read morereviews online, I'm so glad we called Eagle Eye Marine for help! Nick offered to come right out to help, but we said we were fine for the evening. He and Celine came over early the next morning and he spent a while trying lots of things to get us going by our own power. We have a 30 year old boat with a labyrinthine electrical layout and he helped us understand some of our systems better. When he finally confirmed the problem was the starter he made arrangements with a marina in Sidney to tow us to and also called in a favor with a reputable, but busy, company to have someone come out the next day to replace the starter-- which they did! While Nick and Celine were helping us, they also assisted two other boats. After confirming we were safe, but before the actual tow, they needed to assist the coastguard with a boat that hit a rock and was sinking. Nick dove on the damaged boat and plugged the hole-- then helped them safely get to a marina. The other boat they assisted was mid-tow for us and the family broke down on the water nearby. They flagged down Eagle Eye, Nick got aboard and fixed their boat-- all while Celine continued to expertly tow our 40' sailboat! They then got us safely tied up in a slip in Sidney. So whatever your boat problems are on the water-- we can vouch for their skills and abilities! Plus, they are super nice people and make otherwise stressful situations much easier. We highly recommend Nick and Celine at Eagle Eye Marine!

Not exactly how we planned to start our trip! We managed to get the tires off and buy a new rotor, but we couldn't get the bolts off to replace it. We called ShortStop, explained our situation, and they told us to bring the part in. They had us taken care of and back out the door within 15 minutes--and wouldn't take anything in return. I honestly can't say enough about how much we appreciated their help. When you're away from home, trying to get somewhere and something goes wrong, having complete strangers go out of their way to help you means more than they probably realize. Just an amazing group of guys and genuinely good people. They helped get us back on the road and on our way, and we are incredibly grateful. We would 100% recommend ShortStop. Thank you again--you turned a stressful start to our trip into a reminder that there are still some really great people out there.

This shop is actually not on Palm, but at the back of a building that faces palm. The entrance faces the side alley. The shop looks fairly cluttered both in the shop area and office, but to me that really just means they work on that many cars. There was a lineup the entire time I was there. They have 2 hoists, though 1 was out of commission the day I was there. The office has a waiting area, but there is really not much there other than a vending machine. Thank goodness for smartphones. Victoria (the owner) was very familiar with the problem with my car, and mentioned all the various problems known for that model. These are problems that are plastered all over the various car forums out there but aren't officially recognized by the manufacturer. The fact that I didn't have to argue with her (unlike the dealership) made me feel much more comfortable trusting my ride with her. My timing chain was properly inspected, and she even let me into the shop area to take some photos of the various engine parts for my own records. Special mention here, as I truly appreciate a shop that doesn't treat their customers like idiots. I also requested that my alternator pulley be replaced. This job isn't difficult on paper, but requires a custom tool, and an insane amount of torque. The pulley on my car was so seized that they broke their tool, so I basically had to get this done elsewhere. They also changed out my serpentine belt (which had to come off for this job anyways) and charged me 0.7h. Not the best because the belt had to come off again for that pulley at a later date, but reasonable. Overall I was happy as my objective for the appointment was achieved, but there were 2 things where they can improve on. 1) The appointment literally took the entire day (8h) instead of the 1-2h I was expecting, because of that broken hoist. Thank goodness I had the day off and decided to stick around the area. If I had known this, I would've simply rebooked for a different day to make it easier for everyone. 2) When the tech replaced the valve cover, she routed the vacuum hoses incorrectly. I was wondering why my engine cover would no longer sit flush and was now getting squished by the hood. Fortunately I had a photo from before, so I was able to fix this when I got home. However, I feel the shop has a responsibility to put things back together properly. With that said, I do feel that the shop does try to do good honest work. I will be back for more mechanical servicing in the future.
