Services & pricing
01 Our shop

South Oshawa Auto opened in 2014 on a simple idea: take the time to do it right, charge a fair price, and never sell a customer something they don't need. We're a two-bay independent shop tucked behind King Street West — the blue building with the roll-up doors, just past the old train overpass.

We specialise in Volvo, BMW, VW/Audi, and Honda/Toyota, but we've worked on everything from a 1986 Mercedes 300D to a 2023 Ford Maverick. Oil changes, timing belts, suspension, electrical diag, AC, rust repair — if it's got an engine and wheels, we'll look at it.

Parts sourced from NAPA Oshawa, O'Reilly's on Stevenson, and dealer direct when OEM matters. Coffee's always on — help yourself.

02 The team

Mike K. — owner, lead tech. 18 years in the trade, started at a Volvo dealer in Whitby, went independent in 2014. Drives a beat-up V70R with 380,000 km. Won't let a car leave unless he'd put his own family in it.

Jess R. — tech, diagnostics specialist. Former Honda master tech. She's the one with the oscilloscope and the patience for electrical gremlins that everyone else gave up on.

Carlos — apprentice, lube tech, shop organisation czar. Two years in, already faster on a brake job than most ten-year guys.

03 Why people come back

We photograph every repair — before and after. We explain what's urgent and what can wait. We text you videos of the issue so you can see what we're seeing. And we warranty our work: 2 years / 40,000 km on parts and labour.

No commission. No upselling. If your cabin air filter is dirty but still flowing, we'll tell you it can wait six months. We'd rather see you next year than never again.

"We treat every car like it belongs to our mother. Because it probably belongs to somebody's."

— Mike, owner. South Oshawa Auto since 2014.
