Great service

Bernhard Nickel Sep 8, 2026

This was my first time coming here and I couldn’t have had a better experience. Everyone was incredibly kind, honest, and genuinely made me feel like family. They went out of their way to help me however they could and took the time to give me honest advice about my car and what my best options were moving forward. It’s rare to find a place that makes you feel like they actually care about helping you rather than just making money. I’m so grateful for how they treated me and would absolutely recommend them to anyone. Thank you again for everything!

My wife and I are taking a road trip and I had to get my car checked. It was checked at a. convenience time and made sure we wont have any problems.

This was my first time here and it won’t be the last. A large, clean, well equipped shop, run by car enthusiasts. Quick, efficient and reasonably priced service. This will be my go to location going forward.

Imran and Geoff at Minit Auto are fantastic! They are very knowledgeable and always happy to explain anything I have questions about. I always feel like I’m getting the best service possible at Minit Auto and I really value their integrity and honesty, not something you get with some shops out there. Definitely check them out for any of your automotive needs:)

By far the best shop I’ve taken my car to. Helpful, friendly and accommodating. Thanks to Imran, Geoff and the team, I know my car is looked after. And a big plus, even my 3 month old was all smiles during his first oil change experience!

LOVE these guys! I have been to so many car repair places and going to be staying here! They actually honour their work and stand by it unlike so many other places that I have left for that reason. They will make it right. Imran and Jeff and the owners are stellar dudes! Thank You!!

Ashtar - Magician and Mentalist Aug 6, 2026

Geoff was amazing. Talked me through a repair and kept the bill low. Quoted me prices with tax in. No one has ever done that!!! Clean shop and Molly was awesome too. Glad I didn’t have to pay Audi dealership prices. Thorough and dedicated!!!! Try them out!!! The reviews here speak for themselves!!! A little out of the way a lot out of the ordinary!!!?

Imran is very helpful and professional. I needed urgent work done and he was able to get me in the same day. Work was done well and I got my car back sooner than expected which was a great help. Thanks Imran!

Woo-hoo these guys are phenomenal. Shout out to the guys here, amazing service. Thank you to Tom for problem solving and getting us on the road in 10 minutes saving our family trip. We've also used them for transmission work. Highly recommend.

Sean and Melanie Kosak Jul 14, 2026

I recently had my 2018 VW Alltrack serviced at Minit Auto on Fourth Ave in St Catharines for issues with the power windows and rear parking sensors, and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The staff were friendly, professional, and took the time to properly diagnose and repair the issues. They kept me informed throughout the process, completed the work promptly, and everything is now working exactly as it should. It’s refreshing to find an honest and knowledgeable repair shop that genuinely cares about its customers. I highly recommend Minit Auto to anyone looking for reliable, high quality automotive service. Thank you to the entire team for the excellent work!

John Mcnall Jul 10, 2026

I truly appreciated the quickness of the service I needed, the call back within minutes of my email requesting an appointment, the friendly and polite people. Being older and a woman, I felt respected and treated fairly without feeling pressured. Thank you! Edited 9 months later for my next service visit and again exceeded my expectation with their friendly, respectful, no pressure, knowledge based recommendations. Such quick service! Thanks again Imran and Jeff

Mary Ann Crompton Sep 25, 2025

Top quality repairs on my Buick's AC and coil pack. A quick diagnostic found the issue with a misfire. On the road again. Thanks guys.

Jim M. Nov 3, 2018

Imran and team did a nice job presenting what options they could do for our vehicles, and if there were some items that weren't urgent, and could wait to be fixed. They have worked on both our Chrysler minivan and VW Golf. We remained happy with this garage after they worked on each.

Ed Mamede Jun 25, 2026

Great service and shuttle service Geoff was amazing and got my car AC fixed. Highly recommend this location Thanks for your service

My family was driving to Niagara when our minivan suddenly started shaking and the engine light started flashing on the QEW. We took the next exit, parked at a winery, and searched Google for nearby mechanics. These guys were the first on the list and I think we really got lucky! From the moment I called, Jeff gained my trust because instead of immediately agreeing to my impulsive idea to tow the vehicle over, he suggested driving only if I felt it was safe to do so and explained that they were really close. We made it there, and Jeff was very transparent about the situation. He explained they would need about an hour to diagnose the issue. Since we were stranded away from home and visiting from Waterloo for a weekend trip, Jeff kindly gave us a ride back to the winery while they worked on the van. He also told us he could give us a ride to the hotel if they need more time to fix it. About 3 hours later, our car was fixed. Not only did they solve the problem quickly, but Jeff also took the time to explain in detail what was wrong and show me faulty car parts something many mechanics don't do. We were able to enjoy our stay in Niagara, spend the night, and safely drive our minivan back home thanks to Jeff and his team. As for the cost, I compared their quote with other places, and they gave us a very reasonable price, especially considering the situation and how quickly they helped us. Fantastic experience. I honestly wish we had more mechanics like this in Waterloo. Pictures from the winery we stayed in while waiting for our car (:

After a year and a half of working with the Minut Auto Service team, I continue to be impressed by their professionalism and support. Here are the comments I made a year ago, which still reflect my satisfaction today: I had my winter and all-season tires changed here, and I’m very pleased with their performance. The staff (Geoff and Imran) are knowledgeable and friendly. They provided transportation to and from work for the pickup and drop-off, making the whole experience convenient.
