My car is giving a 'pinging' noise on high temperatures and power demand. It could either be the EGR / timing issue - I am looking for an honest mechanic who has good diagnosis and does not do unwanted repairs just to make money.

Please suggest some mechanic if you ve had a good experience .

My Mazda Protege has its 'check engine' light illuminated - can anyone recommend a garage / mechanic where you have had trustworthy service at ?

Location is not an issue - looking for someone honest and good diagnostic skills .

I have been lucky enough to find an honest mechanic / garage . Its Peel Auto Centre , 149 Clarence St , Brampton (Clarence / Kennedy) # 905-453-9432 .

In the above mentioned case I left the car and collected it in the evening - he diagnosed it as MAF sensor malfunction - cleaned it and charged me only for the scanner charges . The car is running fine for over a week now .

Their hourly rate is $75 and are they are Portuguese . The main mechanic's name is Fernando .

If you are on the lookout for a good mechanic, please send me an email. This guy, who I met thru craigslist, works for ford and does repairs from his home garage. I have found him to be very reasonable and upfront, about what could be wrong with your car...

There is one issue though - he isn't available everyday, because he works full time at the ford plant at oakville. He is located in Milton. If you need his phone number, please email me.

Thanks....

A humble request to all our Desi businessmen and would be entrepreneur(s). Even if you do not have a car for repair kindly visit their location either at Tomken/Eglinton or at Dundas to observe the way they deal with their customers and also their employees. Many times I have been dropped off or picked by their employees and never once they have bad mouthed their management but always praised them. When you work or deal with employers who are abusive to their employees and you find a different type of employer(who respects their employees) you tend to go back to them for rewarding their attitude.They are far ahead of the the typical Canadian businesses and I have not seen a single Desi run business which can even reach to their door steps in the communication matters. I have only come about Desis owners shouting at their employees and being rude with their customers.

Till to date I have not had any problems with their repairs. More than that I like to visit them for their customer service.

Why do our Desi businesses do not understand that business is not just selling a product or service but building a life long relationship with their customer base !.



After reading your post I started to go to them. It was getting regular maintenance no complaints. Last month I went to them again for regular maintenance (Tomken and Eglinton) and my battery was giving me problems. I asked them to check it. They did and came back with a report that the battery needs to replacement. No complaints as it was my assessment. They gave me a quote $130 for battery and $96 for labour. $226 for a honda accord battery plus taxes. Would you call to be honest and reasonable? I went to Costco, the battery there was for $85 plus taxes. In the end, I called CAA for battery replacement. They charged me for $125 plus tax for the battery including installation. Three years road replacement warranty. I prefer that over Costco as you need to go to Costco for replacement.

I will try next time their Dundas location where the owner actually sits. In the end I found all are the same.
