Best Shops in Calgary who give a dam about your car?

[QR25DE-SER]

If anyone has a list they want to make on any repair shops that actually give a dam about your car that would be just peachy.

Myself no troubles as of yet with FishCreek Nissan.
They have serviced 2 of the Nissan's I've had no problems as of yet.
And they put the bags on your tires if you switching from winter to summer tires :)

Anyone else have good repair shops to recommend?

If you own a BMW, Sheni's hands down. Baleeedat.

VW or Audi, go see George at TuneDUB.
Guy cares way too much about other peoples cars haha.

edit: a brief story... so I bring my car to him after another 'tech' couldn't figure out an oil leak after installing my K04 turbos. Other guy had my engine out of the car and the turbos off TWICE and couldn't diagnose the oil leak. George points a flashlight up with the car on the hoist. "see that washer? It isn't crushed." Knows VW/Audi better than anyone in Alberta.

Ahaha. Yea +1 for TuneDub..

Cracked the lip on a buddies bumper getting the car on the hoist (since it was crazy low) and paid for a replacement lip plus some discount on the service..
Best shop in town got VAGroup hands down.

You're lucky, Fish creek nissan is the worst dealership that I've ever dealt with. Wait till you have a major repair, they kept my car for 3 months and overcharged me by 3 thousand and ignored months and months of calls.

Personally, I goto Minit Automotive on heritage and macloed, the guys there are great to deal with and from what I've seen don't try to rip you off. twice they've fixed cars for me for free because they were 10 second fixes.

RCTS, always top notch work

A guy I used to go to high school there is one of the lead tech's or something there. who did you deal with there?

For Hyundai, I would stay away from Both precision hyundai and Gallery. had too much work done at both and what a waste of time.

Gonna try Crowfoot hyundai. hopefully they are better

[jdmSiR]

Varisty Shell on shaganappi trail (by market mall) FOR SURE!

Bipin is an excellent mechanic, hes hard of hearing however is probably the most honest mechanic and provides an excellent service.

[Axe]

Monza Automotive on Edmonton trail - Have been going there for 8 years and owner Vince has always been great on service and what does or does not need to be done.

[msommers]

I had a thread awhile ago where a lot of people gave reviews/feedback on shops in town. Can't seem to find it now..

Anyone got a favorite Mazda Dealership? Car is still under warranty, and North hill has been a bitch to deal with.

I agree Southgate isnt very good.. $581.00 For an oil change & a new alternator for a monte carlo car 1995 thats expensive. And this was just last month for my mother.

Also had a friend who was hired as a lot attendant & they jerked him around about the job. Said he had it come in Monday. Monday he shows up they don't have a friggin clue. I lost my respect for them. So I need an alternative Chev dealer or at least a good shop to take her car in for some work as it may be in need of struts soon. And can't afford to pay an arm & a leg for it.

Any suggestions that take older Chev cars & do good work would be a good.


Phenix : I'm unsure as its different everytime I go in there.
I deal with that woman Monia currently.

Suggestions for Dyno tuning anyone? Ive emailed the dynomotive email and pmed Toma but nobody has replied yet and I just want to get my car tuned and done, or at least make an appointment.

[MGCM]

Bring any/all GM vehicles(Including Saturns and even Caddy's) to GSL Chev. I'm working there right now in Service and everything has been really good for me so far. We even have a cafeteria upstairs with a lady who cooks breakfasts/lunches everyday for both staff and customers, she is an amazing cook!!! The shop manager is a good guy and so is the assistant manager, they are very fair and won't screw you around if you have a legitimate issue that wasn't resolved by the service advisor. Both Managers have previously worked in the shop as mechanics and have been in the business for a long time.

What type of tuning do you need? What type on engine managnment do you have?

Calgary Autoworks has a dyno and certified tuners from EFI University. We are booking for 2 weeks out on dyno tuning, give our shop a call.

Tecmotion (I think that's how you spell it) was great I called the one day and I think the very next day I was on the dyno, resonable rates and a very nice guy (owner of the shop) only drawbacks are that it's a Mustang Dyno so it reads stingy and he can only do 2WD.

What does a car I owned over 3 years ago have to do with GSL and my job there? If you have a personal problem with me don't bring it onto the forums.
