Thank you True-Centre! I don’t think my experience could’ve went any better!! The entire team is incredibly professional, honest and clear about what is happening and not to mention very good at what they do. Right down to the shuttle service they provide, I have nothing but good things to say! Highly recommend!!

Don Stoltz Dec 12, 2024

Good morning customers Just a quick plug for True centre Auto. These guys operate as a team .They help each other out and they help us as customers by giving us lengthy explanations which take time and patience. from my perspective, it’s much appreciated. I find the peace of mind inspection helpful once a year as it keeps me up-to-date with my vehicle and quite confident that I’m not going to break down on the long trip. I enjoy the friendly faces and the little perks. And I drive confident.

Ethan Michaud May 5, 2025

Had service break repair with true centre and it was really great experience with them as it was really critical issue on my car they allow me to go without appointment and did fix my car. And also fair service charge as compare to other’s.

Top notch service !! Didn’t have an appointment and my exhaust had a leak Went to the front counter and they where amazing right from the start to the finish Nothing but professional with all the people I talked to They searched the shit out of getting my truck a transmission flush as it’s a crazy price they tried to find a less expensive way to the point they called me the next day to let me know there wasn’t Great place 👍🏻

Staff is friendly and efficient I know I can trust the repairs The availability of a loaner car is a huge plus for me!!

margaret dittmann Apr 4, 2025

It was my first time at True Centre. I brought my truck there for a bumper to bumper inspection. They sent me a clear report of the work that had to be done, right to my phone! The staff were very friendly and knowledgable. Big thanks to Kaylee, Sam, Neil (a wealth of knowledge that man!) and Alex! It was a great experience and I will return for some more great service!

Marc-andre Cantin Sep 9, 2024

Repaired what I thought was unrepairable. Saved me money and was done quickly. Their exhaust expert is just that. The service was thorough and surprisingly detailed. Thanks.

Stephen Luyten Mar 3, 2025

Had my car serviced at True Centre Auto Service and I’m very happy with the work they’ve done on my car. They fixed a lot of problems that my car had and now my car is safe for the road. The staff and the mechanics are very professional, reliable and hardworking. Very convenient service too as they picked up my car and dropped it off at my place once the work was done. I highly recommend this car shop. For any future needs my car will have this is the shop I’ll most definitely be bring my car to. Thank you!

Abbie Mar 3, 2025

My car broke down on Thursday- my Papa’s celebration of life was on Friday- these guys went above and beyond to help me and my children so we wouldn’t miss it. Gave us a loaner car to travel further north -had my own car done before the end of the day-AND dropped it off to our hotel in north bay for me so I’d have it when I returned from the Celebration of Life. Beyond friendly, welcoming, and efficient. The tow truck driver who towed my car to their shop said “they’re good at what they do, you’re in good hands” and he didn’t lie. 12/10 miigwech True-Centre Auto Service.

I had a great experience at True Centre! My appointment started off on the right foot with Shane and it only got better from there. After delivering some not so great news about my vehicle - Shane was prepared with options and solutions to all my repair needs. He went above and beyond by helping me prioritize what needed to be completed first, find the most affordable yet safe parts, find repair financing assistance, and when I ultimately couldn't afford the repair at the time - he made sure I had all the information I needed to make my next decision already in my car for me! When I arrived to pick up my vehicle, my fob had died and the team were closing up. Shane and a few other staff whose names I unfortunately did not get, replaced my fob battery and stayed after close to make sure I was able to get my car running and get on my way before closing up. The team here are so kind and the definition of customer service! You can tell they care about what they do and notice the small things. I will recommend the angels at True Centre to anyone who will listen 😊

I just want to say a big thanks to the team at True-Centre. I recently brought my car in with an issue and though it was fairly complicated, the garage went above and beyond with getting it resolved for me. The whole shop was professional and exceeded my expectations.

Randy Cooper Feb 2, 2025

It was a good service experience. I was kept up to date on things my vehicle required and they didn't make up problems to gouge me. I appreciate their service. Thank you.

Nikki DaneDame Feb 2, 2025

Top notch service. I've used many shops in town and used to be in the automotive service industry for 12 years, True-Centre really succeeds where many many others fail. They provide the highest level of customer service, which is how they drive their success. Most places in town chase dollar metrics instead of voice of the customer KPIs, trying to get more and more hours per RO(repair order) which means the customers actual needs are always second to trying to sell them more work. More shops should follow True-Centres business model. I will be returning.

Tiller Feb 2, 2025

Professional

Bill Deering Feb 2, 2025

Another satisfying visit, It's the garage you leave feeling as good as your vehicle. Thanks again

Darcy Blanchette Feb 2, 2025

Drove my car in to get my clutch looked at first thing this morning. They covered the cab to go to work. Had the car ready by lunch time, and covered for my cab back. They were super communicative and unbelievably transparent with every little detail. Best service I have ever had in town, I won't be going anywhere else from now on!

Vince Galea Feb 2, 2025
