About a month later I was having issues with my steering again so I took my car to Ricks Auto Service. They found the issue, called me and told me my best option would be to take my car back to Canadian tire because this issue should be covered under warranty, Ricks Auto Service didn't even charge me for the diagnosis of the problem. After this awesome experience I decided to bring my car back for other repairs I needed to have done. 5/5 stars for sure, great service and amazing staff!

There was zero proactive communication -- I had to follow up myself, only to be told there were "a few hiccups." In the meantime, I lost 6 hours of work for what ultimately amounted to NOTHING. When I raised the impact this had on my day and income, the response I received was: "We apologize. There's nothing else we can do." That response says everything. No accountability, no attempt to make it right -- just a complete disregard for a customer's time. If appointments can't be honored, don't book them. And if a business causes this level of disruption, the bare minimum should be taking responsibility and offering a solution. With new ownership in place, this experience reflects very poorly on how the business is being run. I won't be returning, and I would strongly suggest others think twice before trusting this shop with their time.

My vehicle stayed in their shop for 4 days, and after the inspection they told me that my driver-side lower control arm was broken and that the thermostat needed replacement. They charged me $3,600, but never provided any proof, photos, or explanation showing that the arm was actually broken. They also refused to give me the parts invoice, never showed the cost of the parts they used, and provided no breakdown at all. They charged me $2,200 just for labor, yet this job normally takes around 3 hours, not multiple days. When I asked for labor rate, time, or details, they didn't provide anything. The whole process felt unprofessional, unclear, and extremely overpriced. The worst part is that after I picked up my car, it had even bigger problems than before. The vehicle started having new issues immediately, and now I have to take it to another certified Mercedes mechanic to fix whatever was done to it. I honestly have no idea what they did to my car, but the quality of work seems extremely poor. I am very disappointed and strongly warn anyone with a high-end vehicle: do not trust this shop with your car. They provided no transparency, no proof, no proper documentation, overcharged for labor, and returned my car in worse condition than it arrived.

They looked over the van but didn't bother with the full inspection because it was in such poor shape that it would not pass any out of province inspection unless 8k of work was completed. They also did NOT charge be for this service! They saved me 1000's of dollars in repairs after the seller assured me the van was running great, no problems and would be good to drive across Canada. The take away here... 1.Never Buy a vehicle without having it inspected 1st. 2.Never trust the seller, people can not be trusted nowadays! :(

Updating my review…read more Still coming to Chase and his team at Gate Avenue Service - I think we've brought 4 vehicles here now over 10 years. First and most importantly, Chase and his team are honest and hard working. They are extremely busy but always make time to diagnose and give second opinions. They have saved me money and given me solid advice multiple times when dealerships were leaving me astray. Most recently Chase and his team helped me to advocate (aka fight) Hyundai to get a replacement on my engine. Chase provided me all the documentation that Hyundai required not once, but twice, and in paper and in e-mail after Hyundai "misplaced" it. Chase did both of these requests same day. Chase has seen me at my worst (in tears) completely overwhelmed with car stress (and I don't speak car) and also completely flustered trying to explain what felt off with my vehicle when I seriously was not describing it well. The team at Gate is always courteous and treat me and all the customers I have ever seen with respect. The only limitation or downside with Gate is that they are really busy - and for good reason! So you may have to wait a bit for an appointment but they will always treat you right! PS They offer a program to store your tires for you! I always buy my tires and extra rims from them and they store them for me in off seasons. PSS they are located right behind Petro Canada on St. Albert Trail

So I am comfortable in providing an honest and reliable review of this business. All of our dealings during that time have been with this company's first point of customer contact, that being Chase, the Manager. Chase has mastered the art of making clients feel welcome as soon as they enter the premises. I can easily say that Chase has provided top notch,first class customer service to us. I know my wife appreciates always being treated in a courteous and friendly manner. The quality of repair work is at a high standard and the prices are reasonable. I highly recommend bringing your vehicles to Gate Avenue Service.

She was told by Kal Tire St Albert her rear brakes had 1mm of brake pad remaining and should not drive her car until repaired. Trusting what the service manager said she left her vehicle with them and walked home. She called me later and asked me if this was normal for a vehicle with only 64000km on it and I said I will go down and talk to them. I looked at her rear brakes and could clearly see that there was more than 1mm on the rear brake pads. I walked in and said can you bring it in and pull the rear wheels off so I we can see the brake pad thickness and they so they did. I looked at the pads and said there is more like 3 or 4 mm of pad left which would mean she would still have at least 20000km of driving left before needing the brake pads replaced and the car was very safe to continue driving. The service technician measured them and there was 3.5 mm and I said nice way to treat the elderly with your up sell on brakes. They quoted her $520 for the rear service and she was scared to drive thanks to their lie. I picked up my aunt and drove her back to take her car. Upset and embarrassed over all this she will never return to Kal Tire for any service because they are dishonest and ripping off customers who trust them. It's a shame businesses like this are in business and did nothing but scare a sweet senior and waste my time and hers. Shame on you Kal Tire St Albert

What I like best is that once you buy a set of tires from them, they take care of you for life. Tire fills, flat fixes and patches... you name it. They're as quick as they can be without jeopardizing the quality. This is obviously a very busy time for them, with everyone just now realizing that they need their winter tires on. But they were able to get me in within a couple of days, and the service only took an hour once I was there.
