    It may look small in this picture, but compared to the other two shops in the same building.. it ain't!
    Simon K.

    Talk about waiting for the last minute, or more like I didn't have time till Saturday and a family members car needed some brand new front brakes as it was giving that grinding metal noise. Well now it was lunch time on the Saturday and it was raining hard on this gloomy day.. and nobody likes to go find a place to go fix their car..... and even when you go to places to go fix your car, it's never fun, kinda like going to the doctor or dentist.... but for your car.. your just their for the nasty ride. So when I found this place and it was nearby my uncle's place.. and the Yelp app showed it to be open I gave it a shot, knowing that it was a glaring full five fire alarm stars, let's see what this place was about. When I pulled up, it's a place that is located in a building that has two other auto repair shops.... the only thing, this one was busy, the other two.... not so much. I didn't know where the office was, but once stepping through the garage doors there was hip-hop blaring out of the speakers, and it wasn't just background music, it was music, every verse, lyric, everything, even the @#$# bombs coming straight out, it was a fun type atmosphere for the techs that are working here, and for someone like me... it kinda gets you relaxed. I got to the back office and met with the man that was running the show. He asked what I needed, and I asked him.. seriously.. do you have time, he said to leave the keys.. and they will find a slot to fix my brakes. So I left the golden chariot to his boys to look at while I ended up doing other things instead of just waiting at the shop. Vimal eventually rang me up, told me the problem, and before they even worked on the car, gave me options. He was very clear as to what the price of things were and told me everything, breaking (braking) it down.... he also gave me an ETA when I would get the beast back. In a business that's so hard to please the client and usually when you come to these places it's not due to your own free will, the people here are great, the prices are fair, the service and attitude is excellent... thrown in a hip-hop vibe I don't know really what else to say... but the fact that now I know a place where I can go to, and tell others as well. I do know other places, and I decided to give this one a try, and if you are around this neighborhood give Vimal a call, let him and his boys look at your ride and see why these guys.. in his words.. are never busy! Thanks again.. will be back.. probably for an oil change!

    I was charged $928 for a thermostat and coolant and went back four months later for a replacement…read more Richard and Allan refused to help me due to their lack of knowledge and wanted me to come back again for Danny who installed the initial service and ripped me off initially. I've never been so demeaned for being a woman. I called back for a refund after the refused to service me. Meanwhile Richard the owner sat in my car and googled codes he wasn't able to fix. The issue? My mechanic told me later that the tube they replaced in April was leaking, and that's what they refused to fix due to what I believe is incompetence. I called the following day for a refund and Allan told me to come in again and I said I didn't trust their work after coming in and waiting. Allan was extremely rude and dismissive after my long wait to an empty shop. If you aren't in an emergency, or a woman, AVOID this place. They add things to the bill without asking (my initial visit I was charged $100 for coolant I didn't want). Reported to BBB. Awful service. After a lack of info and waiting without answer, I towed my car. The new and trusted mechanic said the coolant leaked and needed a new hose. No one at Jiffy lube answered basic questions and in fact couldn't even find the leak! An appointment to fix the issue never happened. The owner, Richard, spent an entire hour sitting in my car Googling basic diagnostic codes on his personal cell phone. He did not know how to fix the issue, yet I was still charged [Insert amount if you want]. Falsely claiming we scheduled a follow-up is an attempt to cover up a complete lack of basic expertise and a rip-off. Future customers beware.

    I have been using this business for general vehicle maintenance, oil changes, tires, and many other…read moreitems for over 30 years. The current owner, Alan, is the son of the original owner. Alan goes the extra mile for every customer with a well trained crew. He is on a first name basis with many of his returning customers and always greets you with a smile. If you have other mechanical issues, he also owns the Midas shop a few kms up Kingsway that does brakes, exhaust, and other major repairs. I highly recommend this location, especially if you are a fleet owner.

    Mr Lube - Oil is perfectly clean and didn't require changing. These metal parts are not metal. They intentionally threw dirt in the second sample.

    Mr Lube gets a lot of flack…read more It is your responsibility to not just say "Yes" to everything they suggest. I went in for an oil change. I always get synthetic oil because I understand it's better on the engine long term and lasts longer than a regular oil change. I came with a $15 coupon which they honoured. They recommended I change the air filter for $35. At this point I stopped, THOUGHT, and realized that yes, the air in the car had been stale over the last few months, despite periodic inside/outside car washes. So yes, I agreed to the filter. They then recommended a transmission fluid change for $125. Again, I politely told the mechanic to give me a moment to think about it. I turned to Google and researched transmission fluid (when to do it? How much does it cost? etc.). I though about how my car, a manual transmission, and how it had been jerking a bit after gear changes in the past few months. I checked my service records to see when it had been done last - nearly 100,000 kms ago. I gave them the green light to change it. They then offered to replace my battery. They claimed to have tested it, showed me a little slip of paper to indicate that battery was critically low, and offered to change it for $275. I politely told them to give me a moment, Googled it, and decided I could wait - Vancouver doesn't have a harsh climate, so less of a risk of a battery failure in the immediate future, especially in summer. For $260 I got a synthetic oil change, new air filter, transmission fluid, all of my fluids topped up, coffee, a newspaper, and the mechanic vacuumed the inside of my car. All of this in 15 minutes. Mr. Lube is convenient and efficient. I have never had them screw up their service (e.g. poorly done oil change), so to me they are competent. Yes they pressure you to do more than just the oil change. Stand your ground, do some research, and then decide.

