In September of 2015 my Jeep wouldn't start....big surprise!…read more Anyway, I had myself convinced it was the alternator. Boosted the Jeep and limped into VL Motors. Left it for the day, expecting "the phone call" - "hello Mr. Gudmundson, sorry but you need a new alternator. That'll be about $600...", etc. Nope. Battery. Now that's an easy call for many, but not me, so I was pleased that my friends at VL were forthcoming and straight-up. Then had a flat AND because Jeeps are such "high-quality" the brain-trust that designed them used valve-stems that corrode; and, of course they've all corroded. On the spare, it corroded to the extent that I couldn't even get air in the tire anymore. Regardless, the folks at VL fixed it up - on time, and without drama. The only reason I don't give them five-stars is that they're not free.... :) BTW. It is a "garage", as in old-school garage-garage. No fancy scented waiting area with ferns and K-cups of Starbuck's as part of "our service experience!"...Nope. We're talking grease, oil, and the smell of gas.....love it!

They were so fair with the price and went out of their way to find me the best parts. My vehicle actually felt 10x more smoother than before I took it in.

They updated me every step of the way ! this is forever the place I will go to get my car fixed, I feel like I can trust them and if I call I do not feel like I'm bothering them they were so happy to answer all my questions. Oh! Last but not least can't forget the dog Cash he is the best member of the team and Loves Treats. :) thank you dave and the crew for your amazing professional service !

Ten years ago I took my minivan to True-Way to have the muffler replaced and received great service…read moreand a very fair price from Andy. The minivan's muffler unit broke last week and I took the minivan to True-way on Monday morning. Joel and the receptionist were very friendly and Joel checked his records and found that my aftermarket muffler unit was on a lifetime warrantee so I only had to pay for gaskets and a fluid leak as I requested and found that a dealership very reasonable labour fee. Joel save me about $300 for which I am very grateful. Joel also checked a fliud leak and found that a dealership had misdiagnosed the problem. Listening to that dealership would have cost me over $1000 in unnecessary repairs. The minivan was ready with a new muffler by noon! Such professional and courteous service explains why they have been in business so many years. I highly recommend True-way for all kinds of repairs but note that they do not do tires. Robert L.

Service charge of $140.66 for MPI safety inspection made. No inspection performed. Contacted Andrew…read morelast week, Oct 24/19 regarding a safety inspection for my 2001 Gmc Sierra c3 odometer 220916. He advised to have it onsite for Tuesday morning oct 29th /19. Truck was dropped off Monday night after close and keys left in dropoff. Had issue with the battery Monday night, had to jumpstart the truck, filled battery with water and let idle to charge both at home and after dropping off. Tuesday Oct 29th called in the afternoon. Truck was not ready. They were having "a bad day" and they were waiting for the hoist to clear to complete the inspection. Not in a hurry for the truck, I told Andrew a day or two would be fine. Thursday afternoon, Andrew calls, says the truck can be picked up. Inspection performed charge of $140.66. He mentions fail issues found - exhaust manifold bolts broken, front brake lines cracked, rear disk brake rotors severely corroded. Parking brake not working. No other issues/problems with the truck.. Aug 10/19 I had a pre safety inspection performed by OK tire. 1600 Regent st. Winnipeg. Odometer 220649. Parking brake failed at that time, brake lines passed, front and rear disk brakes passed, mechanical components passed, exhaust system passed. Oct 18th/19, Contact Dave @ D&S auto to bring my Sierra in for pre-safety repairs. Parking brake, windshield washers, lic plate lamps, daytime lights . Upper ball joint, front shocks, all changed. They had the truck from Oct 21 to 25th, waiting for the correct parking brake cables to come in from the US. Not in stock across Canada. 4:30 pm Oct 31st. Arrive onsite Trueway to pay for service. Truck is still in the same parking spot and parked in same direction as when dropped off. Go inside. Not advised of any starting issue with truck. Period. Was told I had 3 days to repair the vehicle before the inspection was entered for MPI to review. "Because they weren't sure if I was going to do some of the work myself". Told them the truck was never coming back. Paid for inspection and took posession of keys. Visited Dave @ D& S and arranged for new inspection of parking brake. His words "did they try it?". OK tire closed 5 pm. 7:30 pm Oct 31st. Arrive by bus to pick up truck. Battery is flat dead. Starter solenoid only click. Truck has not moved in two days. Battery jumper cables were under the rear seat where I left them. Had staff at a local business come out and jump start after trying to flag down approx 150 cars. This business is defrauding customers by charging for inspections that are not being performed. They fully expect the customer to just open their wallet and allow them to perform the repairs they deem necessary. Repairs to this truck performed before it went for inspection - Windshield washer nozzles replaced Windshield replaced Parking brack cables replaced Lic plate lights changed Daytime running lamps changed Cab corners and inner / outer rocker panes replaced Lh upper ball joint replaced Front shocks replaced Water pump replaced. If the rear brakes are severely corroded, why not at least an advisement 4 months and less than 400 kms ago?. Exhaust passed with no advisement. Brake mechanicals passed no advisements. Since the truck didn't move.. how did they test it's ability to hold the weight of the truck?. If the truck would not start, and it was in for a safety inspection, would the business not have an obligation to inform the customer?. I'd sue them in small claims, but my lawyer charges $150/hour, and it's not worth it to get the 140.66 for work they didn't do. But this is not right. This complaint will be filed in the am with the MPI vehicle safety line at 204-985-0920.

SCAM ALERT ! I wish I trusted the negative reviews. This was…read moremy first time I visited Advance Auto and definitely the last time as well. If you are new customer, make sure you are ready to be get ripped off by those clowns. Two days ago I got my truck serviced from Advance Auto and they charged me $1300 plus. On the next day my truck started making noise from engine. When I approached them, their behaviour was rude. The guy at front has no sense how to talk to the customers and started talking like that we did this, we did that but it has nothing to do with that noise. When I put my question he had no answer and he told me that he know nothing about Toyota Tacoma but offered me that he can check again but will charge me. When you know nothing about a vehicle, how can you offer service ? Does it make any sense ? I told that rude guy at reception that I was about to bring my other car for safety but not now and he told I can bring it anywhere else. In nutshell, if you are visiting them first time, beware ! go somewhere else. Do not make the mistake I made. They only care if you are ready to be get ripped off couple times. Update: Those clowns removed the skid plate to change the engine oil and broke a bolt. After changing the engine oil they never took the responsibility to fix the broken bolt and left the skid plate loose on the truck.

Outstanding Service and Trustworthy Team!…read more I've been bringing my vehicles to Jeep Doctor for the past four years, and I can confidently say I've never been disappointed. Glenn and his well-trained crew are not only knowledgeable but also genuinely care about their customers. Every interaction has been professional, friendly, and honest. I even purchased a used Jeep JK from them, and the entire experience--from test drive to paperwork--was smooth and transparent. I've always felt respected and never taken advantage of, which is rare and refreshing in the auto repair world. If you're looking for a shop that combines expertise, integrity, and great customer service, Jeep Doctor is the place to go. Highly recommended!

When I dropped off the Jeep I happened to mention another issue which we weren't sure about. They offered to investigate with no obligation.

From the first phone call, all the way through to pick-up; a five star experience. Thank you Jeep Doctor Greg & Robin Reid
