The Cliche of Car and Motorcycle Repair (and Why We're Different)
Let's face it, the vehicle repair service industry has a brutal reputation... like really bad... like so bad that it's become a cliche... even more cliche than when a person being chased in a horror movie is now unable to start their car (shoulda came to see us first, btw) while an axe wielding weirdo walks up to their now unreliable vehicle.
The thing about cliches though, and why they even are cliches in the first place is because there is some truth to them. In this case, your vehicle was running fine five minutes ago and is now unable to start... and instead of an axe wielding weirdo coming to get you... you are stuck with a shirt and tie salesman, wielding stale coffee breath and aggressively holding his clicky-pen for you to sign a piece of paper with your name and a bunch of big expensive numbers on it. Honestly, you'd have been better off going with the toothless redneck mechanic that lives in a van down by the river... word is he lost his teeth trying to suck a potato out of an exhaust pipe. Not sure I even want to know how he got into that situation. Anyway... I've taken this horror metaphor way further than I had intended, but we still get to our Final Destination (see what I did there?). Car repair in Edmonton doesn't have to feel like a horror movie with you playing the main character.
Why Dual-Ticketed Mechanics Matter
Dual-ticketed means that we are certified and trained to work on both automotive repairs and motorcycle repairs. Cars. Trucks. SUV's. Fleet Equipment. Motorcycles. Quads. Food Trucks. You name it. It's all the same to us. Same grit. Same service. Same honesty. Our highly trained mechanics can tackle even the toughest jobs (seriously, your dealership probably sent your car to us to fix it and then said they did it themselves.) We get the job done.
Free Second Opinions (Because Trust > Sales)
We offer free second opinions on auto repair and motorcycle repair in Edmonton. No obligations, just come in and we will let you know if the repair work you were quoted is actually accurate to the potential repair work needed to be done. It's simple.
