Great group of mechanics. They got my car all fixed up and safely back on the road. I'm so happy with the service and work. I will travel from out of Hamilton any time I'm in need of work on my vehicle because they are that good. Such a friendly group of people. Never been so happy with any mechanic.

My go to garage for tire changes, tuneups, oil changes, and everything in between including that one time I got stuck on ice and messed up the front of my car. I’ve been going to them for years and see no reason that will ever change! Thanks guys.

I have been going here for over 2 years and I’m never dissatisfied. The employees are VERY friendly and helpful! They aren’t pushy and explain everything to you

Was recommended here from a friend and I am so glad! Amazing service! Made me feel so in the loop with my car and the required repairs/repairs that could wait a while. Also an amazing price to get my brakes done! Thanks again Brian!

Outstanding service. I have a Japanese right hand drive so I had to source the parts myself (don’t order from Yoshi Parts!), and once that was done I researched where I’d get it serviced. Work was done on time and on budget. I can’t recommend this place enough.

Friendly and fast service! I had a flat tire in the middle of the day and needed to drive to Waterloo for an appointment. These folks kindly set aside their lunch to take time to fix the tire so I wasn't late!

Been going to Downtown auto Specialists for 30 years,always professional and fair. I am a backyard Mechanic myself and anytime I get stumped or do not have the proper tools and a lift they get it. I have sent them a couple of nightmare jobs,lol, and they solve the problem every time. Nothing but positive experiences over the years.Only ever charged for actual time spent on vehicle. Top if off, they are really decent people,friendly and honest. Highly recommend.

Wonderful auto center and high quality operations - - Called to get my tires changed on my Lexus sedan at the same day. - Inspection comes with a clear and comprehensive report with pictures that shows which component was replaced and the rest of items are good to go.

Not only was every gentleman there kind and patient, they explained everything wrong with my car and included reports. They prioritized the repairs needed and were speedy. Definitely coming back and happy a friend referred me to them.

I feel like I won the lottery when I was introduced to Downtown Auto! I’m so grateful to Mike, Kieran, Brian and the other guys looking after our cars. You are beyond thorough and informative when it comes to advising the client what needs to be done immediately, or what can wait. Thanks so much for your awesome friendly service!!
Rosa Crane Sep 12, 2024
Downtown Auto is excellent. They take the time to explain things, provide very helpful reports before and after, are upfront about all costs. Honestly, these guys are so kind and patient when my brain gets a bit shocked about repairs (my car is aging) and they will go through the list and pick the priorities as well as identify items that can wait. Would definitely recommend!!

Top shelf auto repair and excellent customer service. Recently, they solved a tricky air conditioning problem other shops were unable to fix. Thanks!
Stephen Kennedy Aug 29, 2024
I got my car repaired at this place both Brian and Mike were very helpful and efficient in their work, they identified the issue and quickly resolved the issues with my automobile. The services are reliable and trustworthy at a fair price. I highly recommend this business.

Nicoleta S Aug 16, 2024
I wish I could give Downtown Auto Specialists 6 stars, but 5 is the most that google will permit. I have been taking my car here for nearly five years and have always been impressed with the excellent service provided. Bryan and the team are reliable, thorough, and have helped me out on short notice with a few different car troubles. Cannot recommend Downtown Auto Specialist highly enough.
Ali Maretzk Aug 16, 2024
SUCH A LIFESAVER! I needed a quick repair in Hamilton today and the guys at this auto shop were amazing. Took me in right away, checked the car’s damage (totally not my fault, if anyone asks) and were super friendly, quick and professional. Thank you again for helping me out in a pinch! I’d give ten stars if I could!
B Galati Aug 9, 2024
I had to go back to the specialist (Mike) after long time because I couldn't find better honesty, quality and craftsmanship. And I got to meet his son which father like son. Thank you guys
Kamal Ayyoub Aug 8, 2024
I've been going to Mike and Brian for the past 8 years, he was recommended from my son. After an accident to no fault of anyone's. Mike and Brian stepped up to the plate beyond our expectations to rectify the situation at a fast timely manner. Not only did they go above and beyond to make the situation as stress free as possible. My vechile came out in better shape then what I brought it in as. I couldn't be happier with the experience I received. They will always have our buisness Don and Lorraine.

I was having a problem with my 2017 Ford Escape going into "deep sleep mode". I went to the Escape forum where there were a lot of complaints, but not very good results from Ford. I took it down to Downtown auto where Mike told me he would find the cause. It took 2 days to find it, but they succeeded. The cause was an 80 amp circuit that feeds an electric heater in the air conditioner that wasn't in any info that they could find. Mike was very diligent and focused on the problem and I was grateful of the job they did. I highly recommend Downtown Auto to all my friends.

I have been going to Downtown Auto for over eight years now and couldn’t be happier with their service, advice and quick appointment booking. Mike and Bryan are friendly, easy to talk to & professional. They offer suggestions to help you make your car operate at its best & last longer. Their prices are fair and their service second to none. I highly recommend them.
Laurence Mongeau Jul 17, 2024
Been to Downtown Auto Service several times in the past. Bryan and the shop guys have always been top notch for my needs. Bryan the shop Mgr is very pleasant, knowledgeable and realistic about my cars needs and only does what's necessary; something we all appreciate! Thanks guys!
dan krouse Jul 2, 2024
I am extremely impressed with the high level of courtesy and professionalism I experienced at Downtown Auto. My car and I were in a difficult jam, and these gentlemen helped out enormously. This was my first time at Downtown Auto but I will be returning. 2024 Update: Still the best!
David T Mar 11, 2021
I’ve been a steady customer for 20+ years and have never been disappointed. Mike and his team have always been friendly, trustworthy, accurately diagnose and provide options when needed. Wouldn’t think of taking my car elsewhere!
Silvia Aarlaht May 9, 2024
Mike, Brian and the whole team explained everything to me before starting the service to my car. Repairs were done faster than I expected. Being able to trust a company to take care of you is hard to find these days. Thanks so much. I won’t go anywhere else for my vehicles.
Julia Zimmer May 4, 2024
The crew at Downtown Auto Specialist have been great to work with. I find them all to be courteous, thorough and even patient when it comes to some of my requests as I have two older cars that I really cherish. I definitely appreciate the detailed reports and videos I receive during and after my visits. To me, their pricing is great and I hope to be able to rely on them with the health of my cars for years to come .
Joshua Cameron Feb 29, 2024
I have been going to Mike and his crew for years. My friends and I call him the "women's mechanic" because we know nothing about cars and can always trust him and his mechanics to do only what is needed at a very reasonable price. He treats every car like it was his own.
Kathryn Nov 17, 2022
Downtown auto specialist helped me out at a time a need like they were my family. My car was making weird noises and my mechanic father told me to get it checked out immediately. I called around 5-6 places and No one had the time of day for me because it was during tire changing season. Not downtown auto though, they got me to come in within 30 minutes and did a thorough check of the car, taking apart all the tires, looking at the brakes, and even getting me an oil change without charging me labour fees. I really felt cared for and I am now going to go to them every time to get any work done! Thank you so much!
