Craig has made me feel comfortable that I am being told the truth about what our vehicles actually need. I took my daughters car to Craig after she was told it needed hundreds of dollars in repairs somewhere else, he looked at immediately and the problem was solved quickly, and at an affordable price.

Getting an oil change is a very important routine maintenance service that every vehicle needs at certain mileage intervals. Oil lubricates the parts in and around your vehicle's engine to keep it running smoothly, safely and efficiently. We have regular and synthetic available for you. During an oil change, we replace the oil itself and the oil filter with brand new ones, leaving your vehicle ready to go again.
The battery of your vehicles allows all electrical systems to operate - power doors and windows, lights, dashboard, audio equipment and more. Electric vehicles often have more than one battery. A dead battery or one that cannot hold a charge properly will leave you with a car that won't start. Signs of a low battery may be dimmed headlights or difficulty starting the engine.
The air filter is very important because it keeps dirt and other debris from outside entering the engine, which can hurt its performance and mileage. Air filters need to be replaced regularly, as they become full and clogged from regular use of your vehicle, particularly if you often drive on unpaved roads.

This is truly a family business. They cater to the military by accepting the CANEX no-interest plan which puts them in direct competition with Kal-Tire and Fountain Tire, but the money goes to a local business now.
Friendly and knowledgeable. I bought tires and rims for my Model 3 and though I was their first Tesla customer, they are now Tesla experts.

The family with 5 cars and a truck have trusted Craig to do their maintenance for several years. We have always found him to be professional, courteous, willing to take the time to explain what needs to be done. We also feel his rates are fair. You can not go wrong using Craig and his competent staff.
Plus he is very aware of Covid and has taken the appropriate steps.
Way to go Craig.

Maidens Family is the most reliable, honest and trustworthy mechanic I have used in the Barrie area. Craig is always straightforward and honest with me whenever I need work done on any of my vehicles. He's always a phone call away if I have a question or concern. Heather is so kind and friendly, always available for help whenever needed and is a huge part of making the experience at Maidens a great one. Thank you for all the help over the years, and years to come being a forever customer of yours!

The one thing that is sold here that is not on the service list is peace of mind. Car owners can rest assured that the service recommended is the service that is required. There is no frivolous up-sell to flushes and cleaners that only flush your wallet and clean your bank account.
Service: General repairs & maintenance
