Services

Everything your car needs. Nothing it doesn't.

Tap any service for a plain-English rundown of what's involved.

Drain the old oil, new filter, the right grade of fresh oil for your engine — plus a quick look at fluids, belts and tires while it's on the hoist.

Typically under an hour

We measure pads and rotors, check calipers and fluid, and show you what's worn. Pads, rotors, calipers or a fluid flush — only what's needed.

Typically 1–2 hours

Car pulling, or the steering wheel sitting crooked? We set camber, caster and toe back to spec so your tires wear evenly and the car tracks straight.

Typically about an hour

New tires, seasonal swaps, flat repairs and rim work. We'll tell you honestly whether a tire can be repaired or needs replacing.

Typically under an hour

Air blowing warm? We check the system for leaks and recharge the refrigerant so it blows cold again — and tell you if a part is the real culprit.

Typically about an hour for a recharge

Our most-requested service. A thorough, systematic check of your vehicle — ideal before buying a used car or a long road trip. Moving from out of province? See out-of-province inspections.

Time depends on the inspection type

Check engine light, rough idle, strange noises. We diagnose first, explain what we found in plain language, then quote the repair before touching anything.

Diagnosis first — we'll give you a timeline

Fluid service and inspection to keep shifts smooth — and a straight answer if something bigger is going on.

Typically 1–2 hours for a fluid service

Spark plugs, filters and the scheduled maintenance items your manufacturer calls for — so the engine runs clean and efficient.

Typically 1–3 hours, depending on the vehicle

Clunks over bumps, bouncing, uneven tire wear. We check shocks, struts, springs and linkages and replace only the parts that are worn.

Varies — quoted after inspection

New to BC?

Out-of-Province Inspections

Moved here from another province or the U.S.? Before ICBC will register your vehicle, it will generally need to pass an out-of-province inspection. It's the most-talked-about service in our reviews — and we'll make it painless.

Full out-of-province inspection guide

  1. 01

    Call or book online

    Tell us where the vehicle is coming from. We'll confirm the price, timing and exactly what to bring — so you only make the trip once.

  2. 02

    Drop off your vehicle

    Bring the vehicle and the paperwork we list for you when you book.

  3. 03

    We inspect it, thoroughly

    A systematic, by-the-book inspection. If anything needs attention, we show you what and why.

  4. 04

    Head to ICBC

    Once it passes, you take the paperwork to your ICBC broker to register and insure.

Do I need one?

In most cases a vehicle coming from outside BC must pass an inspection before it can be registered here. ICBC sets the rules and exemptions — check ICBC's official page, or just call us and we'll talk it through.

What does it cost and how long does it take?

We'll quote the price and turnaround up front when you call or book — no surprises when you pick it up.

What should I bring?

We'll send you the exact list when you book, so you arrive with everything the first time.

What happens if something fails?

We'll show you exactly what didn't pass and why, give you a plain quote to fix it, and you decide. No pressure, no upsell.
