Services
By providing good, old-fashioned customer service over the years, proprietor Mike Hawkins has gained a loyal following in the community. Many hundreds of area residents have come to depend on them, and to rely on the technical expertise of their friendly staff to keep family vehicles in peak running condition.
Every one from your father to your buddies to your bank manager has said to change your oil regularly. Well, everyone at Eastside Auto Repairs will join the chorus. Your engine generates temperatures in excess of 200 degrees, or higher. Your motor oil lubricates and helps to cool your engine. Over time motor oil loses some of its viscosity (its ability to flow).
When you position yourself behind the steering wheel, turn the ignition key, shift the gear lever into "D" and press down on the accelerator pedal, you expect your car to move forward. If this is not happening, chances are it's a little late for preventative maintenance on your transmission. The technicians at Eastside Auto Repairs take the maintenance of automatic transmissions very seriously.
You will begin to notice roll or sway on turns, front end "dives" when braking, rear end "squats" when accelerating, excessive bouncing or sideways slides on rough roads, your vehicle bottoming out. Loss of control of any vehicle will endanger lives of others on the road. If you are concerned about your car, call us today at (519) 524-8612.
Today's engines operate better, last longer and are more fuel-efficient than engines of 10 or 20 years ago. And in order to keep them working at their peak performance, they continue to need a regular tune-up. Today's tune-up is very different than one from 20 years ago. Yes, we still check the plugs, filters and fluid levels, but these days there is a very different aspect to a tune-up.

I recommend East Side Auto to anyone I know looking to buy a new car. I got my first car from them many, many moons ago in college and I just purchased my 3rd car from them this week. They are great to work with and super helpful with the specifying buying needs I had.

I bought my Volkswagen Jetta from East side Auto about 5 years ago for a wonderful deal.
It's ran like a champ the entire time I had it. Sadly, I decided to sell it this year because I wanted an SUV. However, I had no problems reselling it even with a salvage title.

I bought a car here back in 2018 and forgot to leave a review. I had a great experience and the car I purchased has since had no major issues and has run beautifully.

We bough an SUV in February 2021. Later, we found out there was some miscommunication concerning the warranty of the vehicle. We ended up paying $2000 for a repair that was supposed to be covered by the warranty if correctly applied by the shop. We called East Auto to address the issue. They took full responsibility, they covered the costs we obtained, treated us with the highest level of respect and even extended our warranty beyond the standard. I highly recommend to purchase a vehicle from them because they treat people fair.

Excellent service, the folks at the sales office were great and Nathan helped me get my car quicker because I was in a bind. Lots of good gems here if you're willing to look and wait a day or so. They have all levels And varieties of vehicles. Put in a little patience and you'll find a real jewel here.

Very nice staff. Fair pricing and good estimations on when car will be ready. That being said, it took two week for them to “detail” my car and fix things up. First of all I noticed the sunroof was not always working while on my test drive and mentioned that to the staff, assuming that would be something they would fix during the two weeks. Completely ignored the sunroof and does not work at all now. The detail should be called “we payed my little brother to vacuum and wipe down the dash.” There is still shattered glass fragments in the rear window, trunk, seat pockets, and door compartments

Eastside auto repairs saved my butt! They helped me find a great set of tires, took care of the installation and got it all done in no time at all. I was in a pinch and they definitely went above and beyond. I would totally recommend them to anyone in the area (or even passing by). Thanks again!

Ive been going to Eastside Auto Repairs for many years now and will do so for many years to come. I drive all the way from London to get the best overall service hands down. Over the years I’ve bought 2 vehicles from Eastside’s and couldn’t be happier with there performance. Literally make my decision when buying a used vehicle easy as can be. Ive… never had a more honest, professional, and pleasant experience. They’re always happy to help whether my needs were minor or major, they had all the answers. Big thanks to the team at Eastside Auto Repairs for everything

Absolutely appalling customer service . Went in with a complaint about the work done to my truck . Just to be belittled , talked downed to and patronized by the owner. Apparently I should have been move… specific with the noise under the hood. What I thought was a revving was actually a hum.... & because of that reason did not get fixed. Instead of admitting fault and rescheduling an appointment I was told to go else where. ...

Good, quick, honest service. My truck quit on the road yesterday around 3pm, Mike towed it in and had problem diagnosed, fixed and paperwork done by 8:15am. That's pretty impressive when his hours are 8-5. Definitely worth recommending!
