One of my best friends as a teen and into my twenties was a mechanic, so I typically don't trust mechanics for a good reason, especially if they have ever worked at Canadian Tire. However when I moved to the area and was looking around for a place to get my car repaired Sam's Garage came highly recommended. I tried a few other places as I did hear they were expensive, but soon gave them a go when my engine blew. They took great care of me and made me feel that I could trust them. I've used them ever since and they are always letting me know what needs to be done and what I can let go.
If you are looking for a place and guys to trust, this is the place.
