Flexible with availability when I called asking about how soon I could come in saying you can bring your car in now if that works. As we know. We were treated like royalty at Cowichan Auto Repair. By the time the part came the vehicle was ready for it and it took very little time for it to be installed.

This is how all vehicle repair facilities should operate! I contacted Cowichan Auto Repair to check over a vehicle I was considering purchasing. They drove 20 minutes south to Mill Bay, put their "Repairer plates" on the vehicle as the owner had no had insurance on it, and drove it back to their shop to do a thorough vehicle inspection. This saved me the hassle of getting insurance on it for the day. The report I got back was very detailed including photos of the defective areas that needed servicing. I used their estimate for repairs to negotiate a better price on the vehicle. When the servicing

Picked up a u-haul trailer from Victoria. Found it was missing 2 bolts for the door latch. These guys (also a U-Haul Center) had it fixed and I was back on the road in about 15 minutes. Yes it’s a simple repair, but they were professional, considerate, and fast to get me back on the road.

Excellent, first class service from the first contact with knowledgeable Richie on the front desk to Rob the engineer who successfully fitted our inverter. We phoned around all of Victoria seeking an auto electric garage to fit our Hybrid car with an inverter with no luck. Fortunately an appeal for help on our Gonzales neighbourhood email networking site resulted in this firm being a good candidate. We were delighted to find a garage that could actually fit an inverter. Their service was professional, friendly, obliging and very reasonably priced for the service provided. The staff all seem happy

First time using this garage and I'm happy I chose them. I have a classic restored Mustang but had a few gauges that were not functioning correctly. They diagnosed the issues along with finding a sizable amount of old wiring cluttering things up and some just plain incorrect wiring of what was there. We sourced new gauges and they installed them as well as doing a good electrical audit of my system and cleaning up the rats nest of wiring that was under my dash. They were easy to communicate with and are clearly auto enthusiasts beside running the business. It's comforting to find a garage that

As an Electrical Engineer and Diagnostic Medical Imaging specialist I only like dealing with people who appreciate that and allow me to technically interact with them. Most garages do not allow this to any great degree.
Cowichan Auto Repair allow this to a great extent which infuses confidence in their approach.
On this basis I can thoroughly recommend them as a Company which will inspire confidence in the less and more informed customer

Experience was decent. They needed to change the pick up time of my vehicle but but fixed the car on time.
Not a big deal but they didnt wash the car or dust the dash board or quick vacuum. For 570 bucks to but a new battery and clear the error codes I just kinda figured a quick wash and vacuum would have eased the sting a bit.
It's the little things ya know. But they were professional and communicative. And I would recommend those I know to them.

I’m a dog walker so my van is extremely important. I took it to Cowichan Auto and I am so happy I found my new favourite shop. From booking to service it was a breeze and everyone was awesome. Even the mechanics came out to chat about their own dogs and tell me stories. Great company to support. I’ll be back for sure

AVOID THIS PLACE!!We bought a Groupon offer for $ 59, for a 5-liter oil change including filter. The small print on the Groupon site did say that foreign cars might be charged extra. And they did charge extra. Another $52 on top of the $59 for the coupon. The total was roughly the same as the dealership, which charges $120. My bad, although no other oil change place we have used to date has charged extra. At the end they tell my 84 year old mother that she should replace the air filter. They would charge $50 for the filter (don’t know if labour would have been on top of the $50, but I suspect

I ferried over to visit a friend and he wouldn't stop raving about this place. And scrutinizing me for my noisy muffler. So, I stepped forward thus fulfilling my destiny. First off, Ellie is the absolute… coolest. It's so cool how she's taken the angle in the auto industry and is up front about the simple fact: car shops have been known to take advantage of us ladies who aren't so savvy in the auto motive area. Michael is also absolutely lovely, as are the rest of the staff. They were super helpful in fixing my muffler problem (it was so loud I was losing my sanity), were honest, not pushy
