Auto repair and inspections in Oshawa

“APEX Auto - an amazing staff! I'm the same grumpy woman who wrote on 2nd Time Around Tires. I am MONTHS behind in my review, but Apex is a fine establishment and deserves to get good reviews.<br><br>It was early August? (I'm unsure if late July or early Aug), but APEX did a safety check for my 2003 GMC Envoy SLT. Now I was in dire straits. I had come off a horrific six day trip across Canada, four of which were spent in a 'sitting' position as all motels/hotels were filled up due to July 1st Canada Day celebrations.<br><br>The bone on bone osteoarthritis had me beside myself with pain, and I was recovering from black mold, which the toxicity of it made my breathing very laboured.<br><br>I was a mess, and very humbled - in pain, and grouchy. I do not say this for sympathy. If anything, I am trying to show you what these poor workers at Apex Auto had to contend with.<br><br>You know, you go to work innocently planning to put in a good day, then you run in face to face with a wounded, snarly tiger...ho boy! One of those days...<br><br>In B.C. we do not have to do safety tests or emissions, so that was a shocker. Secondly, I had just had new rotors and other work done on my vehicle in order for it to be safe for travelling across Canada in (there is the safety of others to consider too - always)<br><br>Well, the men found some problems, and I got mad. I had run into three nasty businesses in BC, two of which ripped me off (but thanks to friends for the help to get them to correct it), and what did I do?<br><br>Ugh, much to my own shame, I was immediately suspicious and did not hide it. Now, there were two young men that had worked on the vehicle, and I could tell by their reaction (which they contained beautifully) that they had done their best, honest work and were taken aback by my attitude.<br><br>I quickly noted it, and recouped, but still, they did not deserve that. I am painting this picture as clearly as I can to show the professionalism, and the maturity, and the overall good public relations that transpired DESPITE this grouchy old woman's attitude.<br><br>Now that is saying a lot. Not only must I humble myself to speak these truths, but you can be guaranteed that if this fine team of men rallied around, girded up their loins and stood respectfully, their ground, without showing any slight or disrespect, you can be assured that if you go in there with your pleasant face and good manners, you too are going to come out of it with a positive experience.<br><br>The money was tight after a trip like that, landing a new home, and the set up, but then trying to get my vehicle roadworthy, so Apex kindly let me know all the parts I needed to get the work done, which my son did.<br><br>Apex did the second inspection after my son completed the necessary repairs, and gave us a clean bill for safety.<br><br>Not only is APEX Auto fair, they have an amazing staff. The woman is friendly and helpful; the other two or three men behind the counter are professional, friendly and helpful, and the mechanics are super.<br><br>Fair pricing - they have all kinds of parts, or can get them in for you. Thumbs up for the work they do. A humble touch to my heart for the kindness and understanding they showed towards me, although I can assure you, I did not deserve it - but it brought a tear to my eye when I was alone. I was most appreciative.<br><br>Apex (staff), thank you for putting up with me, and thank you for the good prices, and quality service. You do Oshawa proud!<br><br>B Petroff<br>2003 GMC Envoy SLT<br><br>PS: In all fairness, the day I took the pictures, the place was swamped with orders for "pick-up" for ordered parts. The shelves were full (the pick up shelves), counters were used, and even shopping carts were used. They were BUS--Y!<br>They actually keep the place fairly clean for an automotive center. Now you know... :))”

“Excellent Warranty Service at Apex Auto Shop<br><br>"I recently had to have some warranty work done on my vehicle. Apex Auto Shop handled everything seamlessly. They were professional, courteous, and kept me informed throughout the entire process.<br><br>Most importantly, they honored the warranty commitment without any hassle or extra costs to me. I was very impressed with their dedication to customer satisfaction.<br><br>I highly recommend Apex Auto Shop to anyone in need of auto repair services."”

“I recently bought a certified vehicle from Mike at a fair price. He provided excellent customer service allowing me to have it inspected by a second shop. A few mechanical issues arose just after I picked the vehicle up and Apex made those repairs promptly and at no expense to me. I have been very impressed with their superb customer service and I would not hesitate to purchase another vehicle or have service work done by them in the future.”

“These guys are the best. I've been going to them with my mini cooper for 5 years and they are always honest with me and fair. Every young woman knows the struggle of going to a mechanic and the mechanic tries to trick them into costly and unnecessary repairs; I've never had that problem with these guys. I would highly recommend them for everyone, especially people who don't know much about cars because they are as honest as they come.”

“We purchased some new tires and rims and they had to be ordered in. They arrived ahead of schedule and we were notified right away and they made time to install them well ahead of when we were expecting to have them. Service was absolutely awesome from all the staff there. Would totally advise to look to Apex to have some tires put on your vehicles.”

“I have been taking my vehicles here for years and I have nothing but good things to say. They are reliable, trustworthy and highly experienced and take time to explain a diagnosis or offer reasonable options. Everyone there is extremely pleasant and helpful and I would never take my car anywhere else if I could help it! Thank you so much Apex Auto!”

“My father used to go to this auto shop and introduced me to this shop when I bought my car. For years, they have been servicing my car. They are knowledgeable and fair. I have never felt like I was being taken advantage of. The service managers over the years have been fantastic, coming out to look at small things when I just dropped by.”

“I have been trusting Apex Auto for years! From big repairs to small, they are always honest, reliable and fair. Especially with a young woman like myself, they take the time to explain it in terms that I understand and give me fair prices!”

“Took my Pickup Truck because of starting issue,had the starter motor changed. Excellent service this is a great reliable garage they are professional and quality work.”

“Went in for safety check for my car and they fixed the deficiencies very quickly at a reasonable price.”
