SWC Automotive: Service With Care delivers an Exceptional Customer Experience! Many luxury auto dealerships could learn a thing or two about customer experience from SWC Automotive. I had always taken my car back to the dealership for maintenance/repairs until my last few service experiences. I realized how overpriced they were, mediocre customer service at best, and the overwhelming need to follow their schedules/service policy. I felt more like a number rather than a valued customer. When will the luxury automotive dealerships understand? It’s not about fancier brick and mortar buildings, showrooms, and specialty coffee. What customers care most about; is how you make us feel. The dealership experience must also live up to the driving experience and when it doesn’t, customers will defect. To the amazing team at SWC Automotive: Service With Care, you are certainly committed to delivering a consistent level of experiential service at every touch point. I will certainly recommend you to others and I will see you again. Read on to see how an independent business earned a reputation for delivering consistent, exceptional customer experiences. SWC Automotive Touch Points: · Initial call was answered in friendly upbeat tone, with proper greeting, use of name recognition, brief small talk to personalize the engagement and return phone calls all done promptly. · My request for cost/information on OEM rear disc calipers/ventilated rotors by a certified technician was supplied based on my needs, not their need to reach a weekly quota. They suggested helpful options to also consider before going ahead with the work order. What time would work for your schedule? Let me try to make this work for you. We’d be happy to provide a free courtesy vehicle while work is being done or provide you a drive to/from your residence. · Car drop off. Although attendant was on the phone, she quickly made eye contact, smiled, waved and gestured to a colleague to provide immediate assistance for me. Afterwards, an apology was provided for the brief wait. A warm greeting was shared. Name recognition used throughout. Coffee offered. Walk through of the service timeframe that was predicted. · Complimentary rental provided with ease and no restrictions. Only request to fill the tank before returning. · Regular communication shared via text throughout the day, advising of timelines as well as the technician sending photos of my car showing areas that may require future attention and those that didn’t. · Pick up car. They walked me through what was completed. Reviewed the invoice in detail advising points where they were able to save me some money. They thanked me for trying their service for the first time and invited me to return again. · When I got into the car, a personalized thank you card was left on my dash with candies to enjoy on the way home. · A week later a follow up phone call was made to ensure everything was to my satisfaction, and it was. Wow, they get it!

Not happy with being mislead about the price of mounting and balancing my tires. Background - before choosing SWC, I went on Hunter's website (premium brand for tire mount and balance equipment) and searched for local shops with Hunter 'Road Force' (or Road Force Elite) machines. SWC has this equipment, is close to home and the price they quoted was competitive and I even explained at the time of booking how I found them and why I'm calling there (specifically for the equipment they have). Booked an appointment and brought my truck in with new tires in the bed. Part way through the service I get a call saying a few wheels need Road Force adjustment for an ADDITIONAL FEE of $46/wheel! If all four needed it, mount and balance at SWC is over $300. That's insane and I was not told this ahead of time. I would have assumed the quoted price included using the equipment they have, the way it was designed to be used. At the VERY least been told up front there is an additional fee...at which time I would not have gone there in the first place but I was then stuck with my truck on a hoist with no wheels. First and last time there unfortunately. Seems like a nice shop. I even "want" to use them in the future but I don't like being mislead and it makes me concerned about what other 'up charge' items might arise if my vehicle is in for service and in pieces on a hoist when you really don't have a choice but to proceed.

May 11, 2023. My spring visit for oil change and tire swap. Team is friendly and staff keeps you in the know as to the condition of your vehicle and suggested maintenance. The team helps you talk through the recommendations so that you are making wise choices. Also helps that they have a loaner vehicle for me to use. Cheers to you all. Toni November 17, 2022. Fantastic team. Friendly and courteous. Give them a try, they will not disappoint. Cheers! I received a flyer advertising services offered by SWC Automotive. It was time to schedule the tire swap and thought I would give them a try. Very professional, friendly and easy to book an appointment. The value added, I was able to obtain a loaner car for the day which was fantastic as I could go about running my errands without interruption. The service team took photos of my vehicle, ran a complete diagnostic and emailed me the results with suggestions. I truly appreciate it as there were certain items that needed to be attended to, due to safety and with out Canadian winter quickly approaching. The biggest surprise, a thank you note left on the dash along with a couple of mints. I had to smile. Customer service all the way. Thank you for a great first time experience. See you in the Spring. Cheers!

