Phil is a scam artist who screwed up my GMC truck. It had a crate engine installed and all he had to do was get it running. He upsold me on a computer system that was needed ($4000) which it did not need after talking to a proper expert. He disconnected my speedometer and could not fix it. Still doesn’t work to this day this day. Left grease on my seats, sold me parts that had 400-500% mark up and I’m out a total of $8000. I had to take it back twice because it ran like shit, he still couldn’t fix it. Avoid this clown, he has a bad reputation in Spruce Grove and a history with other employers. Yes it’s been 8 years but my truck still doesn’t run like it should. Glad you are finally on google so I can give a fair and very truthful review.
I've been looking for an honest mechanic, one that will tell me the problem before charging me all kinds of money to replace part after part until they find the issue. My previous experience with another shop charging me to replace parts only to find out the parts were never replaced. At Blue Nose, you get mechanics who are honest and know what they are doing. They diagnosed and fixed a brake issue I had that other mechanics charged me for but never fixed. I was really shocked when I saw how minimal the labor was on my bill. I personally felt they put more work in than they charged me for, and this is a relief; Knowing you're not being overcharged for labor. The work is solid, parts were fast to come in, and I was called and consulted before any work was done. And even though I said I would be willing to replace another issue (berrings), they checked them over and told me that I didn't need to replace them. So I know they are honest. You will need to book an appointment and know that when you book that appointment, your vehicle is not just sitting in a lineup and not being looked after. I know some of my neighbors who all have bad stories of Past experience while dealing with other shops, all are excited to know we finally found a good reliable, honest shop. I have a high performance vehicle and must be picky with who does work on it, happy knowing that my search ends here. Highly recommended and with 5 stars.
The best mechanic, HONEST and with great service. I have been taking my vehicle here for a few years and am always happy. Recently at a dealership, I was told that my radiator was leaking and was quoted over $1800 for parts (new radiator, new thermostat, new hoses and clamps). But instead I took it to Bluenose, where they told me it was simply a clamp that had rusted. They had it fixed within 1 hr for $140! These guys are the best.
This mechanic shop is quite trusthworthy. as being a woman with limited knowledge about cars. ill never think twice about going to this mechanic shop. the lady is so kind and humble. the mechanic my car sees (my car has been going to him for about over a year now) he is honest and extremely knowledgeable. I will refer this shop to anyone i know 🤗
I was referred to Bluenose after an oil change place had damaged my car 12 years ago and I haven’t gone to another mechanic since. As a single woman with limited mechanical knowledge Phil quickly became a trusted professional I knew wouldn’t take advantage of me. I’m a tradeswomen that’s tough on vehicles and the Bluenose team always goes out of their way to make sure my vehicles are serviced correctly so I never miss any work. I’m in their shop regularly and refer them to all of my family and friends.
