Outright lied to me about vehicle inspection standards.

Brought my vehicle here to get safetied, was advised it was going to cost $2750 for front/rear brakes/rotors, a left rear calliper was seized and I apparently needed new tires.

I insisted the tires had a good 70% tread left on them but the tech said it didn't matter because they were 9 years old and anything over 5 years old is recognized as unsafe by MTO standards.

There is nothing in the vehicle inspection standard handbook requirements that says anything about tire age, only tread depth.
The MTO maintenance handbook recommends no older than 10 years, but this is only a recommendation. Regardless my tires being 9 years old fall under that recommendation.

I phoned the shop back to speak to the technician that did the diagnostic on my car, Amanda advised me that he was away in the Philippines and she could discuss the invoice with me. When I brought up the tires she assured me that it is an MTO requirement to be under 5 years. I asked her to quote me where exactly it says that in the Vehicle Inspection handbook and she said she was unsure and would check with another tech and get back to me. I never heard back. I called back a week later and when I asked again I was told that I was correct and they would remove the tire cost off my invoice and it would be approx. $600 less that what I was originally quoted for.

Told them no thanks, went to a different ship and got it certified for $1000 even. I also asked the shop to check my rear left calliper specifically as I was told it was seized, they assured me it was fine.

I understand mechanics need to make a living but there is a difference between trying to make a couple bucks and a highway robbery.

If you are going to lie about something I recommend you don't lie about information that is accessible online for the public.

Great local mechanic if you’re in Mount Albert or Sharon. A bit tricky to find if you’ve never been but it’s behind the home, take the driveway to the back at the specified address. A family owned business, with friendly, reliable, and reasonably affordable cost of repair. I miss my old mechanic as I went to him for well over a decade but so far Mick has filled the void.

Micks did the oil spray on my vehicle and took the time to make sure it was done properly and thoroughly. Great people to work with going above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. Best oil spray product around IMO…it’s thicker and stays on better than other sprays we’ve had done. Highly recommend.

My favourite mechanic team! Always find the cause of my weird car issues, shuttle me to/from home, super friendly staff and owners, and the price is always right. You can’t ask for more! I like that they are willing to show me what’s wrong if I ask (like when my brakes were acting up) I’ve been using them consistently now that my car is getting older and I no longer need to use the dealership for the warranty. Thanks for being so helpful!
