I was looking to buy a 2nd hand Nissan Leaf and aside from what I've read online and Youtube videos, I don't have extensive knowledge on EVs. I needed a pre-purchase inspection to give me at least a level of assurance that the vehicle I'm looking at does not have hidden problems. While searching the web for a shop with EV expertise, I came across Black Bear Auto Service, and I'm glad I did. Simon received training for EVs and in addition to all the usual checks on a car, was able to evaluate the battery. He took the time to go over the SOC, battery health, and max/min voltage of each cell. This helped me make an informed purchase decision and I greatly appreciate Simon at Black Bear for all his help. I highly recommend this auto shop.

Thanks to Black Bear Auto Service, My 2003 Ford E350 Superduty work van is my go to work van. Had this van since 2003, now mileage is 472xxx kms, thanks to Duane & Simon and their staff getting the complete all 4 brakes replaced. Cost me close to $3600 but well worth it. My mechanic retired and closed shop, now they are my go to shop for repairs. This van is getting old and hard to get parts, their supplier had parts and took 2 days to get back to me. Keep up with the excellent service.

Black Bear Auto is outstanding and they do exceptional work! I have had an amazing experience with the team! The first time I brought in my truck was for a 3 inch lift install. Before bringing it in I called them a couple times and each phone call was very professional and they were thorough on answering any questions I had. On top of that the quote I was given was spot on and very reasonable. Unfortunately my lower control arms were seized, which is common on a truck as old as mine and that made the camber kit install and alignment not possible to do, however they were quick to let me know that and explained thoroughly the issue that it would cause. Even with this issue they still made sure to get the lift kit installed and to the best of their ability drivable without an alignment ( personally I think it was pretty spot on and had no issues driving it ). What was also amazing and usually unheard of is that they stayed well over a hour after close to make sure they had my truck ready to pickup on that day since I had to go to the island the next day ! That alone sold me on coming back for any other repairs! The second time I brought in my truck was for the replacement of my seized lower control arms as well as the camber kit install and alignment. I was on quite a tight budget for this repair and they were very understanding and went above and beyond on working with me on an exceptional price point! I cannot thank the owner enough for this! Before bringing it in not only were they able to fit me in with very short notice they were also quick to let me know that it was not guaranteed to be done on the day of and I was still able to bring in my truck a day earlier then scheduled! On top of that they worked very hard, including cutting through the bolts / using a torch to fight with some parts, as my truck is quite old, and got this done without any additional costs even though most shops would’ve just replaced the parts! There was also additional time on the labour portion of the repair, however they still met me at the quote we had talked about! For that they have my upmost gratitude and appreciation! By far the best mechanics I have ever dealt with and I will definitely be back. Thank you guys x1000!! James

As a local guide I can honestly say that Duane and his lads helped me out with a pre purchase inspection on a Tacoma. He was quick, detailed, and gave me really great advice. I would recommend this place to any of my friends and none of my enemies. Black bears are lovely mammals and it seems fitting to name a great auto shop after such a terrific creature.
