Services We Provide
Quality work, honest pricing, and repairs done right the first time.
Auto Service & Repair
General auto service and repair starts with the concern, the vehicle’s condition, and its maintenance history. The work may range from routine upkeep to diagnosis and repair of related mechanical or electrical systems.
Car Repair
Car repair addresses a specific mechanical, electrical, safety, or drivability concern after the cause has been assessed. The appropriate repair depends on evidence from inspection and testing, not the symptom alone.
Brake Repair
Brake repair begins with an inspection of the parts that create, transfer, and control braking force. The findings determine whether adjustment, maintenance, or component repair is appropriate.
Oil Change
An oil change replaces used engine oil and the filter with products selected for the vehicle. The visit can also provide a limited opportunity to check fluid leaks, the drain area, and items included in the chosen service.
AC & Heat Repair
Heating and air-conditioning repair starts by separating airflow, temperature-control, refrigerant, cooling-system, and electrical concerns. Testing determines which system is responsible before repair is recommended.
Engine Diagnostics
Engine diagnostics combines the driver’s observations, scan data, operating tests, and targeted checks to identify the cause of a warning light or performance concern.
Transmission Repair
Transmission repair addresses shifting, engagement, leakage, control, or internal mechanical concerns after the transmission and related systems have been tested. The repair can range from an external correction to internal work or replacement.
Tire Services
Tire services cover inspection, pressure correction, rotation, balancing, puncture assessment, seasonal changeover, and tire replacement as appropriate. Tire condition, wheel condition, and vehicle requirements determine the work.
Winter Tire Installation
Winter tire installation prepares a compatible set of seasonal tires and wheels for cold-weather use. Inspection, fitment, pressure, balance, and proper wheel fastening are part of a careful changeover.
Wheel Alignment
Wheel alignment measures and adjusts applicable suspension angles so the wheels track according to vehicle specifications. Tire condition, ride height, steering position, and worn or damaged parts must be considered first.
Battery Replacement
Battery replacement involves confirming battery condition and starting or charging-system behaviour before installing a compatible unit. Some vehicles also require battery registration, adaptation, or preserved electronic settings.
Radiator Repair
Radiator and cooling-system repair addresses coolant loss, restricted heat transfer, pressure problems, airflow faults, or damaged components. The source of overheating or leakage should be confirmed before parts are replaced.
Exhaust Repair
Exhaust repair addresses leakage, noise, damaged supports, emissions-control faults, and restricted flow after the affected section is identified. The system includes more than the visible tailpipe.
Suspension Repair
Suspension repair addresses worn, loose, leaking, bent, or damaged components that affect ride, tire contact, steering response, and vehicle stability. Inspection identifies which parts and related alignment work are appropriate.
Auto Inspection
An auto inspection documents the condition of the systems included in the requested inspection. It may support maintenance planning, a purchase decision, a regulatory requirement, or diagnosis, but the exact checklist depends on the inspection type.
Preventive Maintenance
Preventive maintenance uses vehicle guidance, service history, operating conditions, and current condition to plan upkeep before avoidable wear or fluid deterioration creates a larger concern.

What Our Customers Say
“When we moved to Kitchener, I started taking my vehicle to Christine's on the recommendation of my son who's been going there for several years already. I've dealt with numerous garages in the course of my life and have never been as confident in or impressed with one as this one! First of all, Christine is personable. She's interested in you as a customer, and takes the trouble to explain things: what's wrong, what needs to be done, what can wait, etc. She'll even take you into the garage and show you. Unlike many mechanics and even garage managers, Christine is clearly a people person. She's pleasant, outgoing, and knows how to communicate clearly and thoroughly. Secondly, she's passionate and knowledgeable about her work. Let's face it, if someone is a people person but doesn't understand what they're doing, that's not helpful. Christine is both a people person and a knowledgeable mechanic. And finally, she has reasonable prices and neither my son nor I have ever felt like we were being shafted for something. Garages in general have a reputation for being dishonest, for overcharging or for recommending unnecessary parts or work. Christine's Automotive is a shining and welcome exception! I actually hate to recommend Christine's to too many people for fear that she'll get so busy with new customers that I'll have trouble getting an appointment for my vehicle within a reasonable time frame! But that wouldn't be fair to her. So I'll say it: For good, reliable, honest service with great communication and a smile, see Christine's :)”
