| Looking for car service in coquitlam
I dont want to pay stealership for maintenance anymore.
Need reputable shop to do 1) timing belt, water pump, 2) transmission fluid flush/change, 3) brake fluid change, 4) brake pad replacement, machine rotor.
5) power steering fluid change, 6) maybe future spark plug/rotor cap replacement.
I used to go to Teamwork, now need to find someone in coquitlam. Need a shop that can custom order aftermarket parts too (brake pads "project mu or endless", spark plugs "denso, or nGK.." etc)
Any experience with shops here, I heard bad things about this place by IKEA ( cant remember the name, but they were across from the cineplex)

Logans automotive is the name of one of the shops.
I forget the other....Sapperton maybe?
Went to logans before for a t belt and leaking valve cover gasket...not bad service but not fantastic either. Their shop rate is $95 unless it has gone up. Posted via RS Mobile |

What kind of cars do you drive? There are plenty of Euro specific shops like Otto etc. or PG Performance across the bridge.
Nearly all shop lets you they them what custom order parts you want to order, they just add their margins on top.

Crappy tire service blows, and they charge crazy rates.