Manager Steve is absolutely rude and shouldn’t be working in customers. To question a bill and not actually have what was asked to be done by the customer and then to Kick them out of the shop bc they question the pricing… hope your business fails horribly. Sincerely and older woman on a tight budget Update: You were over, quoting and trying to rip off a woman. It was asked for a diagnostic test, which was never done. Only photos of the tires and auto body which was not asked to be done. There is no refusal to pay. Steve refused to accept payment because he did not want to answer the questions that were being asked. And then he kicked out a customer for wondering why the quote was above average pricing. Before you try to make it to be a story about refusing to pay… Her credit card was in her hand so get that straight. You are horrible, horrible company. I will never recommend you to anybody and I hope people read this and learn not to go to your place. I have found somebody, so thank you for kicking my mother out of your place because we found it for way cheaper and with proper customer service. Steve you shouldn’t be working with the public.

  • Kevin E. Gordon

I brought in my Mercedes SUV for a standard Service "B" service. After a couple days my coolant light came on and my vehicle lost heat, so I had to bring it back in. Sandra and the team re-looked at my vehicle and re-flushed on coolant which seemed to temporary fix the issue. However, the same day my low coolant light came on again and I lost heat the following day. So I dropped off my vehicle again and with a through investigation it was discovered that one of my hoses had a slight crack. The hose was replaced and everything is working as its supposed to. I was really impressed with Sandra and the team as they were quick to make availability to look at the problem immediately. It's times like these when things do go wrong and they will, you want a company that will take accountability to fix the problem which SWC Automotive consistently does. I was even more impressed with the White Glove Service as they offered to drop my vehicle off at my home at no extra charge. I will definitely be continuing to bring my vehicle for all my service needs at SWC Automative. Keep with the great work Sandra, Steven, and team! Best Regards, KG

I few months ago I was looking for an automotive business that could help me with an ongoing but annoyingly sporadic problem with my 9 year old vehicle. I had received advertising material from SWC & was drawn to their philosophy on customer service. After doing my due diligence & checking them out I decided they may just be the place I had been looking for to be my "go to" business where I felt comfortable & confident that they would be fair & honest. As a senior woman I have not always felt at ease in the world of automotive repair but Sandra, Steve , Fred and the rest of the SWC gang worked diligently to locate and fix the problem. The way they adressed & handled any problems which arose in determining exactly what the problem was spoke volumes for their integrity, patience & generosity of spirit & has renewed my faith that there are reputable business folks out their who do value their customers & do their very best to provide quality service. They will be my "go to" folks in the future. Sandy M.

I did Oil change, tire change, engine light inspection and fixing water not coming from one of the wiper nozzle. For just diagnosing water not coming out of wiper they took 92 CAD + Tax, after that another 95 CAD for labor and parts. I think its ridiculous to charge 92 cad + tax for diagnosis: 1. I was not told in advance that there will be any charge for diagnosis of such a simple matter of water not coming out of wiper. As a result, I was expecting that they will directly fix such a small issue with labor and parts charges. 2. Any literate experience mechanic would tell that there is a issue with that specific wiper nozzle and no issue with pump or anything else since water is coming out perfectly from the other nozzle. What type of rocket scientist is needed for this diagnosis? And in that way, every small issue will attract a diagnosis charge of 92 CAD which is ridiculous. I understand diagnosis charges for complex issues where there are warning lights flashing on the dashboard.

