It's 5:30 on Friday, so I am driving around looking for a place that is open, and everyone is closed . I see a Kal Tire and head in. The guy meets me in the parking lot before I can even get the truck stopped. I am thinking he is going to say they are closed, but I tell him the problem, and they wheel my truck right in and fix the tire. But the best part is when I go to pay, they tell me they have fixed the tire, cleaned the windshield and topped up the washer fluid, and there is no charge for any of it. And if I ever need tires they would love a chance to quote a price. Great, Great service. I will be buying my next tires from them.

Thursday they said they couldn't look, would bump it to top of priority for Friday. Friday afternoon said they'd do it by end of day or first thing Saturday. Saturday morning they said they may or may not get to it that day. called mr lube a few blocks away. they said bring it in, they'll look right away. went to kal to get car. started to put on spare. they said that's not allowed. I asked them to do it. they said no, best they could do is give air so I could get off their parking lot. I went to mr lube. they looked at it right away, found nail near sidewall (not repairable). put on spare for me, no charge. now I need new tires. won't be from Kal Tire.

I've previously had my seasonal tires changed over at this location and they were able to get me in…read morequickly when everyone else in town was booking at least 4 days out, the customer service was great. Today though, I was beyond impressed. Last night I discovered that one of my tires had gone nearly flat, the night before I was to leave to the interior, to go to my parents 40th wedding anniversary party. I contacted Paul at Fountain Tire first thing this morning, and was told to bring it in so they could have a look. They got my car in within 10 minutes of me dropping it off ( without an appointment) and discovered a hole in the interior sidewall which meant it had to be replaced instead of repaired. They popped the spare on so that I could be mobile and continue packing up all my things for my road trip while the new tire was on its way to the shop. Exactly at the time I was told the new tire would arrive, they took my keys again and got the new tire on, within 20 minutes of the tire arriving. So, without an appointment, I was able to take my car in, get a new tire, and be back on the road in under 4 hours. I was even able to make my ferry reservation and now I'll be able to make it to my parents very important celebration. Thank you all so much, I can't tell you how much I appreciate your speed and efficiency this morning! Beyond excellent customer service!!

I took it to a garage in town, and they charged me $300 to replace the gasket and studs on the front exhaust pipe. Three weeks later, I was on the Malahat Highway and all of a sudden my car sounded like the Beverly Hillbilly's car. Motorbike riders were jealous! And there was a bad smell of exhaust coming in the car. I went to Midas on Government Street and Rob had a look. It turns out that the job that was done 3 weeks earlier had come apart. Rob had to order parts and do the repair over. Now here comes the kicker: I was only charged $72! I was over the moon! This was my best garage experience ever. The quote was $102, but Rob didn't need one of the parts, so it was cheaper!! Midas on Government have a customer for life. It's so nice to be treated so well! Thanks, Rob!

Review Template ===…read more1. VERDICT/VALUE I was actually recommended SHC by another vendor in town who indicated SHC would be a better choice given their indoor facility and ability to complete exterior work of all type and SHC did not disappoint: good service, reasonable cost (for Victoria perhaps) and good output - recommended! === 2. SERVICE We were looking to spruce up our side and wanted to make sure someone with experience working on a car with PPF and chrome delete would not undo what was already in place. Enter Joe and his team thankfully and they worked their magic (see pic). For about $600, they not only gave the car the spa treatment inside and outside of the car, but also eliminated curb rash on two of our winter rims. We're looking forward to working with Joe and the team again - they were always patient and complete in describing solutions, answering our questions and look forward to perhaps wrapping a car with them soon!

BC Out of Province Vehicle Inspection - Victoria British Columbia…read more Our BC out of province vehicle inspection led me to Searles Auto Repair in Victoria. We just moved here from Alberta and I was not looking forward to the inspection in the least. When moving into Alberta I was scammed and ripped off getting it done there a couple of years back. I Googled local repair shops, landed on Searles Auto Repair and their reviews were outstanding. They booked me within 2 days and I dealt with Blake. I had a good idea in mind of what the cost should be going in and there were no surprises ... Blake called me after initial scans and preliminary check. He called again with final estimated costs and at the end of the day came in under his quoted amount. It was interesting that the first thing catching my attention was that the windows in the building were spotless. The shop and grounds were pristine. Clean shop = clean work on my truck. Read between the lines on the negative reviews ... these guys are top shelf. Trustworthy, honest and certainly not out to gouge (lol!) They could have really split hairs on my inspection and simply made me bring all required items legally up to provincial standard and pass. I had a slight irritating rattle in the front end and have taken to 2 different shops who could not find or fix it. Blake fixed it .. smooth as silk now. I would never consider going anywhere else. Prices are fair, quality of work is excellent, and above all, Searles are professional, honest and trustworthy.
