AMS Auto Centre

Great staff super knowledgeable and honest people. They are often very busy but very friendly and accommodating service 100% recommend

An honest mechanic! We had a quote from our Ford dealership for $5k of work, Hussein at AMS got it fixed for $600, plus a couple other things while he was under the hood. Reasonable prices, friendly people, open to things like sourcing used parts for an older car. We plan to keep going back.

Incredible service and top quality work. Prices are consistently better than any in the region, too. The smiley face board by the road pretty much sums up how I feel leaving the shop every time - it is the only auto shop that can achieve this 100% of the time.

Quality service with a smile! Great for anyone in the Downtown/Riverside/Mooney's Bay area! Used this shop several times and they continue to elevate their service to meet their clients needs! Highly recommended and trusted!

They are honest people! I have been using their services regularly since early 2020. Shannon is friendly and accommodating; Hussein is very knowledgeable; Nick is super nice.

Recently, my Prius had a coolant leakage at the front exhaust pipe heat exchanger, which could cost several thousand dollars due to the fact it is integrated with the catalyst converter. Luckily, Hussein figured out a way to bypass the heat exchanger and avoided the big cost to purchase a new catalyst converter! My car has been running like a charm ever since.

Highly recommend AMS services.

I've been going to these folks for a few years now. Always friendly, and always perform high-quality repairs. I never want to need repairs but, when I do, it's nice to be able to go to someone I trust.

I had a fantastic experience here! I needed some small repairs done on my car and they fixed them quickly and were very friendly. I felt like I could trust them so I will definitely be returning for future repairs.

Best service I could have ever experienced. They have an amazing team who are extremely expert and friendly. My wipers stopped working in the middle of the road during the horrible winter storm blocking all the view in front of me, making my drive very dangerous. I searched up for a car centre nearby and this centre came up. I called and explained my situation, and they were so kind to let me pop-in without an appointment. Although it was an unexpected visit, they were very willing to solve the issue, especially in this weather outside (with their bare hands!). Luckily, we got them fixed and I couldn't thank them more. I really wanted to thank for their service (even with extra tips) but they said it wasn't a big deal and would not want to charge for it. My day wasn't going that great with the winter storm but they just made it all disappear and I'm so happy that I came across this wonderful centre. I highly recommend everyone to visit this place for any service! Thanks so much AMS!

One of the best places in ottawa if you have any car issues. Very professional, courteous and solid diagnostic and resolutions. Thanks to Nick

This is an amazing auto centre. I serviced my cars at AMS for years and always received a superb service. However, on December 23,22 the staff went above and beyond. My side window got stuck half open. The major winter storm was forecast and the time was tight just before the Holidays. I called and was asked to come very early on Friday, so they may at least close the window before any repair was needed. I arrived at 7am in awful winter road conditions only to learn that entire area lost power. Hussein invited me inside, drove the car in and said he will work with a flashlight! Nick came a little while later and reassured me not to worry. They fixed the window! It allowed me to visit my family at Christmas. Needless to say that driving with a plastic cover was not a safe option. This was an amazing Christmas present- thank you SOOO MUCH!

Nick (owner operator) is decently priced and honest. They quickly addressed the problem and assessed the rest of the car for any future problems. The bill was explained and very clear on what was completed. The staff was pleasant and friendly. Five stars

Nick and the AMS team always deliver. Have been coming here for many years with many different car problems and the team is fair, reasonable and I trust their work. Highly recommended. Thx Nick and Team!

Fantastic service! They certainly earned a new client and some future referrals.

Arrived this morning without an appointment (my mistake, as I should have looked to see if one was necessary). Despite not having an appointment, they did a road test in order to determine what the potential problem may have been. The technician quickly identified the probable cause (cracked heat shield). Once we returned to the shop, he and another team member quickly identified the problem via a visual inspection, jacked the car up, and fixed the problem. This was all done FREE OF CHARGE.

Truly a fantastic client experience, which will earn them more of my business in the future.