  • Rob Mair

Steven, Fred and their entire team are absolutely amazing! One thing I cannot stress enough is my high level of trust. That of which would be 6 stars with SWC Automotive. They have serviced multiple vehicles (2 Infiniti, 1 Acura, 1 Ford Mustang, 1 Dodge Ram) for me over the years and they always work with integrity and look out for your best interest. On many occasions, they have found deficiencies or issues that need my attention and to validate, provide photo's and a recommendation. With a new vehicle, the dealer who sold me the car couldn't find the problem but when I took it to SWC, they found the cause without issue. They have even made a house visit (Subject to required work) when it was far more efficient for all parties and on other occasions provided a loaner vehicle. No repair is too small or too large, and I will always refer and recommend SWC to anyone who needs a trust worthy, high calibre auto service shop.

  • Steve Giles

I've been searching for a new mechanic since I don't need to go into the office anymore for work (Sorry Howard!). I've tried a few with not much luck, but happy to say that I have found one as of today! Such a pleasant experience from booking the appt, to picking up the car (mints were a nice touch!). Everything needing to be done was fully explained by text (link to website) with pictures and why it needed to be done. I was also pleasantly surprised to be offered a free loaner car! I thought that my rear wiper motor was broke but it turned out not to be the case, so really appreciated the due diligence and honesty when it didn't turn out to be the case. For me a mechanic choice comes down to trust, reliability, and customer experience. SWC certainly checked all 3 for me! I'll miss my old mechanic, but looking forward to building another great relationship here.

  • Kerri Jensen

I was referred to SWC Automotive by a friend. I was told they are knowledgeable, honest & fair pricing. He was right but I will add amazing customer service you don't find anymore from the first call I made I knew I made the right choice going to SWC . The customer area is clean and added mini fridge with complimentary cold drinks. They completed all the work ahead of schedule and when I picked up the car, there was a thank you card with 2 mints. Perfect touch guys!! Not only was there a thank you card in my car, 3 days later I had a call to follow up with my recent experience with this automotive shop. I have been in the tire business for 25yrs so I know a lot of shops but moving to another city made going that far with my cars current state difficult. I highly recommend this shop for quality work & outstanding customer service / appreciation! I will be back

  • Sandy Goldsmith

Finding a mechanic for our cars is a lot like finding a good doctor or barber. You just want someone that's reliable, honest and knowledgeable. These guys are just that. After our previous mechanic retired, we were in search of someone we could trust that had experience. After seeing their ad in the newspaper (remember those?) and online, we decided to try them out. We gave them a challenge, as my car was having strange electronic/power issues. They were very thorough and fair priced. And the customer service is the best, always friendly and they even text us in case we cannot use our phones. We even got a loaner car while ours was being looked at. I could trust what they were telling us regarding the issue we had and will have no problem taking our vehicles there in the future. Thanks for all your help (so far), SWC!

  • Dinal Gunasekara

These guys did a great job and were very welcoming and friendly. I previously took my 98 BMW 3 Series to a well known "Performance Shop" for an alignment where they told me my tie rods were seized and all of my rear adjustments were seized and rusty. I ordered new tie rods and replaced them, when replacing I saw the old ones were not seized and they had used the wrong size wrench or something and completely rounded the holding area. I also checked the rear and there was no rust and nothing was seized. Took the car into SWC and they did a great job, had no issues aligning my car, rear is in spec and the car drives great. The other shop was just lazy and they still charged me too. Will definitely be recommending SWC to my friends who also had bad experiences at the other shop.

  • Golf Dude

Steve and his team have saved me thousands of $$ compared to Mercedes dealership! They actually found the root problem, repaired it and did a complete inspection of my ML350 SUV while it was in for these repairs! SWC is the real deal here in Burlington, friendly service, pricing that is truly "FAIR" and warranty on both Parts & Labour (who does that these days!!!) I live in Burlington and I try my best to spend my Service dollars to all Retailers in our fair city, as they are the life blood of our city! Highly, recommend SWC for your auto needs! Plus, if you need a loaner for the day while they have your car, its provided too and NO CHARGE !! Again, who does this these days!!! Give SWC a call, you will not be disappointed ! Kevin (Orchard resident).

