I cannot say enough great things about this location. We have had to deal with first choice a couple of times now, and the experience is always pleasant. They are knowledgeable, friendly, reasonable, and their customer service is second to none. I refuse to go to any other mechanic.

I've been coming here for a couple years now and they always treat me right and take excellent care of my vehicle. The customer service is top notch and they know that building a strong professional relationship with customers is key. Long story short, they really are the best choice!

Brought my car in for an out of province inspection. They were prompt, polite, up front with the cost of the inspection, communicative, and even sourced some needed parts from a wrecker for me instead of just ordering straight from the dealer for convenience, which I consider going above and beyond and saved me a significant amount of money. I am very happy with the service I recieved and would definitely go back if I needed work done in the future.

I was relying on the Google Reviews to find honest and reliable shops for my needs. However, this one is a bad one. I wonder why there are still so many great reviews...Can the shop delete bad reviews or maybe just negotiated with the people who put on bad reviews so that they can remove them?I went in for a pre-purchase inspection. It was for an old Subaru Forester. This shop told me that the vehicle is in great shape even with almost 200,000 km on it. I was so happy and purchased that vehicle right away. However, after the first a couple weeks of driving, when I went into another shop for an oil change, they told me that the head gasket was leaking...the repair was quote for about $3,600...If Best Choice Auto could have caught this issue during their 200 points inspection, I would not have to hit by this huge repair bill...

Daughter's car shocks went on HWY 2 and just inside the city blew a tire too, AMA towed to Best Choice Auto - 200 km from home on the Sunday of a long weekend - did not have much choice. It could not have been a better referral! Come Tuesday we had to handle it all over the phone. Gord and Josh were great. Honest. Fair. Excellent customer service. A very positive experience. Highly recommend Best Choice Automotive!!

Josh takes care of my '09 Subaru like it was new, gives me appointments and checks her out while he's fixing what I brought her if for. He's an old time mechanic familiar with with present time equipment. I trust him and appreciate how he looks after my car and me, if I'm a bit late or have to rebook. The name fits: Best Choice Automotive.

I came here after a recommendation from my Dad. They are great, honest and very thorough with everything they do. I’ve been hard on my vehicle and they fixed it with no issues and put up with my weekly calls of concern. I would recommend them to anyone who is needing their vehicle serviced. Thanks guys!

I was referred to Best Choice by a couple of friends and am so happy with the service here! They scanned my car because of that pesky “check engine light” and called me asap about what needed to be done. They were so fast, honest, and kind. I’ll be coming to Best Choice for future auto needs and will definitely recommend to anyone.

Went in for replacement of my brakes and rotors and to get a quote on tires. While my car was in, they found out that other parts also needed to be replaced. Spoke to Josh on the phone about everything and he provided a very thorough and detailed report with pricing and why things needed to be done. Customer service overall at this shop was amazing and I will definitely be coming back!

We’ve been taking our cars to Gord and Josh for a few years now and they are amazing. Honest and upfront about what needs to be done vs what can wait, which as non car people we fully appreciate. Also do the work on time and for a good price too. If they can’t fix something, they’ll tell you next steps. I trust both of them implicitly (which isn’t something you can typically say about many mechanics in my experience)I highly recommend Best Choice to anyone who is looking for a place to take their vehicles for repair or maintenance - 10/10

It’s amazing to find a shop like this in the city. I had flown in the day before and was trying to drive home (480 km away), but had discovered a large piece of shielding dragging off the undercarriage of my car. Not only did this shop fit me in immediately, but then they refused to charge me as it only took them a couple of minutes to pull it off. I was absolutely blown away and so grateful. A big thanks to the special team at this shop.

My family and I have been going here for years. Anytime someone mentions needing a mechanic, these are the guys I recommend. Hands down the most honest, down to earth, and skilled mechanics in the city. They are fast and professional and always make sure you understand what needs to be done vs what can be done. Their prices are fair and you will never leave feeling like you’ve in any way been taken advantage of.This is one business that lives up to their name!

I wanted to thank the mechanics at Best Choice Automative for their honesty and for their excellent customer service. I was lied to by Midas next door about my front brakes needing immediate replacement and these guys gave me the correct measurement of my brakes and told me I wouldn’t need them replaced for at least another year or two. I will be going here for any car repairs from now on!! I highly recommend this shop!