    Scam shop, please watch out and avoid at all costs…read more Hard selling services that are just not required, in my case a rear differential oil change after 11km on a one year old sealed unit that manufacturer says does not need changing or 10 years. Would not take no for an answer. So instead charged $75 for oil flush and oil conditioner that were never added and refused to print the invoice so I would not see it. Emailed it for my discovery later. $400 oil change and regret every penny. Zero confidence the job was done properly. How a national chain can support and allow this behavior, shame on Mr Lube.

    Overall, I have had very positive experiences at most Kaltire stores. I especially like the car…read moreservice technicians and managers at this specific location because they are like Apple geniuses of KalTire. I appreciate their good customer service oriented attitudes and expert knowledge on tires. Also, I appreciate their honest suggestions and professionalism. Jaime, the senior assistant manager is very knowledgeable and he was very helpful both in person and over the phone. Mike, the technician, was nice and thorough re: checking my tires and brake parts. Bobby is conscientious in keeping me updated with car service info. Free coffee, tea and WiFi available in the waiting area. They seem well stocked in tires inventory and it's helpful that Kaltire labels their display tires with their own independent tire testing results, making it easy for a novice like me to shop for tires. Value - Tho I haven't done price comparison on their tire services with other places, they offer good value for me by having so many locations where you can trace your car service details and tire replacement info in their computer system at any KalTire store. Thus, I would return for convenience in tracking tire replacement and service history details.

    I've been going to Kaltire for a while now however at a different location as I moved to Burnaby…read more Was hoping for the same kind of service but this new location wasn't up to par with the other location. I came to switch tires and do alignment service to make sure everything is good when I leave. It took them almost 4 hours because they were overbooked and there was a long queue for the alignment machine. They changed the tires in an hour or so but 3 hrs for the alignment machine is ridiculous. They have the shop music blasting so loud that I could hear it as I arrived for my appointment. They also park a vehicle right at the Boundary Road entrance so it's partially blocking it. Not sure why they park a vehicle there, maybe to control the speed of people coming in. I saw one person needing to back up a little back onto Boundary Road, just to adjust to squeeze through. Not safe since Boundary is a busy road. Best to enter/exit from the Kitchener entrance. When my vehicle was ready, they didn't go over the invoice or alignment sheet. They just handed the invoice and told me the cost. I will go back to the previous location i used to go to, even if it's further away.

    Had a very disappointing experience at this shop. I came in for a second opinion based on proximity…read moreand positive reviews, but ultimately left with a very bad impression. I initially came in for an oil change and asked the owner / owner's son, Riaz, to check a few items while the car was on the hoist: the belt drive, control arms, brake fluid, and brake pads. I was completely fine paying for an inspection, and he mentioned it would be easy to check since the car was already lifted. After the oil change, I was told that all of the above items needed attention. Based on his recommendation, I authorized the brake fluid service and belt drive replacement. The old belt was never shown to me after replacement. Regarding the brakes, I was told--both verbally over the phone and in writing on the invoice--that the brake pads were 1 mm in the front and 3 mm in the rear, and that they needed to be replaced ASAP. I found this odd and questioned it, but he doubled down and assured me this was accurate. I was quoted $550 per axle, trusted the assessment, and agreed. I was also given labor quotes for the work and asked to return once I purchased the pads and control arms. The labor pricing was on the higher side, though still lower than the dealership. The parts took about a week to arrive. Once the parts came in, I called around and found another shop that beat their pricing, so I dropped the car off there instead. Midway through the day, the new shop called me to ask whether I actually wanted to replace the rear brake pads, because they measured 6-7 mm remaining and didn't understand why they were being replaced at all. I have never experienced an auto shop calling to confirm work because they believed it was unnecessary and unreasonable. That alone speaks volumes. I returned to Amin's to see if they would make things right. When I first called, I was told, "What do you want us to do? The manager isn't here and won't be back for six weeks." After pushing back, I was told to come in and discuss it. When I arrived, Mr. Amin was extremely confrontational and stated that they "only eyeball the brake thickness." I explained that I came to their shop specifically for a professional opinion, and that I had written confirmation from their invoice stating the rear pads were 3 mm, which was clearly not the case. Had I not chosen to source my own parts, I would have been charged $1,100 for brake work that was not needed. I was ultimately told to "get lost and sue me if you want." There was no attempt to resolve the issue, no accountability, and no professionalism. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this shop. im out money for parts and labor which i never needed.
