We bring the tools, the lift-free kit and the diagnostic scanner to your home, your
office parking lot, or the shoulder of the 401. No tow, no drop-off, no waiting room
with a coffee machine that's been out since Tuesday.
Family-run out of Etobicoke, working across the west end and North York since 2016.
Most jobs are finished in a single visit — you keep your keys, we hand you the old parts.
Under the hood on a Wilson Ave driveway, 7:40 a.m.

What we do at your address
Prices below are the typical all-in range for a GTA driveway call, parts included where noted.
Every job starts with a 15-minute look-over and a firm quote before we touch a wrench —
if it turns out to be something else, you hear about it before it costs you anything.

* Not listed? Call and describe the noise. If it's something we can't do
safely in a driveway — alignments, tire mounting, transmission internals — we'll tell you
straight and point you to a shop we trust.
03 How a call works
Three steps, one driveway
01
You call and describe it
Tell us the year, make, model and what it's doing — the noise, the light, the smell.
We'll give you an honest read on whether it's a driveway job or a shop job, and a
time window. Most calls are answered by a technician, not a call centre.
02
We come to the car
Our van carries a full hand-tool set, a professional scan tool, a battery load tester,
jacks and stands, and the common parts for your platform. You don't need to be home —
plenty of customers leave the keys with a neighbour or meet us on a lunch break.
03
You get the old parts and the bill
Nothing is replaced without your go-ahead on the quoted price. When we're done you get
the failed parts in a box, a written summary of what we found, and a 12-month warranty
on the work. Card, e-transfer or cash on site.
Factory-level scan tool — we read live data, not just the code.Brake work on a Rexdale driveway — pads, rotors and hardware, per axle.Load-tested before we sell you anything. Roughly half the "dead batteries" aren't.Under-car inspection — the clunk usually isn't the expensive thing.
04 Call-out & labour
What a visit costs before parts

06 Where we are
Based in North York, working the west end
1700 Wilson AveNorth York, ON M3L 1B2
This is our base and parts address — not a walk-in shop, so please call before dropping by.
We're a couple of minutes off the 401 at Keele, which is why Wilson, Jane, Weston and
Rexdale get the fastest windows.
Regular service area: Etobicoke, North York, York, Weston, Downsview,
Rexdale, Humber Bay, Islington, and along the 401 corridor. Mississauga, Vaughan,
Scarborough and Brampton by appointment.
Call or text (647) 499-4259. We book in two-hour windows and
text you a heads-up about 30 minutes out. Same-day slots open most weekdays if you catch
us before 10 am.
Have your VIN or plate handy — it saves us a parts run.
Please park somewhere we can work: level ground, not blocking a laneway.
Condos and underground garages: check with building management first.
We take card, e-transfer and cash on site. No deposit for standard jobs.
Reschedule free up to two hours before your window.
08 Straight talk
"If it doesn't need doing, we'll tell you it doesn't need doing."
That's the whole business model. We're not a shop with a lease to cover and a service writer
on commission — we're two technicians in a van who'd rather you call us again in three years
than sell you a flush you didn't need this month. Bring us the noise, the light, or the
thing the last place couldn't find.