I’ve never had great luck with mechanic shops. When I took my car in for some work I was blown away with the great customer service and the work done to my car. Was schedule to get my cv joints replaced as that was what was shown on my inspection. After speaking with them, I was informed it was just a bracket that would need to be replaced. Saved me a lot of money and they were very accommodating with updating me on my car. I would highly recommend this shop and will continue to go back!!

I have been to Best Choice many times since living in the Edmonton area and it is now the only place I will take my car. All of the staff are friendly, professional, and honest. The first time I went in, I thought I needed my brakes done as I was getting some squeaks in the front end. They cleaned out the gravel that was scaping on my brake pad and told me I could easily hold off for another few thousand miles before I spent the cash on a brake job. I have been back multiple times and have always received the same quality and honest care. They are always within the time frame they have quoted unless they cannot get the part right away (which they always communicate as soon as they know). All in all, the best mechanic I have ever used!

Identified the issues and split them into 2 categories: Safety (need to do now) and Maintenance (can wait) instead of overwhelming us with a huge list. We trust their diagnosis, we trust their work, and we will definitely return and recommend them to our friends & family, thank you again Best Choice Automotive!

I lost the power steering in my SUV and brought it to best choice. I didn’t know anyone at the shop and they provided me with great drop off/pick up options so I did not have to miss any work. I am used to being treated like a number when I take my vehicle anywhere and I can tell you I WILL bring my SUV back here should I need more work. The guys were very genuine and got my car fixed very quickly for me. At no point was I waiting and wondering what was going on. Thank you so much, I am extremely happy with the service!

After calling around to multiple places to get my brakes replaced I was getting discouraged as the prices varied ridiculously. I came across Best Choice and not only was the price decent compared to the rest but the quality of service right from the first phone call with Gord really sold it! I brought my car in and the customer service with Josh was amazing. When I picked up my car they showed me what they fixed and answered my questions so that I understood what they were talking about. Josh and Gord really went above and beyond and really put my mind at ease. They now have another loyal customer!

Midas told me my brakes needed servicing for 350 bux. I said ok and when I went to pay i asked what all they did to them. They took them apart and cleaned them. Ever since I started going to best choice a few years ago they never tried to rip me off like most mechanics out there.

This was my first time using Best Choice. I needed an Out Of Province Inspection on my car. I’ve had many of these over the years and was expecting the worst as usual, some story about work that is needed, inflated estimates and the normal money grab!! But that isn’t what happened, these guys were quick, professional, did the inspection and there were no surprises. I’m impressed and I’ve found my new go to shop! Thank you for being an honest and fair shop.

- Nice people - Although every shop has inflated shop rates and cost of parts, I find Best Choice Automotive to over inflate them- Inspections are great, if you ever want to bring your vehicle in for inspection, do so, but do your research and see what really needs to get done, I have found there inspection to be very picky on components, and components that are functioning just fine, they recommend changing and do write it into the work order, so again do your research and ask to visually see the components they 'recommend' replacing - If you are okay with spending big money on your vehicle then go to these people - If you are living paycheck to paycheck then I would not recommend these people and would recommend shopping around for the right 'shop rate'

After trying out a cheaper alternatives, I can say for certain that there is a big knowledge & skill difference between low and high tier mechanics. I suspected there was an issue with my parking break. The mechanics at Best Choice were able to diagnose and fix all the issue I was concerned about. Turns out the cables were loose. My only hesitation is 7 months later, the parking break seems to be acting ip again. Could be normal wear though.

Reliable service and advice on vehicles of all types.Recently bought a new vehicle and when it came time for it’s first servicing, i just couldn’t take it to the dealership as I just didn’t feel comfortable doing so. I have been using Best Choice for years and I trust them completely based on my experience with them. I’m happy to continue having my vehicle serviced at Best Choice. A note for anyone wondering, you can have your vehicle warranty needs met by going to someone other than the dealership(s), just keep your records supplied by Best Choice and you’re good.

I have been using Best Choice Automotive for several years now and they are, by far, the BEST auto mechanic I have ever been to. They are honest and reliable and go the extra mile for their customers. Twice I have had problems with my vehicle that they discovered were small issues - a loose oil filter and a check engine light that needed to be cleared - and they resolved the problems at no charge. Their honesty and dependability are rare qualities in this day and age. Many thanks to the owner and staff - I am a customer for life!

