5 star review of young street garage ottawa

They quickly fixed the problem with my Volvo and the price was much lower that what I was expecting. All the staff that I interacted with were very helpful, respectful and friendly and I will definitely come back again. I had a much better experience at this garage than all of the experiences I have had at the Volvo Dealership...

Excellent service and good prices. I saved just over $500 on a complete brake job from going to the dealer.

Always a great experience here whether a planned service appointment or last minute emergency repair. Fair prices, honest employees and quality work! The place is always packed but they always manage to get my older car up and running within a day or 2.

5 star review of young street garage ottawa

Took our car here for an electrical issue with the headlights. Likely diagnosis turned out to be a part which was still under warranty (unbeknownst to us since we bought the car used from a different dealer, and it wasn't covered by our third party warranty). Young Street could easily have charged us the $2K+ and did the work, but instead contacted the dealership with the VIN to confirm warranty coverage and sent us there. [ READ MORE... ]

Road Force® Balancing at Young Street Garage Ottawa

Minimize road vibrations to make your drives much more comfortable

If you want to enhance your driving comfort, our Hunter Road Force balancing service can be requested for a small extra cost that’s well worth it.

Know More about Road Force Balancing...

What is Road Force Balancing?

All wheel balance services pinpoint tire and wheel imbalance problems like vibration and tread wear.

A regular tire balancer measures static and dynamic imbalances that cause a tire to vibrate or shimmy. While a regular tire balancer can correct weight distribution problems within the tire/wheel assembly, it isn’t designed to locate other causes of vibration.

The Hunter Road Force Balancer simulates driving conditions, like the weight of the vehicle on the tire and wheel while in motion. The system detects weight imbalance along with other causes of vibration that a regular wheel and tire balancer misses.

We use the Hunter Road Force Balancer to identify the position and amount of imbalance in your car or SUV tire and wheel assemblies.

WE SPECIALIZE IN

A FULL RANGE OF AUTOMOTIVE SERVICES!

Brakes

A piece of advice that you should always take to heart when operating a car is “always look after your brakes”. Sound advice as it is always more important to be able to stop than go. Brakes are one of the most important pieces of safety equipment on any vehicle and should never be compromised.

Transmission

Manual or automatic? You have your preferences but we say, whichever way you drive, we know how to shift you into high gear. Smooth-shifting improves mileage. It never pays, in the long run, to ignore worn out or malfunctioning car parts.  Proper maintenance of the transmission will improve its longevity.

Oil Change

Old oil can cause undue wear and tear on your engine and low-level oil can cause friction and overheating. Neglecting routine oil changes can void warranties, not to mention shorten the life of one of your most expensive investments. Car experts always advise car owners to change the oil after every 6,000-8,000 kilometers to ensure longer engine life and optimum performance.

Mufflers & Exhaust

There’s nothing more annoying than a noisy muffler.  Not only does it sound bad but it also degrades your car’s performance and may also be a safety hazard for your passengers.  Don’t take chances.  Let us do an inspection and if anything needs to be replaced, we can take care of that for you.

Tires

To ensure that your tires are always in tip-top condition we suggest you check your tire pressure regularly. All tires have tire tread wear indicators, small rubber markers in the tread to show you the minimum depth that your tire tread should be. If you are nearing these markers, it’s time to replace the tires.

Vehicle Maintenance

Everybody wants to drive a reliable vehicle. We want to make sure your car is maintained as a preventative measure to minimize unexpected breakdowns.  A tune-up can increase your long term reliability and longevity of the engine. Book your appointment today to get your car into tip top condition.

Heating & Cooling

We are so used to the concept of heating and air conditioning in our vehicles that we hardly take notice of it. That is only until it stops working. It’s a rare day in Ottawa that just opening the vent or window keeps you comfortable. We can make sure you’re comfortable the other 300 days of the year.

Steering & Suspension

A worn shock absorber or strut might not only make your ride less comfortable, but it also could lead to increased stopping distance, reduced steering precision and degraded stability in some situations. Replacing a few worn under-car parts could make a world of difference in your driving experience.

Electrical Diagnostics

Cars have changed a lot.  They are highly computerized.  They need well trained technicians with advanced diagnostics computers to pinpoint any issues that your car may have.  While your battery is an important part of your electrical system, there are many other circuits that go to every area of your car that need to be checked.  We can take care of that for you.

Your loyalty is our biggest asset.

We work hard to earn it.

Took our car here for an electrical issue with the headlights. Likely diagnosis turned out to be a part which was still under warranty (unbeknownst to us since we bought the car used from a different dealer, and it wasn’t covered by our third party warranty). Young Street could easily have charged us the $2K+ and did the work, but instead contacted the dealership with the VIN to confirm warranty coverage and sent us there.

After this failed to remedy the issue (although the dealership concurred with the likely diagnosis), we went back to Young Street (unsatisfied with the customer service and apparent lack of knowledge at the dealership). It took a few days to get looked at, but once they did, the car was diagnosed and fixed same-day, and at a 40% savings, nearly $800 less than the LEAST expensive likely solution proposed by the dealership, although they essentially said they had no idea what the issue was and probably would have hit us for hours of trial and error labour!

I have to say, the honesty, customer service, and expertise of this shop really impressed. Not only do they know their stuff, but they explain clearly and completely to laymen, a point that was greatly appreciated by my wife who hates being condescended to at other shops.

Other customers there seem to be regulars, and I understand the loyal customer base!
