Air conditioning systems may lose 0.3-0.6 ounces of refrigerant yearly, which is why it's a good idea to have your air conditioning system checked yearly. That being said, if at any time you start to notice your interior cooling ability has declined, you should have your air conditioning system tested.
This service includes replacing worn belts and hoses, and adjusting the fit of installed components. It is a good idea to check the condition of your vehicle's belts and hoses with every oil change. Replacing belts and hoses will help avoid unexpected breakdowns, and serious engine damage due to overheating.
Periodically replacing your brake pads may save you money by preventing a "metal-on-metal" condition that accelerates the need to replace expensive rotors and/or drums. We are specially trained to maintain, repair, and replace your brake system to help ensure that it's working as efficiently and effectively as originally designed.
If you see a "check engine" or a "service engine soon" light in your instrument cluster; your car has stored a diagnostic trouble code. This means the computer system on your vehicle has detected a problem with the various systems it controls. Your car has many different sensors that monitor the various vehicle systems.
Climate and normal road conditions can damage, break, or wear out exhaust components over time. Maintaining your muffler and exhaust system not only helps to minimize engine noise, it helps protect you and others from dangerous carbon monoxide and/or carbon dioxide fumes and helps reduce pollutants released into the atmosphere.

Go to a different place to get your engine light diagnosed. Other mechanics have the courtesy to give the diagnostic free of charge. This place does not.

Fixed up in a timely manner on time and on budget. These guys rocked saved me so much money. Another shop totally misdiagnosed my engine issue which would have cost $2000+ for repairs it didn’t need.

I always get great work and service from Care Automotive! Weather it's my truck, ATV or boat trailer they have always taken great care of me. Just talking to Gord you can tell he has a passion for the work he does. On my last service of my ATV, they saved me $200 in work that I was told from another mechanic that I needed, when in fact I didn't need it at all. Thanks Gord!

I needed an emergency transmission replacement and Care got me in the same day, diagnosed the problem, gave me options for the repair and had my truck ready to go within a day of them receiving the new transmission. Prompt, courteous service.

Have been a long time customer of Gord’s at Care Automotive. I have a fleet of vehicles and they always keeps them well maintained and on the road.
I have full trust and confidence in Matt and Gord to work on all my vehicles and haven’t had any issues 8 years I’ve been a customer.
All repairs are performed on time and what I was quoted for. I find his best deal is an oil change. I recommend them as the cost is comparative to those fast oil change places. Except a real mechanic checks over the vehicle and can keep and eye on things and relay it to the customer.
Thanks Gord your honesty

Gord and the guys always take great care of my and my families vehicles. Great service, honest and always very accommodating. I wouldn’t take my vehicle anywhere else. One year warranty on parts and labour offer me peace and mind.
Thanks Gord you’re amazing!

Gord and his team have been my go to shop for a couple of years for all of my vehicles maintenance and inspections. They are honest and the work that they do is guaranteed. This is the first garage that I've been to that also checks for outstanding recalls. They truly want you and your family to be safe.

DON'T GO HERE !!!
TAKE YOUR VEHICLE SOME PLACE ELSE!!
Wrong coolant was added after service replacement of Thermostat, 5 year orange Dex-Cool was supposed to be used instead of universal 2 year green. As result, radiator coolant has gelified which occurs when you mix two differing coolants. There is potential damage occurring to radiator, engine parts, water pump, coolant lines, transmission cooler lines.
I noticed the jellifyed coolant at a third party auto shop where the truck was getting an oil change. They noticed the coolant was mixed and that it had jellified & suggested I do a proper