Not surprised to see all the other alignment complaints. Got new suspension installed before hand else where and asked for a alignment to make sure everything was good even though my steering wheel was straight and everything seemed fine. Until I got an alignment. After driving a while I thought it was just the curve of the road but it’s very obviously not centred. They even test drove my car and handed me the keys after it’s clearly not fixed. Very unfortunate and unprofessional. No attempts to return my call or resolve the issue after I was assured I would be contacted by the owner. There is no other explanation other then it was done incorrectly and now I have to pay twice once for a botched job and again to fix your mistake.

  • John

Excellent Service. All work done on my car was done on time and of a very high standard . I have dealt with SWC for a few years now and have never been disappointed with the work they do . From the time you first go ( no matter what the problem ) in to the time you pick up your vehicle the service is First and you are made to feel very confident with the work being done. The Service Manager Sandra is very knowledgeable and the guys in the shop do excellent work. Matthew work on my car this time. The whole experience is very good. For those who require a Loner vehicle they also arrange that so you are never without a vehicle , which is very important for a lot of people. I would and have recommended SWC to many people.

  • Coach Nathan

Took the Mazda 3 in for a looksee just to make sure all was good for the foreseeable future and for preventative maintenance. Being my son's first car, I wanted to make it was going to survive the summer plus. Had an issue with squealing brakes which over time had lost it's lube appeal. Re-lubed and acting as they should be. Spark Plugs I wanted checked as well as I figure they saw the end of their life some 50,000 km's ago and sure enough they were quite worn and subsequently replaced. 02 Sensor was discovered to be faulty via the engine light and also was replaced. Belts also replaced due to some cracking and dryness. Overall an Extremely Positive Experience for Simple Peace of Mind Going Forward.

  • Vlad Minea

This is what I call a 5 star service !!!! I followed a flyer that I got in my mailbox couple of days ago, I needed an oil change. Setting the appointment was fast and easy over the phone, dropping the car in the morning was pleasant and professional in a friendly atmosphere. I was told about an inspection, and I was expecting the classic inspection with a discussion at the end, but to my surprise I got an incredible report full of pictures and details on my phone. When I got my car back, I got a complete estimate for all the recommended repairs ... great ... and a "thank you" card on the dash (with candies). I thank you SWC Automotive Inc., and I can tell you that you got a new customer.

  • Mandy Kennedy

I have taken my car to SWC for a few years now. I live in Hamilton but its worth the drive to Burlington because not only are they honest, they are knowledgeable and recommend only what I need done and never over price their services. I've had horrible experiences in the past with other shops but after finding these guys I will continue to be a loyal customer and appreciate their hard work and dedication in getting the job done. And just wanted to add these guys will actually explain in detail and show you the parts they need to replace because I'm the type of person who knows nothing about cars and would agree to a "Johnson Rod" if told I needed one. Again thanks for being honest guys!

  • Chris Parsons

The Team at SWC always goes above and beyond to make my vehicle repairs stress free and easy. Amazing customer service. Sandra is a pleasure to talk with and is very responsive to try to get my repair needs met with the convenience of trying to keep me working while they do that. She makes me feel like family. Steven always knows what to ask and how to help me solve the problems with the same passion for customer experience as Sandra. I just had my brakes repaired and besides having them buttery smooth again, they made it work as always with getting me in and back to work and when my work finished so were they with my repair! Awesome Shop!! I feel like family! Cheers everyone! Chris

  • KMan 325

I booked late Saturday afternoon for Monday to repair a very noisy exhaust system. No problem booking me in. I left my vehicle Sunday night in their well lit lot using the lock box with the service request form. Very quick. They sent me a text by 9:30 Monday morning with a link to my vehicle report that included picture of the items needing repair as well as items that might be considered. Simple but very effective. They texted me my vehicle would be ready by 5:00 and was just being completed when I walked in. Maybe I waited 10-15 minutes. Settled the bill with no surprises and my vehicle was waiting outside the door. This is my third visit to SWC and I will return.

