Great place! I go here for all of my oil changes and just set up an appointment for tire swap and storage. I made the mistake of going to a dealership for a oil change and cheated on active. Big mistake. I recommend this place for sure. Great, friendly, quick service and very reasonable price.
Extremely professional and helpful. They help you understand everything they do in plain English and provide a detailed report with photos. I will not take my vehicle anywhere else.
Always great service!
Great people out there and their service is exceptional ????
I was super stressed out last night coming out of work, my front passenger side tire had a slow leak and I snapped my windshield wiper blade trying to clean snow off under them. I dropped my car off the next day, randomly, without an appointment. Active Green and Ross patched my tire, changed my oil, rotated my tires and changed my wiper blades in under 2 hours for an insanely low cost! These guys are incredible! Super friendly, super fast and efficient, affordable and most importantly, honest! These are all qualities you never experience in today's market, especially during a pandemic! They saved me tons of money and allowed me to get to work without missing any time, as I work an afternoon shift. I've never brought my vehicle to this business before today and I was lucky enough that they accepted my car on such short notice. Incredible service! Great prices! They have my business for life!
Cliff and his team at this active green are the best. Professional and attentive. Highly recommend to my friends and family.
You walk to this place and all these people sitting on the chair are too busy to deal with you.. it looks like I have to beg for their service. Not a good people to deal with your car.
Amazing service, I showed up right at the end of the day with what I thought was a disaster with my car. Everyone who dealt with me were great, knowledgable and friendly. The work was quick and high quality. Most impressive was the service of everyone who spoke with me. Highly recommended. James
The manager Randy provides the best customer service in the industry. They are fair and very honest. Mechanics are professional and knowledgeable and really care about your car. They will show you what needs to be done and explain in detail the process. Justin is a Mustang Wizard. Dont go anywhere else! -Dylan 05 Mustang
People there are professional, they sell you what you need, and don't try to rip you off by selling you services you don't need. They are willing to go extra miles if you are not satisfied with their service. Awesome people and service.
Quick service
Friendly, patient and helpful staff.
I blew a transmission hose 1/2 a km from their garage and these guys saved me. I was back on the road in an hour. Amazing service. Thanks again guys!
Got an oil change here. Was good.
Great service from Cliff and his team! I went there to purchase my winter tires and the price is right on par with Costco yet you don’t have to go through Costco’s annoying process of purchasing and putting on the tires on two separate occasions... plus their service is great. Will be going back for any of my car needs!
Committed to excellence at this location!!! You won’t find better quality service anywhere else in the Niagara Region!!! 10 star service!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Had a good experience here. Wanted a reasonably priced oil change where I didn't get pestered into a dozen upgrades, part swaps, etc... They asked once up front what kind of oil I wanted, charged me for it up front so I knew they wouldn't be whining about my air filters, and did it quickly while I sat in their comfortable waiting room. They moved my vehicle in and out of the garage. Watched another customer recieve some excellent service obtaining and swapping some tires after an accident. They seem like good people. Would definitely return here.
Chris and Randy and the guys are always great when I'm there, done a few balances, transmission service, patched tires etc. Always great affordable work. Highly recommend.
The best staff
First time there... swap my tire into winter tires... I’m happy that they also applied the sensor to winter tires... thanks... good customer service too... thanks
Staff very helpful and polite, made time for us. Staff all wore masks, followed COVID protocol. Staff worked with us in regards to our particular timing issues, etc.
Super nice people. Great work.
My worst experience was from the head office which bombarded me with emails, including the one that sent me here. It solicited a review. I don't like that. it is rude. They call it "Inviting" People to review. Inviting is another word for soliciting. I usually give this type of review to companies such as those on Amazon that solicit reviews. I don't find customer reviews useful, others can use them at their peril.
Guys were extremely knowledgeable on my brand and trim of vehicle, as well great conversationalists. Showed all issues that currently existed and that may occur in the near future. Plus tires have lowest price tag in area.
The service here is very good.
Very happy with the service we received today; we purchased winter tires and had a quick and easy install, plus had a different issue we had been concerned about (but had not made an appointment for) addressed in the same day. They were able to get the parts needed sent over and get our car back on the road very quickly, at a cost significantly lower than what our dealership had quoted. Excellent and knowledgeable service! Thank you!
