My car was struggling and had a noise. I was able to bring it in the same day. Lots of attention was given diagnosing and testing and researching comparative issues w same model car elsewhere. Everything explained. I was billed only for a maintenance package including oil change, and the car is very happy now. Amazing!
I have a 2011 Ford Escape Hybrid. Roy did diagnostics for free and advised to contact Ford dealer due to ABS code. I went to a Jacobson Ford dealer, I was charged $133 for the diagnostic and estimated cost of repairs 4000! ABC module and if not fixed HCU I said no! Went back to Roy and asked him to flush the brakes, cost $116 on Dec 31. 500 km after, all is good. Can you imagine the clown in dealer shop estimated 4000 for repairs!!
Roy was very honest with us and explored a few options of fixing our car. Nice to be able to trust the mechanic. Will definitely come back if we have any other issues with the car in future!
Roy Edwards was very kind, saved me so much time and money. He created a solution when I was pretty sure there wouldn't be one, and he gave me advice on how and where to fix the problem when I encountered it again. If I'm ever in the area again and run into problems, I'll be coming back here.
We won't bother to look further for a trustworthy mechanic the next time we need service. Roy is amazing and definitely an oddball (in a good way!) in the industry, as it's hard to find someone who is honest these days. We thought we needed a new starter and upon inspection, it just needed tightening. He could have easily replaced it and charged us for the part and labour and we wouldn't have been the wiser... but he didn't. He got us in faster than expected too. A great guy and great service. Would totally recommend.
Highly recommend. I had an issue, he checked it for no charge. Made recommendations for the work to be done later (once I got back to Vancouver). They say finding an honest mechanic is hard, save yourself the work, go here.
My hubby and I have taken our vehicles to Roy for service and repair several times since we moved to Salmon Arm and have been extremely pleased with our experiences. Would recommend Roy to anyone looking for an experienced and honest mechanic.
Absolutely amazing service, so honest. Suggested going used instead of paying so much for a brand new part saved me over a thousand dollars. Very clear communication, got me booked in for the next day after I called, would recommend to anyone.
Another service provider advised we needed about $2,000 worth of repairs to the brakes on our late model INFINITY. Went to Minut-Tune for a second opinion. After removing all four wheels and inspecting all components Minut-Tune advised all was in good repair and no work was required. Our bill was $0 as they don't charge for diagnostics. We insisted to pay as the Minut-Tune advice was honest and saved us $$. I highly recommend this business.
I was scheduled to drive through the mountains in 1 day and my car started making a loud noise. Long story short, Roy agreed to look at my car, solved the problem, and I was still able to stay on schedule. So grateful!!!
I wish I could give more than a 5 star rating to Roy!I moved from Kelowna and I was less than stoked to have to find a new mechanic.Roy was awesome to deal with. He's realistic, listens to your concerns and he thoroughly explained my options and the pros and cons of each to me. He was accommodating to me leaving my car for an extra week as I was working out of town, which was super helpful. Roy is also super reasonable with price.
