I do not recommend Spike Automotive Ltd.
In August 2024, I brought my vehicle to Spike Auto for repairs. A dispute later arose regarding the repair charges. The owner, Tony, reported the matter to the RCMP (File No. R124-28917).
I was advised by the RCMP that if I paid the repair costs in full, the complaint would be withdrawn. With RCMP assistance, the full repair amount was paid on December 12, 2024. There has been no outstanding balance since that date.
Despite full payment, Spike Automotive Ltd. has refused to discharge the repairer's lien on my vehicle and has demanded an additional $500 fee that was never agreed to or disclosed. Because the lien remains active, I have been unable to sell my vehicle.
I have tried to resolve this matter reasonably, but the lien has still not been released. I am now pursuing formal dispute resolution.
Based on my experience, I have serious concerns about their business practices and transparency
Customers should be very cautious and ensure all terms and fees are clearly documented in writing before authorizing any repairs. read more