I needed an inspection done for a used truck that I was considering purchasing. Very glad I spent the money on their inspection service, because it turned up a few costly problems that would have added around $3000 to the cost of buying. Gord and Dave were pleasant, flexible, and easy to deal with, and also willing to help fit me in on short notice twice. The inspection was thorough. They test-drove the vehicle and gave me detailed feedback over the phone, then promptly emailed a pdf of the full detailed report. The price of the inspection was affordable. The only way I might see for them to improve would be to bundle a more detailed engine analysis with the inspection, but I understand that a cheap yet satisfactory method of offering this service is not available to garages. As it stands they can do a more detailed engine inspection but it would cost more. The inspection details were not related to me directly by the tech who performed the inspection, but I did feel confident that if I'd imposed upon them they would have happily put the tech on the line. I did feel comfortable that a good understanding of the inspection issues were relayed to me, and everyone I talked to seemed knowledgeable and trustworthy.

Took my car there for a pre-purchase inspection at the request of a buyer. Unfortunately they came up with a laundry list of questionable 'issues' with a car that just came off factory warranty such as:1. 'Sun roof button intermittent' - yeah its 25 below and the sun roof is frozen shut geniuses. Suggested to buyer that there were non-existant electrical issues.2. Oil pan sweating - Oil pans aren't porous, thus they cant sweat oil - it a ridiculous idea and very astonishing that they, as mechanics, don't understand this concept. Maybe its because its 25 below outside and 20 above in your shop?3. Tires need to be replaced at the end of next year. - Wow. Great insight for the year 2021. Now the buyer wants me to pay for new tires.4. They claim it needs a new battery - and they can replace it for the paltry sum of $300. Only problem? The car starts just fine, even in 25 below...It doesn't need a new battery, which by the way, retails for $120 and takes 5 minutes to replace.5. etc. etc.Whats worse? They work bankers hours so I had to waste 2 afternoons to drop the car off and pick it up.In the end the buyer demanded that I split the cost of all these BS 'repairs' that weren't required, and ended up walking away from the agreement we had because of this bogus inspection, costing me the sale.I'd avoid this place at all costs and stick to a more reputable shop like the dealership who likely isn't trying to up-sell a bunch of garbage that isn't required.

I love this place. I'm a new car owner and never once did they try to up sell or take advantage of my lack of vehicle knowledge. They're straight to the point on what needs to be done and are so incredibly polite. I was passed my withdrawal on my debit card unknowingly and I needed to get my car out before they shut down for the holidays, two weeks without a car. The employees must have seen the sheer panic and frustration on my face because as I was leaving to head back to work they suggested I go to bank to withdraw the money. The owner himself insisted to drive me to the bank. The shop stayed opened passed the closing time just help me out. They didn't need to do that they could have just said too bad and held my car till the new year, but they didn't. They went above and beyond to help me out and have a car for the holidays to be able to see my family who live out of town.

“Best Choice Auto has always been the best!”
Very helpful in getting my car repaired and back on the road. Reasonably priced and Josh always goes the extra mile to ensure you are satisfied with the work that’s been done. I appreciate that Josh always takes the time to explain the mechanical issues and shows you the broken down parts that required replacement. I’m very grateful to Josh and his knowledgeable team for making sure my car continues to run well! My family will always use Best Choice Auto for all our auto repair requirements.

“Thanks Best Choice! You saved me money and time.”
I needed a quick fix on an old van and Best Choice came through. Some parts were still under warranty, which made it an affordable repair and allows me to use my trusted old work horse of a van for a little bit longer without having to find a replacement vehicle. Thanks Best Choice! You saved me money and time, which is really appreciated during these difficult times.

“…these [are] people who could be trusted and wanted to help.”
I brought my car here just over a week ago after a TERRIBLE experience with Southtown Chrysler. My car was making a loud obnoxious noise and when I brought it to Southtown Chrysler they gave me an estimate of over $9000 to fix everything that was wrong with my Jeep ($4000 estimate just to fix the “urgent” stuff). I didn’t feel comfortable at all with their mechanic so I called Best Choice Automotive in tears asking them if they could help. Every person I dealt with on the phone and in person were friendly, helpful and empathetic. Gord took the time to explain to me exactly what was wrong with my vehicle and gave me a game plan of how to fix it. He triaged what needed to be fixed right away and what could wait to be fixed a little while longer. From my first phone call to their shop I got the impression that these were people who could be trusted and wanted to help. I would highly recommend this shop to all of my friends and family.

