After being disappointed by other garages that I had tried in Halifax (e.g. being told I was going…read moreto need to replace an expensive part, but when my family's long-term mechanic in NB checked it, there wasn't anything wrong with it), I tried out Coast Tire & Auto on Young St. I've now been taking my car here for two years and they are WONDERFUL! 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!

As a woman new to the province, it was such a relief to find an auto service business where I didn't have to worry about being overcharged, or talked into repairs I did not need, as was my experience elsewhere.

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.

They wanted to save me money so they welded the holes in the catalytic converter and replaced a piece of pipe. I knew the converter was bad because I had an error read by someone else and that's what it was. $500+ dollars. A few days later, the engine light came on again. I went back to them and they did a reading, which showed I needed a CONVERTER! They wanted to charge me another 1,300....NO! You already cost me $340 in labour to NOT fix my problem. Not Happy and won't go back!

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. I've never had a mechanic do that and I truly appreciated it. They kept my car over night as they needed an additional part. Was able to use a vehicle to run an errand and came back to my freshly washed and repaired car. Max was wonderful!

I've been there for every car issue since that wasn't covered by the dealership and they've consistently been honest, helpful, quick and friendly. They took the time to explain anything I wasn't sure about and will shop around for parts if needed. Like a good hair stylist, you only need to get burned once to learn the value of a good garage. Amiright ladies?

They are sort of hidden from any main traffic off Creighton street, but they are always busy. We need to book a week in advance to make sure we can get in when we want to; which is slightly inconvenient, but they are a great garage so it comes with the territory. Here's an example of the great service. We brought our car in for a safety check last year and the car failed; we needed to get close to a $1000 in repairs. We asked Craig for a list of things that had to be done, which he gladly gave even after we told him we were going to a friend's garage to do the work, and didn't charge us for the inspection. We still go there and will still be going there for a while.
