THANK YOU 🙏Posted on Karen BrownTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just want to say that this shop has the best employees and service. I have had an absolutely crap year with a car I recently bought. They installed an engine for me in May and recently a front axle part. They are extremely professional and proficient, plus they follow up and if you feel something isn't right encourage you to take it right back in. They honestly go above and beyond to explain things, let you know what's coming up and most importantly, not overcharge for things you don't currently need. They have stayed late and waited for me, a courtesy that is so not often extended these days. I honestly feel in the best of hands when I interact with these guys. My daughter recently started going here and she feels the same way. Their just good people. Thank you Arvids!Posted on samantha zwackTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris and the team are THE BEST! My son and I were 3000km into our road trip from Saskatchewan when my engine started misfiring. Unfortunately, I had dropped it off at the branded dealership and they mistook me for an idiot and tried to charge me for things I did not need and charged me for things that they broke. As soon as I called Chris at Arvid’s, he went above and beyond to ensure my vehicle was back up and running properly the same day, for far less than what the dealership tried to charge just to diagnose it! If you have any mechanical needs, bring it to Chris and you’ll be thankful you did!! Thanks again guys for getting us back on the road and home safely!
