Knighthill Automotive

Took my car here to check out brakes because they started making sounds. They checked it for free and said that the front were almost worn out but the backs were fine. Didn’t try to sell me the full set. I also asked them how much brake flushes were and they quoted me $ 89. My dealership wanted $ 215. Wtf?! Whenever I waited and a mechanic saw me they would ask if I’ve been helped. Who des that? I have never been to a shop where the mechanic actually asks how the customers are doing. That was a big plus for them and it shows the people who work there actually care and not just working there as if it was another job. So I decided get my tires changed there as we’ll and they quoted me $ 100 for everything. I checked my dealer and they said $ 80. But when I asked them if there were other charges they started adding parts and misc labour and tools and it was another $ 65 on top of that. That’s unacceptable. The good thing about knighthill is that the quote they give you is the amount they actually charge. These guys also Service the ambulances for the bc ambulances for many years which gave me some assurance in their quality. They have also been around for over 40 years i think. So I got the tires installed but after a day of driving, I noticed a sound when I rolled down the window while driving. I took it back and Kevin, the service guy checked it for me without hesitation. Turns out it was a rick wedged in the tread that kept hitting the pavement as the wheel turned. But he said if it continues bring it back. Great service. It’s not easy finding a reliable and trustworthy mechanic. The only bad thing about this place is the fact that they only open on weekdays. It makes it very difficult to bring my car in when I work Monday to Friday. If they could open on Saturday that would be great.
