What we do
Diagnostics, AC, transmission — and the small stuff, too.
Bring the car in, leave the keys, get a phone call before anything is touched. That’s the whole approach.
AC & Climate
Diagnose the leak, replace the condenser, evacuate and recharge. Cold air, fixed properly, ready for summer.
Transmission Service
Drain and fill, fluid checks, shifting concerns. Catch problems before they cost you a transmission.
Tires
Mounting, balancing, and the seasonal set-over. Call ahead so we can have your set ready when you pull in.
Regular Maintenance
Oil, fluids, filters, the schedule the manual asks for. The kind of upkeep that keeps a car out of the shop for everything else.
Last-Minute Appointments
Saturday morning, something needs looking at — call and we’ll see what we can fit in. Often more than you’d expect.
Sure Choice is always a good choice.

★★★★★
Such a great shop. It is my local shop and very convenient, but what keeps me coming back is how honest and fair the team is. As a woman, going to auto shops can feel intimidating, but I have never felt that way here. The staff always go above and beyond, making sure I feel comfortable and informed about my car. Special shoutout to Tristan, their mechanic, who took the time to listen to me ramble about my car concern this morning and reassured me that everything will be looked at. I have been coming here for all my regular maintenance and have always had a fantastic experience. I highly recommend Sure Choice Auto for trustworthy, friendly, and fair service.

This is hands down the best mechanic ever! My whole family uses them along with many of my grandfather’s friends. Joe and his son are amazing, anytime our vehicles have issues they always find time to fit us in and fix it quickly. They always communicate with their customers before proceeding with repairs. They are very honest and affordable, would recommend!

New to the area and discovered this shop on a Saturday morning. They were accomodating of a last minute appointment and completed it earlier than promised. Job was well done and I am highly satisfied. If you are nearby and looking for a mechanic, Id give Sure Choice a chance.

My car’s AC wasn’t working so I took it to Sure Choice. They diagnosed the issue, found the leakage and replaced the condenser. AC has been ice cold afterwards even in the middle of summer. They also drained and filled the transmission fluid. It’s been a few months since they serviced the car and there has been no issues since. Totally recommend!

Joe at Sure Choice has always delt with me in a fair manor. I have never felt abused as a dude who knows virtually nothing about mechanics when dealing with them. As a matter of fact, years ago I bought a 2000 Ford Expedition from a friend in California. It had 60,000 miles when I drove it to Toronto. Two weeks after I registered the vehicle here my transmission started jerking the car , so I had to get it towed to Sure Choice. The vehicle was just over 5 years old and always serviced at the dealership. I didn’t trust Ford as they originally told me that I could transfer the Ford extended warranty that my friend had on it in L.A. and I just had to pay $100. Well that fell through. Joe said his guys really didn’t have much time on this vehicle and if I could leave it he would have them diagnose the problem in their spare time which would save money. Joe kept it 3 weeks and ultimately found that a screw was loose in the “ Brain” of the car. Since it started to happen two days after I left it at the dealership for a day so they could transfer the extended warranty, which they didn’t. Sure Choice is always a good choice
