And the saga begins. My son was driving home from Burlington after picking up his brother from the…read morehospital. Of course, on the way back, near St. Catharines, his car had issues. Called S&W Towing. They took it to their service centre. He agreed to let them check it out, and they came back saying they could fix it. Great. He picks it up, and it's still rough driving. They say it's all good, just needs to be driven. (he knows nothing about cars and believes that they say) On the way home, it gets worse, but he makes it back to Port Colborne. This is on a Friday, Monday comes, and he calls, they arrange to have the car towed back to their shop. Wonderful, not so much. They now tell him he needs a sensor so they can determine the cause. Days go by, and a week later, he picks up the car again.. Guess what.. still not running right.. I suggest he take it to my repair shop. They check it out and it's the transmission.... So after forking out 2000 bucks to S&W, who say it's all good.. (_what the ???) he still needs to get the original issue fixed.. The moral of the Story, do not go to S&W auto repair, I have serious doubts if they know what they are doing, or if they do, they just took advantage of someone who is a good person.

5 years ago I encounterd a small automotive mechanic business as I had picked up a friend in Fort…read moreErie, Ontario, Canada and on the way back just steps from my house the radiator hose sprung a pinhole leak from the wear and tear on the old car (2007). As I was on my way up to the Northern part of Ontario I had to stop at home and diagnose the problem. I was so upset that I bought transmission fluid instead of radiator fluid as both were red in colour and I thought I'd fix the problem myself. The next day when I had realized and read the bottle I was even angrier at no one but myself for being so smart. I looked up an automotive repair shop that was within driving distance and was offering to look at my car the next day. Long story short, Dave & the dudes flushed my radiator clean of the transmission fluid and not only that the did an oil change fixed my front brakes and charged me a very reasonable cost for their time on my vehicle. This automotive mechanic shop is few and far between with their expertise & professionalism from the time you enter their door til the time you race off in your fixed vehicle. Dave's a dude and the guys working for him have the know how on most all makes and models. That's why I keep going back and would recommend Total Automotive to anyone that wants to save a dollar and have reliable experts and parts installed on any make or model. It might take a day or two to recieve your car back, but the wait is worth it. Thanks again Total Auto Repair, Cause Dave Cares. See ya soon with my (2012) new old car.

He told me I could leave it in the garage to thaw but he'd have to charge me for it. He didn't even look at my car. He didnt even say hello when I walked and and seemed put out I was even inquiring. This guy was the douchiest person I've ever encountered in a garage. Stay far away unless you want to be lied to and ripped off.

The drain plug is stripped and it is not an inexpensive fix. I suggest you go back and see if they will take care of you." Upon my return after explaining my situation, not only was the owner rude and shouting from his office desk, he refused to even look at my vehicle saying, "How do I know that I was the last shop to work on it? You have 24 hours to complain after a job..." Looks like my 25 dollar oil change is going to cost me a new 800 dollar oil pan change. I was more than a little upset when leaving. Integrity matters and I feel this guy has very little.
