Upfront, Transparent Service

We know surprise auto repair bills are stressful. That’s why we focus on preventative maintenance, clear estimates, and free diagnostics when possible. If it’s a simple issue, we often won’t charge at all. If a diagnostic fee applies, we’ll always let you know before we start.

Need a ride while your car is in the shop? We offer loaner vehicles or drop-offs to the nearest OC Transpo station — just ask!

“Mr. Samuel (Philo) was punctual and extremely courteous. He was able to fix my car right away and even give me a few tips along the way! I definitely will be using him again if I need his services!”

“My car broke down in my driveway and Philo Towed it from my house for the repair. He showed me the results of his diagnostics and explained what was necessary and how he came to that conclusion. Philo’s prices are very competitive (factor in the tow and the overkill most shops do), and I am 100% sold on Philo. ”
