Yuille Auto Works

Came here for the first time based on other reviews that I had read. I stopped going to my car dealership for service because I wasn’t satisfied with the customer service and it seemed they were trying to get as much money out of my pocket as possible. However, I had a very positive experience at Yuille Auto Works — Jason, the person who was working at the front desk was extremely kind to me while I waited. I’m very satisfied with the service I received and I will not go to any other place for my future car services! Thanks for being a great business!

First I need to point out I did not get my car fixed here but am reviewing based on the helpfulness off the staff on the phone.
My car died and I needed to get my alternator replaced on a tight budget. I decided to purchase a 2^nd had part from a shop in turo to save on cost and then began the fun part of finding a shop to do the work. I had calles 26 places for prices and to see when I could get my car in. Jason or jamie at this shop gave me a price about the same as most places, time for work a little less then most places and went into explaining «if the belt is torn or something» I thought here we go but the part and time would only be 25 for the belt and I was priced more at other places. Jason or jamie also explained that there was no extra charge as the part wasnt purchased there which i didnt consider ans was priced more at other places becauae of this and then despite being blocked he offered to help and do the work sat then said he can do it fri between other appointments to get it to me quicker.
The only reason I didnt get my work done there is because my caa tow was used to bring my car home and I had no choice with the funds I have but to use a place just up the street here in halifax however I will remember this place for next time.

I am sooooooo tired of my dealership repairs. The last several times I took my Jeep in for what I figured would be a $ 200 repair job; they ended up being $ 700+ Really? I have lost all trust in them.
So a friend of mine mentioned Yuilles to me and how good they were to her. I looked for them here on Unilocal and sure enough: two glowing reviews. So in I went for an MVI and also knowing that I needed new brake pads.
The staff are extremely friendly, funny and informative. A great start. I was given a rough estimate for the repairs and sure enough — they not only predicted the cost, but beat it by $ 30 – 50. When has that happened before? I was a happy boy.
I was also taken back to view what was wrong with my Jeep and they explained everything in clear, simple language. Auto mechanic, me, not :)
All around I had a pleasant experience and will be glad to give them my business in the future. Thanks guys

I have always heard of Yuille over the years but I have always taken my Volvo to Volvo of Halifax for service.
Now that my warranty is up and Volvo of Halifax, which in my opinion has a monopoly on the maritimes and is part of the Steele group oligopoly has little to no value for me with regard to service on a car without warranty. Just too expensive!
So this July I took my car to Yuille for some minor work, advice and an MVI. I was blown away at how fast, ethical and honest the whole crew was over there. Cordial and up for a fleeting banter about «this and that» I immediately felt at ease and comfortable.
All the word of mouth and good rumors of Yuille’s services are legit so I recommend anybody with any car to go there and if you own a European car, the specialize. Desire nothing but honesty, integrity and fair pricing; this is your place.
Hats off to you Yuille Auto Works — I’ll be back & keep up the good work!

My last car was a lemon. So I became very well acquainted with this fine establishment. I’ve had nothing but excellent service here. Let me say, they are very thorough. Which in some ways is both good and bad. But as unpleasant as it may be to get a thorough report card on the state of your car, in the end it’s good to know and to make sure everything’s taken care of. The mechanics also make a point of taking you inside and showing you the problems. They explain everything in plain language without condescending or making me feel uncomfortable (as someone with little mechanical knowledge).
The manager (owner?) has been very good to me. He sat down with me when I finally got rid of my lemon and gave me loads of advice for buying my next used car. Advice that has so far paid off. He even checked out the first of the cars I considered buying at no charge and gave further advice over the phone when I looked at a few other cars.
It’s a busy spot, but they’re always able to fit me in. Yuille also has a dedicated van for their shuttle service, which I appreciate. I highly recommend Yuille Auto Works.
