George & Berny’s Repairs Ltd

I have been taking my ’85 Vanagon to G&B’s for over 5 years now. Exceptional service, trustworthy guys and quality of work is fantastic. I’ve brought our van in for everything from standard vehicle service to alternator, battery, exhaust, power, electrical issues, breakdowns — you name it, they know how to fix it. Their ability to squeeze a vehicle in during heavy workload is also very appreciated, as is their habit to do extra little things that need attention often without charge. Just bought a Golf and they were able to help out with diagnosing and replacing the faulty alternator, plus they let me know of a few other things that may need attention in the future. You can definitely trust them to not just create more work unexpectedly.
The fact that it’s a family run business and easy-​going, friendly and honest folk make me want to give them 10 stars.

After being abused and beaten with dealerships, I took my beloved Beetle to George and Bernie’s. You can’t find a better place. Great service, reasonable prices and so honest. A rare find. I joined Unilocal just to rave about them.

We recently took our son’s Acura 1.7 El (200 clicks) to George and Bernie’s for a second opinion– another mechnanic wanted to change the engine. G&B diagnosed no need to spend $ 2,000 and did a repair and car is running great. A good — no an honest — mechanic was worth more than an ounce of gold for us.

I switched to George & Bernie’s after a bad experience with my last mechanic. They are VW specialists, which I have now learned from experience to prefer, especially as I am driving an old MK2 that needs fairly regular maintenance. Very reasonable prices and exceptionally friendly service it’s a family business too, which I appreciate. What bumped these guys up to 5 stars though, was their ability to squeeze me in for a critical repair on the day I needed to leave town on an important trip. After being closed for two weeks they were able to see me an complete a repair by 1pm– truly grade A service & they saved my trip. Highly recommend.

Solid service and reasonable prices. They have been in business for 50 years. We recently took our VW to a local dealer in the lower mainland. The dealer was charging very steep prices. George & Berny’s can do most of the repairs/​maintenance for fraction of the cost. We will continue to go there instead.

Really honest, nice guys. We used to bring our car to Clarkdale on Main st but after a couple of bad experiences there — combined with the very high prices — we switched to George and Bernys… and we are very happy we did!
