Jimmy and the staff are very personable. They are honest and upfront with costs and repairs needed. They communicate and keep you informed on progress of the repairs. They have serviced all our vehicles for over 20 years. I have referred people to them. It’s hard to find reliable and trustworthy service nowadays. ATCO is definitely one of them. Highly recommend.

I totally trust ATCO to care for my vehicles! Just had a flat and expected to buy a new tire, but they repaired the puncture at a very low cost! They have always been honest and reliable. They deserve your business!

I have no problem paying for quality work. If a repair costs what it costs, that’s fine. I paid over $2,000 for brake and rotor service because my brakes were loudly squealing. After picking up my vehicle, the noise was still there. I returned the car so the issue could be corrected. It then sat at the shop for over a week. When I picked it up again, the brakes were still screaming — exactly as before. The explanation I was given was that I “don’t drive the car enough,” that it was “dust buildup,” or possibly “tire shine from car washes.” That explanation does not hold up. The vehicle was washed regularly long before the brake service without any squealing. The noise existed before the repair and remains after paying over $2,000. What is most concerning is that the vehicle did not appear to have been properly re-inspected. No meaningful corrective work was done. Spraying brake cleaner and offering surface-level explanations is not a repair. The tire pressure sensor issue I specifically asked to be addressed was also not resolved, despite being told it would be. I have experience working on vehicles and brakes myself. I chose to pay for professional service due to time constraints, not because I lack understanding. Being given explanations that do not align with basic mechanical reasoning feels dismissive and disrespectful. If a shop cannot resolve an issue, transparency goes a long way. What is unacceptable is charging for major work, allowing a vehicle to sit for over a week, and returning it in the same condition without clear accountability. Customers deserve honesty, follow-through, and work that reflects the amount paid.
