I can’t say enough about the level of service and the amazing staff at Dandy auto they went above and beyond to take care of me I’m very appreciative of the way they helped me in every way for my vehicles needs a special thank you especially to there technician Matt! I’d definitely recommend Dandyy auto to anyone who’s looking for quality work done at a very reasonable price.: thank you to all the staff at dandy auto il be back for all my cars needs from now on!

Outstanding service. I was on a tight schedule, they were able to squeeze me in on short notice and were very thorough inspecting my boat. Awesome people and they do awesome work. I highly recommend them!

I had a fluke engine problem that 3 shops weren't able to diagnose but billed me for diagnostics and unnecessary parts anyways. Dandy was the only place to actually figure it out and get me back on the road. Fantastic service, great turnaround time and incredibly fair with pricing. I will only be dealing with Dandy from now on.

Dandy auto is the absolute best they always have helped me out with my boat repairs very professional, great service and excellent repairs! I cant thank them enough for fitting me in last minute to install a starter in my boat just before vacation. It runs awesome see photos! Would recommend! 5 star

Had to get out of town and needed a backup impeller!

Matt stayed and extra 15 minutes to get it to us on Friday none the less.

Thanks Matt I appreciate it!

Just picked up my boat where they installed tower speakers sub and amp and a 2way battery switch! Very clean installation everything was top door, highly recommend

I was in a rear end collision in the fall of 2021. Vehicle was repaired at a different shop. Had some concerns about repairs, brought my car to Dandy where it was inspected and found problems from the accident. The guys were wonderful to deal with, very friendly and did a thorough job inspecting. They were great at explaining what exactly was wrong. Highly recommend and will continue to use their services in the future.

The staff is great, they are always willing to help. As a new boat owner they have been great to deal with and very knowledgeable.

It was a long drawn-out affair with the front-desk people promising but not delivering. They deceived me, charged me a lot of money, and then in the end my vehicle still didn't work. The tall guy was rude, insulting, and aggressive. I am a very unhappy and dissatisfied customer.

I have had my boat serviced and
winterized at Dandy for two years.
Since Covid lol
The service was excellent it was all done on time priced as quoted and they even repaired the fasting straps for my engine cover which is the seat on my boat. They noticed this and repaired it on there own at a very minor cost. I recommend
Dandy without hesitation.

By far these best service in town! Even when there was a small issue/discreptency, it was more then taken care of, Dandy is the leader in Alberta for boat services in my eyes and I will recommend them over and over and over again! Keep up the great work from your front desk to your techs to the owner himself! Very reputable, respectable, reliable service provider for every boat and trailer need! See yous soon! Boat seasons around the corner!

Dandy has always gone above and beyond for me. They have excellent communication and service! I would highly recommend them! Heather

I’ve been going to Dandy for vehicle maintenance for two years since moving to Alberta. Great service, awesome pricing, and friendly staff!

I took my Car to Dandy for a Piece of Mind inspection after being told by my dealership that my car needed a lot of work. Dandy was amazing to deal with. Not only were they really friendly and speedy but they were also very trustworthy and very decent when it comes to price! Guess what, my car didn’t need a lot of work! If you are looking for an honest company, go to Dandy!

I took my boat there to get a pre buy inspection and I never looked back. The staff are great and very knowledgeable and friendly. I take my boat there every year for its spring tune up and fall winterization and any repairs I might need. I would definitely recommend Dandy to anyone looking for a honest business that will take care of your needs.

I will never Take anything back to Dandy Auto Marine Ltd. Spent tonnes of money and service work was triple poorly done. Took boat and trailer in for work, took leg off boat, lost parts and didn't even bother to try and put it back together. Parts they put on motor was put on wrong and I personally had to redo. I got leg back on ourselves after many hours, cause they left us in a mess to figure it out.lots of other work done as well. They stored the boat over winter and didn't even bother to put on my cover on which I told them was in boat. When I picked boat up next spring it had two feet of water in it with all my stuff stored in it soaked and mold. When I got there and found this out, showed them the cover in 1 second. Plus my Sea-doo lift on Trailer was not working to put it back down for transport so I had to do a quick repair on it to get it down to move home. Later had to replace electric/ hydraulic system cause it was over heated. Talked with owner before I picked it up and didn't seem to me to care a whole lot to get necessary repairs done to get it running again, I would really say they do not know what they where doing there for any kind of boat/ trailer repairs. This left me with no boat to use for over a season and had to rent. Thats why I chose to go get it from there and not spend anymore wasted money and fix it ourselves. I will say staff up front when chatted with where friendly.