  • Chris Ellerbeck

Steve, Fred and crew never fail to solve even the most challenging problems. Old cars (like mine) or new, Steve and crew are there. Fair and honest, Street Wyze has what other shops lack: heart. ...and as can be seen from the photo I added, they're not just mechanics, they're car doctors. Street Wyze isn't just custom modifications, they do it all and do so with so much care, care for every car brought into their garage and just as much for their owners. Even after I leave Burlington (hopefully soon given that city council seems hell bent on including speed bumps on every street) I won't bring my car anywhere else, Street Wyze is the best.

  • Steve Tolton

SWC was recommended to me when I mentioned to a friend that I wasn't very happy with my current mechanic. Steve at SWC was phenomenal right from the start. The care they take to ensure that each visit is not a "job" but rather an ongoing commitment to keeping my vehicles safely on the road. The team is very honest and are great at identifying what might need to be looked at down the road with absolutely no pressure to perform the service instantly. Their pricing is more than fair for our area and they stand behind their work. I would highly recommend SWC to anyone looking for a location to get service work done.

  • Alicia DeFreitas

I tried to make an appointment for an oil change with my usual mechanic. After almost a month without a call back, I decided to call SWC to see if they could do my oil change. They gave me a great appointment time, changed my oil in a very reasonable time-frame and were very supportive. Also, while other services tried to get me to pay for upgrades that were not necessary, they advised me honestly. The staff and service professionals were absolutely GREAT, caring and a pleasure to deal with. This company is a cut above and I am recommending them to all my friends and family. Thanks Sandra...you are the best!

  • Alexa von

This was my first visit here after my trusted mechanic retired. Impressed from start to finish of the whole process. Loaner vehicle was great, extremely convenient! Kind, friendly and genuine people! Their report system is incredible, high quality photos and explanations given to you prior to making any repair decisions. Had to leave my vehicle overnight for a decent sized job and it was completed before close the following day, got to keep the loaner the entire time. They leave you a lovely thank you card and some mints… love it! Will be back and recommending this shop to family and friends! Thank you!!!

  • Charlotte Boston

Clayton was extremely accommodating and helped me out when I was in a real pinch. He gave me the number of a reliable tow truck company and called me as soon as they opened in the morning to make sure everything had gone as planned. My car was being worked on immediately and was ready that day to drive away. I had quotes for services that will need to be done in the future in list of priority for my very old car that needs a lot of work done. He also took the time to explain the importance of the urgent items as well as what might be ok to hold off on. My experience was fantastic.

  • Brandon Sturge

This is an honest place to get your car fixed as they send you a detailed description of what is wrong with your car with photos. Also if they can repair a part they will do it unlike other places who will just charge you for a whole new part. AND this is the kicker I hate dropping off my car as my life stops I can’t take the kids anywhere and do groceries but they have a loaner car you can use while yours is being serviced at no charge. What? That’s right no charge! Give these guys a shot as they are doing car repairs and customer service right! This place is changing the game!

  • Prak Mistry (Mr P)

I had a squeal coming from the engine ...... the belt or pulleys were making a noise. Asked SWC to investigate and turns out to be belt rubbing against side of other parts. This was due to one of the pulleys having some play. The repair was completed but I experienced a shake in the steering wheel after the service. SWC requested that I bring the car in to be reviewed while I waited...this was accomplished within a few days and they corrected the problem. Would recommend this garage for any repairs/service and for honest feedback and fair costs.

  • Rob Treleaven

We discovered SWC this week, and found this firm to be extraordinary. The receptionist/ staff were very professional and courteous. Service was thorough and on time. Each service activity was thoroughly explained. After service was done the mechanic went over the vehicle from front to back, at no additional charge, and completed a detailed sheet for our records, including photographs, all sent to our home computer.. The reception/waiting area are very comfortable, with TV, magazines, snacks and coffee - all gratis. R. Treleaven Burlington

  • Max

Excellent service!, went in for an oil change, I was given a full run down of all the suggested work needed, which was both printed out with estimates as well as an email that included pictures of the areas of interest. I was Not made to feel like I couldn't drive away without having this work done, simply that it was needed if I was interested in keeping the car on the road for much longer. It is an older vehicle with enough km's on it to reach the moon and back. Friendly, and thorough. I'll definitely be a repeat customer.

