    Hello my dudes, looking for a decent mechanic in Calgary for regular maintenance. Google reviews can be fickle! Im in the SW but happy to travel a bit for a decent shop.

    Hope you're all doing well with the recent snow!

    Thanks!

    I'm Alex with Doekter TUNED - Custom Performance Tuning. I do most of the maintenance on both my Toyotas and my wife's VW Sportwagen TDI myself, however for anything I can't tackle, I usually let the Pro's handle it.
    I kissed a few frogs before finding the right shop, and Chris with Frank's Tire and Auto is the only other guy that touches my vehicles besides me.
    They're very serious, fair priced and never upsell.
    I always recommend them and always good feedback.
    Give them a call.
    Cheers!

    I highly recommend Balance Auto. Jackie and his crew are top notch. They’re also Toyota enthusiasts.
