He charged me $480 for which the service centre on the same road charges $300. I trusted him and the reviews. I thought it was okay till a friend said that I've been charged too much. I checked with other service centres in the area and the maximum has been $350. Feeling fooled for trusting. Had been going for oil change, been paying $110 for that. Was okay with this. But not now, not going again.
YAMA is not a professional. Brought in my Ford Escape for a simple water pump change for which he charged us $1400 to which we agreed without any second thoughts. He took almost 10 days to fix it but when me and I my boyfriend went to pick up our car, the car wasn’t the same. We could hear unusual loud noises and asked him multiple times to check on it but he insisted to take the car and use it as it’s nothing serious. He said bring it in later and he shall fix it. The very next day our car STOPPED AND NEVER STARTED AGAIN. We towed it in again to him and he kept the car for more than 2 weeks and did not diagnose anything. We were unhappy with his services as he was just wasting our time thus, we divided to take our car to dealership only to find out he RUINED OUR ENGINE. He did not fix the water pump correctly which lead to seizing of engine. YAMA MESSED UP OUR CAR AND DID NOT EVEN TOOK THE RESPONSIBILITY OF IT. It has been more than 5 months to this incident and we are still suffering because of him. Our car has been standing at the dealership and it is all because of him.
YAMA COSTED US HELL LOT OF MONEY, TIME AND MENTAL STRESS ALONG WITH his not so great SERVICES.
If you want to ruin your vehicle you know where to go. We also went to him after reading all those great reviews but I personally will never recommend him to anyone in future!
Yama is dishonest and not a man of his words. Hes unprofessional and did not take any accountability of the problems he caused in my car because of his negligence. Bring your car to him and watch it getting MESSED UP than ever! I wish I could give him a 0 STAR rating!
I met the mechanic Yama and he was so friendly and understanding about my car situation. He found the problem and I’m looking forward for my car being fixed. Communication was also on point. He is awesome
After experiencing sudden car trouble I searched for mechanics in the area I live: this place came up, and had very solid reviews.
I would like to say that Yamma handled my 2018 Tiguan amazingly. He communicated with me about the issue, explained my options, and responded to my questions immediately.
When I picked up the car he detailed the process and showed me what went into the repair.
When I have another issue, or simply need an oil change I will be heading back.
DON’T GET SCAMMED MIGHT SEEM LIKE A NICE GUY BUT HES VERY SKETCHY. 80% OF THESE REVIEWS ARE ASKED FOR. I LEFT A GOOD REVIEW EARLIER LAST MONTH BECAUSE HE TOLD ME TOO (IM WAITING TO SEE THAT REVIEW) EXACT WORDS HE SAID. WHY DO YOU THINK THERES SO MUCH REVIEWS PEOPLE LEAVING REVIEWS ON A OIL CHANGE? IS THERE GOLD AND DIAMONDS IN THE OIL? YAMA FAILED ME. DON’T BUILD A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM HE WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE! SPENT $2000 DOLLARS JUST FOR MY VEHICLE TO BE MESSED UP MORE THEN EVER.
Very fast and professional service! The staff there are very helpful and welcoming, even at the end of an exhausting day. We went there for a flat tire late at night and after a very careful and thorough inspection, it was suggested that it is safer to change the tires. Overall 10/10 experience; definitely recommend.
Came here to do an oil change in my car and they went above and beyond to help me with a simple job. Great customer service and super helpful so I will definitely be coming back.
I could not find anyone to help with a tire change the day before a snowstorm, except Yama who was not only willing, but his team did a quick and excellent job. This is a clean, organized shop and I'm happy to have discovered it. I'll be back for a full sevice!
How could someone go wrong to utilize their sundays off on fixing the failing health of their cars on sunday morning rather than being on your bed. Shop is legit! Get your car done here. 90% people gets their car dones on their hectic weekdays schedule. So why not here? Overall good. Respect to these brothers.
Yama is a very knowledgeable, trustworthy and understanding i would highly recommend his business. Their team helped me out with installing my preformance brakes and putting on my winter tires for the season. I will be going back to have more work done soon. Their efficienct and honest aswell, gald i was reffered to these fellas they’re the real deal!
Came here and Yama took care of my car like it’s his own car. First time came for an oil change and he did an amazing job on it. Also just came to swap tires to winter tires and he did great by installing and balancing them for me. Would recommend this place 100% for any mechanical car issues
Great service. Yama is truly a professional at what he does. He really shows that he cares about your car’s longevity and what to look out for to avoid future annoying expenses. Needed work done asap and he was able to have my back multiple times now. Also provides you with the convenience of being available on the weekends. Also would like yo add Yama is such a chill dude.