I've known Nick for a long time, he runs probably the best Garage in the city of Ottawa. Always fair and honest with his customers. Thanks for helping me out Nick!

This garage quoted my wife $1215 for 2 back brakes before taxes.

I immediately left work, took the vehicle back, drove down the road to a more familiar mechanic, and got the work done that same day for $467 tax included; 3 times less expensive in the end.

This garage had originally told my wife that the car needed specific parts and was unsafe to drive. Perhaps they saw she had car seats and thought they could upcharge under the guise of child safety, or maybe they were just wrong altogether.

The car was safe to drive. The brakes did not need the parts that they said.

I will avoid this garage forever now and do not recommend them.

Best garage in Ottawa by far. They will always go above and beyond for their clients by making them feel welcome and appreciate (even when they are extremely busy). They are efficient and they are understanding of your budget. If you want a fixed car and a good conversation, it's the place to go!

A trustworthy mechanic is a true treasure to someone like me who doesnt know a thing about car repair.
If I were to move an hour further away I would still take my car here

Nick and his team are tremendous. He even fixes other's errors on occasion.sometimes without charging what he should. A generous genius!

Nick and crew have been my go to for 3-4 years now and my wife's family for 10+ years. He's never done any of any wrong and always goes the extra mile. I only wish this city had more shops under his control.

No nonsense with Nick. Just straight up advice, quality workmanship and reasonable prices. AMS has looked after all our family vehicles for over 10 years.

Called to get an appointment as my car had developed a noise, unfortunately they were fully booked but Nick told me to drop by and he would check it out regardless. Excellent service, highly recommended

They are always honest and fair. They go above and beyond for their customers. And have helped me out on short notice before. Very lucky to have been referred. Great mechanic shop!

Honest and fair mechanic shop. I highly recommend them to others after having my car serviced with them.

Best Mechanic ever. Nick and Shannon, no words to describe you. This shop basically reminded me that there are still mechanics that you can trust. Shannon took care of my car's issue like if it was her own. Can't sing their praises enough.

Honestly, you should be able to give as many stars as you want and not stop at just five. Nick and Shannon are incredible. Honest, fair and overall world class people and mechanics. There is no other place to take your vehicle. There is a reason their parking lot is overflowing with cars because everyone in Ottawa knows they are the best!

I can't express how wonderful my experience was today at AMS. It was recommended to me by another mechanic. They have a reputation of being honest and reasonable, and it's absolutely true. Being a woman, I find garages can be intimidating but I didn't have that today. When I asked questions, they took the time to explain everything to me. Everyone there is nice and friendly! I look forward to taking some of their car basic workshops in the future!

BEST GARAGE IN OTTAWA. Nick and his team are amazing. The customer service is impeccable and they are honest and the price is totally reasonable. Would not go anywhere else.

Used this place based on the excellent reviews it has received. My experience here was amazing. The staff were very helpful and accommodating for my situation. They were able to diagnose my problem, order parts, and fix my vehicle in the same day. I was very impressed. And.when I arrived to pick up my vehicle I was even given a discount because I was having a rough day! I will definitely be back again!

Nick is awesome! Took my car in today and he did everything he could to get me out quickly knowing I had worked my day around not having my vehicle, while also making absolutely sure the car was fixed and safe and that I understood every step of what he was working on the whole time. A fantastic experience - would recommend AMS absolutely - so friendly, helpful, and efficient!

I can’t say enough good things about Nick, Shannon and staff. I’ve had my car there several times. They are quick, caring, honest. Prices are competitive. Shannon is always professional and friendly on the phone and Nick has and continues to go the extra mile. I am so thankful to have discovered AMS! I would recommend this garage. Especially if you are female and need a garage that will be honest with you, this is your place to go!

My experience with AMS Auto for repairs has been excellent. Nick is very knowledgeable and trustworthy. He took time to explain to me exactly what was going on. It's very clear that these guys are proud of their work and they spare no details when it's in your best interest. The pricing is also very fair. I highly recommend taking your car to this garage.
