Why it matters
Stay ahead of breakdowns, warranty questions and resale headaches.
Small issues are easier to deal with in the bay than on the side of the road.
Something feels different
A new noise, a pull, a vibration or a smell. Book it in and we will take a look.
Due for service
Your owner's manual or a reminder light says it is time.
Before a long drive
A check before a road trip or a ferry ride off the island.
Seasonal changeover
A good time to look over fluids, wipers, lights and the battery.
Buying a used vehicle
An inspection before you buy, so you know what you are getting.
Warning lights
Any light on the dash you are not sure about. Call us if it is flashing.

The M.A.P. promise
The work it needs, not the upsell.
We are an authorized Motorist Assurance Program service centre. That means work gets recommended because an inspection shows it is needed, and we will tell you what can wait.
You get a plain explanation and a call before anything extra is done.
Maintenance questions, answered
The things Nanaimo drivers ask us.
Straight answers. If yours is not here, call the shop and ask.
Do I need an appointment?
Booking ahead is best so we can have the bay ready. Call the shop if something comes up.
Will servicing here affect my warranty?
Following the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual is what matters. Ask us if you are not sure what yours needs.
Will you call before doing extra work?
Yes. Nothing beyond what you approved gets done without a call first.
Do you work on trucks and SUVs?
We work on most cars, trucks and SUVs. Call the shop if you want to check yours.
How do I know what is due?
Your owner's manual has the schedule. Bring the vehicle in and we will tell you where it stands.
What does M.A.P. mean for me?
The Motorist Assurance Program sets standards for what gets recommended, so you are not sold work you do not need.