“Not a place where you need to worry about being taken advantage of…”
This is the only automotive repair shop I would go to in Edmonton. Every time I’ve dropped by, Gord has given me absolutely great customer service. He not only knows his stuff but will patiently explain everything to you – even if your knowledge of car mechanics is virtually inexistent 🙂 The prices are fair, you know exactly what you are paying for and several times I ended up being charged for less than the original quote. This is definitely not a place where you need to worry about being taking advantage of but where you can trust the staff 🙂

Thank you so very much for helping out my son Shannon today. He just called to tell me that his car (2004 Honda Civic) was ready for his trip to work this afternoon. He was frustrated and not sure what to do with the car after his little mishap on Sunday so I told him to go to Best Choice. He is very happy and so is Dad here in Ontario.

“They are the ONLY choice!”
Best Choice Automotive, is truly the best auto repair shop in Edmonton. Our experience with Gord and his team was nothing but top notch ! Their knowledge on vehicles reassured me that my vehicle was in good hands. When looking for an auto shop, I searched many on the Internet and came across Best Choice. After reading the reviews I knew this was the shop for me. The majority of the reviews were positive which sometimes I am a little hesitant to believe however when reading the negative reviews it was apparent that some people are cheaping out on their vehicles and are expecting a band-aid solution to fix a major repair. This is where Best Choice shows their honesty, integrity and professional service. Some may say that this is “upselling” or a money grab, however I see it as a traffic safety concern. If your vehicle is not road worthy, Gord will be 100% truthful. This demonstrates his compassion and concern for public safety.
I would not hesitate in taking my vehicle to Best Choice. They are the ONLY choice!

“Outstanding, knowledgeable, honest service.”
Outstanding, knowledgeable, honest service. Have never been up-sold. One experience of repair not addressing the problem: this was fully corrected with owner and staff doing everything to compensate for inconvenience by offering extraordinary service and reduced charges. (Initial repair problem occurred because a reasonable solution to malfunction was tried first in order to keep costs low – second solution completely fixed the malfunction.) Over several services on three different, older model vehicles I have developed a relationship of trust in the service, charges, and results at Best Choice.

“…a fair deal and quality work”
I searched the web for a reliable auto repair shop in Edmonton. Having done the back yard apprentice, Canadian tire, looks good but in the end was out to get your money route, I came upon Best Choice Auto. After reading reviews and checking with AMA I was sure this was the place to go. I couldn’t be happier, Gord and Josh are true gentlemen. Friendly same day service with no nonsense realistic explanations and no unwanted add ons. My vehicle feels and responds safely and I’m more than happy with my entire experience. Having recently experienced a heart attack Gord had many helpful tips and supportive words. Gord even took the time to call me the next day to see if I was happy, who does that any more? This shop exemplifies what customer service SHOULD be! You can confidently take your vehicle to Best choice knowing you are getting a fair deal and quality work.

“…they are beyond professional.”
These guys are exceptional. I spoke with both Joshua and Gord a number of times from the booking to the completion of a front end inspection and they are beyond professional. Very courteous and you can really tell that they are totally devoted to making sure their customers are well-informed and that the job is done immaculately.

“…awesome service and pleasant people to deal with.”
I recently took my car to Best Choice, what awesome service and pleasant people to deal with. I requested that they only repair what was needed and that is exactly what Gord and his crew did. I will take my car there again if need be, it is hard to find an automotive repair company that doesn’t try to fix more than what you asked for. Thanks fellows, you are great!!!

