What we do
EVERYTHING
A FAIR SHOP SHOULD.
Diagnostic-first, repair-second. We tell you what's wrong, what's not, and what can wait. Customers keep using the same three words: honest, reliable, reasonable.
Brakes & suspension
Pads, rotors, calipers, struts, control arms, bushings. The boring repairs that keep your family alive on the 401, done correctly the first time.
Engine & drivetrain
Timing chains, belts, water pumps, transmission service, clutch work. We've worked on European, Asian and domestic for decades. VW Passat, no problem.
Oil, filters, fluids
Standard service done with standard care. We'll tell you what your car actually needs at this mileage — and what it doesn't.
Second opinions
Got a quote from a dealership or a chain that felt high? Bring it here. We've corrected mistakes from "the other franchise shop" more times than we can count.
Inspections
Pre-purchase, used-car checks, safety inspections, advice on whether that Kijiji car is worth the asking price. Honest answer, every time.
The man
ASK FOR
PETER.
Peter is the reason customers drive across the GTA to a small independent shop on Martin Grove Rd. He has been the trusted mechanic for families in Etobicoke for the better part of three decades — kids who came in with their first license now bring in the cars their own kids drive.
He's honest, hard-working, and reliable. He'll tell you what your car needs, what it doesn't, and what's still got life left in it. The garage is busy because the work is good. That's it. That's the whole pitch.

I have been coming to Peter since I was a teenager who got my first license, almost two decades now and he is still the only man I trust when it comes to mechanics, he is honest, hard working, and reliable. You know he will take care of you and have your best interests at heart, I should have written this review years ago, but if you ever come across this place, I guarantee you, you will never EVER go to any one else again. Peter thank you.
Quality and trustworthy mechanics. Peter has being in business since I was a teenager. Great work, very reasonable prices.
Peter is the man to see. Took my VW Passat there after it was recommended to me by a friend and am glad i did! They did everything I asked and even suggested some items that needed attention I did not know about. Honest, reliable, old school shop and mechanics who get the job done right! Their prices are more than fair and reasonable. Am glad I found them, as it is now my new go to mechanic shop. They are very busy and popular because they are good!
A great mechanic shop. Very knowledgeable in all issues and decently priced. Always happy to help and advice no matter what the issue is. Highly recommend!
Peter's garage is the best garage I got my cars serviced for the last 26 years. Always honest and professional. Thank you for being you, Peter.
Walk in
PULL UP TO
THE BLUE DOOR.
The shop is on Martin Grove just north of Albion. Park out front, walk to the counter, ask for Peter. He'll have a look at the car and tell you straight what's going on. That's how it has worked here for twenty-something years and that's how it still works today.
