Preventative maintenance will extend the lifespan of your vehicle and will save you money, and maybe even your life. There’s no sense in waiting for something to go wrong before looking at it. Bring your vehicle into True Centre Auto Service at regular intervals for preventive maintenance, and our skilled and professional technicians will sort out any issues that might be coming or which you have not yet noticed. Our preventive maintenance measures include:
Cooling System Flush
Your cooling system needs to be flushed regularly to guarantee that it is operating at maximum capacity. If not, your engine is at risk of overheating, which could lead to you being stranded on the side of a highway.
Brake Flush
Your brake lines need to be flushed to ensure that your brakes are operating at their peak capacity. Regular brake flushes are an integral aspect of preventive maintenance because without them you are risking your own safety and that of other drivers and pedestrians.
Power Steering Flush
Your power steering also needs to be flushed. If you never get a power steering flush, your ability to steer will gradually decrease and become more difficult. This will make driving increasingly unpleasant and even dangerous.
Spark Plug
Without working spark plugs, you’re not going anywhere. Your spark plugs are required to start your engine, so they’re pretty important. As such, you should have them inspected and replaced regularly.
Factory Approved
We only use factory approved instruments and parts to make sure your vehicle is up to code.
Fuel Injection
Fuel injection is what introduces the gas into the engine. If your vehicle’s fuel injectors are not up to snuff, you may not be able to drive at all.
Vehicle safety certifications
We will ensure that your automobile meets all vehicle safety certifications, thus keeping you safe on the road and in the eyes of the law.
Exhaust System
Your exhaust system must be working properly to avoid engine trouble. To have a certified technician examine your exhaust system, call us today.
Muffler
You don’t want to be driving down the street and waking up the whole neighborhood with an awful coughing, spluttering sound. Don’t be that guy; get your muffler inspected every so often to avoid an embarrassingly loud ride.
Catalytic Converter
The catalytic converter is an emissions control device which reduces the toxicity of pollutants. As such, it is a key component in making sure your vehicle meets environmental standards.
If you want to keep your car humming along, make sure you visit us for preventative maintenance!

Fast, friendly, and honest service! I brought in my GMC Terrain in to have a tire pressure sensor replaced, the pricing was very fair. The waiting room was clean and comfortable, with refreshments available—and even a heated toilet seat, hee hee! 😄 It’s the little touches like that that show how much they care about their customers. I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend! PS: even a pack of gum was left in the vehicle as recognition. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had a great experience at True-Centre. They turned what could have been a really bad day into a good one. I was basically stranded with my truck and needed to be somewhere. They helped me by getting me up and running in no time. I really felt fortunate to have come across this shop. Kudos to Crystal and Shawn. You saved my bacon. I am very grateful.

Great communication. Even though I booked an appointment online, they followed up with a phone call to discuss details about the service (transmission fluid change). It ended up being cheaper than quoted due to less fluid being replaced. I can feel the difference.

Just posting my review from facebook to google.
2000% recommend!!!! By far the BEST service I have ever received from a shop!!!! They truly take pride in caring for their customers and their vehicles. They are very thorough in their inspections of vehicles. They also provide pictures and videos. As someone who needs & wants to know everything about her vehicle this is great! They are very transparent about EVERYTHING!!!
Kaylee, the service manager has gone above and beyond for me. She's very personable and understanding and very knowledgeable as well. Shawn was the mechanic who worked on my vehicle, and although I didn't speak with him personally he took great care of my van for me. I did meet one of their other mechanics named Cody, who took me for a drive in my van because of a concern I was having and upon him driving it, he was able to notice what I was noticing. The folks at true centre definitely know their stuff. If you are looking for an honest, trustworthy shop with excellent customer service, look no further! These are the people that you want working on your vehicle.
Hands down the best place to go!

We were travelling on hwy 69 and broke down. We decided to have the truck towed to True Centre in North Bay as it was highly recommended to us by family. Not knowing what to expect we were told it was an electrical problem which was easily diagnosed and repaired by Cody in a day which was important to us as we were travelling. Shout out to reception for updating us as soon as possible on the repairs that were done. Now we will be recommending True Centre to others. Prices were very reasonable and service was very friendly and honest by all. I would definitely recommend True Centre if you are tired of dealers rates. Thank you Alex and entire team for making this a great experience.

Very friendly staff, especially Crystal and their fantastic manager Kaylee. Easily the best automotive repair shop that I've visited in the North Bay area.
Complimentary loaner vehicles are available, free shuttle service in town, and there is even a slushie machine and other complimentary drinks and snacks in the lobby. What more could you ask for?

Through these doors walk a dedicated team of individuals, is just not enough to describe the team at true centre. The dedication that is clearly shown in each individual screams volumes in my eyes. From the front counter to the back shop. It's a family feel. Your at home. Come in sit down with them and you truly experience excellent service. I can't say enough good things about the team here. This has to be the best team in town and I truly wouldn't go anywhere else. Thanks again true centre. Till next time. ❤️

I had a great experience with Alex during my car purchase. He was extremely knowledgeable and helped me inspect the vehicle from a mechanical point of view before I made my decision. He carefully checked the engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, and other important components, explaining everything in a way that was easy to understand.
His honest advice gave me confidence that I was making the right choice, and he never rushed or pressured me. If you’re buying a used car and want someone who genuinely looks out for your best interests, I highly recommend Alex. His expertise and attention to detail made the whole process much less stressful.

True-Centre is now my go-to garage. They work well with my warranty and do a lot of the heavy lifting concerning insurance and coverage of work. I also really appreciate the diagnostic report being emailed to me, so I have a clear picture of what is going to need work and what should be prioritized.
I love that they loan a car out to you if you need work on your vehicle but need transportation; this has been a life saver for me as I drive to Temiscaming and back everyday. The mechanics also have no issue explaining things if needed and a HUGE shout-out to Kalee as she's been a huge help in figuring stuff out for my car with scheduling and warranty coverage. The waiting room also offers complimentary beverages; hot or cold. Their prices are a little higher than average garages in the area, but factoring in how smoothly things go with servicing, I don't mind paying a little bit more. They are a business, after all, and have to pay their employees.
