After moving away from Hamilton for over five years, we moved back to Hamilton and went back to Eccles. Great service. We have two vehicles now. I was wondering about a repair I have had in the past and telephoned my prior mechanic in Toronto and the price difference was $0.50 Great to have my vehicle professionals back. Also, a woman worked on my vehicle. This business is great!

Jackie Toth Apr 4, 2024

First experience with Eccles, and I couldn't be happier. From start to finish, the whole repair as seamless, the work is professional, the attitude professional. With Eccles, my cost was half what the dealership quoted. ( the repair was a flex pipe on a mazda6). I know it was a little out of the way for the shuttle service, but I'm thank full they do offer this .
jeff T Jul 7, 2025

This was my first experience with Eccles and they did a great job. Accurate estimate of work needed backed up by helpful pictures, and even confirmation of work suggested by the vehicle dealer that was not at all urgent and may not even be needed. I will be back.
Stuart Brindley Jul 7, 2025

Good service, very thorough.
Kevin W Jul 7, 2025
