Amin @ Salim's Auto Repair Inc

AMIN IS A MASTER MECHANIC! Brought in my Audi A4 when AC was blowing out 35*C last week.He figured out the issue in a minute or two after a scan and physical inspection. Replaced sensors and topped up gas as required and got it working better than new!Today I brought my car in again after a tire replacement went wrong, when my Stanley Professional Grade Wrench Set broke off on an over tightened and seized tire lug nut.They did their magic and replaced it with OEM bolts (refused to use the cheap canadian tire bolts I bought and used OEM, and didn’t charge extra for it).tldr: Amin’s workmanship is top quality, knows what he’s doing, and clearly answers questions to the point.Amin and his staff have a great personality while waiting for the work to get done.

Looking for an honest mechanic? Look no further. Got my brakes replaced here. Reasonable pricing, friendly service and honest people. Will definitely come back again!!!

Worst mechanic ever i experienced!! I have 2014 passat tdi had a problem with coolant leaks my first mechanic told me that my car water pump leaks and need new water pump and timing belt, but I just thought I should a have a 2nd opinion. Called these people they told me to walk-in after 2.5 hours wait they bring my car inn check out and said there is one clump is lose so we need to fix that only, and you will be fine, I explained to him that I already visited other workshop, and they said it needs water pump and timing belt, but he kept saying if you like I can change water pump and timing belt, but your car doesn't need, so I got convinced made an appointment for next day for 10am. i reached there on time. After waiting for almost 3 hours to get my car in to fix a clump after working 30 minutes , I paid about $200. I'm ready to leave, just checking my car. If any leaks but one of the employee who takes the keys sitting on front desk very rude personality forced me to leave the driveway, so I checked my car again in the parking lot the problem was not solved coolant was still leaking went back asked them, and they said you put coolant leaks stop that's why leaks not stop, so you should get rid of the car asap before you get in to other problems. They wasted my 3 days back and forth, my money. So I brought my car to (peter's vw service mechanic in north York) who gave me quotation for water pump and timing belt they fix my car and till now no leaks and car have no issues at all, so please don't waste your time and money.I will never recommend to anyone.

I am so grateful to Amin and his wonderful team. Our bmw broke right before we were to trade it in for another car and I knew the dealership would never squeeze us in and fix it in time. I found Amin online and couldn’t have been happier. The car arrived to their shop sounding like an uncle buck car with many warnings and an engine light on and left their shop running beautifully with zero issues… all done very quickly and for a fraction of the price the dealership would have charged. Also they really tested the car driving it a lot and pushing it to make sure the problem was actually fixed. I’m just mad at myself that I didn’t discover them earlier!

This place will sell you a used car, not giving you a chance to enjoy it, because you will be back with in the same week with multiple problems. They take your money and send you off with the unknown. Don’t waste your money with them

These guys are mechanical geniuses especially if you have an Audi or VW! Best auto shop in the city. Amin and his crew are total Audi/VW whisperers indeed! Best value & service for my A4 I’ve found and they are all very friendly and helpful, totally passionate about cars. AA+!!

Very honest and nice people. Got my Audi AC fixed here. Reasonable price! I hope they continue like that.They would refer you to another mechanic if they can’t fix your problem. I had one of the parts broken and there were 2 choices — replacing it and that’s costy, or fixing it but it was too difficult to be fixed so they referred to someone else who thinks he can fix it.

Anytime I have issues with my vehicle I bring it to Amin. He is the best. He knows his stuff. He’s very familiar with European made cars or North American. I know I am in good hands when I come to him I’ve been referring my family and friends here & the staff are very friendly too. Yes its not a fancy place but they fix cars because they know cars and they dont rip you off!

I've been seeing Amin @ Salim for 6 years and I can't say enough about the team. Always does perfect work, incredibly honest and gets the job done in a super reasonable time frame. Lucky to have a great mechanic team close to home that I can trust.

I had the same experience as Luda, 3 years ago. My previous mechanic convinced me that my 2010 BMW X3 was a lemon, and I should dump it. He regularly charged me hundreds of dollars in repairs. The last straw was when he told me I needed an expensive new part for $4,500! In desperation I went to Amin (at my neighbour's recommendation). Turns out I did NOT need a new part at all, and Amin fixed the problem and charged me less than $100. Turns out my car was in great shape and definitely not a lemon. That was over 3 years ago and I am still driving the car and have had almost nothing wrong with it in that time. Amin is incredibly honest and has enormous integrity and professionalism. It is too bad there are some dishonest mechanics out there preying upon people like me who know nothing about cars. I am extremely happy with Amin and highly recommend him to anyone who values an honest mechanic!
