Took my Mazda 3 in yesterday to have it looked at and it needed extensive work on the rear brakes. I was taken back into the shop (which is very clean!) and shown exactly what was wrong with my car.

Was able to use a vehicle to run an errand and came back to my freshly washed and repaired car. Max was wonderful!

OC Automotive was recommended to me, and I went for a routine oil and seasonal tire change, and was very pleased with the quality and honesty of the service. They detected imminent problems with my rear brakes, and showed me the worn pads. They made the necessary repairs with dispatch. The service was friendly and communications were superb throughout the process, and the final price was very reasonable. I am glad I went neither to the dealership nor to Canadian Tire. I thoroughly recommend OC Automotive for your maintenance and repair needs.

Primarily not including an oil filter ($7) with an oil change package and additionally tacking on another $5 for shop supplies. Their quoted (by phone) package was incorrect, low by $5.

Jim (the previous manager or owner) knew what customer service was and appreciated customer loyalty. Things have drastically changed! Just today I called looking to get on a hoist for an urgent but quick repair to refasten the heat shield to the underside of my car. The front half had fallen down and is acting like a plough and is about catch and completely rip off. Something that really couldn't wait, right?! I figured they could slip me in for the 5 minutes it would take to run a couple of screws in while I I waited. NOPE!! I called and spoke to a woman and told her the issue and that basically the car is not drivable without almost certain further immediate damage. When I suggested they might slip me in for this quick repair, she just about laughed. She went on to tell me that 10 DAYS from now is the first time they could possibly look at it and that they had 50 cars waiting. Huh? Not; " We happen to be super busy today but I'll see what I can do, OR try back later this afternoon OR I'll put you on a list for cancellations. Nothing. No effort to help. What's the point of being loyal to a garage when the one time I need something small done quickly they don't even try to help me? WTF I was extremely disappointed after all these years. I guess I'll have to go somewhere else. It appears their days of customer service are done and trying to jam through as many cars as possible is what's important. : (

On May 15, 2023, this repair shop, OK Tire at Lady Hammonds Rd., replaced a converter, charged me…read more$1,304.10 just for the part, plus costs for labors and supplies. With the invoice showing the code of the part, I was able to check by Googling the market price of the part - only to realize that the part is selling for $659.97 by Parts Avatar, delivered for free across Canada. So, the repair shop got an exorbitant 97% margin on the part! This is repair services where you make living largely on labor and expertise, not on parts you just order and pass their costs to customers, especially given the part's great availability in the whole country. Being in the business, the shop certainly can get an even lower price from its regular suppliers. The shop could have suggested to me to get the part delivered at a much lower cost to their shop to get installed; instead, they FOOLED a customer by HIDING such a possibility just to make UNJUSTIFIABLE money of $636 ! That is total lack of transparency, honesty, and customer care in best, and deceptive business practice in worst.

When I moved to Halifax 3 years ago, I asked around for a good mechanic. My landlord had recommended a place in Bayer's Lake that was out of the way and very expensive. The day I got the car back, I noticed that they had accidentally disconnected a wire that was necessary for the air conditioning to work. When I called back, they were rude and visibly annoyed, so obviously I wouldn't be going back to them anytime soon....!! Enter...Duffus Auto. After several recommendations by 2 friends and 3 different Cab Drivers around the city, I decided to take my car to Duffus Auto on the corner of Duffus and Agricola Streets. While the outside is shabby as heck and often looks like it was caught in a sandstorm (nevermind the inside, which is literred in faded car posters + gas adverts from the 70s), the service is no-nonsense and prompt. Duffus Auto reminds me of that greasy spoon of a diner that is in everybody's back pocket. "Serves the best pancakes south of the river!" But instead of pancakes, of course, Duffus Auto serves up reliable fixes at decent prices. The owner is fast and tells-it-like-it-is. Best part is that he puts pride in his work and has told me several times to bring it back if I find something wrong with the repair - he'll look at it for free. I must say, 3 years later, I still go to him every time there's a problem.

I then checked the cabin air filter and it was also filthy. My coolant was low, but that may have just happened, but am guessing that this wasn't checked, either. I wonder if I've paid hundreds/thousands over the past few years and absolutely nothing was checked. I just have no faith now in this company. I did email the company and they mentioned to contact the manager, but that's why I had emailed, and how am I supposed to contact the manager?

They're really straight-forward, down-to-Earth and don't try to upsell you. They'll let you know if there are parts that can wait to be replaced or if they need to be done right away. Once my car had a sporadic strange noise and when they couldn't find an issue on my first visit, they told me to drop in any time it was doing it without making an appointment. (They've since figured it out and fixed it.) They offer taxi chits if you need to drop your car off and go somewhere and come back. I am a repeat customer because of their customer service and recommend them regularly. The only drawback at this location is that sometimes parking can be hard to find. When that happens, I usually just pull up in front of the window and pop in to ask where they want me to leave the car. It also helps that they have a 10% CAA discount!
