Have to update this review, unfortunately first time I went I was assured car was looked at. Started having issues with the car a few months after, brought it in for service where it said low coolant. Explained what happened and that the car needed to be checked for coolant. Come back to pick up car after hours, same error message and nothing was done about it. Called the next day because I noticed the coolant cap wasn't even taken off, asked how they checked for coolant, was told that it was done without taking off the cap. Went to a family friend who serviced his own cars and asked him to check coolant. He poured a litre of coolant in front of me, capacity in my car is 2L, so very much a coolant issue that this service couldn't find. Called back to the owner to tell him about the issue, he said he will investigate and get back to me, it's been a week and a half, safe to say probably not getting a call back. It would make sense for them to refund the money I paid for them to literally turn on my car, see no errors and turn off, definitely not a 150$ kind of service without resolving the issue. Tried to tell me I have some other issues where it could have been a simple fix had they done what I asked in the first place. Not happy, I don't need someone to tell me my car is fine and maybe it's the temperature.

This is my first online review ever! Here we go, I am an older man (50+) that has seen his fair share of overpriced under quality service here in Calgary. I do not know the owner or any of the staff personally. I have been using Joyride Automotive for years now! Not once and I mean never have I felt so well served in the automobile industry. Personal service, happy professional shop demeanor, excellent knowledge from staff and owner Ben make every visit enjoyable. Just like the company name states "Joyride". I never get up sold, the pricing is extremely low for the quality service and products that are delivered in this exceptional shop, I wish I had discovered them earlier. My car runs amazing and I don't get those pesky calls like "hey it's time for an oil change" or "you should come in for a service check" trying to scare/guilt me in to a visit at the stealership! If you have not dealt with Joyride yet you are overpaying and short cutting you vehicles lifespan and peak performance. I wholeheartedly can recommend this shop to anybody as I have done on numerous occasions. Need a real mechanic then this is the place to be! I enjoy my Joyride every day and like Nike says "JUST DO IT"

  • Josh Cho

terrible experience. the tech didn't take things seriously, as my problem was intermittent and didn't show when I went. proceeded to spend the whole time chatting on the phone with a buddy while inspecting my car. spent a lot of time just talking on the phone, and the rest, just disinterestedly poking away at the car while completely distracted, at a snail's pace. Am I supposed to take the inspection report seriously? all I wanted was some peace of mind that my car was safe, but I still don't have that. even if he did a superb job, that is a very bad look. extremely unprofessional. Took 30 minutes, when it shouldn't have taken more than 10. spent far more effort trying to sell me services I didn't ask for, nor had time for. I came here because of the good reviews, and even first hand accounts of how good they were, but man, so very disappointed.

  • Brandon M

From the moment you walk in the door you know the service level is "Wow!". Ben offered a warm greeting and answered all of our questions regarding having our new tires installed. Dave was the technician tasked with completing the job, he displayed great attention to detail, inspecting each wheel for any pre-existing damage and verifying the tires we supplied were the correct fit before starting any work. Just like Ben, Dave was very pleasant to speak with and treated our vehicle with great respect. I was an Automotive Technician for 12 years before switching careers, its difficult for me to let someone else work on my vehicles, but I am at ease when I drop my vehicles off at Joyride Automotive!

  • Zachary Yakiwchuk

My experience at joyride auto was a very great, which I didn’t think was possible when it comes to going to a mechanic. Little Dave (the mechanic) was very truthful and honest when it came down to what had to be done to fix my vehicle. He gave me his insight, and his opinions on what my best options were. When we made a decision, joyride was very quick to get me in, and also get my van fixed in a efficient manner. The price was very cost friendly, the cheapest I’ve ever seen in the city. Little Dave had my van back on the road lickity split, hassle free. 10/10 would recommend joyride automotive, no matter what part of Calgary you live in. 5 stars.

