An awesome job on my 1957 Chev bel air....they did a LS swap from start to finish. Out with the old carburetor motor and install the new fuel injection motor. Also converted the car to power steering and power brakes. Sean the owner and Chris a employee did a excellent job with this build. Well done guys, can’t wait to show this car off to all kinds of people.

After trying several different shops in town we found a wonderful recommendation for Carline through Facebook 6 years ago and decided to give them a try. Wow are we glad we did! Sean and his staff are consistently friendly, knowledgeable and professional. He takes the time to explain the problem(s) and his recommendations. Invoices are detailed and very fairly priced. I would not hesitate to encourage more people to take their vehicles to Carline, their service is excellent!

I went there for an easy hitch install that I provided to them. They then told me they would give me a quote before starting any work. I didn’t receive a quote and was then charged 300$ for labour when the bill states the work should be done in an hour, I was charged 509$ for the harness wiring and hitch installation. 5 bolts and wiring in the harness as i was told took over 3 hours together with a “professional” doing it. I then contacted them and was told I would be contacted about the pricing and the breakdown of how they thought 140$ an hour was acceptable. Never got contacted back. Stay clear from Carline in Alliston they will take advantage of you and make it your problem when they overcharge you. Update - Was contacted by Carline about a week or two after I was told I’d be contacted with a call from the owner. Talked to the owner, Shawn, and he ended up telling me he would look into it and contact me within a couple of days. Still waiting over a week later, with no call back at all. Definitey recommend going to other places over Carline Alliston as they will take advantage of you any chance they get, with no effort to resolve customer concerns. Disappointed with the lack of follow through throughout the entire process.

The integrity of the manager and his crew is most impressive. I could not be more satisfied. I was treated with complete respect and attention to what was best for me .... my car ..... and my bank account. I completely recommend this local business. Why would you go anywhere else ?

100% THE best exhaust guys in town! I've had them do fully custom exhaust on 3 of my trucks. I was a little concerned on the price but they walked me through the whole process of the quote. The way they did the quote process was perfect. They gave me the quote as if EVERYTHING went wrong, so the price they gave me would only go down from there. (And it did). Id rather pay a little bit more to have good quality work that's good for life, rather than hacking off exhaust myself. HIGHLY recommended, Always impressed with their custom exhaust work. Called me when the parts came in. Gave me a rough idea of when it will be done. And called me when it was all done. Way to go guys!

Booked an appointment to have my 2010 Audi A5 muffler/resonator delete looked at for March 26/21 (they needed to see the car before quoting). In the meantime, I went elsewhere to have the exhaust completed sooner. Rather than cancel the appointment at Carline short notice, I called and spoke to Chris and advised him that I no longer needed the exhaust looked at but needed to diagnose a headlight issue as to whether the bulb or ballast was broken as it was working intermittently. They said no problem. I had just completed a full overhaul on the car myself (new bumper/grille/taillight tint/chrome delete) and know exactly how long it takes to remove the bumper and headlights. They took the car in and switched the headlights to see if in fact the bulb or ballast was broken. Chris then came out and told me that it was the bulb, the part was on the way and that it would cost $400. I told him absolutely not, the bulbs were $35 for a pair on amazon and I would order and complete the job myself. He seemed very upset and told me he would have to charge me half an hour for labor. I said no problem and waited for the car to be brought out. Mechanic brought the car out and said I owed $141.25. I voiced my displeasure at the cost, said it was excessive but paid the invoice and asked that a copy be forwarded to my email. When received, it did not state that I was charged a half an hour as previously discussed. I attempted to email them for clarification but received zero response. If I had wanted to be ripped off I would have taken it to the Audi dealership. The best part is that the mechanic didn't even bother to put the headlight back in-I went from having a headlight that worked most of the time to now I have no left headlight and risk getting a ticket from the police. Do yourself a favour and go elsewhere. Update: Replaced both headlight bulbs for $33. Took 15 minutes to remove the 3 screws and slide out the headlight casing. Also replaced the fog light bulbs for $27.

Not bad, seems friendly mechanics. First time with this new group of mechanics. I didn't actually get tired replaced as recommended. I will visit again. Prices appear competitive. Seems like appointment turnaround time was efficient.
