Tip: This towing company works with Toyota Canada Roadside Assistance. If you ever get Massoud to…read moretow your vehicle, you're in good hands. Yesterday, after work, I was heading home along Denison Street in Markham. I was close to home. My car didn't sound right. I pulled into a small plaza on Hood Road and backed into a spot. I got out of my car. The rear tire on the driver's side was flat. From experience, it's best to not drive your vehicle with a flat tire. My first flat tire happened on highway 407. Driving at a higher speed with a flat tire does a ton of damage. My tire looked deflated. I sort of felt that way waiting for a tow truck, which was the only downside to this review. Yet, I will still rate it five stars because I got the best tow truck driver when help did arrive. I have Toyota roadside assistance. My experience three years ago with a shredded tire wasn't the best. Lots of improvements have been made procedurally since then. I called the phone number. You have the option to fill out an issue online or call to speak to a human. I did the latter. Giving the woman my phone number brought up my car's vehicle ID number, model, and colour. Yay! I was given an estimated time of 58 minutes for Reza, the tow truck driver from Norman Towing, to come. It was 5:38 pm. No Reza. At nearly 6 pm, Toyota Roadside Assistance texted me for status. I replied with a 3. No service vehicle. I got another text message. It said that the tow truck would be there in 48 minutes. Horrific! I immediately got a phone call from another woman from Toyota roadside assistance. I was deflated waiting another hour for hope. She let me know that she got another tow truck driver from Norman Towing to get to me in 13 minutes. So much better! Norman Towing is based in Thornhill. It's next door to Markham. I like that Toyota gives you the name of the tow truck driver. Massoud had arrived. He was a man of few words. However, when he spoke, his words were meaningful and made them count. I said hi to him. He nodded. His first words to me: Don't worry. The reassurance was nice. He took photos of my vehicle. He then skillfully moved his tow truck and then asked for my key fob. He carefully drove my car onto the ramp of his truck with a ton of care. He secured my car down. He then said that I could hop into his truck. Climbing up it was not graceful, but I made it! It was cool being high up in his truck. He skillfully made a left turn onto Hood Road, which isn't exactly a wide street for a long tow truck. He did it with a ton of precision that I appreciated. It was nice being driven to the dealership. He said that he would unload my car as I spoke to someone at Toyota. Doors to the service area were closed. I had to go to the used car entrance and got the most helpful woman. She got me the form on an envelope to fill out. My key fob went into the envelope, but I got help from the lone person left in the service area who was equally as helpful. Massoud came into the used car entrance and handed me my key fob, which was key (punny) to put into the envelope. I thanked him for his help. I made him smile. i wished him a great evening. He did the same in return. Although the first tow truck driver never showed up and I don't know the reason for his no-show status, Massoud made up for it. He is a quiet, skilled professional and is exceptional at what he does. I am grateful for his help. (297)

On top of that, I met a helpful group of guys in the waiting area who gave me some practical tips on fixing a few little things on my own and where to get the parts. Not an expected part of my visit, but this left me pretty thrilled. Clearly Scott and Corey put a lot of good karma out into the world and bring together a pretty decent community of people.

This review is specific for their service garage and not car sales…read more Their service mechanic is a hack, specialty seems to be only oil changes. Specific maintenance schedules are not followed for different makes of cars, likely because of his old fashion mentality of "if it ain't broke don't fix it". He seems to go by a one-size-fits-all system for fluids, an example is using generic coolant and transmission fluid.

Have to agree with the other reviewer. service was soo bad…read more On many occasions the mechanics did not talk to the owner and vice versa, work not completed ( if it ain't broke don't fix it mentality).

Get there and no work was even done, and to top it off a scratch on the car, yet they didn't do it! Warranty issues, etc... etc... etc... All in all there was not organization or communication or customer service. I would strongly recommend you go elsewhere. Anywhere including Canadian tire

I've been coming here for four years now, ever since my Smart started requiring emissions tests, and they've never given me any problems. They are always quick and efficient. The chairs are, admittedly, not terribly comfortable, and because my birthday is in January I'm always there at the coldest time of the year so going for a walk is just asking for frostbite. There's a husky station across the parking lot, if you want gas station coffee or a bag of chips. But you can just sit down and read a book or poke on your smartphone for a few minutes while your car is tested. I go there every year, and I've yet to have a problem.

It was Steeles Auto Garage that answered my call. I spoke to Ricky and he gave a friendly vibe over the phone. Took my car in and within half an hour of us describing the issue, he was able to tell us what was wrong. Had the car fixed within 45 minutes of the initial diagnostic. We were pleasantly surprised by the cost. So when my car had a rattling sound and fish tailed over bumps, I took my car in. Again I dealt with Ricky, got results and again was pleasantly surprised by the cost. I've decided to make them MY mechanic. They're honest, friendly, efficient and fair. I've also recommended this garage to a colleague. I highly recommend their services.

Tips: - Collect Petro-Points here…read more - The gas pump that I used was slow fuelling my car. When I'm in this part of Vaughan, I typically fuel at the Pioneer gas station diagonally across from this Petro-Canada gas station. Yesterday, I was travelling eastbound along Highway 7. It made sense to make a right turn into this gas station to fuel my car. It seemed popular that all cars with fuel caps on the left side of their vehicles were all facing the convenience store. I followed suit by pulling next to a gas pump that also had diesel fuel. During these times where gas prices are high, I am fortunate that I have accumulated enough Petro-Points to redeem them towards fuel savings cards. I inserted my Petro-Points card, followed by my five-cents-off-each-litre fuel savings card, and then paid with my credit card. The gas pump that I used was exceptionally slow fuelling my vehicle. It took a while to kick-start it, and then it was slow starting up. I spent longer than expected fuelling, to the point where the guy behind me waiting for diesel (I'm guessing) became impatient and left. At least I could fuel hands-free, so it wasn't as painful as it could have been. The garbage bin behind this gas pump was full. I luckily had to throw out a paper wrapper that I took off a paper straw, so that fit! I got my receipt after my car was done fuelling. I then headed into the convenience store to check it out. There was a guy restocking drinks in the fridge. There were boxes everywhere. I actually had to move a cardboard box to get to the Canada Dry zero-sugar strawberry lemonade drinks. Two of them were going for $5. I got a nice woman at the counter. It took a couple of tries to get my Petro-Points card to scan. I then tapped my credit card to pay for my drinks. Done! I thanked the woman and left with my drinks. I had one when I got home. I put them in an insulated bag and the drink that I consumed was still cold. I had a good experience. I may need to try a different gas pump to determine if the fuel flows faster or if slow is the norm here. (230)

I prefer visiting…read morethis one, as it's easy to get anywhere from the southwest corner of McCowan Road and 14th Avenue. I like that there are plenty of bays, which are wide. The lanes are one-directional. The idea is that traffic flows north, so you need to be facing that way when you pull up next to a pump. This station has a small convenience store. I don't normally buy anything there. I typically pay at the pump and leave. The only time when it gets extremely busy occurs when folks are using the car wash, trying to get salt off their car when it's winter. Other than that, it's easy dropping by, fuelling your car up, and leaving. Gas prices suck these days. This Petro-Canada posts regular gas prices. Regardless, this gas station suits my needs perfectly. (181)
