Saskatoon Auto Repair

The service at Crestview is great, they take time to explain everything and they are friendly and pleasant. The job is always done when they say it will be done, at the price they quoted. They seem to be able to fix everything. They work on my little car, my big truck, my horse trailer, and my camper.

Great service, amazing people recommend them too anyone!

I will say this that their customer service is good and they communicate very clearly, but after that it is just a VERY expensive shop. For some very simple repairs to an out of province inspection the bill was a shock! (multiple thousands) I did the work myself with OEM parts and was less than 25% of their estimate. I was told after the inspection that as a loyal customer I probably wouldn't be charged for the re-inspection. When the truck was picked up an $80 bill was to be paid (to take one wheel off and verify a caliper slide operation). Seems like a lack of in office communication and the customer will get the short end of the stick. They also didn't wash my truck which was supposed to be included with the inspection. (was offered a wash if i bring it back but that really isn't convenient). I have received other quotes from Crestview and they are typically $300-$800 more than another very competent shop using same quality parts and standard repair times. Needless to say they will not be seeing any more of my vehicles, and if you choose to go to Crestview be prepared to pay. As an industrial mechanic there are certain things I can do on my own and some I can not, but the repairs/estimates I've seen do not seem to match what you will pay for the work. It's just over priced. UPDATE: After sharing my dissatisfaction with having to pay an addition 80$ for them to take the wheel off to inspect the caliper slide they offered to reimburse me. They then saw that I had posted this review and said that they wouldn’t reimburse me unless I removed the review. I decided to leave it up so that other people see the experience I had with them and can make an educated choice for themselves. I was also told when I was upset about the re-inspection fee that they HAD to charge when a vehicle was brought in for re-inspection if any parts were disassembled and that this was an SGI policy and they could do nothing about that. This is a total lie. SGI says that it is permissible/allowable for a shop to charge for a re-inspection if they have to do any work to verify the inspection but it doesn’t say they have to. Just another example of how they will try to deceive you and take advantage of customers that do not know these things. As for the their shop rate at 160$/hr that is high for an automotive shop. There is full size semi truck shops that don’t even charge that and are around the 110$/hr price. Word of warning!!! Shop around before using Crestview Auto!!

Have brought my vehicle to Crestview for over a decade. Staff is personable, honest about what needs to be done and follow through with the work meticulously. I highly recommend.

Crestview Auto Service was recommended to me in 2006 & that is where we have been taking our vehicles to ever since. Honest honest honest people - they talk you through what needs immediate fixing - what can wait if you are on a budget. They do the work & finish it with washing your vehicle.

Absolutely exceptional service. I found out about Crestview via my best friend Chris (service advisor there). Sunday February 24th, 2019 my rear axle/diff seals were leaking, had Chris check it out when he was at my place, Monday he priced it out and Tuesday February 26, 2019 they got it all repaired. While it was in the shop they did a complementary inspection. After the inspection I also had them perform a balance and tire rotation as well as topped up all my fluids. They also did a complementary car wash and vacuumed the interior of my vehicle. Also I had great pleasure meeting owner Don Klassen who gave me a ride to and from work while they did the repairs to my equinox. The bill was extremely reasonable and I know they do extremely honest work. I can honestly tell you that they have gained a new customer as I will be taking all my vehicle needs to Crestview Auto Service right here in wonderful Saskatoon. Thank you so much for running such an amazing business 😀 From Derrick Schmidt

Crestview is great to deal with and their staff is knowledgeable. We have been getting my girlfriend's mom's car serviced there for over a year. They always offer her free shuttle service and her car is clean when she gets it back!

Great service.

Terrible experience with this garage would not recommend going unless you want to spend double the amount for labour and parts. Recently had problems with my truck my bill came to just under $1700 for two batteries and radiator replacement (under warranty). They replaced a faulty radiator that they installed (not their fault it broke). However, I still payed labour even though it was under a year old. That's whatever but the worst part is I initially brought my truck in because the battery was dead. I replaced both batteries within the last year. Just for a diagnostic of my truck they charged me $385 and had every excuse in the book as to why it cost that much. Have multiple family members that are mechanic they've never heard of a $385 diagnostic on electricity. They claim it was because they had to charge the batteries and push the truck into the shop blah blah. Which would have took them 10 minutes to do. Don't see anyway where a diagnostic could cost $385. Then it cost me 760 dollars for them to put new batteries in. Once again no one I've talked to in the industry or on the internet have heard of batteries costing that much. It should take a mechanic 30 minutes at most to put in batteries. The batteries also costed $250 each which isn't that far off on pricing but still not sure where the other 260 dollars came from. Also said a list of other things that I needed to replace which would have costed me another grand. Said I needed to flush my brakes for $450 when Midas will do it for $117. Also got a second quote on battery said it would have been $427 to put both batteries in. That isn't even the worst part when I challenged them about the pricing they pretty well denied everything. So i said I was going to take in to another shop. So they said they would leave it outside dead and still no charge in the parking lot when its minus 18 (truck is a diesel so won't start in that weather either way). So they pretty well backed me into a corner to pay the $1,700. Side not I let him know when I brought the truck in that I'm a student that doesn't have money laying around to put into my truck. I'm realistic too I understand that my trucks going to have stuff break down since it's a 96 diesel. However, these guys at this shop are crooks. I've even consulted other places just to get number on what stuff would have costed. At most it should have costed me $450 for batteries, $150 for diagnostic and whatever for labour. End of story don't go here they are only looking to make money not interested in giving you a fair price. Seem to know what their doing in the shop can't complain about the work done but absolute garbage customer service and pricing.
