He is a good mechanic, he is friendly, knowledgeable and will repair your car on a budget. However because of my experience going to him for two years I will tell you why you shouldnt go to him unless youre broke. In one word: DISHONESTY. Before I continue, if you chose to go to him, ASK for the parts receipt, if he makes a straight face and asks you if you dont trust him (like he did to me the first time I asked for it), say that its for tax purposes or whatever... but GET THAT RECEIPT, so you know where the parts came from. My civic has drums brakes and they wear out every 50-100 thousand km. I go to the dealership for oil changes and a general check up and they when they quoted me the brakes, they said $500 for the replacement, I went to his shop and he quoted me $250. Because of this difference I accepted the deal without question. Next time I went to see him to get a main relay for a different car done he asked if they brakes had worked... which I found odd for him to be asking, indeed they had, it was done properly (the main relay however he wanted to charge me $140 for the part... its a third of that, ask for the receipt again!). 8 thousand km later I went back to the dealership to get another oil change/check up. The brakes were quoted at 35% left in the front and 55% in the back. Either the brakes are wearing out at 5x the normal rate (in which case he is not a good mechanic), or the most likely scenario.... He used junker grade brakes, that would explain why he only charged half the cost. Now the problem is not that he used junker grade parts, its actually that he didnt tell me he was going to. That is the main reason why I will not go back to his shop. Same with the relay, he was trying to make it look like a big job, made go three times to his shop, every time telling me that the part was not ready, not in stock.... three times for a 15 minute job. He couldnt call and tell me the truth. It wasnt until I told him to cancel it because I would do it myself... he called back within 15 minutes and magically the price went down from $140 quoted to $80 final. Good mechanic, sure but honest this guy is NOT AT ALL.

Ive been going to this shop since i had my honda prelude. Really great service all around. I got my car fixed but since the engine has really high mileage he adviced me to sell the car or get it trade in a.s.a.p while the engine is still running because he told me its was about to break down. That right there is honesty. If it was some other shop they wouldnt even say that. So i took his advice and sold it. Now I bought an SUV. I called the shop today regarding the concern I had on my SUV and he said to me that the issue i had with the suv is normal and nothing is wrong with it. You want honest auto mechanic? U should go to this shop. I would highly recommend this guys. Shout out to Souraj. Thanks a lot bud for all your help haha. I dont know if you remember me. Btw i always go here for oil change. Really cheap price for an oil change!!!!

Ive known Alan for awhile now from back in my "Honda" days. Hes provided excellent customer service and quick turn around time. I only recently met Souraj whom i have a mutual friend in which ive only heard great things about as a co-worker. In my dealings with the shop recently, Souraj worked with my 3rd party Warranty/Insurance to get my 335i back on the road. The shop specializes in european makes and tuned vehicles but have taken on just about every make and model you can think of. I highly recommend these guys as they wont give you the run around with prices. Go for an oil change once and see for yourself. -GMG

BEST auto repair in VANCOUVER Diagnose and fix your car and even CHARGE you in most CONVENIENT amount! Not other auto repair shop that will RIP YOU OFF to the smallest amount that youll spend with them. I will surely recommend this shop and im not really sure for people who doesnt have patience and will just give BAD REVIEWS to put the business down (SHAME ON YOU) and will just say they were just giving their opinion or experience. Its not just youll going to order it through drive thru. THANK YOU sir ALLAN

wow. My car feels better than it has since I got it. If you ever need a mechanic I highly recommend this guy. I even bought him chocolates I was so impressed. He let me know exactly what was needed and exactly how much the parts would cost before doing anything. Not to mention the extremely reasonable charge for labour. He even called to let me know what was needed at the time he had said, and finished at the time hed said! Heck yes.

Had new tires put on my car for a great price. I was quoted 350.00 more at Costco and Canadian Tire. I also, not knowing the difference said I needed a tune up soon, when in actuality I only needed a fluid change as my car was to new for a tune up. They explained the difference in cost and what they both entailed. A tune up was 60.00 more. They were honest and I would use them again as well as recommend them!

I dont get this place. Makes an appointment and keeps my work van all day and doesnt move it an inch eight hours later and except me to be ok with it. Anyone can make an appointment the point of it is keeping it. Had to cancel deliveries and service calls to have the car sit in the same spot all day. Not worth the headache and baby sitting to save a couple of bucks. Total BS

Absolutely loved my experience here. The work took a little longer than expected but that was only because of parts needing to be ordered. Still I loved the work and the guys there are the best. They are honest about the work that needs to be done and thats something that you dont come across often :) I will be keeping them as my mechanics for years to come!

Siraj was great to deal with from the first phone call to the final hand shake. He and his team were professional and communicated throughout the repair of my 2011 Outback. They worked with my extended warranty provider to get my radiator replaced as quickly as possible. Thanks very much, would highly recommended!!

What an amaing shop. I went on my valentines day trip with my girlfriend to vancouver and my car broke down and wouldnt start. They where fast to order the part to fix my car and get it back on the road to get home. Number one pick in my books. Thanks so much

I like the service here because they know what needs to be fixed and they are very honest with their recommendations. Whenever Im afraid of being ripped off by the dealer, i run it by these guys first. They will never "oversell" me.

Great mechanics, never dishonest and never tried to make you pay for something you dont need. Never had issues with my vehicles after taking it to Allan and Souraj. Moddified car friendly and get whatever parts you need from them.
