If I could give lower than 1 star I would. I went in for an MVI yesterday ( 10 Oct ) and to also get a lower control arm on my drivers side installed , I knew it would be a pricy bill because of having the part installed due to time and labour involved ( I am a industrial mechanic but due to time restraints and lack of space I can't work on it myself ). So the pet was no issue for the instalment but when it came to the MVI that was a different story. They kept claiming there was an issue with a non existent bearing finally I had enough and left work early to pick up my car and when I got there they had the balls to tack on a $55 pre MVI charge when they didn't even do an inspection. Who ever is running that gong show over there is lucky I have more restraint eitherwise that smug face of his would have been turned into a basketball off that counter in 30 seconds. Avoid this place , save your money and go elsewher. read more

I work every day and had issues getting an MVI appointment. Speedy auto in Sackville Drive fit me in no problem, but was aware of a missing brake light, small rust spot and recent muffler repair one month prior. My appointment was at 1pm and they didn't bring my car in until 2:20pm. By 2:40pm they failed my MVI due to the issues they were aware of, requested payment and took the form filled out with feedback stating "you won't understand it anyways and it will be on your receipt". The owner made a comment I had a nice credit card (it's literally a basic credit card??). They didn't provide me with a reject sticker. I guess I should have just waited and gone to my regular mechanic (or called in sick to get a appointment earlier). I am a young woman and totally feel ashamed I let them take me for a ride. I cannot recommend anyone to go here, especially if you present as feminine. Beware! read more

Speedy - Auto Repair Near Me - Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia

Horrible shop. I went in for a balance and tire install (winters on Steelies, not a hard job). Being a woman, I usually send my car in with my husband as far too many shops have a bad habit of soaking women for repairs. Had to leave my car all day, OK fine. I get a call that I need a $400 brake job. Well that's funny cause my brakes were fine before I dropped the car in. He proceeds to condescendingly tell me that with new brakes (Disk not drum) that's I'd never notice a problem till I couldn't stop anymore. Which is funny, because I've had lots of cars with disc brakes and youi KNOW when these are going. So I come to get my car and pay up, they bring it to the door and hand me my keys. I hop in and THE CAR WON'T TURN OVER. I jumped right back out and right back into the shop and demand to know why my car is now dead. The tech comes running and says "let me check your battery cables" Now I had ZERO issues with my car before I went in and now my car is DEAD?! And why would there be an issue with the cables? They weren't supposed to be under my hood. They ended up having to jump the car in the driveway. I was advised to drive the car on the highway to charge the battery. I did this and as I was trying to exit the highway, my car felt like it was going to shake apart. I finally get my car back into the driveway and as I'm getting out I hear a metallic "tink" noise. I immediately did a visual inspection of my car and come to find out that the balance weight CAME OFF THE CAR. I'm done so I call the shop the following Monday (Today) to resolve this issue and I get NOTHING but attitude. I had to FIGHT to get my money back. STAY AWAY FROM THESE CROOKS!!!! read more

Had an appointment for a vehicle inspection. My truck required small repairs which I completed myself the same day. I called to make an appointment for the next day to have the repairs checked and the inspection completed. The completion would be a very quick appointment. 1:00 PM was agreed on. I arrived at 5 to one. I was told it would be a long wait as the mechanic was leaving for lunch. I asked why they would book me for that time then. The response was that heven would only be 15 minutes. I went for a 45 minute walk and came back assuring myself that it must be done by now, but it was not.They only required checking my installation. 5 minutes at the most. When I asked at 1:45 when I came back if my truck was done, I was told they got busy and it was not done. They operate by appointment. Got busy??? I asked in front of other customers why they made me a 1pm appointment. I asked if I could make a different appointment that they might be able to keep.All of a sudden they decided they could do me now. It took a minute. I believe that I was being punished for doing the work myself, as I could not afford to pay them.This to me is as inconsiderate aND ignorant as it can get. If you want to feel punished, this is a great place for you. read more

So for the folks around town like myself about 4 years back who do not know a great deal about cars well that is what we trust the shops for right nhhaaaaa wrong! So after getting screwed once myself and watching family get screwed as well I decided to go out learn the ropes the minimum without having to throw in the towel on my current job and go turn myself into an auto mechanic tradesman. So here is my story on my current car issue + other rants on this subject you may find interesting. I have started hearing like back in the summer a loud noise while applying my foot to the gas pedal. It sounds kind of cool like I am driving a motor bike but my wife does not think so and she told me months ago to get the piece of shi% fixed. So I waited until it was minus 22 outside started up the suv and looked under and to my not surprise the exhaust has a leak. I snapped a picture with my phone and it is clear in the picture where the leak is located right on the flange so I have been shopping my picture around to see what the auto industry repair places think about it. So in case you have not experienced this issue yet for yourself listen close. Never ever take your car to the dealer for exhaust issues because they will always tell you to replace the whole system unless you got lucky that day and the mechanic asks to speak to you so he can tell you to go down the road. Replacing the whole system over a hole in the flange is like saying your toe needs to get cut off because of infection but lets just cut the whole foot off just because? So anyway back to my issue I needs a flange kit and a muffler guy to do some cutting and some welding. I do not need a new catalytic converter mine has only 78,000 km on it as does my suv. These guys at speedy offered me the same advice the dealership would and you can research that on your own as I did on the internet + I already experienced once before the you need a whole new system over a cut in my pipe made by a theft who was trying to steal my converter as it like all converters have a small amount of platinum inside so they will cut the whole converter right off your suv then go home and smash your converter open just to make a couple bucks from the pawn shop. Crack heads. OK then so back to the review. I was offered that crappy replace everything advice for 385.00 + tax which is cheap for a new converter must be aftermarket crap to replace my factory spc hardly worn part like was done with my break rotors a few years back at another shop. These shops milk and milk unsuspecting customers so hard and nobody even suspects anything. They do unneeded work period. On my way out the door then he offers to take a look to see if it could use a patch or something well why not tell me that as an option when I walked in the door. He was only offering that because I did not eat on the whole system overhaul pitch. I am sure if I said yeah lets have a look he would have come back to the converter replacement pitch again. I heard it all before. It is a flange replacement kit and labor that is needed. If they wanted to help me they would have told me that in the first place and then offered me to do the work for about 140 bucks but instead they push higher priced unneeded work because that is where the money is for them and in return I get cheap parts that I did not even need in the first place. Real honest. read more