“It was all completely satisfying”
I drive a 13 year old Acura and for the first 10 years, had it serviced at the dealer. But that eventually didn’t make sense. I went to Canadian Tire where they specialize in up-selling: oh, you want this? Then you must also want this and this. Not satisfying and it is a bit of a zoo over there. A friend recommended Best Choice to me and it is very close to where I live. When I went there, I felt like they were totally on my side – wanting to help keep the car running well and saving me money. A couple of things that need attention were put off until the snow clears. It’s family-owned and operated. I came early so they could work on it straight away and waited at the Fief and Dekel coffee shop virtually next door. It was all completely satisfying. If you like them, it’s okay to let them know I sent you. *That helps me with expenses the next time I go. (Google+ Review)

“…was honest and straightforward”
Had a horrific squeal when turning wheels, figured the strut towers bearing plates were done and planned on removing everything and taking it to Best Choice to disassemble the towers. The fix was either going to cost me hundreds of dollars or many hours of work. I spoke with the owner over the phone who said I should come by for him to hear the noise to just confirm it’s the struts and not something worse. Once there he said it was just the ball joints, insisted to take it up on ramp, and with a needle he lubricated the “factory sealed” joints. Done.
I was stunned. I expected him to “find” a serious problem and take my first born as a down payment, but no. He was honest and straightforward. Guess I know where I’m going for my next wheel alignment. (Yelp Review)

“Gord is the kind of mechanic you can trust”
I had Gord and his staff work on my car to repair a difficult dashboard (electrical) issue; they did a nice job, making sure everything worked perfectly. It’s an older car (1987 BMW) and they worked hard to find the correct parts. I was happy to find they had a mechanic who had quite a bit of experience working on European cars. Gord is the kind of mechanic you can trust. If you’re looking for an honest auto repair shop in south Edmonton; I recommend Best Choice Automotive (Google+ Review)

“The service has been impeccable”
Before my sister moved to Calgary to begin a new life, she gave me one of the best departing gifts. She referred me to Best Choice Automotive. She had been a very satisfied customer for several years. Upon my becoming unhappy with the dealership where I purchased my VW Beetle and their impersonal (yet expensive) service, I decided to follow my sister’s referral to Best Choice. My Beetle and I have never looked back. The service has been impeccable and their patience with dealing with someone whose car knowledge is nil has been thoughtful and honest. They live up to their cost estimate, provide clear explanation(s) for work which needs to be done and always deliver within an appropriate time frame. As I have no plans to move to Calgary, Best Choice is going to have this sister hanging around for a long time!

“The service you offer is always first rate”
I had my MPV van in for service on Tuesday July 31st and just want to say ‘Thanks’. The service you offer is always first rate. It is obvious that you care about your customers. I called last minute but you still managed to find room for me and get my concerns addressed. You have provided peace of mind and that is very valuable. All I can say is Thank you!

“I’ll definitely be back for any future repairs and regular maintenance”
To Best Choice Automotive, Thank you so much for doing work on my truck. Everything was explained to me in a way that I would understand and I felt confident in the work that was done. Going into a mechanics shop as a female can sometimes be unsettling, you never know if you’re going to get taken advantage of for not knowing much about vehicles;In 16 years of coming here I never got that feeling once. I would more than recommend my friends to come and get their vehicles serviced. It’s nice to know that places still exist where customer satisfaction isn’t taken for granted. Thank you again for taking care of my truck and getting me back on the road quickly and safely. I’ll definitely be back for any future repairs and regular maintenance.

“Best Choice Automotive is one of the finest I have ever dealt with”
Gord and Josh Schroder at Best Choice Automotive run a first class operation. Honest, upfront service and value for your dollar are just some of their trademarks. Gord and Josh are very good listeners and communicators. They repair only what needs to be done. If something happens after the fact, they stand behind work in every possible way. Best Choice has been inspecting and reconditioning our inventory at Mac James Motors since 1996. We are very pleased with their work and great service. I have been running car dealerships since 1975. In that time, I have dealt with many different shops. Best Choice Automotive is one of the finest I have ever dealt with.Hugh McColl

“I would recommend Best Choice Automotive to everyone!!”
Best Choice Automotive truly is the best choice you can make to service your vehicle. It is a family owned and operated business and you can trust them like your own family. When I sold one of my former vehicles I sold it privately. The prospective buyer wanted to see the service records and also wanted to have it checked by an AMA recognized service facility. Imagine their surprise to find out that Best Choice Auto is one such facility, and that was where the vehicle had been serviced since I bought it new. I think that sealed the deal right then and there. I would recommend Best Choice Automotive to everyone!!

