Good reliable service

I took my van there at 1:30 because I had a whiny siren sound coming from my engine. I didn't have an appointment but stopped in, to see if they could just listen to it. Hoping it wasn't something major. One of the mechanics came out right away, and had a listen. After a short discussion of possibilities, he decided it would be best to put it up on the hoist and have a better look. I told him I didn't have an appointment but he said he was just finishing up a job and could take it right then. I asked how much it would cost to look at it. He said they don't charge for just looking, so of course I said yes!! Lol After a short wait, they came back and said it was my alternator. Great.... how much is that going to cost?? They gave me 2 prices. A rebuilt one, and a new one. I like having choices and not feeling forced with no choices!! Now being about 1:55pm. I asked if there was any chance of getting it done today. He looked at the time, and said if he started right away, they should have it done by 4. AWESOME!!! So, I was perfectly willing to walk home, to get my bank card while they worked, but he had a gentleman drive me home, and then came and picked me up when I was done!! I was so impressed with this business and the above & beyond service!!! I highly recommend them to anyone!! They did my brakes last summer too. I'll be using their services for all my automotive needs!! Thx so much guys!!

The best mechanics I've met by far! They take the time to explain things to you, they'll answer any questions you have, and the most important part? They don't overcharge for work they didn't technically do.  I've worked in the car service industry before, and I can guarantee mechanics bill WAY more hours than they actually use. But not the guys at Schwabe's. Take my word for it. I go to Trevor all the time for my work, and he's never steered me wrong. HIGHLY recommended!

The people at Schwabe's did a great job diagnosing the problem with my Subaru (July 2013).  And I appreciated it that after diagnosing the problem, they called me before they started the work to find out which work I wanted them to proceed on and how much it would cost, to make sure it wasn't too expensive for me.  They told me how much it would cost for parts and labour to replace the 2 belts (to fix the squealing problem) and how much for the tune-up (to fix the engine cylinder mis-firing).  I said to proceed with the work, and when I went to pick the car up the cost was exactly what they said it would be. They said that my car would be ready by 3pm and they'd call me when ready, and they did indeed call me later at 3pm saying my car was ready. They also told me that there was another issue with my car which would cost $150 to fix, but they said that it wasn't necessary to fix it anytime soon.  I appreciated this because I think it shows honesty on their part, as other auto repair shops might say that I need to fix it right away when in reality I didn't, just to get more money. They took time on the phone to answer my questions and the staff were very polite. They are one of the best garages I've been to, I definitely recommend them.  I've been to them with various different vehicles over the past 10 years and they've always been really good.

They've always been great and they won't fix something just for the money. They'll make an assessment and you can speak to the mechanic on the phone for any questions. I can easily recommend that you try these guys next time. I wouldn't go anywhere else!

Took my car in to schwabes to get wheel alignment and put on new tires , and was totally impressed , by the service and professionalism by the staff. No high pressure sales pitch or scare tactics, was treated with respect from start to finish. High recommended for any of your tire or alignment needs !!

Fantastic, honest, and priced right.  Family run places are the best to deal with.

Brought my car in with a breaks problem that came up on my way to work. The service at Schwabe's was over and above, and even thought I wasn't planning on bringing up the previous issue I had six months prior, they had kept a record of it and bright it up themselves, offering to make it right. Great service and attitude, nice, accommodating people, contact you promptly during servicing to ask what you'd like done. Would absolutely encourage this shop over any type of big boxed establishment.

My air conditioning wasn't working and my dad recommended Schwabe. They were able to quickly diagnose the problem and phoned me with an update. They gave me a price estimate over the phone and although we decided in the end not to go through with the repair (vehicle is old with many km on it) the guys at Schwabe were quick, honest, and fair. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and will use them again in the future for any automotive repair needs.

I always get great service and excellent work and their prices are very reasonable.  They never try to sell me work I don't need, but they also offer helpful checks on the overall condition of the car.

I have brought them a few cars over the years and they clearly indicate to you and execute the work that is required. Straight shooters and I have no problem giving them my business.

The parking brake on our company truck seized (or so I thought). I walked to the nearest shop (who I won't name) who told me they were too busy for me. So I called Schwab's who was also apparently very swamped with jobs, however, the gentleman, who I'm assuming was the manager or owner, was courteous and patient enough to give me 5 minutes of his day, free of charge, and help diagnose the problem. As it turned out, he knew that some GMC trucks have a lever that releases the parking brake.

What exceptional customer service. I can only imagine that this is representative of the quality service I could expect if I took my vehicle here for repair. There just aren't too many businesses like this anymore. I'll be recommending to anyone looking for a mechanic.
