acurrie Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Just wondering if anyone has recommendations for a good automotive mechanic, preferably in the sarcee, bow trail, crowchild (south) area. Not in desperate need, but always good to know you can count on someone. thanks, Drew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbowtrout Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I would see John at the Scenic Acres Husky. Top notch service and he won't take you for a ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick0Danger Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 John has been good to me as well, and if you need your skates sharpened he will do a bang up job on them as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birchy Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Funny.. I was just looking for the same thing yesterday and today. Mike's Auto Service in Marda Loop seems to have a great reputation as well: http://www.members.shaw.ca/mikesautoservice/ http://calgary.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Report.aspx...&firm=32530 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acurrie Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 Thanks for the suggestions. I seem to be having some transmission trouble (lots of bad noises) and was wondering what places in the city have a good reputation. If you get into the wrong shop with tranny trouble they can really take you for a ride. thanks in advance. p.s. I will stay away from change auto & transmission Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danhunt Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I take my vehicles to Folk Automotive of off Ogden Road on 16a street. They've always treated me right, and the only time I had something go wrong (not even their fault, it was a set of faulty struts) they made it right with no hassel. In fact, we had the clutch go in our car on the way home last winter and a shop in the town where I live quoted $2500 to replace it and we would have to wait two weeks on parts. I called Folk and they were able to get in the same day plus they were about $700 lower. Even with a tow in to town we still came out money ahead.

ham Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 John has been good to me as well, and if you need your skates sharpened he will do a bang up job on them as well.
