I gave the batons over to The Hubs as the designated car maintenance person several years back. He…read moretakes it to the dealership shops and maintains the car. A recent trip to Whistler was an eye opener: one of our tire was popped and needed to be patched, and there was a funny sound when starting the car about to drive home on Sunday. By Tuesday of the same week, The Hubs said he can barely start the car. He took public transit to work while I looked for an auto shop to take my car in for the day. Called a couple of shops and they are full for the week. I randomly searched and came across this place on Google that is tucked away in the end of a long brown building. Walter picked up the phone and was genuinely concerned about my car and whether I can start it. He asked me some great questions that should be easy to answer, but I have no clue since The Hubs handles the maintenance. Walter was very patient with someone that has minimal knowledge about their car and gave great instructions to explain how to get to the shop and what to do once there. Once I figured out how to start the car, I drove over and drop off my car with Walter at 12pm, who also asked me if there's anything else they need to check for me. Informed him of the tire problem and he said he'll make sure someone take a look and torque it as well. Walter called at 2pm and let me know the diagnosis and what is needed to be repaired. Turns out battery is end of its life and needs a new one. Also, my tires are getting bare and needed some new treads - Walter said he can find and give me a few options. By 3:30pm, Walter called back and said the car is ready. Made my way back and explained the what they have done, how much it costs and also the tire options. The price is fair. I feel assured by their level of service and knowledge. I'm very glad I stumbled upon them. Overall: Walter & team is great. I have a great service, fair prices, and I will take my car to service there again.

I used Bruno Automotive in 1994 I was satisfied with their work, I was happy to hear that Buno was able to get my car back on the road, especially since other mechanics didn't want to take on such a project. The bill was expensive, at the same time after reviewing my bill many times, & doing research. My bill was well justified, infact Bruno solved a problem without an extra charge, I guess the problem worked itself out from all the work Bruno Automotive did on my car, which was after I had my engine rebuilt in 1995 my engine lost horse power/it didn't kick in to warp speed when I floor my car going up the cut on the #1freeway heading west. I thought this power was lost forever. I would have paid anything to get my additional horse power back, now it's back without any additional costs. Yippee!! I can't say enough about Colton, Jessica, & Ted, their work exceeded my expectations, I would recommend anyone to take their vehicles to Bruno Automotive. I believe my car is now running better than it did when I 1st purchased my 1968 Chevrolet Camaro in 1987 from Dick Irwin Chev, Olds on Marine Dr North Vancouver.

The guys at Ootmar answered all my questions with a lot of patience and passion for their work - they communicated really well and eventually helped to solve a problem with a dying crankshaft sensor. They provided a courtesy car as well, which was very nice. I'll definitely recommend them and go back the next time I need any work on my car!