Auto Tech Express is one of the most helpful, friendliest and quickest mechanics I’ve ever been too. They listened to my concerns and went above and beyond rather than sticking with the basics. Amazing customer service!
The guy running the place is a great guy. I came to them after another shop messed up the alignment of my tires. They were fast and got the job done perfectly. My car is now running very smooth. 5 Stars
They helped me fix my 28 year old car after nobody else could the mechanic went above and beyond for me and this shop is by far the best shop you could go to. Quality service, great mechanic and a positive and welcoming environment. I wouldn’t recommend anywhere else.
Coming back from a long Canada Day weekend from Kitchener/Guelph/Elora/Fergus when a small bump on the highway dropped the resonator and exhaust pipe along the way back to Toronto. After a few drivers honked at me pointing underneath my car, I pulled out of the highway and called CAA for a tow. To cut the story short, the wife searched for a muffler so open on a Sunday, and were lucky to have found Auto Tech Express. After reading a review of the exact scenario were experiencing, our prayers we answered. A quick fix, and we were back on the road. We will definitely come back for other services. Great service and friendly staff. Ask for Yama.
I came to get an oil change and my car drives much smoother now. They’re really nice and because I don’t know much about cars they were able to answer all of my questions. I learned about the services I needed to get for my car to maintain it. Highly recommend!
Recently visited these guys for brake line repair, They took my car in the same day and diagnosed that the lines needed to be replaced. Yama is a really good mechanic who is to the point no BS. He told me what the car needs right away and what can wait.
Very friendly & honest, They are also very knowledgable about Japanese and German vehicles. I have never had a issue with pricing at Auto Tech Express. Also they showed me what the issue was, which made me feel a lot more comfortable knowing that I can trust them. I will definitely be returning back if I have any more problems with my car.
Great customer service! We had a rusted out exhaust from a new car and was stuck on the side of the road. Every shop near by was either closed or was not up to the task. But the owner/mechanic waited for us to be towed to his shop and worked on it til late night. Even drove us around in his finely modded sti, quite fast i must say. All in all, call and go here, great customer service.
Do not go anywhere but here! This is the best auto shop in the city for sure! Yama is a genuinely great guy who runs his business professionally. He even offered to buy me a drink from McDonald’s, when he was on the way to work! He did a check up on my Nissan and changed my wheels for the summer. He even mentioned what I’ll need to fix and tune up before the winter starts. His prices are very fair! I highly recommend Auto Tech Express INC for all your future repairs and check ups! Yama is probably the number 1 mechanic in all of Scarborough & Toronto! I’ve been to so many mechanics and not one has been as nice as Yama. I’ll never switch mechanics again, this place will be my mechanic shop forever. Auto Tech Express, a place where you’ll find the best mechanic in Canada.
Great auto shop, super knowledgeable, very helpful and friendly. Only mechanic open late in the area which is great for people who work late, highly recommend.
The staff at Auto Tech Express was professional, polite and very friendly. The quality of service was amazing. I was explained in detail what was needed to be fixed with my car, and all of my questions were answered in depth. I feel safe to drive my car now! Thank you Yama for taking care of my car!
I found this garage after trying 3 other mechanics nearby, who were mostly rude and too busy. Yama was friendly and let me ask him lots of questions and watch him work. Him and his apprentice work hard, and late. He happily took me in at 6: 30 and fixed my work vans broken muffler. Now he looks after our company vehicles!
They are all really hard workers and they take the time and initiative to go above and beyond. 100% would recommend, the crew can get the job done. They are all incredibly friendly, and Yama is a really good man. If there’s anyone that knows what they’re doing, it’s these guys.
I took a car I was interested in purchasing to Yama at Auto Tech Express and he completed a pre-purchase safety check for me. He was knowledgable, welcoming, and a pleasure to interact with. He gave me realistic expectations of the vehicle and made all the difference in the process overall. Fairly priced and excellent service. Thank you Yama!
Went to this shop to get my BENZ ML500 diagnosed for a transmission problem. Did a transmission service. Fixed my leaking tire and did a full scan. Great shop to get your vehicle's serviced. The boss yama is very intelligent and kind. Highly recommended! Best shop in the east end. Also open 7 days! Will recommend all my family and friends.
