Angelo Auto Repair

I went there to get a safety inspection for my mom’s car, which was still under a lease term with Audi. The car had been serviced 2 weeks prior to my visit and everything was fine. When they asked me and told me that I “just” need to change the breaks I was shocked! I went down there and told them Im sure everything is alright we just had this car serviced; they got a little nervous and said “eventually” you need to change the breaks so we can do it now and pass the inspection. So basically they tried to corner me to pay them money that was not necessary at the time to pass the inspection. They also charged me for the inspection 80$ (the same amount Canadian Tire later charged me in addition to giving me the documents!!!). So 3 days later I booked an appointment with Canadian tire and they provided me with the safety inspection no problem !!! They said you have more than enough (more than 4mm which is required by guidelines) on the breaks. It’s a shame that local mechanics think it’s still 1970s and they are the only ones in town. People like these guys don’t deserve my trust. So I think they will first try to overcharge you and if it didn’t work they’ll go for plan B.

Angelo is my go-to mechanic now for over 10 years. He is professional, kind, honest and fair! He never over charges or suggests I get things done with my car that isn't necessary. I'm so grateful for all of help!

Looks like I'm going against the majority here, but I can only go off my own personal experience.I lived at Brunswick/Dupont at the time and my car failed to start one morning. Naturally, I took it the local mechanic. It ended up being the Crank Position Sensor. Got the car back, everything was fine until I tried going beyond 6k RPM; car just hesitated. Took the car back and was told the sensor that was ordered was was for the 1.6L Toyota Corolla (I have 1.8L XRS model) Angelo would need to order the correct sensor. OK, fine. not a problem... HOWEVER, I was told that the previous sensor could not be returned, and that I would have to incur the charge for the new sensor ($150), but he would not charge me labor...... Wow.. well thank you kind sir!! Why am I responsible for incurring this charge when YOU'RE the mechanic? Should you not know what order to place based on the car you're working on? If I wasn't such a shy kid back then, I would have pushed back.I'm glad the majority has had a pleasant experience -- I still have the part if anyone is interested! Would not go back, unfortunately.

Angelo is a remarkable man/mechanic. Use his shop(s) for over 30 years. Very professional but, even more important, he is super kind and sensitive. Won't take my car(s) anywhere else!

My car died and Angelo discovered that it was a belt replacement issue. Very happy with his service.

We have been using Angelo for servicing our car for years. My husband's family used his business for decades. He is honest, hard working, always try to give you a good deal, I am highly recommending!

Angelo is fantastic guy to work and trust. I know him over 20 years.. Highly recommend

I bought a vehicle from a person who had older American vehicles on Angelo's lot. The car was inspected for safety by Angelo and obviously passed despite having oil leaking from it and having the wrong size battery installed.I have had to replace the battery three times in just over four years and Angelo feels it is my fault since I don't drive enough. He assumes he knows my driving habits from the odometer. I do short runs but every day. The problem with the battery occurs in warmer winter weather yet it starts in -40c as it did last year with no issues.If you go to the shop, make sure you know a thing or two about cars and check the cost of repairs. It adds up very quickly. My first battery replacement cost me well over $300.00 including taxes on towing charges which had already been taxed.This place had a good reputation some years back, but like so much in society, things change and those who could be trusted are beginning to fail their client base.

Highest possible recommendation. Angelo has been keeping my now-20 year-old Toyota in excellent running order for over 14 years, at a very reasonable cost. I feel complete confidence in his advice: he is both honest and highly skilled.I watch with dread as the condos spread along Dupont Street, wiping out all the commercial businesses in their way. I wonder how long Angelo can hold out from the developers. It will be a huge loss to the neighbourhood when he is gone.

My experience with this mechanic shop was excellent - 5 Stars! My car is an older BMW and Angelo Auto Repair was recommended to me because of his experience with import cars. Angelo was very courteous, professional and knowledgable. Most of all he was fair with the costs of his services and I really appreciated that. Thanks Angelo. I highly recommend this shop.