Best Choice Automotive Repair Edmonton – Review by Mark P.
“…very happy and pleased…”
My name is Mark Patterson and I am from Texas and have been working in Canada for a little over two years. I am 43 years of age and have had my fair share of dealing with shady and dishonest mechanics through the years that would overcharge you or tell you that you needed extra repairs that were not necessary. So; I did not expect much from a mechanic here in Canada either, (No offense Canadians). But; I was more than fortunate and truly honored to meet a mechanic by the name of Mr. Gord Schroder who is the proprietor of “Best Choice Automotive” and I don’t think you could name a shop with a more appropriate name. So; getting back to my story I was looking up automotive shops on my GPS, trying to find a shop that would look at my power steering problems. I was not having much luck because it was getting late and it seemed no one wanted to look at it that late in the day, until I was lucky enough to get a hold of Josh Schroder in which he told me to go ahead and bring it by and they would take a quick look at it. Well after arriving and waiting about 15 minutes Mr. Gord Schroder called me to the back of the shop and pointed out some cracks in my hoses and the possibility that I could have damaged my power steering pump due to running the fluid so low and it was making a whining sound. I explained to him that I had to have the truck the next day due to an appointment with a Cardiologist. Gord assured me he would rush to find the problems and only fix what was needed and would make every attempt possible to have it ready in time for my appointment. For the folks who have not had the Honor to meet this “Honorable Mountain of a Man”, Gord played semi-professional Football for the Lloydminster Vandals, jersey number 56. Being true to his on code of ethics on and off the field, he has instilled those very core values in his business as well. Not only did he fix my hoses in time for my appointment the next day he also rotated my tires, changed my oil, filter, cleaned my cold air intake filter and topped off all of my fluids. All of this at a very more than fair price and informed me that I did not need a new power steering pump as most shops would have. And if that was not enough he fixed a headlight free of charge and took care of a sensor I was having issues with and got rid of an old piece of gym equipment that was sitting in my truck since I arrived in Canada free of charge, even though I offered to pay for it. As I was leaving his establishment for my Dr. Appointment, he asked me to drop back by so he could double check the exceptional work he done to make sure that everything was operating correctly and to make sure there were no more leaks. He also took the time to sit, discuss and share his own battles and experiences with a past heart attack and related issues. I can truly say that Gord, his son Josh and his exceptional team of experts was one of the most pleasurable experiences I have had here in Canada in the last two years. So if you are in the market for an all-around fair, just and professional kind Mechanic, there would be no one more that I would recommend in Canada or Texas. Thank you most humbly Mr. Schroder and God bless you, the world could surely use more establishments with the loyalty, kindness and integrity to you and your team show and exemplify to your customers!  As I left his parting words stuck with me as he said and I quote “We fix cars but we care about people”

“Good service again”
Good service again. Thanks for the thorough inspection and preventative maintenance recommendations. Providing a recommended time frame as opposed to the hard sell is much appreciated. Josh is great to deal with and the work done is always reliable.

Best Choice Automotive Repair Edmonton – Review by Rick M.
“…their mechanical skills are remarkable”
My 2001 Dodge Ram pick-up would start reliably every time, but after 2 or 3 minutes of running the engine would lose power and begin to mis-fire and sputter. This problem would go away if I simply let the truck idle for about 3 more minutes. So while it was a big nuisance, it wasn’t a critical issue. After spending a total of over $2000 at various automotive shops (2 independents, 2 Dodge dealers and Cdn Tire) I did some research on line and came across Best Choice Automotive and was impressed that they actually published their Core Values on their website. So I decided to take it to them to see if they could solve the puzzle. After a day of research and analyzing Gord identified the most likely cause of the issue and provided me with his recommended course of action including the likely outcomes and risks. To make a long story short, I accepted Gord’s recommendation and authourized the work. His diagnosis was right on and the problem has been resolved. The total cost of the repair was more than fair as I believe they did not charge me for a good portion of the diagnostic work. While their mechanical skills are remarkable, what impressed me most was how they lived up to and demonstrated their Core Values.

“They really made my wife feel comfortable by explaining anything she asked.”
My wife and I have been going to Best Choice for a few years now.  AMA recommended them, and they’ve been great!  They really made my wife feel comfortable by explaining anything she asked. They’re very transparent on what they’re doing.  There were a few specialty items that they couldn’t fix, and they spent the time tracking down a few other mechanics for us.  I’d definitely recommend them.
