I had such a great experience with Downes Automotive! The team was incredibly friendly, kind, and genuinely helpful. They took the time to explain everything about my car in a way that was easy to understand. Not only were their prices very reasonable, but they also went the extra mile by offering me a ride home if I needed one. Their attentiveness and exceptional service truly stood out. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and professional automotive care!

If you're looking for an automotive shop that genuinely cares about its customers and their vehicles, I highly recommend Downes Automotive. You won’t be disappointed!

I booked to have a part installed that had been recommended by another mechanic. Downes mechanic looked at it and said it wasn't needed and the part that broke was cosmetic only. He saved me $500 in labour and the cost of the part (the latter I was able to return to the wreckers and receive a full refund.). Thank you!

Excellent service, was there for a pre-purchase inspection for a truck and they saved me an expensive transmission replacement. Professional and helpful, highly recommended.

This is a great shop, i had my car back the same day all fixed and did not try to over sell me on anything. They knew exactly what the problem was, fixed it and explained everything quite thoroughly. They came highly recommended and I was not disappointed. They will be my go to shop for any future repairs.

I can’t say enough good things about Downes Automobiles! I had been dealing with a persistent brake squealing issue for months, and after visiting multiple repair shops that either misdiagnosed the problem or couldn't fix it, I was starting to lose hope. Then I found Downes Automobiles. Sal and John took the time to thoroughly inspect my vehicle, quickly identifying the issue that others had overlooked. Their expertise was immediately evident, and they explained everything in a clear, professional manner. What really stood out to me was their commitment to customer service. They kept me updated on the progress of my repair, providing clear timelines and ensuring I understood what was being done. There were no surprises—just honest, reliable service from experienced professionals who genuinely care about their customers. If you’re looking for an auto shop that goes above and beyond, Downes Automobiles is the place to go. Their combination of technical expertise, professionalism, and customer-focused approach makes them the best in the business. Thank you, Sal and John, for turning what had been a frustrating issue into a smooth, stress-free experience. I’ll definitely be back for any future auto needs!

I recently had my 2008 Nissan Rogue in for a service, where myself and my car were treated top shelf. They also had to repair an issue I created on my F150 and they again stepped up and treated my truck like it was one of theirs. Highly recommend these guys!

Troy Whitton Mar 3, 2025

Excellent service and great communication. They walked me through all the concerns with my vehicle with no pressure.

monica schneider Mar 3, 2025

This business was recommended to me by a friend because of their straightforward and honest approach. I’ve taken my car into them twice and both experiences have been very positive.

Nancy Orlikow Mar 3, 2025

I had a fantastic experience with Downes Automotive! I called in last minute, hoping to get my car in for service the next day, and Sal who took my call was super easy to talk to and made it happen without any hassle. They even accommodated a time that worked best for me, which I really appreciated. The exceptional customer service didn’t stop there. John-operations manager followed up via phone with a detailed quote and took the time to explain exactly what was wrong with my wiper motor. What really set them apart was the convenience,they even provided a free Uber ride so I could get to the shop and pick up my car. That extra touch made the whole process smooth and stress free. If you're looking for an auto shop that’s reliable, professional, and goes the extra mile for their customers, I highly recommend Downes Automotive. Huge thanks to Sal and John for making this such a great experience!

These guys were great, they kept in contact with me every step of the repairs, offered options that would save money but also ensure a reliable high performance vehicle. I found it fantastic that Downes Automotive offers service on a wide range of vehicles including models that usually require visiting a very specific shop. I would recommend them to friends and family. Thanks Trevor and your team.

Great customer service. Fixed my car in a day! Highly Recommended.

The Kormans Jan 1, 2025

The mechanics at Downes are incredible. I received excellent customer service. All repairs were very well explained. BTW I had previously gone to the Mitsubishi dealership for the problem where they charged a lot for a diagnostic stating I needed a new muffler. Well that wasn’t the problem at all. It ended up being the front wheel bearing. Downes fixed the problem and more at a reasonable cost. I will continue to use Downes as my go-to mechanic. Thanks!

Louise Greene Jan 1, 2025

Amazing service and team. They are honest and very knowledgeable. They tell me what is essential to fix and why and what can wait. And they don’t overcharge. I’m so happy these guys were highly recommended to me.

Michelle Lylack Jan 1, 2025

Laura R Jan 1, 2025

My car was making a terrible noise, suspected rear brakes. The mechanic I've used for years has shut down his business, a friend suggested Downes. I went in without a call in advance and they quickly assessed the situation and repaired my vehicle in time for an evening appointment. I'm really thankful for your excellent service and will definitely be back for future servicing of my vehicle.

Sara Biggar Jun 6, 2024

Amazing team, honest good people that know what they are doing and willing to take the time so you are aware and leave knowing all is well as well as having better understanding of what the problems are and what is needed. Don't upcharge or try selling on things not needed. Wouldn't go to or recommend anywhere else since my experience with Downes Automotive. If I could give more than 5 stars I would they are amazing.

Anna-Lee Wright Dec 12, 2024

The team at Downes were very helpful with an incident my son had with a curb. They inspected the car for free and then, during the subsequent wheel alignment, helped us to find high quality used tires to replaced at tire that was damaged. Great communication, fair pricing, honest advice. Glad to find a trustworthy local shop
