Same garage, same street, half a century.

Larry Williams opened the shop on Quadra Street in 1975. Fifty-one years later the name on the sign is the same, and so is the idea: fix it right, charge fairly, tell the truth. Today new owners carry it forward, with Megan leading the shop.

What we do

Plain-English repairs.

What's wrong, what it costs, and what can wait.

  • Diagnostics

    Warning light or a strange noise? We find the real cause before we quote.

  • Electrical & charging

    Alternators, starters and batteries, tested first and replaced only if they need it.

  • Scheduled maintenance

    Oil, fluids, filters and inspections: the cheap way to avoid expensive repairs.

  • Brakes

    Squealing, grinding or a soft pedal. We'll tell you honestly how much life is left.

  • Tires

    Flats, repairs and seasonal changeovers for Victoria's hills and wet winters.

  • Second opinions

    Big quote elsewhere, or a repair that didn't fix it? Bring it in for a straight answer.

How we work

Zero trickery.

A customer's words. We made them the rule.

  1. 01

    No unnecessary upselling.

    We fix what's broken. If it can wait, we'll say so.

    “…get the job done without any unnecessary upselling.”

    Straight answers on cost.

    A fair price, and you'll know it before we start.

    “Great place quality work and fair prices.”

    Honest about what's wrong.

    Even when it means another shop got it wrong.

    “…proved the previous service from a different shop (who I will not name) was incorrect and they remedied the issue…”

Meet Megan

People don't usually name the owner in a garage review. They name Megan.

When Williams changed hands, long-time customers watched to see what would change. They got a shop that treats them kindly, tells them the truth, and charges a fair price. Now they send their friends.

And the shop answers its reviews personally.

“Send everyone you know to Megan because the people here will treat you kindly and get your rig up and running with ZERO trickery or bad vibes.”

“Honest, fair, and reasonable people. I have nothing but praise for Megan and all the mechanics. My daughter and I both go there and trust them with anything. My most recent experience proved the previous service from a different shop (who I will not name) was incorrect and they remedied the issue in a timely and reasonable manner.”
