B	Bob Strome on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amir is a very honest local businessman. He stands behind his work and is fair & honest. I live in the neighbourhood - and he is a welcome member of our local community. Negative reviews posted here should be disregarded - just not true...
B	Bruce Carr on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I agree with most of the reviews below. This guy is a crook! Living a few blocks away I have returned to "Ameur" The Mechanic a few times for various repairs. For me, it was convenient and easy. Each and every time, a day or so after a repair, a very mysterious noise or boom or bang or squeal noice surfaced. When returning to question the issue - Ameur without really looking would magically diagnose an expensive problem. I feel that he is dishonest and is very rude and intimidating when asked questions. I've been working on and fixing cars longer than he has and can recognise when I'm being taken (unfortunately it took me a couple of visits this time). I do not recommend letting him touch your car as you will be stuck paying him for mysterious repairs indefinitely.
A	Adamo Ruggiero on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This guy's a crook. Soon as I walked in the door (he saw me pull up) and I asked for an oil change, he said my oil change will cost $100 bucks. I've been changing oil in my car for 10 years, regular oil, at about $35 to $40. When I called him out, he panicked and called "Volkswagen" who I'm pretty sure was his buddy reaffirming me it's $100 bucks. Slick moves buddy, but no dice. When I called BS and said no to the service, he pretty much kicked me out. Classic behaviour from a crook who gets called out. Stay away !!!
A	Anastasia on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ He’s genuinely interested in what he’s doing, no matter how busy he’d give you all the time you want. Okay so I cane in because my radio wasn’t working for a while, the guy literally changed the “audio” fuse and the stereo was on. He was busy there were 5 cars in the garage and still gave me time without asking for a single penny.
B	Bill Ure on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amer is very very honest. II have been going here for 12 years and he has taken care of my 1979 Fiat Spider, Toyota Avalon , now my Subaru Outback. He will tell exactly what you need not want the dealer says you should do. If you want honesty and completeness ( He is You Man ) It is not the fast service but the honest service. I have saved thousands of dollars over the years.
B	Bernard Daly on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I brought my car into The Mechanic because my engine light was on. The Mechanic insisted that he would get the job done in under two days and quoted me a price of just over $600. When I returned to him and picked up my car not only was I charged almost $300 more than the initial quote without consent, but about two hours later my engine light turned back on. I brought my car back once again to have it fixed and again left only to have my engine light turn back on at the end of the same day. A couple of days later I visited a different mechanic to fix my engine problem. The new mechanic was sceptical that any of the parts had been installed / fixed, and when I spoke to The Mechanic at the shop once again over the phone he admitted to only having installed one out of the three quoted parts. I would not recommend going to this mechanic unless you want to be overcharged, stolen from, and then aggressively confronted when you question him on the work that was completed. Please avoid coming here at all costs.
B	Brad Walker on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Wow! Never had a more rude call. I had a very specific question about replacing a 2010 Chevy Cobalt Front Axle Seal on the passenger side and what the ballpark price would be. He angrily told me he "wasn't selling potatoes" and hung up after 45 seconds. Other garages happily answered, took a few minutes to discuss and gave me a rough estimate. I totally understand the other 1 star reviews. As someone who lives in the hood, this is one neighbour who will be going elsewhere.
L	Lea Konforte on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I strongly warn you against using Amir's services: he was agressive towards me, held my car hostage and forced me to pay him $40 dollars even though he did not change my tires as that was the reason I brought in my car. I had to call the police and report this incident.