  • Mr. Pitt

First time I used this company no problem had a great experience. Called today to ask about installing at battery and they were uninteresting in helping. They claim to offer roadside assistance but won't come & install a battery? The worst part is that they were going to do it but when they couldn't find anyone to come out today all of sudden said they don't do that when I asked to book an appointment. I will NOT be using them in the future & will be letting everyone who needs car repair to avoid this company.

  • Tammy Gauthier

This was the first time having my car serviced at SWC. I needed my rear brakes replaced and SWC was recommended by a close friend of mine. I am so glad I listened to her. The customer service was exceptional! The communication was really great, with convenient text updates and a comprehensive, easy to read summary of all the checks and balances including photos. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and they made it an easy, convenient experience. I will definitely be returning and would highly recommend.

  • Soleil Medley

Had a very good experience at SWC. They explained and sent video of the problems and I found them reasonably priced. It was great to know about the work needed and not just told but shown. Very professional, organized and clean. Shuttle service was great also and was offered a courtesy car but not needed. I believe my 16 year old car is good for another 100,000 km and I am so glad I went there. On top of the required service, I bothered them for a couple of minor fixes and they took care of it all.

  • Kim Clarke

Fantastic place to take your car for repair. Very thorough explanations, detailed breakdown of costs, staff are amazing, we felt pricing was fair. This was our second time here... Sadly we did not proceed with the repairs as car is just getting too old. Shannon and Clayton were great throughout it all. Even helping us with getting rid of it now. Treated my son (his car) with courtesy and respect. Thanks for everything. Hoping we won't have to be back... But if needs be, won't hesitate to return.

  • Richard Buhagiar

I moved from Brampton to Burlington last year and I was looking for a good mechanic to service my Mercedes. I thought I found one but when the final bill came I got the feeling I got soaked. When I needed some work done on my car I turned to SWC Automotive.They did only what was required. Car was ready when they promised and final bill came very close to their quote. I found staff very friendly and knowlegable. I will most definitly use their service again

  • Karen Mackenzie

Clayton and the entire staff at SWC are amazing. They keep you apprised every step and never do work without confirming first. They are honest and only do the work required. I love the digital readout they send by text that tells me everything about my car... what are immediate needs vs suggested service. I can then call them to go over it and decide what I want done. It is also the cleanest shop I have ever been in. Highly recommend.

  • Marilyn McLaughlin

I found the waiting room area warm and inviting with free tea while watching Netflix and a great informative assessment of my car situation. I was given options and useful information on how to go about the various issues I face with my car. The service was fast and thorough, a helpful friendly place to take my car with very reasonable cost compared to many other car repair shops. Had my oil change and repair done in good time.

  • Omar D'Angelo

Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of getting brake repair done by SWC. Absolutely stellar service! They gave me a loaner car, provided a prompt assessment with online report (including photos), all with staff that helped me to feel at ease. Definitely 5 star service! Walking back to the car, I was thinking that if this was a hotel, the only thing missing would be the mint on the pillow. And then I saw this...

  • Michael Planck

I've been coming to SWC for all my needs since 2013. The competitors around can't keep up because the service and value at SWC just keeps getting better and better. The emailed inspection reports with pictures (and follow up calls) where staff present recommendations helps make repairs and preventative maintenance easy. The prices are fair and the staff are knowledgeable, friendly and most of all helpful.

  • Nick Hrebicek

I contacted SWC in regards to a custom / non-standard trailer hitch installation. Clayton, the Service Manager, was extremely knowledgeable, courteous and quick to address the questions I had. Further, he volunteered his advice on what needed to be done so I was able to make an informed decision. Within two days I was able to bring my vehicle and have it professionally serviced. Thank you Clayton & team!