  • skyler mills

Bought a vehicle from the auction, i was extremely skeptical because you never know what you can get, so i called and they got me in right away..Joyride was extremely helpful and informative explaining where some issues could arrise, pricing out the parts, how to fix those parts and they even let me see underneath and explained what to look for, and on top of that one of the mechanica took my car for a test drive. All at such an affordable price.I walked away with peace of mind and a smile. A very honest, trustworthy mechanic shop. Definitely going back there and i highly recommend these guys

  • Meggan Bouvet

Brian and the Team at Joyride are the people you want maintaining your vehicle. They are prompt, professional, knowledgeable, trustworthy, reasonable, kind, and offer a level of service you don't find everywhere. They repaired our vehicle to pass the out of province inspection , making the needed repairs in a short time for a very fair price. Our 19 year old vehicle is not brand new and they gave it the same care and attention as all the others in the shop, without quoting for unnecessary repairs. If you are looking for the right automotive repair shop for your car, Joyride is the one!

  • Evangeline Managat

My go-to automechanic! I live far SE Calgary and go out of my way to bring any issues with my Jeep Grand Cherokee to Joyride. Unlike the dealership mechanics that I've used in the past, Joyride has consistently been honest and cost competitive. They will charge exactly the time they take up using good rates and are transparent on any car issues as well as all the options I need to address them. I've never felt like they were pushing scopes of work to meet a quota or bring in sales. Thank you guys, particularly Ben and Brian, for the work you do and the integrity that you do it with!

  • Dman Dangler

Ben Chung, the owner of Joyride Automotive was an absolute pleasure to do business with. I was in desperate need of a quick repair of my work vehicle and he accommodated me when every other place I tried was weeks out. Even knowing I had nowhere else to go he was willing to help me that day and his rate was honest and less than I thought it would be. He is a young entrepreneur and a very honest and caring person. His staff helped me before they were even open and didn't have to do so. Shout out to Ben and his staff and I am so happy I found Joyride and strongly reccomend this shop.

  • Scarlette C

10/10 mechanic service. Wow these guys are always willing to go above and beyond for the customer. Needed an oil change and tires done before leaving the city and they managed to get me in same day even though they were booked up. They did a thorough check on my car and made me feel good knowing my car was taken care of. Prices are really good considering. They also dont try and take advantage of people who dont know much about cars. Ian, Dave and Brian gave outstanding customer service and i would recommend to anyone looking for mechanical work on their vehicle!

  • Martina Gebarovska

I have already done a review for this shop but I’m so impressed I asked my wife to post this review on her profile. I’m no mechanic but know a decent amount on vehicles and often do a lot of work myself. I just have had bad experiences with other shops trying to do unnecessary repairs. So when I got another good honest report back from them I was so happy to not be playing games. I feel like me and the shop are working together to help me make a good decision on repairing my vehicles. I will for sure be bringing my personal/company vehicles back to this shop.

  • Lyle Ruddy

Not happy. Bought a set of used wheels from Ben. I was on my lunch break and didn't have time to put a vernier on them to measure the bore but he said they would fit my car. Said he'd give me my money back if they didn't fit. Well they didn't fit. Contacted him and he said giving me my money back wasn't fair to him. Then tried to sell me other wheels. So don't trust his word. Maybe he's a good mechanic, maybe his prices are great. Lots of good reviews on here but he went back on his word with me. Any kind of deal you make with him, get it in writing!

  • Dustin Paisley

My Ford was leaking engine coolant and needed a tow to a dealership. I didn’t have a great experience at the dealership last time I went so I was looking for a new mechanic / shop to fix the issue. I was nervous going to a brand new place for the first time with such a serious issue but the Google reviews for Joyride reassured me. And they were certainly correct. They kept me informed throughout the process, provided honest pricing and had my vehicle fixed up in no time at all. I’ll be going to joyride for all my vehicle needs going forward!

  • Mark Tanzola

These guys are great quick and done right , I was in the middle of doing a job when I found that I had a tire leaking and going flat. I brought the truck over and was met by Ben who was polite and professional and got the tire patched right away so that I can be back on the road working. I literally had a coffee and wrote this review and the work was done. If in your in the NW varsity area I highly recommend them I know. A good Autimotive mechanic is hard to find, look no more cause Joyride Automotive is all you need.

