Repairs
Find the cause. Fix it once.
Brakes, suspension, check-engine lights, exhaust and A/C. Typical price ranges below, and an exact quote with photos before we touch anything.
Brakes
Grinding, a soft pedal, a pull to one side or a vibration when you stop. We measure pads and rotors, check the calipers slide freely and test the fluid for moisture.
- Pads only, per axle$229 to $329
- Pads and rotors, per axle$389 to $649
- Caliper, each$219 to $389
- Brake fluid flush$119
- Seized caliper slides, service per axle$99
Suspension & steering
Clunks over bumps, wandering on the highway or uneven tire wear. Barrie's spring potholes are hard on links and tie rods, so we check them at every inspection.
- Four-wheel alignment$129.95
- Sway bar links, pair$189 to $289
- Outer tie rod end, plus alignment$189 to $299
- Lower ball joint, each$249 to $429
- Front struts, pair, plus alignment$689 to $1,190
Check-engine diagnostics
A code tells us where to start, not what to replace. We test sensors, wiring and vacuum lines until we can show you the cause, then quote the fix.
- Check-engine diagnostic, first hour$129
- Electrical diagnosis, per hour$149
- Oxygen sensor, each$219 to $389
- Ignition coil, each$159 to $279
Exhaust
Louder than it used to be, a rattle from underneath or fumes in the cabin. Fumes are a fix-now item, and we will tell you so.
- Exhaust inspectionFree with any visit
- Hanger or clamp$59 to $129
- Flex pipe$259 to $429
- Muffler$289 to $489
- Catalytic converter$890 to $1,890
A/C
Warm air, a weak fan or a musty smell. We check pressures and look for leaks first, so a recharge isn't just topping up a system that will empty again.
- A/C performance check$89
- Leak test with UV dye$129
- Recharge, R-134a (most cars before 2018)$189 to $249
- Recharge, R-1234yf (most newer cars)$299 to $449
How our prices work
Ranges cover parts and labour for most cars and SUVs, before HST. Your quote is exact, comes with photos, and only changes if you approve the change. The diagnostic fee is credited toward the repair if you go ahead within 30 days.
What we send elsewhere
Collision and body work, and transmission rebuilds, go to specialist shops we trust in Barrie. We'll tell you why, give you our findings, and you're never charged for the referral.
Something not right?
Describe the noise or the warning light. We'll book a diagnostic and send you photos.
