Twenty Minutes Down the Henday.

Auto Repair for Sherwood Park Drivers

We are not in Sherwood Park. We are at 2687 96 Street NW in south Edmonton, about twenty minutes down the Anthony Henday, and we say that up front because you should know what you are choosing before you drive anywhere.

Plenty of our regulars live in Sherwood Park. Most of them either work on this side of the city, or started with us when they lived closer and decided the drive was worth keeping. If neither of those is you, a good shop in the Park will be more convenient — and we would rather say so than waste your morning.

If you are still reading, here is what people make the drive for.

Why People Come From the Park

The honest answer is that they stopped trusting somewhere closer.

A & R has been at the same address since 1987. Mark, the owner, started here as an apprentice more than twenty years ago and is still the person under your car — which is unusual enough in this trade to be worth mentioning. We are AMVIC licensed, NAPA AutoPro, and an AMA/CAA Approved Auto Repair Facility, so there is an independent complaints route that does not run through us.

What that turns into day to day is simple: you get told what the car actually needs, you get shown the worn part rather than described it, and when something can wait until spring we say so. That is the whole proposition, and it is why people drive past several shops to get here.

Making the Drive Worth It

If you are coming from the Park, do not come for one small thing. Book the trip properly and get more done in one visit.

The obvious pairing is an oil change with a tire rotation — the car is on the hoist and the wheels are already off, so the rotation costs you no extra time. Seasonal changeover is the other one: bring it in for the swap and have the oil done while it is up. If you are due an inspection, that can usually go in the same appointment.

Tell us when you book that you are driving in from Sherwood Park and we will try to schedule you so the car is ready the same day rather than leaving you stranded on the wrong side of the Henday.

What We Do

Oil changes and maintenance, tires — including repairs, mounting, balancing, seasonal changeover and storage — brakes, steering and suspension, engine diagnostics, and out-of-province, salvage and pre-purchase inspections.

Tire storage is worth a specific mention for anyone driving in. If we store your off-season set, you are not hauling four tires across the city twice a year in the back of the car. You arrive, we swap, you leave.

Getting Here From Sherwood Park

Anthony Henday southbound, exit toward south Edmonton, and we are on 96 Street NW near 26 Avenue. Roughly twenty minutes outside rush hour.

If you are coming from the north end of the Park, Whitemud Drive westbound then south is usually about the same. Either way, it is a straightforward run with no downtown involved.