  • Melissa B

Went in not knowing why there was a random rumble/shake with my car. They were able to figure out that it was my engine mount. Got my engine mount and muffler changed. And on top of that my radio was glitching and he went above and beyond to find me a used one, drove to airdrie to pick it up himself. Radio works as though it were new and he saved me money from buying a new one. Incredible price for all that was done and was finished within a day and a half! Amazing service, & car has been working great since then.

  • Bruce D.

A friend recommended this business to me, first thing I did was read there Google reviews, many of the words in the reviews were the same or similar to what he had told me. That sealed the deal for me so I booked it in. Absolutely the best auto repair shop I have ever dealt with in my 58 years of driving in many parts of the world. I had extensive repair work done, extensive. Enough said, From the ownership, the mechanics and the service reps, first class, and very personable.

  • Rajas

Professional, up front, punctual and fairly priced services. Ben performed emergency battery boost and checkup on short notice and inspected wear on serpentine belts upon request during the same service. Fairly quoted on belt replacement and did a punctual job on its replacement. He patiently listened to all the problems and recommended actions. He was upfront about the associated costs and did not force any services. Would definitely visit for further maintenance and repair.

  • Stephanie Chapman

Joyride Automotive is the only place I will bring my car for service. Ben is a great guy - he is hard working, honest, reliable, trustworthy and offers affordable pricing. I am always more than happy with his work. He even takes the time to explain the parts in my car to me and the work he is completing, which is always greatly appreciated. Ben is the best in the business and truly cares about his clients. I highly recommend Joyride Automotive for all your vehicles' needs!

  • Jeff Scherger

Best experience ever dealing with a mechanic shop. My girlfriend and her parents have been going there for the last couple years and it’s been nothing but awesome positive experiences. I took a wheel bearing and hub I needed pressed together to them this morning and within two hours or less I had a call saying it was ready to be picked up. There was no runaround or BS they charged me a one hour flat rate. I freaking love these guys I will not go to another shop.

  • Christopher Damian

Great place to take your vehicle for checks and fixes. Not going to lie, tge very first time going to this place I was confused to where the entrance was, but its attached to a gas station, the entrance to the garage was inside the gas station. Dealt with Ben, very knowledgeable and honest guy. His team did a great job, helped my vehicle to get to a bearable driving state and recommended a few more fix up but didn't push it on me. Decent pricing.

  • Ryan Dominic Colaco

Thank God for choosing Ben and his awsome people - He is the best automotive service technician I had at Joyride Automotive. He has biggest heart & understand me as I'm deaf. He has best attitude, very friendly and so much passions for fixing cars. Lucky to have Ben in my life. Thank you for great job fixing my car and its going really great. Excited to call him for next appointment! Highly recommend to try this @ Joyride Automotive

  • Antonio Moniz

WOW!! I just came back home rejoicing after meeting with Ben who told me after examining the vehicle breaks that I did not actually need to have the work done that was suggested by another shop. I thank God that there are still some honest mechanics in this world and they are greatly appreciated! I highly recommend this place and am definitely going back for the next repair or service/oil change etc.. Friendly place too.

  • Vidya Raj

We have been customers with Ben and his team at Joyride for 6 years. They take care of our cars quickly, honestly, and always with a top notch level of care. We always know what to expect for upcoming services and when they will be needed. The team will always accommodate any urgent work, no matter how busy they are with other jobs. We are treated with professionalism and courtesy and highly recommend Joyride to everyone.

  • Kyle Foyer

I’ve taken all my cars to Joyride and have received nothing but the best service and quality repairs done from Ben and his team. I’ve gotten other quotes from dealerships and they have been significantly more than what Joyride charges . They are honest in telling you what needs to get done and what can wait.I won’t take my cars to anyone else. They truly care about their clients and making sure your car fixed correctly.

