★★★★★
The photos of my brake pads arrived before I had finished my coffee. Clear price, no pressure, and the car was ready when they said.
★★★★★
I said no to the cabin filter and they simply noted it for next time. That is the whole reason I came back.
★★★★★
Hana found a corroded ground strap that two other shops missed. One visit, one repair, and the light has stayed off.
★★★★★
Care+ pays for itself with the tire changeovers alone. They text when it is time and the storage is spotless.

Questions
Good questions, straight answers.
Something else on your mind? Call (647) 555-0101 — a person answers.
Do I need an appointment?
Booking holds a bay and a technician for you, so most visits are finished the same day. We take walk-ins for oil services and tire changeovers when a bay is free — call ahead and we will tell you the wait.
How will I know what my car needs?
You get a text with photos, measurements and a price for each item, marked urgent, soon or fine for now. Nothing is done until you approve it, item by item.
Will servicing here affect my new-car warranty?
No. You can have your car maintained at any qualified shop. We follow your manufacturer’s schedule, use parts that meet its specification and keep the records for you.
What does your warranty cover?
Parts and labour on our repairs for 24 months or 40,000 km, whichever comes first. It is printed on every invoice.
Can I wait while you work?
Yes, for jobs under about two hours — there is coffee, Wi-Fi and a desk. For longer jobs we drive you anywhere within 5 km, or arrange a loaner.
Do you work on hybrids and electric cars?
Yes: brakes, tires, suspension, 12-volt batteries, cabin filters and A/C, by technicians trained for high-voltage safety.
Is the diagnosis fee credited?
Yes. The $149 check-engine diagnosis comes off the repair when you have us fix what we find.
Book a visit
Book in under a minute.
Tell us about the car and what it is doing. We call back within the hour, in business hours, to confirm a time — and you will know the price before you hand over the key.
