Service was excellent!! Kept me in constant communication and let me know why my vehicle was acting up and kept me informed as they were performing work as well as how much things would cost. Great experience!!

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

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

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.

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.

I had a tough experience last week when they delayed the service on my vehicle and then did not perform the service properly. But to their credit, once management heard what happened, they contacted me immediately, appologized and offered to make things right. I went back yesterday, they fixed my vehicle properly and swiftly at no charge and loaned me vehicle while they were doing it. Good on them for admitting their wrong and rectifying it.

In a lot of venues, I’ve been at public service is not priority. This place puts your service first fast as possible. Very good place to go take your vehicle. You can trust them. keep up the good work guys and girls

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!

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

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

After an overnight stop in North Bay en route to Nova Scotia, my 1987 Toyota Van wouldn't start. My wife's Google search led us to True Centre. The CAA tow truck driver who brought us to True Centre validated our choice. A " peace of mind " inspection revealed brake and suspension issues beyond the loose battery terminal which prevented ignition. Monica at the service counter put her feelers out for parts, some of which were challenging/ nigh on impossible to obtain, especially on short notice. My wife, Skye, also contributed vitally to this search. Supplied with the necessary parts, Andre the mechanic really dug into the repairs and did first rate work. We are grateful for his care and interest in our 37 year old vehicle and made the rest of our journey to Nova Scotia without incident. Highly recommended!

Joe MacDonald Nov 11, 2025
In my opinion, best garage in town . Honest ,fast and friendly. No big sales push on stuff you don't need . A simple suggestion of options while they are in doing work
Bruce Bryan Nov 11, 2025
We found this company on Google while traveling through North Bay recently. We needed a "Peace of mind" inspection and an oil change. Our vehicle is a 1987 Toyota van. Post inspection, we learned that some parts were needed in order to continue our journey to Nova Scotia. Monica was VERY helpful sourcing our parts which is not an easy endeavor! She was professional and kept us informed as our van was being serviced. Andre, the mechanic, is very skilled and his enthusiasm is so appreciated. He repaired and serviced our van and we made it safely back to NS without incident. My husband and I both highly recommend True Centre Auto Service. I especially like the Post Inspection Report! It was concise, with pictures and comments from the mechanic who did the inspection. We are truely blessed to have found this company in our time of great need! Warmest regards, Skye
