Tools in Motion Auto Service

Great honest guys! They took care of me and fixed my car for a very reasonable price after I got ripped off huge by Varsity Chrysler.

From March 21, Calgary Herald:
While an impromptu act of charity might have only taken a day’s work and some wheeling and dealing for those who did it, the woman who received it is still astounded almost a month later.
Chris Restall, a Calgary mom battling breast cancer, took her car to Tools in Motion in Airdrie to get a coolant leak fixed with a $ 250 gift certificate she’d won.
But she walked away with almost $ 2,500 worth of work done, and wasn’t asked for a single cent of compensation.
She had already driven one car into the ground, travelling back and forth while sharing custody of her young son and getting to and from Foothills Hospital for cancer treatment, and she was well on her way to driving her latest ride, which only cost her $ 500 to buy, to a similar fate.
She just didn’t know how close she was — the guys at Tools in Motion spotted it.
«I live in my car — I need my car,» Restall said.
«I have responsibilities and without my vehicle that would just make my life so much more difficult.»
Tools in Motion fixed the leak. They also replaced the tires, the fuel pump, the front wheel bearings, the brake pads and rotors, and the power steering hose, and they aligned the wheels, calling up partners Auto Value Parts Store, NAPA Auto Parts and Tire Wholesalers along the way in their goodwill endeavour.
«They definitely went above and beyond. .. I was very shocked, and I was quite pleasantly surprised,» Restall said.
When she went to pick up the car, she said, the new tires were the first clues to what Tools in Motion had done.
«I didn’t know how to react, quite honestly — I wanted to cry,» she said.
«They were just lit right up with all the work they did. They were standing there, shoulder-​to shoulder, beaming. .. just smiling at me.»
Maybe Tools in Motion doesn’t want that money, Restall said, but thank-​you notes and baked goods are definitely in order after their act of kindness.

I have an unusual car. At 25+ yrs, they don’t make parts for her anymore, so getting her through OOP was quite the experience. These guys were helpful, did a great job, and after several months of hunting down a super rare part the install went brilliantly, they did what they needed to do and didn’t charge me an arm & a leg for it like anyone else might have considering the issues I faced bringing her into Alberta at that age. The engine heater issue was tricky, but they found a way to make it work. They’ve done some great work on D’s beater to keep it road-​worthy this winter, and they’re very friendly and knowledgeable guys. I’ll keep going back as long as I’m in the area, whenever my car needs something. It’s nice to find a good trustworthy mechanic so close to home.

Due to good reviews in Facebook and Google, I have my SUV repaired there last May due to a coolant leak and they said the radiator was done and needs to be changed. I paid about $ 800 for the repair.
After just under 2 months, the coolant was leaking again so I took the car back thinking that they’ll fix it with minimal charge under warranty. NOT! They wanted more money and said that the damage this time was unrelated and it will cost me another $ 300+ to fix it. I declined because I lost my trust to these guys. They still charged me almost $ 60 for just that.
Good luck in your decision if you want to use this shop. They want repeat customers… in a negative way for me at least. No repeat here for sure. and I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone I know.
