Awesome place. Tech's are sooo knowledgable
Got stranded in Cochrane on the long weekend with a motorhome thermostat jammed so hard closed that I though it must be the head gasket. Although JD's was not open that weekend, nobody else was either so we parked it in front and dropped the keys in - Dean was great to deal with and very pragmatic - e.g. the bolts broke off of the housing but he only charged me 0.6 hours to drill those out and fix them. I wish I could find a shop like this a little closer to home, I would like to go there under less stressful circumstances.
Had issue with vehicle making thumping noise. Took back to dealer, they proposed almost $2700 in repairs that, when did not make sense to me (mostly to do with shocks and bushings) given the noise and when you could hear it. Took to JD's for 2nd opinion, Dean diagnosed brakes rusted to rotor as it had sat for a month without moving, I agreed to replace the rotor, came to just over $200 and totally fixed the issue.
I would like to express my total satisfaction with this repair center. I have taken both of my vehicles in and found the repairs on budget (or less than quoted) and done on time. No one want to spend money on repairs, but cars and trucks need repairs from time to time, and JD's Auto has proven to be a good place to get service.