If I could have the chance to give minus stars they would get minus 5
Had my 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe for diagnostic and repair. Ended up with almost $4000 repair cost. When I got my vehicle back after 3 days, after I have paid the cost, there was the same issue as before. After complaining they figured it would be a different issue and they recommended me to a befriended Transmission repair shop. That means they did senseless repairs (minor oil leak etc), not having a test drive etc and charge a lot of money for not fixing the problem. The mechanic looked like he has no idea and gave stupid excuses or it is just a rip off.
Now I have to find a reliable repair shop to get my SUV fixed the right way.
To anyone: safe money and time and don't use that "repair shop" or what you want to call that

So, if you are looking for poor service and a bad experience, DON't go here. When you call Dandy, Adrianne will accommodate your needs with a pleasant, knowledgeable assessment of your situation. The shop staff will take the time to explain what what needs to be done or not done and do it in a timely fashion and at a fair price. As the terminator says, " I'll be back. "

I brought in a recently purchased used boat into shop to get inspected and serviced. The shop informed me of several major problems with the boat (motor was frozen and seller did not inform me the buyer). The owner gave me some really solid advice on trying to return the boat because it was not worth trying to fix. I took boat back with the advice and was able to get my money back! Very professional shop with people who are actually looking out for the customers best interest! Thanks Dandy for saving me 10k and the headaches that go along with it.

I bought a used boat and brought it in for inspection and repairs. Communication was fantastic and each step was explained with options and recommendations.

The best automotive experience. They went beyond expectations in customer service and price. If you are looking for an honest and down to earth mechanic you can trust, this is the place. I will only go to one place for my vehicle maintenance from now on.

A company that still truly values their customers.
Due to a family issue I left my Boat to long before winterizing.
Unfortunately it was too late and the engine froze. Darren and Team were very compassionate about my situation and went above and beyond to get my boat back in operation without breaking my bank.
They went as far as spending their own time to source the hard to find parts and manufacture/Modified what was avialbe to make it happen!
As the build went on they sent pictures, estimates, a timeline and explained in detail what was happening. My family will be taking our vehicle's to this amazing team for any of our maintenance and repair needs.
Thank as well to Adrianne who was very friendly and professional.
The professionalism, expertise, and overall experience at Dandy Auto was second to none and far exceeded my expectations.
Thank you

If you're looking for honesty, reliability and transparency - I highly recommend Dandy Auto in Airdrie! It's a breath of fresh air to encounter a company that still truly values their customers.

My vehicle broke down and needed some major repairs recently and Dandy saved the day.   A huge thank you to Daryn for going above and beyond and coming to assist me on his own personal time, saving me the cost of a tow truck, and making me a priority. Thank you to Adrianne for the friendly and prompt customer service, with continuous updates, including photos, estimates and details.   Thank you to the incredible mechanic, Matt, for getting my vehicle repaired in a timely matter and getting it back on the road and working better than ever! Last but not least, a shoutout to the sweetest shop dog, Shilo!

The professionalism, expertise, and overall experience at Dandy Auto was second to none.   They far exceeded my expectations.   It's nice to say I finally have a trustworthy go-to mechanic!

Fast, efficient, friendly service. Starts with Adrianna in the front end. Matt is incredible working in the back. Very knowledgeable, effective communicator walking you through all the steps in order to get your vehicle up to running in top form! If you want the best, you've come to the right place.would highly recommend to everyone.friendly atmosphere and great lounge to work on things while you wait. The owner took time out of his day to make things more welcoming- Great team!

I had a great experience with the Dandy team. In the myths of preparing for an interprovincial move, I learned that my vehicle's entire brake system needed to be replaced. Adrianne provided a quote within 15 minutes and managed to book me in for a morning appointment the next day. I was very stressed about the entire ordeal but Adrianne assured me that it would be a common fix. My vehicle was repaired in less than 24 hours from my initial phone call. I would definitely recommend their services!

I went in to purchase some bellows sealant and they actually lent me the open tube they had in the shop at no charge with the comment “you don’t need much, just bring back what’s left”. This is the type of business that I will support wholeheartedly in the future.
Great customer service!

Went in a few days ago to buy a new bellows for my boat. I also needed the adhesive for the bellows but only need a few drops so instead of selling me a whole tube of adhesive for 20$ they borrowed me a half empty tube from the shop and said bring it back when your done. I’d say that’s excellent service. Thanks.

Have been dealing with Dandy for years and and it has always been a truly good experience! With amazing client care they are always there to help! Make sure to say hi to Shilo the pup!

Thank you Adrianne, Matt and Daryn for the professional service. Adrianne for the prompt and timely communication and scheduling. Matt for the boat mechanics and always there to explain the work required, (especially since my boat was not used for a period of time). Our family had a great boating summer thanks to the Dandy Marine team. I highly recommend Dandy Marine for your boating services and needs. Excellent people and service.

Great Services. I brought my vehicle for Out of Province inspection.

They have the best rate in the town. They are very honest and will give the best advise in customer's interest.

Got an out of province inspection here, would not recommend anyone to do that at this shop. They my be good for other services but I personally would not return.

Really good customer service. The place has a decent outlook, wait time was reasonable, prices were fair, and I really appreciate Cassandra's assistance, especially in helping me get coffee.

Had fairly extensive mechanical work done and it was done very well and with excellent customer service. I trust them to do all my mechanical work going forward!

I brought two vehicles to Dandy for OOP inspections. They were very reasonable with rates, and was repaired quickly. I would recommend them to anyone!