  • Carol Bourg

SWC is amazing! They fixed my malfunctioning window, that a nearby shop failed to do! They offer you a loaner car, which no other shop has ever done for me! They give you a printout of things that you could get checked out because of the age of your car! They are punctual, friendly and give detailed descriptions of what needs to be done. I highly recommend SWC for all your automotive needs! Thank you!

  • Nate Snow

Always very affordable and honest work with quick turn arounds. Very frequent and comprehensive communication and great attention to detail on every vehicle, new or old. The inspection report you get every time they have your car in, is a big plus; super helpful to plan ahead for maintenance and bigger repairs. 10/10 would recommend, have been bringing both our cars to them for a few years.

  • Esme Luna

I am very satisfied with the service I received from SWC today. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, they picked my car up at my home and returned it when service was completed. Clayton called me with all the details of what work was needed and answered all my questions. I highly recommend SWC Automotive and I will continue to take my car for any services I may need in the future.

  • Reham abed

My friend recommended this place who she used to go for frequently. I had a great first experience with them very professional & friendly staff , send you update with report and suggestions through email for what you need with great communication. Finished my car on time , I was happy with their service would comeback again and would recommend it to my friends

  • Paul Hammill

A shockingly pleasant experience, considering we all hate paying for car maintenance. From the reception, I went in without an appt, through the inspection and ultimately the work required, I was kept in formed of my choices and options. Could not have dealt with nicer people. Their rates are fair and the work exceptional. I almost look forward to going back.

  • Adam Hadley

I sound SWC on Google the morning after striking a deer. I knew o needed an alignment. They got me on the same day, did the alignment and checked for other suspension/steering issues. I was in and out quickly and their team explained what they had done and checked... And followed up a few days later by phone to ensure everything was ok. Great service.

  • BA Barakas

SWC is always my first choice when I need work done on my grande Cherokee. They are a fantastic service centre, friendly and professional staff. And I also love the email service updates that are sent to you for your confirmation to complete work as well as recommend other services that might need attention now or in the near future. A+

  • Tim Babcock

As always, I had a great experience with SWC. Sandra kept me informed with a detailed vehicle report and made suggestions that should be covered under my vehicles extended warranty through the dealer. SWC is my go to for regular maintenance. Their professionalism and thoroughness is greatly appreciated. I highly recommend SWC! Tim B

  • ikemeyina okafor

They processed a safety check and certification for me. The second time I would be using them and they exceeded my expectations this time around. I needed to run errands while my car was in their possession and they provided me a car without any additional cost. The service was very professional and the staff were nice and polite.

  • Micheal Norris

SWC is the place you want to take your car, for all of its service needs. I have used them a few times now and always had a great experience! The staff are really friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Also, after your vehicle has been inspected/worked on, you are provided a detailed report; of the work done on your vehicle.

From the time you enter the door at SWC, you see treated with professionalism and courtesy. Fair and honest. I had a car certified with them and the technology they use to keep you informed of the progress is something I've never experienced before. It is top notch. I will be back and I will recommend to others as well.

  • Marilyn Taylor

Well informed as to what work was needed and how much it would cost. In fact when the mechanic went to complete work, found that some of the parts quoted on were not needed, resulting in dollars in my pocket. Find the staff to be professional, courteous, and above board in honesty. Loaner car provided as a courtesy.

  • Joanne Takaoka

Seasonal tire change and oil change. I love that they are always proactively looking out for my vehicle. They noted my battery was weak and recommended replacing. Saves me being stranded somewhere with a dead battery. Have been bringing my vehicle here for years. Very trustworthy. I recommend to my friends.

This was my third time using SWC. I will use them again. They were friendly, reasonable and completed the service and repairs when promised. Pictures of anything recommended for service were provided by email. Cost was fair and as quoted. Car is working well. Being located in my neighbourhood is a bonus.

SWC provided a highly professional, friendly service all round. I find it hard to determine whether they are good value without doing a comparison with the VW dealer &/or competitors. But I have been extremely satisfied with the overall experience and will definitely be back. Highly recommended
