Avoid person to person or person to object contact as much as possible by wearing gloves and masks when appropriate. Limiting the number of people waiting or dropping off a vehicle to a maximum of 4 to allow adequate distancing, even while waiting. Key drop-off envelopes are picked up by a person wearing gloves and a mask, while a second person handles the work order inputting.
Keys are then sanitized by the gloved one or deposited into a sandwich bag held and sealed by their counterpart, along with any paper the keys were delivered with. The technicians, before entering a vehicle and beginning work on it, wear a mask and disposable gloves to wipe down the driver's door, seat, switches, handles, shifter and steering wheel, using a sanitizing solution.

Services
As with all our work, AML strives to offer the best possible solutions when tackling any general repair, be it repairing a leaking exhaust system, repairing a punctured tire or replacing a leaking cylinder head gasket. We tackle, and guarantee, pretty much any job, from replacing a light bulb to replacing a motor, clutch or transmission.
Since 1960, AML has been hard at work keeping Toronto's cars safely on the road. It was in September of that year that Art French, a young, talented mechanic, and his wife Alice, a trained and experienced bookkeeper, put their names together to coin the title for their dream: Artenal Motors.
Integrity, hard work and long hours were the backbone of their new business, providing means to raise their five children as well as earn the loyalty and respect of their increasing clientele.Since that time, both Art and Alice have passed away, but their dream - now also known as AML Auto Service - has evolved into a small but modern corporation and a leader in both customer service and automotive service.

Correct wheel alignment improves handling and braking, saves fuel and helps maximize tire life. Along with quality tires and properly operating suspension, steering and brake components, correct wheel alignment works to keep the maximum possible tire contact with the road in every driving condition.
Timing chains, and timing belts to a degree, have, for decades, been a repair only item. Today, however, the systems used on engines make ignoring them a potentially bank-breaking experience, especially if you own an interference engine - so called because if the timing belt/chain breaks or otherwise loses sync, the valves will contact the cylinders, causing engine damage.
At AML, we treat each diagnostic challenge individually, based on the symptoms described by our customer. We begin by confirming symptoms wherever possible through road-testing or whatever means may be appropriate for a given problem. Next, a search is done for any relevant technical service bulletins made available by the manufacturer, and tests are performed which pertain to the symptoms described.

I definitely understand why this place has such a good rating. First time that I use the tire change service in this country. The help I got from Jason C was great. I bought my tires online through a third party and decided to have them shipped to me in AML, Jason helped me with the location of my order and schedule the installation. He was always attentive to my questions. For how busy they were, the service was fast and according to the delivery time of my vehicle, with a very fair and consistent price. I definitely recommend them 100%.

Very pleased with the service I received here. They replaced the brake lines and flushed the hydraulic system in my vehicle, etc., etc. They explained everything involved with this repair and the length of time it would take to do the work and gave me a very reasonable rate, which came in under the estimate, which really pleased me. I also store my tires here and have them changed over with the season. They are very accommodating and professional to deal with.Overall, I would highly recommend AML to friends and family.

I was looking to get my old car (2008 Volvo) certified before delivering it to its new buyer. AML was the only shop in my neighbourhood that I hadn't been to for a persistent squeak that my car had since I bought it two years ago. They were also the only shop who could make room for me to get my car certified.
While my car was in there, Jason called me about my left tie rod, saying it would need to be replaced before he could certify the car. He gave a rather reasonable quote and I told him to go ahead.
Not only did he fix the problem and return the car to me on time, he eliminated the one problem

I have been using AML since I moved to the area in 2003. Every person who works there has always been professional, but friendly and considerate of my personal needs regarding my car. I never hesitate to refer others because I know they will get excellent service. I consider myself very lucky to have found AML! Thanks to everybody at the shop.

AML is a very good place to service and repair my car.
Professional and friendly, always pay attention to my concerns and making sure to deal with it the best way. Prices are very fair and lower than the dealership, if you like to compare.
There is a small comfortable waiting room and usual I am sitting there, having cup of coffee and watching the relaxing Aquarium till my job is done.
I am so glad I "discovered" AML and highly recommend them for service and repairs for your car.

Being a single female, I’m happy I can trust AML to recommend services I really need. I’ve been a client for years and after moving away from the area, I still go there to fix my aging Honda. I’m quite sure Richard saved my life when he told me about a wheel issue while my tires were being changed for the winter. It was fixed right away and he assisted me in procuring a rental from across the street (super convenient). I recommend AML very highly for their professionalism, great service, reasonable prices and pleasant personalities.

I chose AML for a Drive Clean test based on its location. I have not been here before, but my car has because the Master Mechanic shop next door sends cars here for testing. When I called, a same day appointment was offered to me, but I took one for the following day. I was pleasantly surprised that someone was waiting to take my car as soon as I pulled into the parking lot. The counter staff was quick, polite and friendly. The waiting room has a washroom, fish tank, magazines, free WIFI and water machine/coffee maker. By the time I had figured out how to make myself a coffee my car was done. Fifteen

Normally when I get my vehicle serviced, I don't do it - I get a dad/brother/boyfriend to take care of it for me. Yes, I am completely ignorant when it comes to vehicles.
I recently had to have an emission test done asap. I called the Gyro Mazda dealer, and they directed me here to AML. Boy, was I ever glad I went! These guys are so nice! Richard, the Service Manager was very helpful and made me feel at home while I waited. I noticed a few customers come in, and Richard (and the rest of the office crew) knew the customer's names. I was shocked! When one of the customer's brought
