Islander Automotive Repair

Used this shop for a general tune up and brake job. Made appointment with Gopal and dropped off the car for servicing. Received back as promised on time. Work was done well and at a reasonable cost. Would recommend the shop for auto repairs and maintenance.

I just wanted to say I see a lot of reviews saying this place is a rip off or 1 star in my experience I dealt with the owner and have known him for at least a decade if not more he has never done me wrong in any way. Even though the shop might not appear Sophisticated the job gets done properly every time for me and my family, who never had an issue with his repairs or had to come back after few months with the same problem. The mechanic I’m talking about I don’t know his name but he isn’t about beating you out of your money or anything. I could keep going in detail but no problems with my family and me always fair and asks through repairs “do u want this or that” and explains which is better and doesn’t force you to choose the most expensive parts I’ve been to a different shop long time ago for a mandatory safety inspection by the Rcmp for window tint for the front windows that I had to get removed what should’ve been a small amount under 500 but cost me 3k because he found everything that he could say is not road safe yet when it came to the most important part in my car the axle was bent and could have broke, he simply told me don’t say anything to anyone I will lose my licence, btw which wasn’t fixed by that other shop yet the axle being bent was more serious than all the tires and brakes rotors that other shop made me do plus lights and god knows what else that other shop made me fix that didn’t really need to be. So have fun going to people like that I rather go here any day. It’s definitely everyone’s opinion on this shop but I can vouch for this shop.

Very friendly, helpful and reasonable rates.

Did a bad job on my timing belt and possibly ruined my engine. He won't admit to it but i was approached by a colleague of a witness and also my bcaa mechanic confirmed the lies i was told. AVOID! Took my $$$ and ruined my car
