M & N Auto Repairs

Amazing shop. Best service I’ve ever had at an auto shop. Saved me so much money.

This place saved me a fortune! I needed to get an out of province inspection, went somewhere else (before knowing about this place) where my car was failed and I was quoted $ 1600 in repairs. I was stunned because my car is well taken care of. My dad’s mechanic (he doesn’t do out of province inspections) suggested I try these guys, who he said are honest and reliable. They were friendly and squeezed me in the same day. 3 hours later –Voila! Ain’t nothing wrong with my car– it passed! They charged $ 95 which is way cheaper than Canadian tire or some other places I checked. They earned a returning customer and you should see them too! Honest mechanics — I thought they were extinct but I’m happy to report I found some, alive and well!!! And don’t be a fool to take your car to the $ 39.99 out of province inspection joints — it’s not gonna be cheap once they’re through with you.

Just had a pre-​purchase inspection done here. This one went well! But he did a really thorough job, even taking apart the wheel. He answered my questions and didn’t mind me hanging around watching.
Nice guys, very friendly. I already knew the tires were a bit bald, but he pointed it out and I hope to get some new ones put on there soon.

You may second guess your decision if your the type of person that judges «Books based on their covers». This is not a money hungry franchise and therefore isn’t full of flashy signs and trained monkeys tricking you into spending your money at every turn. This is your old school neighbourhood mechanic. The kind your father used to bring his car to when you were growing up. This local business has been around for years and managed to survive even with the big box stores taking over. The only way a place like this can survive this type of economy isn’t by ripping off their customers but by the complete opposite! Providing honest, reliable, & kind service to every customer that they serve! I know it’s difficult to trust a mechanic especially with a large number of them giving the profession a bad name. We are led to believe they are all crooks tricking naïve people into paying for unnecessary repairs But take my word this is one of the good ones! I went to the trouble of having a friend (who is also a mechanic) look over my bill and he also confirmed I was getting a fair treatment! Plus I had another garage perform a pre-​purchase inspection on my vehicle and found the cost of having my car repaired at M & N was cheaper! Not to mention having a good relationship with your mechanic is always suggested (something you can’t have when you bring your vehicle to one of those big box stores)!
Suggestion: If you have a lot of repairs (as was my case) take the time to go over what needs to be fixed with the mechanic, then when you return go over all the items on your list before you leave making sure all repairs have been attended to. Preventing you from making a second trip because something was missed.

True story. I found M & N after being told by Midus it would cost $ 1400 to fix my car.
I had been going there for a while and always felt like I could trust this Midus location.
After realizing I couldn’t afford their fix, I had to find another solution.
I came across M & N Auto driving through the neighbourhoodI lived in at the time.
I figuered why not. I come in, and at first I feel like this place is iffy. it’s small and greasy (but hey what car joint ain’t). Anyway, they say they’ll take a look at it and do very quickly. He tells me 700 to fix. I was like WTF? Thives at Midus. Thives.
Anyway, I don’t have all the cash and have to go figuer out a way to get the last $ 200 I need and these guys at M & N are good enough to start the work knowing I’m still short.
Anyway, it’s later that same day and I arrive back with all the cash ($ 700 bucks).
And the guy that owns the place is like, «My friend where have you been?» To which I replied, «Getting your money» Haha To which he replied you needed all that time to get $ 70 bucks? To which I replied, «HUH ?
As it turned out, it was something completely different and very simple to fix.
He took my $ 70 cash, think I tipped him another $ 20 and thanked him for his brutal honesty.
These guys are great at what they do, are understanding caring humans not out to make souly a buck. As most are. Your vechicle and trust is in great hands with M & N Auto.

This auto shop is very helpful, I tried to install a starter in my car and like most home repairs go I did it incorrectly. I took my car here knowing there was a brake fluid leak and hoping they could fix my starter issue aswell. They not only fixed the brake leak but fixed and showed me what I did wrong on installing my starter. They are very affordable as well, would recommend to everyone.

I picked M&N for their high success rate for AirCare inspections. I failed for some reason the first time I had to take my car through. Nadim was able to find the problem, fix it and then had one of his staff take my car out and recalibrate the settings. Finally, they actually took my car through the AirCare inspection for me. I passed with no problem and was pleased that the repairs were reasonably priced.
M&N Auto Repairs is where I’ll take my care the next time I need repairs.

We first went to M&N to get our car through BC Air Care. They managed to help us pass with flying colours and we’ve been going back ever since. They’re honest, well-​priced, and trusty. We’ve even had them suggest cheaper ways of doing things, and they’re not all about the up-​sell. Very good guys, and good work. Perfect if you’ve got a second-​hand car.

If you’re a girl and you’ve got an older car, then this is the place to take it. All of my girl friends take their well loved (aka 5^th hand motors) here. They seem very fair and let you know in simple language what needs to be done. I readily admit that I don’t know too much about cars but I took in my 1996 VW Golf last week and it’s now running like a dream. The team were polite, efficient and quick. Labour and Parts didn’t break the bank either.

I have had two opportunities this year to experience the service at M&N Auto, and both times have been very impressed. So impressed, in fact, that I was inspired to write my first review EVER about them.
The owner of M&N is Nadim, and he is the one I’ve dealt with on both occasions. He’s a very friendly guy, and seems extremely knowledgeable. The first time I needed to have a repair in order for my car to pass Air Care, so I looked on the Air Care website at the list of authorized mechanics. M&N was the only one with a 100% success rate (meaning that ALL of the cars that they repaired passed Air Care when retested). After this repair job (my car needed a new catalytic converter) the guys at M&N even took it to the Air Care facility for retesting themselves, saving me a considerable drive & time. It’s not often we see service like this these days, and I think it should be appreciated when it does happen.
This week I had to take my car in again. It was having problems starting, even after I had replaced the battery. I had called BCAA earlier in the week to get it going one day & that guy said it sounded like the starter. When I dropped it off to M&N Nadim listened to me describe the symptoms & that I had been told it was the starter. He said that it’s possible, but he thought it could be a faulty ground somewhere, which it turned out it was. What a relief, since repairing the ground was about ¹⁄₃ of the cost of a new starter!
I highly recommend trying M&N next time you need service for your car! The only reason I gave 4* rather than 5 is because their shop is small, a bit hard to see as it’s tucked back from the sidewalk beside a bigger building, and is a bit messy. But don’t let appearances fool you!
M&N is friendly, honest, fast & very reasonably priced.
