There is nothing more scary then having a pair of brake pads that are wearing thin. Brakes are obviously the most important safety part of any vehicle. Without brakes we wouldn't be able to stop and of course this would never happen. Your brakes are to the point where you are searching for the best brake repair shop in Victoria BC.
Every knows about places like Midas, Speedy, Budget and other big brands. But we like to promote local businesses on this website. We strongly believe in supporting the local business community here in this great city.
Victoria Transmission & Auto Care
For years Victoria Transmission & Auto Care was known strictly for their transmission repair. But in 2010 the ownership changed and the new owners Peter Block and Adam Sullivan wanted to branch out and offer general car repair and maintenance services. Their mechanics were well trained and had been with the company for many years.
The have won many awards during these years including the 2013 Better Business Bureau's Ethical Decision Making in the Trade Services & Support category. They do so because they are open and honest with customers. They never do work on a car unless they have the owners permission and never will they pull a fast one by saying a car needs work that is not needed. They even have auto education classes to empower and educate people about their vehicles.
This is the main reason why we feel they are the best brake repair shop in Victoria BC. They offer drop off service for residents located in the Saanich, Esquimalt and Victoria municipalities as long as things aren't too busy. This alone is a nice feature as any brake repair service will require them to keep your car for a few hours.
