A little shady...
Garage Works
12004 149 Street NW, Edmonton, AB T5V 1P2
780-732-7287

Mom and pop own the shop and the son runs it. Good for basics and minor tuning. Excellent and tinting windows and ICE install but once again young and not super experienced in years.

I've always had very good experience with Apex Modified, and both Karl and Travis have always been helpful - I've never gotten the feeling like they were trying to brush me off because my car didn't have a lot of money spent on it (comparatively). Obviously I've never gone to them for any sort of tuning, etc, but I have no complaints.

Garage Works... yeah. Wanted to order my struts from them, called multiple times to confirm the price I was quoted a few months earlier, NEVER got a call back. Won't deal with them.

Access Automotive Repair... Good for general repairs and such. At 163st 123Avenueish.

E-Z Motorsports is a great to get cheap parts. *Despite the Bad Reputation* and they did really awesome on my tint job.

Economy Muffler isn't too bad. Just when they quote 2.5hours on a header install gets me a little pissed when the mechanic hung around for the 1.5 hours.
Garage Works never reply to my e-mails or my offline messages.. not going to bother with phoning in...

Calgary, but close enough. I've delt with almost all of the shops here in town. I'm having my block built by Davenport Motorsports (they crank out 1100HP twin turbo vette's all day long, and build and blueprint like none other) and RCTS is gonna do my tuning. RCTS is by far the most experienced turbo shop I've dealt with. Reg Reimer is a legend in turbo race cars, and they're the only authorized HKS dealer in Alberta.

Hi, i believe that you should consider visiting Apex Specialized Automotive Inc for tuning your vehicle. They are currently considered as best in the business when it comes to automotive tuning in Edmonton. To learn more about them just visit http://apexspecialized.ca/.

Apex specialized automotive was one of my customers when I worked in Edmonton. They did alot of turbo subies.

Horsepower Solutions has a serious team of guys and the manager just recently built and dragged the fastest streetcar in western Canada. They have dyno capability and do alot of high horsepower cars.

 

[mazdaspeedp]

maybe consider driving to calgary. RCTS is a really good shop

hey guys is there any auto shop where they can check for me if my oil was change to synthetic or not (hopefuly i dont have to pay anything)?

heres the back story:
recently i went to dealer for an oil change and i was told that because of power outage they cant give me regular oil so they change the oil with synthetic. Since i have lifetime free oil change so i didnt have to pay anything. So i would like someone to check if they gave me synthetic or not? Thx
