Very low rates.
$40 for oil change. Includes complete inspection + tire rotation + fluid top-up. It's $40 dollars out-the-door price.
They work on all makes, all models, and they're doors are open Sundays and open late on request. | guess that's where i'm going to get my oil and filter changed + spark plugs changed, and air filter changed. unless someone can recommend a better place.

Freeway Mazda in Surrey ( http://freewaymazda.ca/)
Swapped out my rear diff mount, front diff brace and rear motor mount replaced with aftermarket SURE components.
Quoted 4.5 hrs, took 8, paid for the quote and an oil change.
For a dealership, I'm impressed.

I can vouch for The Speed Syndicate and Art's Automotive. Only two places I trust with my car for honest and reliable work.

BMC Motorworks in East Van, deals mostly with older British cars but will take on alot of other stuff, extremely honest shop, the owner has saved me countless hours (and money) even when I insisted on paying for an unnecessary job, these people don't miss anything.

I'm wondering if anyone has recommendations for shops to do required work and an inspection for a vehicle I am importing. Preferably close to the New West port
