"Wow what a find!! Bruce was courteous, efficient and got the job done right. The dashboard on my Subaru lit up like a Christmas tree and within a few hours, it was all fixed and the price was very fair. Keep up the great work!!!"

Meet Bruce, Red Seal Automotive Technician
My name is Bruce. I've been working as an Automotive Technician for over 25 years and earned my Red Seal certification in 2001. Currently, I work full-time in the transportation industry.
In my spare time, I offer repair services for customers who value honest advice and quality workmanship. I carefully select projects that fit my schedule and expertise to ensure every customer receives the attention they deserve.
Please Note: Because this is a specialized, part-time business, not every repair request can be accepted. I am not set up to operate as a mobile mechanic and focus strictly on repairs that match my shop setup, schedule, tools, and expertise. I will always let you know promptly if I'm able to take on your repair.

★★★★★
"I could not start my car and, asking Gemini for a reliable auto shop near me, Rapid Auto Repair was recommended. I called Bruce and explained the situation and Bruce offered to come to my place to check out the issue. He biked to my house and went down underneath my car and hammered the starter to start my car, and found out that the starter was dying. He quoted me the part and labour to replace the starter. Next morning when I was planning to drive to Bruce's place for the fix, the starter died again and Bruce came to my place again hoping to help start the engine so as to save the towing fee to his place. Unfortunately the starter was totally dead. I had to call BCAA to tow my car to Bruce's place. Bruce finished the job within the time he promised because I had to drive to work later that afternoon. Bruce's price was reasonable and he has a good attitude. Once again I have to thank Bruce for his work."

★★★★★
"Bruce is awesome! I've taken my 2014 Scion tC to Bruce for numerous repairs including throttle body cleaning, new muffler, spoiler install, seasonal tire changeover, and brake inspection. The work is top notch and the rates are very reasonable. I will definitely be taking my car back to Rapid Auto Repair for upgrades and maintenance in the future!"
★★★★★
"He did such a good job on our Subaru so we went back to Bruce for a complete brake job on our Chevy Tahoe. His service was excellent and saved us tons of money at the parts store. We will definitely recommend him to all our friends and family members. Keep up the great work."
★★★★★
"I highly recommend Kav's services to anyone looking for an auto mechanic that is capable, honest and thorough. He has a lot of experience and does a wonderful job. He helped me fix two vehicles which needed a wide range of repairs. He is reasonable, transparent and does what he promises, a rare quality these days. I would definitely go to him when the need arises in the future."