  • Tolu (PTM)

This automotive workshop is one of the best I have ever visited in Calgary to fix my car. The technicians are skillful, professional, knowledgeable, truthful and efficient. Theie prices are reasonable and affordable and they are prompt and result oriented. They've got an excellent customer service delivery, David and Glu are just outstanding guys. I will recommend this Automobile shop any time.

  • Jason Battershill

Joyride auto was extremely professional not only in their customer care, but also in their service. I was given an honest quote for a full taillight replacement and oil change and it beat out all the competition. It's hard to find a mechanic who you feel gives you an honest quote; well, Joyride Auto did that for me and I know they will do it for you. I highly recommend this northwest mechanic!!

  • Kyle Baki

Always a pleasure seeing the team at Joyride! They have helped me on several last-minute occasions when no other shop would. Friendly staff, promt fixes and explanations of any other repairs that they reccomend is always appreciated. 10/10 service with each visit and they continue to be my favorite shop in Calgary to bring all my vehicles. Two big thumbs up to Ben & team at Joyride Automotive!

  • Danishullah Khan

I got my Honda Pilot's timing belt changed at Joyride few days ago. This was my first experience with them and it turned out to be a good one. Ben and team are very professional. They finished the job within time and I can feel the difference in my car engine's performance. Ben is very helpful and a genuine guy. And I am going back to them for my future jobs as well.

  • Mike Law

Super convenient for me because I live across the street, but I would still drive a ways to come to this team. Ben and team are great, super down to earth and honest in their quotes. They do the work well and give you an honest review about work that does/doesn’t need to get done. A quality that is sometimes hard to find and impossible to find at dealerships.

  • Darnell Glass

Easily the best mechanic shop in town. These guys are thorough, honest, efficient and competitively priced! I’ve had 5 vehicles in over the last couple years, and have nothing but great things to say about Ben and his crew. I now recommend all my friends and family to go to Joyride for any automotive need. If you’re looking for a mechanic, Ben’s your guy!

  • Paul D

These guys are great to have work on you vehicle. Awesome turn around time. They are honest and don't push for extra repairs that aren't required. Good hourly rate for labor and great part pricing. The guys are friendly and their shop is in a great location, lots of coffee shops and close to market mall, if you have to wait for your vehicle.

  • Kingsley Li

Another great experience with Ben and the Joyride fellas. Brought my vehicle in to fix a leak at the rear axel. After taking a look, Ben was very upfront about the potential problems and estimated costs. The talented team members were able to complete the repair without any major complications. Hats off to the entire Joyride Automotive team!

  • Grace Hyland

There have been multiple times in which i’ve had car troubles and these guys have always been willing to fit me into their day. My knowledge surrounding vehicles is limited so they always take their time to explain to me in layman’s terms what is wrong with my vehicle and how they’re going to fix it. Trustworthy guys and amazing service!

  • Jade Penner

I was very grateful being from out of province and in Calgary for a few days to find Joyride Automotive. Mike who worked on my vehicle was honest, efficient and ultimately trustworty. He also pointed out work I would need done in the near future as a heads up. If you need work done, definitely go to these guys, you be so glad you did.

  • Shiekh

Awesome place. The guy is very honest and professional. My car had leak of coolant and told me it will take 120$ to fix as it needed some part. After I came to pick my car, the owner told me that I don't need to pay as they did not have to use the new part. This thing touched me. Moreover he is knowledgeable mechanic.

  • 5thbasicneed

yes they're good at general diagnosis but their rate for a basic sedan is $150/hr which is quite unreasonable, got charged $$ for simple jobs like installing tires which tires shop would easily do it for half, their quote for labour and parts are also always on the higher end, reluctant to answer questions too.

  • Events Coordinator

I've used Ben's services since he had a small garage in Bowness. Ben is an honest , personable and reliable mechanic, as are his employees. I would highly recommend Joyride Automotive for any repair and/or diagnostic for your vehicle. He is a local businessman who is creating employment as his business grows.

  • Kai Fahrion

Have taken many vehicles to Joyride and have never received bad service! All of the staff know what they are talking about and treat your car with respect. They always answer all of my questions and are very well priced with great turn around times on service! Highly recommend for any car service needs!

