Diagnostics
Engine light, odd noise, won't start. We find the actual fault before we give you a number.
Coulee Bend, Alberta · On Highway 3
We'll tell you what needs doing. And what doesn't.
Most garages tell you they're honest. Easier to just show you the sentences we say most often.
That'll hold till spring.
If it isn't urgent, we'll say so. You can spend the money when it genuinely needs spending.
You can do that one yourself.
Some jobs are ten minutes and a socket set. Ray would rather show you than bill you for it.
Let's find out what it actually is.
We diagnose before we quote. No replacing parts one at a time hoping one of them was the problem.
What we do
Two bays, two hoists, and most jobs turned round the same day.
Engine light, odd noise, won't start. We find the actual fault before we give you a number.
Pads, rotors, shocks, steering and front end. Same day on most vehicles if the parts are in.
Seasonal swaps, punctures, balancing and four-wheel alignment. Winter tire storage available.
Scheduled maintenance for cars, half-tons and light diesel. Fluids, filters and a proper look over.
Moving to Alberta or buying from out of province. Usually booked in within the week.
Stuck between Fort Macleod and the Pass? Phone us. If we can get you rolling today, we will.
Our work
What people say
Broke down twenty minutes west of town on the way to Waterton. Ray had it diagnosed and us back on the road inside two hours, and charged less than I expected.
Took the truck in braced for a big bill on the front end. Ray drove it, put it on the hoist, and told me it would hold till spring. Nobody does that.
Eleven years I've been going to Ray. He has never once sold me something I didn't need, and he phones before he does anything.
Who you'll be dealing with
Ray has run ABC Auto at the east end of Coulee Bend since 2004. Before that he spent nine years at a dealership in Lethbridge, which is where he decided he'd rather tell people the truth than hit a monthly parts target.
Two bays, two hoists, and the coffee pot is usually on. If you're heading through on Highway 3 and something doesn't sound right, pull in and we'll have a listen.
