Dave is an excellent mechanic, got my 2016 elantra serviced there for nearly 3 years without any issues
I need an oil change for my chevrolet Malibu and I called the minit-tune north road location. I talked to the manager and ask for pricing. He said the oil change and 180 inspection will cost roughly $500. I asked him to why its expensive and he said nowadays if i go to any car delearship oil change will cost me around $600 for basic oil change only and no inspection. They were charging me way over price. #overprice
Dave was incredible to deal with and very helpful. He was quick to respond, and book me in to get my brakes repaired.He went out of his way to make sure I knew exactly what was happening at all times and explained what needed to be done and why.I will be back for future repairs and I recommend you all ask for Dave!Thanks Dave!
I have been a customer of Minute Tune on North Road in Coquitlam for over 5 years. Dave, the owner of the franchise, had always done decent work in the past, so I had stuck with him, even bringing other customers to him. He recently repaid my loyalty this last year by replacing parts in my vehicle for which he had not sought permission. My Versa had a clutch issue. Dave had fixed it by replacing the part ($300). 2 months later, the same problem resurfaced. I took it back to Dave and left it with him. He later called and said the car was ready. He had to replace the same part, and also charged another $1700 for additional work he said was necessary. He never contacted me to get permission for this work. He had to take the front end apart in order to fix a flywheel and transmission problem. When the car was returned, the front end groaned and complained at every stop and start. He said it just needed to settle and would be fine after a few weeks of driving. That was 3 months ago, and today the car sounds like it is about to break apart while driving. I went to see him about it. He said the suspension was upset when he had to disassemble the front end. Nothing he could do about it - not his fault. Oh yeah, when it was returned, it also had a fuel injection issue as the car now revs very high in between gear shifts. Dave also claims there is nothing he can do about it even though he admits he adjusted it in order to deal with an engine light that was on. Dave, in my opinion, you are a poor mechanic, and I also question your intelligence in that you seem unable to gasp that your work has caused me further expenses above and beyond the initial cost of repair. Be very aware of Minute Tune on North Road, folks!
I had an appointment in the morning for a simple oil change and tire rotation. When I got there I was told my car won't be ready until the end of the day because they're so busy. I got back at closing time and they didn't even touch my car yet. Dave changed my oil an hour after their closing time on a Saturday. However, he was apologetic and gave me a nice discount. They really need to work on their customer service.
I paid almost$1350 for new brakes all around. The high frequency squeal was a free add-on. When I called Dave to set up an appointment to have them re-adjusted as you are supposed to do with new brakes ( and which he had told me to do) he said that wouldn't be necessary; brakes would be fine. I mentioned the constant squealing and Dave said I needed to drive it more. So I did and after over 6000 km they were still squealing. Took it back to Dave this week. He said he put something on them to stop the squealing but it is the same as it always has been.He also changed the oil in another of my vehicles and I told him it is leaking in my drive way. Dave said that was just residual from the oil change and it would stop. Yeah, it stopped some months later when I took it to another garage for another oil change.I have other horror stories but I see his business is closing soon so why bother.And how does he get those "Voted Consumers Best" stickers EVERY year?