  • Aurelia Minutoli

Will definitely be back! They were able to get the job done in a timely manor, while being professional and communicating along the way! I appreciated that they kept me in the loop as too what was going on with my truck, and when it would be complete. They were honest, fair priced and very professional!

  • R Rez

Best experience I’ve had dealing with a car mechanic shop! Honest, efficient and pleasant to deal with. They have been able to fix issues that the dealer either couldn’t or quoted a ridiculous amount. If they make an error they are quick to apologize and fix it no questions asked. Definitely recommend!

  • Mohamed Kassam

It's nice when you find a mechanic who's honest. I thought my brakes needed replacement during a recent tire change over, Ben suggested to wait out for another 4-5 months as my pads were still at 60%, I followed his guidance and got them changed. Also, he's got great prices on tires! Happy customer

  • Jerossel Gonzales

Great and informative service by Ben! I needed a quote on tires, he suggested a great set for an awesome price! I even got out of the parking lot with the tires no problem! Plus the service was a lot faster than I expected! Highly recommend coming to get your vehicle serviced by Ben and his team!

  • C B (CollyDoo)

Took my '07 Pontiac Torrent to Ben @ Joyride Automotive. He fixed the major outstanding issues after his initial diagnostics. Their prices are fair and they get the job done in an efficient and timely manner! Will be going back to him and his team in the future! Thanks guys! Very happy …

  • Rob Bibo

I've dealt joyride automotive a couple times and I can honestly say the service is always excellent . I got a flat tire and every other shop couldn't help due too it being tire season as they are too busy they got me in right away and got my tire fixed I highly recommend them.! Thanks guys !

  • Laurie Spady

  • Henry Galvis

In this place you will feel like at your own garage... they're honest and very professional.. Ben is always able to accommodate appointments even on same day. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for professional mechanics but also for great customer experience.

  • George Cheng

Very honest. I brought in my hybrid toyota highlander for issues and they were extremely honest with the diagnosis. They were not out to rip me off due to what they charged me, and was impressed with their professionalism and cost of what they preformed. I highly reccomend them.

  • D H

These guys are absolute legends. They do great work, they are thorough and straight up with you. Great customer service, but also superb workmanship. They go above and beyond. There is a reason they are literally all 5 star reviews on google, they entirely and wholly deserve it.

  • Brielle Rosa

Great auto repair shop. Best I have ever been to! They are honest, do an excellent job, and go the extra mile to make sure your car is running well. Equally important, they do not sell you things that you don't need--you can trust their assessment of your car. Fantastic!!!

I have bought winter tires from Ben in the past and recently he did a PPI for a car I was selling. Great service, efficient, honest, great prices. I would use his services any time.

  • Tobin Eberle

My van died on the way through Calgary on a weekend. Phoned the shop and the guys were able to look at it straight away, and got back to me same day. Great guys, great service.

  • Lisa Zhao

Got a mechanics inspection of my Truck here. And also a screw taken out of my tire. Bryan is always very professional and timely. His crew seems to be very hard working.

  • Ashley Benson

Definitely recommend their services! The workers are knowledgeable, reliable, fast, and don’t push for unneeded services. They are also always very kind and respectful.

  • Emily Innes

I thought my car was toast, but they managed to find the problem and fix at a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend taking my vehicle there for any reason.

  • Jane Vaasjo

We have used Joyride for the servicing of our various vehicles for at least 15 years. They have always provided excellent service and advice at a reasonable price.

  • Benjamin Ritter

12/10 best shop experience possible. These guys are professional, fast, experienced, courteous, welcoming, and way more adjectives that I'm too lazy to type out.

  • Aimee Davarani

The best prices for the best service! They completely fixed the problem with my car. Ben was an awesome, really helpful, nice guy. I recommend going to Joyride

Thanks so much to Brian and crew for repairing my vehicle! Kept me informed on work and were thorough! This will be my new shop. Definitely recommend!
