They did good job fix my car!

Charlie Lefebvre Mar 3, 2026

As usual, another great experience with True Centre. Service was incredibly friendly, they took the time to answer all of my questions without making me feel like a bother, and I had my car back in record time! I recommend the team at True Centre to everyone!

Jessica Ouellette Mar 3, 2025

They got me in very quickly and did a good job. They also explained everything about the process. My daughter was impressed that they left a goodie bag in the car. We have another vehicle to safety and will go back.

Andrea Havercroft Feb 2, 2026

Very open in communication and received a text from the Auto tech to see the major and minor repairs

Paula Nakogee Feb 2, 2026

Very efficient, courteous and knowledgeable group of people, Sam is the best. They identify a problem quickly and advise you of solutions. No pressure to do anything. I really like that.

Ed Bertrand Dec 12, 2021

The staff were nice, accommodating, and honest. They clearly explained what the problem was with the car, and the price was fair. Overall, a great experience. Highly recommended!

Charmaine Villanueva Feb 2, 2026

I was looking for a local garage after becoming unhappy with the service I had been receiving at the dealership. I found True Centre through Google and, based on the strong reviews, decided to give them a try. I needed several things done (front brakes, oxygen sensor, and an axle repair), and I was not disappointed. All of the work was completed in a timely manner and at a fair price (significantly better than the dealership). The staff were friendly, helpful, and easy to deal with. During a road test, they identified an additional issue I wasn’t aware of and had it fixed the same day. Overall, they came across as honest and trustworthy. I can confidently say I’ve found the garage I’ll be using going forward.

Nathan Woodruff Feb 2, 2026

Great shop! Called around and no one could get me in till the following week, these guys got me in the next day and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Great company with even better customer service

Trent Harriman Jan 1, 2026

So so happy with the work they did on my car. 10/10 would recommend them to anyone. Loved the convenience of having a loaner car as well. :)

Taliah Blanchette Jan 1, 2026

my wife and i needed some exhaust work done. I am on oxygen and they let me plug in and wait. It was a very good job and my car sounds like brand new .i recommend these people to everyone. A definite 5 star .

jacque ranger Jan 1, 2026

Very no-nonsense auto shop that will get you in quick! Very happy with the service I received from them 👏

Edward Jan 1, 2026

This was an incredibly memorable repair experience. They thoughtfully prepared a backup car for me in advance, considering the distance I had to travel. The staff at the shop were always patient, smiling as they addressed my questions, even though I repeated many of them several times. This is a trustworthy place—arriving here feels like meeting an old friend or coming back home. It was truly an excellent repair experience.

Stephen Ge Jan 1, 2026

Brake failure happened just before new year, never been to Ttue-Centre Auto Service but they were open. Didn't promess me anything but offered to take vehicle in and look at it. Few hours later I had cost of repairs and pictures showing me the defective parts. Excellent service, professional people all the way.

Gaetan Lord Jan 1, 2026

Had a couple of visits to True-Centre Auto Service and the service continues to be respectful and helpful. Buying a used vehicle sometimes can be stressful as you are unaware if or what could go wrong. This happen to me twice and this centre made sure they found exactly what was wrong and communicated with me before they proceeded with a price expectation for repair. Thank you for your continued client focus service.

Claudette Lamothe Jun 6, 2023

I was having some confusing electrical issues with my car. Fixing one issue revealed another, and this happened a few times. At first I kind of thought I might be getting fleeced because I'm a woman and admittedly don't know much beyond the basics for that kind of thing. They were able to provide me with a loaner vehicle while the problems were sorted out and were able to clearly explain what they thought caused the failure, which helped clarify everything. By the time everything was said and done, the cost was reasonable, and the staff were pleasant to work with.

Bethany Stewart Jan 1, 2026

Very pleased with the work. Will be going back.

Brigitte Jan 1, 2026

Called because my muffler was broke and they got me in right away, did not over charge. Thank you True-Centre.

Tammy Dec 12, 2025

Paul Daigle Aug 8, 2025

Thanks Sam and team for the great service, Sam was kind enough to have the car inspect and fix the front end for me on short notice for my wife’s Honda CRV. The results were great and I appreciated the attention to detail. Great team to work with for your auto needs! Highly recommend!! Thanks John

Chris Major Dec 12, 2025

Great service, very friendly staff!

Pete Kelly Jul 7, 2024

Had some muffler work done with these guys a while back and they identified my worn muffler was still under warranty and honoured the warranty when the shop that originally did the work would not honour the warranty. Very easy to work with and the slushy machine is the cherry on top. Would highly recommended

Daniel De Dec 12, 2025

The besr service available. Started when booking an appointment till the end. Everything was explained clearly including pictures of the damaged parts. They also quoted different options and the urgency of the repair. I highly recommend. They make you feel at ease and not pressured. Sam is an amazing service advisor.

Stephen Holden Dec 12, 2025

True Centre team and service are exceptional! From the initial phone booking with Kaley, she was friendly and accommodating. Sam, the service advisor, is very knowledgeable and makes you feel comfortable as he guides you throughout your service visit. Jason, the Technician, is thorough in going above and beyond in ensuring your vehicle is safe and professionally taken care of. I had a great experience at this business and would highly recommend to anyone! When returning to my vehicle to leave, a heartfelt surprise was left for me that I have never had at any previous auto centre.They truely show how they appreciate your business and make you feel special.

Very friendly trusting company. I never worry leaving my vehicle as I know it's in good hands. Awesome service everytime.

Nicki Nov 11, 2025

True Centre not only took me in last min for my winter tires they were able to find me better tires. Along with their polite and helpful staff the shop notified me of a potential future issue that I needed to address right away for safety. Thanks for keeping me safe for my drives on these Northern Ontario hwys ( I average 40,000/year). I TRUST TRUE-CENTRE AUTO!

David Ottier Nov 11, 2025

Really fast turn around

Melanie Cookson Oct 10, 2022

very great service

Tar Ada Nov 11, 2025

Was able to get an appointment much quicker than expected. Vehicle was quickly repaired while I waited and was given a 42 point inspection which was not expected but greatly appreciated. Found two items needed repair and appointment was arranged within a week. Was offered a courtesy vehicle again not expected but will use. Estimated cost seems reasonable as compared to dealer price in fact $800 cheaper. Been going to garages for $45+ years never received a goody bag on way home. Will definitely be back

Les Wilson Nov 11, 2025

Superb customer service. Sam at the front desk very professional and helped me out-thanks man. Brought my vehicle in for warranty and they effectively worked out my problems with my vehicle and got my differential fixed. Thanks to the tech; I believe it was Shawn. I was also provided with a loaner car, not a lot of places do that so I do appreciate that. It was quite the costly repair so thank god it was covered. True centre definitely stands out on the inside aswell, place is sick!

Jeremy Meeuwse Nov 11, 2025

They are on the little bit of the high side for price but there service is good the people are nice and they did woek with me on a few things id recommend them

Hunter Barry Nov 11, 2025
