Est. on Algie Avenue · Etobicoke
H & S Automotives is a two-bay garage on a quiet stretch of Algie Avenue, run by mechanics who would rather lose the job than oversell it. Three hundred and fifty-one reviews, four-point-nine stars, and a habit of explaining things twice.
The work
We do most of what a modern car needs, and almost none of what it doesn’t. If a job is outside our wheelhouse, we’ll say so and point you to someone who does it well. Quotes are free, and they don’t come with a commitment to leave the car here.
Strange noise, warning light, soft pedal. We figure out what’s actually wrong, explain it in plain language, and quote what it costs to fix — before we touch the car.
New and used. Mounting, balancing, rotation, repair, and the twice-a-year switch that nobody enjoys but everyone in this city has to do. Booked in advance, done on time.
Oil changes, brake fluid, coolant, filters, wipers. The boring stuff that keeps the car from becoming the interesting stuff. Dropped in for it. Out before lunch.
Pads, rotors, calipers, lines. Struts, ball joints, bushings, end links. Anything between the steering wheel and the road. We test, we replace, we don’t guess.
Buying an “as-is” car? Bring it in. We’ll walk you through everything it needs — and if the answer is “don’t buy it,” we’ll say that too. We’ve talked plenty of customers out of cars.
Ontario Safety Standards Certificates done properly. We’ll tell you what passes, what doesn’t, and what’s borderline — and you decide what to do about it.
The shop
H & S is the kind of garage where one of the owners answers the phone, walks out to look at the car with you, and explains the problem twice if the first time didn’t land. The reviews keep using words like knowledgeable, honest, professional, on time. We’ll happily live up to those.
We’re a small, independent shop — not a chain, not a dealership, not a quick-lube. That means we have time to talk to you, time to do the job right, and a long list of regulars who’ve been coming here for years.
In their words
A small selection, lifted straight from the page — not a word changed.
I’m new to the area so I needed to find a mechanic for my Ford Escape. My friend who also lives in the area recommended me these guys and they did not disappoint. They did a great job repairing my car. They will be my regular mechanics moving forward. 5 stars!
I work nearby and was recommended to come here for my car maintenance. Definitely top quality service! I’ve been back a few times for oil changes and tire changes and haven’t gone back to my other mechanic. They’re really good, get the work done on time and are honest! Definitely recommend!
I have been going to H & S Automotives for more than a year now. I’m always happy with their service and they give me proper quotes for any service I require without a commitment to repair or get service from them. Lastly, I would like to specially mention Sandeep, one of the owners of the shop. He’s really knowledgeable and takes the time to explain the problem and solution. It’s really hard to find good and honest mechanics nowadays and I would highly recommend you try them out.
H&S Automotive is the place to come in Etobicoke if you’re looking for an honest mechanic to tell you like it is. If you are looking to buy an “as-is” car they will certify it but above that they will walk you through everything the car needs in the pre-purchase inspection. They offered me sound advice about the car and how much work it needed. I left feeling good with my decision to not buy the car. They could have had the business to complete the safety $2000 of work but they were honest and I will go back to them again for future vehicle repairs as well. I was very happy with the service.
They are very professional and they advise you for what would be the best for your car and for your safety. I respect their punctuation and accomplishing their job is very professional.
