Auto Repair Services in South Edmonton
A & R Automotive is a full mechanical repair shop at 2687-96 Street NW, and we have been at this address since 1987. We are AMVIC licensed, a NAPA AutoPro shop, and an AMA/CAA Approved Auto Repair Facility.
Below is the work we are asked for most. If what you need is not on the list, call 780-468-3052 anyway — we do a good deal more than this page covers, and it is quicker to ask than to guess.
Oil Change: Full synthetic, semi-synthetic or conventional, in about forty minutes, with a genuine inspection while the car is on the hoist rather than a checklist somebody ticks without looking.
Steering & Suspension: Wheel bearings, ball joints, tie rods, control arms, shocks and struts — the parts responsible for most of the noises a car makes that nobody can identify.
Brakes: Pads, rotors, calipers, brake lines and fluid. We measure what is left rather than guessing, and we tell you when you have another season on them.
Wheel Alignment: Keep your vehicle driving straight and safely with precision wheel alignment services that improve handling, tire wear, and overall performance.
Engine Diagnostics: Check engine light on? We find the cause, not just the code. A free code scan tells you which circuit reported a fault — it does not tell you which part failed, and the difference between those two things is often several hundred dollars.
Something Not Listed Here?
This page covers the work we are asked for most often, not everything we do. We have been a full mechanical shop for nearly four decades and the list of things that have come through the bay doors is considerably longer than six headings.
If you are not sure whether it is something we handle, call 780-468-3052 and ask. If it is genuinely not our work, we will tell you that and point you somewhere sensible rather than taking the job and learning on your vehicle.
Why People Keep Coming Back
Three things, and none of them are slogans.
We have been in the same building since 1987, which in this trade is unusual and is the simplest proof available that we have not needed to move on from a reputation.
We are independently accountable. AMVIC licensing puts us under Alberta's automotive consumer protection body. AMA/CAA approval means we passed an outside facility inspection and that members' complaints are reviewed by somebody other than us. NAPA AutoPro brings a nationwide parts and labour warranty honoured across Canada, not just at our door.
And we tell you when something can wait. That is the whole business, really. Anyone can quote a repair — the value is in knowing which repairs you do not need yet.
