The best shop in town, courteous, professional and worth every penny 👌 fixed my jeep without blinking an eye.

I had my truck towed to north bay. I was camping up north. True-Centre Auto Service helped me out to get my truck fixed and get me back on the road so that I could drive home instead of pay for a hotel. Sam did a great job finding the most affordable quality parts. They even provided me with a vehicle to drive while mine was out of commission. Not many places do that and treat people with the care and concern that we recieved here. Thanks True-Centre Auto Service.

Ashley B-L Jul 7, 2025

I brought in my car for an alignment and they made the repairs without trying to up sell for alleged worn front end parts like some other places. Car drives good and happy with the service.

Gaetan Desrochers Jul 7, 2025

I was driving through North Bay when my car's check engine light came on. I contacted an auto service right away, and they quickly found a spot for me. They diagnosed the issue promptly and carried out all the necessary repairs professionally. I really appreciated their help with transportation — it was a big support. I would especially like to recognize the service advisor, Joe, for his personal attention and support throughout the process. Great job, guys — thank you so much!

True Centre is my go to auto care center. Always details with photos and explanation of any repairs or recommendations suggested. Customer service is second to none. Which is getting harder to find.

Alex Rochon-Terry Jul 7, 2025

Had a slow leak in tire upon passing through North Bay. Fortunately I saw the True-Centre Auto Service sign from the highway. Pulled in at 4:30, desperate as they closed at 5pm. Joe was amazing and said yup well fit you in. So absolutely grateful. Tire was fixed quickly and we were back on our way. Every staff member that we had contact with was absolutely amazing. Seriously I haven’t experienced such great service in a while. Thank you.

What will it be Today Jul 7, 2025

Had a small exhaust leak that was getting louder and called True Center...they booked me in right away, dropped the car off and the issue was fixed right away and the price was very reasonable. Thanks for the quick repair! Will definitely be back!

Aiming to always make the customer experience top priority! This review responds to the review bellow from Paula Bishop. All mentions regarding the vehicle were spoken about and documented on inspection before the vehicle was driven and during the work requested to be performed. We apologize to whom it may concern that you are dissatisfied with the vehicle needs. We are very transparent so we are sorry your vehicle is in need of repair.

I had excellent service getting my car certified from Quebec to Ontario. Everyone was helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. They even helped me out by installing my front plate as I did not have holes for installing it. Sam was amazing and informative in all the procedures and updates. I even was able to enjoy a cream soda slushy in the waiting room! They will definitely be my mechanics from this point on. A1 SERVICE ! Thank you ( all the team ) for a great service

Mary Parks Jun 6, 2025

Got my engine change done at True Centre. Excellent and timely service. Friendly staff. Overall it was a great experience.

Jijo Joseph Jun 6, 2025

I have no hesitation in giving True-Centre Auto a 5-star rating. I first took my vehicle in to have the air-conditioning fixed and they were great to deal with. Since then, they’ve worked on my vehicle when other problems have arisen. Communication with the customer is excellent. And the little extras they provide are appreciated. I would definitely do business with them again.

Judith Topham Jul 7, 2023

OMEZUE UJU Jun 6, 2025

mattpeters2003 Jun 6, 2025

This place is incredible, and I'm so happy I was told to go here. I had an embarrassingly loud car all of a sudden, and went to a dealership and was advised it'd be $1,500 for a new part. Fortunately they suggested to try this place, and I'm so glad I did. They got me in within 2 days, did a weld repair to the part (instead of replacing the whole part), and it only cost me about $180. They also did a complimentary inspection, and noticed some important things that I had no idea about. The staff were extremely friendly and they explained the inspection and repair to me in a really helpful way. They also have a wicked slushy machine while you wait hehe. Thank you for saving me so much money, and also making it such a good experience.

Katie O'Hearn Jun 6, 2025

Once again True-Centre Auto has come to my rescue. When coming in with engine issues they were able to fit me in and find and fix the problem. Always friendly and welcoming with a brilliant staff ready to get to it. This will always be my go-to place, always a great experience.

Timmy Octave Jun 6, 2025

Great Staff who go the extra mile to be sure you’re satisfied.
