Dandy Auto Marine Ltd

Wow, I’ve never had such a great experience at an auto shop!! I was referred to these guys by a friend who has stored and serviced their boat here for years. From start to finish it was stress free. When I called they fit me in on short notice, and they were able to quickly source some parts that another company had told me would be special order and double the price. Not only that, but they actually saved me money when they pointed out a few things that didn’t need to be replaced! I’ve found our new one-stop shop in Airdrie!

Great shop that has taken care of my boat on numerous occasions and does whatever they can to help every time. Most recently, helped get my boat ready on short notice, with no hassle and great communication.

Would like to thank everyone at Dandy Auto Marine for their prompt and professional service. We had been using another shop in Airdrie that promised to get our boat in to diagnose a starting problem. 5 days after we left the boat as instructed they had not looked into the problem and made us feel like we had been bothering them to find out status. Got feed up with the lack of response or care and called the team at Dandy. We boat primarily at Glennifer lake and almost every time see a Dandy Marine sponsored boat/s & team providing memories for church groups and disabled kids. Explained the situation to Dandy and without hesitation was asked if I could drop it off that day and it would be diagnosed in 24-48hrs. Dropped the boat at the shop on a Friday afternoon (contact-less due to Covid) left, drove down the street and grabbed takeout for lunch, drove by their shop on the way home and the boat was already moved inside (maybe 10min since drop) and then was contacted 2-3hrs later with the problem identified w/pictures and a commitment to start the part search Monday morning. Talked with Dandy on the following Tuesday and not only did they source the part but proactively ordered it due to CAN/USA stat holiday timing (and comment that if I didn't want to proceed they would just send the part back). Part happened to come in later that day (today) and was informed I should have the boat back later in the week. Just got off the phone with Dandy (7pm June 30 - night before Canada Day) and my boat is now ready for the lake. I want to thank everyone at Dandy for the professional service and understanding that we have a short time frame in Alberta for boating. My experience so far has been incredible and they have earned my business going forward. Would recommend this company to anyone needing help with their boat.

Dandy auto is the absolute best they always have helped me out with my boat repairs very professional , great service and excellent repairs!!! I cant thank them enough for fitting me in last minute to install a starter in my boat just before vacation. It runs awesome see photos! would recommend!! 5 star

Went to Danby to hopefully get a brake line repaired, not only did it get fixed right away, but the tech fixed it whilst he was on his lunch break, thank you so much, definately recommend them if you are in Airdrie.

I took my Car to Dandy for a Piece of Mind inspection after being told by my dealership that my car needed a lot of work. Dandy was amazing to deal with. Not only were they really friendly and speedy but they were also very trustworthy and very decent when it comes to price! Guess what, my car didn’t need a lot of work! If you are looking for an honest company, go to Dandy!

Have had lots of great service from Dandy, they have provided service to all of my vehicles from quotes and repairs and only completed approved work. They did an amazing job on the 5th wheel hitch in my truck, and I also had them complete an insurance inspection on our car recently. The staff is very friendly and very helpful, they also have a storage yard off site that has been a god-send as it’s not over-booked for being just on the edge of the city. It’s always been easy to access my trailer when needed, and I know it’s secure and monitored year round. I could carry on and on about all the positives at Dandy but you really should just go in and experience a shop that treats you like family!

I live in Calgary and have been taking my boat to the good folks at Dandy for the past 10 years. In addition to routine maintenance, they have installed Perfect Pass, a Monster wakeboard tower, and a swim platform. They have also done polishing and graphic work. The quality of work has been excellent and the customer service has been great!November 13, 2018: Folks at Dandy just finished power polishing our travel trailer and like previous results with our boat, they once again have exceeded our expectations! Turn out great! (photos attached)

So I bought a 2016 Ford F 150 out of BC with only 43k kms on the odometer. I found this business through Kijiji of which they offered a discount on their out of province inspections. The online ad quotes as low as 49.99 but that is for a car, light trucks are 109. This was clearly communicated with me when I booked the appointment. To book you have to fill out an online form and they will phone you back to book the appointment. I found the location rather easy to find, and the staff were prompt and efficient. I knew the truck would pass, so no surprises there. There is a waiting lounge which has wifi and free coffee. There is nothing much close by for restaurants, and in the winter there is no cleared path, so be prepared if you are planning on waiting. They were able to book me into my appointment on the day I wanted. I would suggest this is good value for your money if you require an out of province inspection done. They do follow the rules, so don't bring a beater and expect it to pass. Price was cheaper than the few options in Calgary, and I am happy I choose Dandy to do my inspection. Plus it's independently owned, so supporting a small business is always a good thing.