My wife and I were stuck on New Year's Eve with a blown fuel pump and little hope of safely getting back to Barrie the next day. Despite wanting to close at 3pm, Luc and his staff stayed on board until nearly 6:30 to ensure the job was done and our vehicle functioned perfectly. That kind of integrity and dedication is so hard to find these days; and it wasn't just the service to us. I had a chance to observe that same customer care being afforded to every single person who walked into this shop; new customer or old. If you are searching for a truly trustworthy mechanic, then look no further than this shop. Luc and his dedicated staff have our very highest recommendation!
I had some front end work done on an older car and was happy to get the work done with quality in a timely fashion, fast forward a couple months there was a fault with one of the items installed and there was no problem or argument for the warranty replacement. thank you Marvin, Trevor and team
Such great and honest service. They really care about the customer.
Can't say enough about Ross from the Ritson Auto Garage!! Over the weekend my truck was fully serviced, lube and oil change and a standard maintenance check (tires, battery, tire rotation) Once this service was completed, I've noticed the passenger side headlight was out?! Addressed this fact with Ross, who's promptly rescheduled me for a complete bulb replacement at my out of pocket expense (rightly so). However Ross had waived the cost of the installation!! ???????? That's superb customer service I must say!! That's why I constantly mention his garage to all my friends and family!! ???????? Thanks Once Again Budd!! ???? Kindest Regards, Chris
These guys are as nice as they come and always willing to talk and help with all your automotive needs and then some. They tailor their work to your needs. Always a great experience.
Fair prices and the best customer service in Niagara.
Good honest place to get everything looked after. Nice waiting area with cartoons on the TV for the kids. :)
I got new tires, wheel alignment and oil change at this Green & Ross location, I compared quotes with Canadian tire and they were better to get Michelin tires so I went with them also the fact that this location is very close to my work place. It was convenient process as I just emailed them and got an email reply with quote attached. I was glad they worked with my work schedule on Saturday and dropped off my vehicle at work when it was done . The car was returned to me in the evening after dropping it off at 9:30 am at the shop, however it worked for me as I was at work till 6:30 pm anyways , however if you need your vehicle soon on a busy Saturday you may have to let them know. Staff are courteous and respectful at all times. Overall a pleasant experience . I would recommend this Green and Ross location.
Spencer was very helpful as always!
I've been bringing my two cars here for regular maintenance over the past few years because of their quick and honest service. They never try to upsell me on repairs that aren't immediately needed.
Great staff here that do good work and honestly tell you what is going on with your vehicle. They're also quite quick and obviously friendly
They are good,but take too long to work on your automobile.
Always professional and the prices are reasonable.
Fast and friendly service
Very helpful and knowledgable. Super clean. Excellent service.
Great shop. Employees are very friendly. Dropped off a truck to swap winter tires on, and they did it for very reasonable price and also made up a list of any issues they found while underneath the truck.
Very reasonable. Great team of people
Very helpful and honest staff. Very good price on tires.
You won't find a more 'stand up' shop that Active Green+Ross on Bank St. in Ottawa. Luc, Alex and team have taken great care of us, and really go the extra mile to ensure we're happy and not spending unnecessarily.
Good service
Ken and Rob both service managers are absolutely fantastic. Honest and reputable hard to find in the industry.
Works great.
My car was messed up with brakes issues and other, but Sohel and his Team handled it very professionally. Professional and Economical with Friendly environment.. I will highly recommend this shop to Everyone who is in need of Car Service
I can talk to Ken all day! He just makes everything easy and simple. Their expertise on maintenance is very practical and you don't need to worry about overspending. Reasonable prices and a place you can trust! That's a big plus for me. Thanks!! Will come back after a few thousand kms!
During COVID-19 lockdown, my dealership became unreliable for maintenance due to layoffs. So I had to seek other means for service. Friends highly recommended Active Green+Ross on Ritson Rd. S., in Oshawa, so in an emergency, I sought their assistance. They were quick to offer me help by providing a replacement battery for my vehicle in good time. So, when it was learned that I needed 4 new tires, you can guess where I went for them... YUP! Active Green+Ross on Ritson Rd. S., in Oshawa.
Too much charges. I asked them for my car radiator change. On phone the guy said it will arounf 800 bucks. Then i called other mechanic and he said 450. Same thing i told to this guy then he said i can give you discount $150. So cheap service. I will never visit again
Great Customer service. Super nice people who are very helpful. I go to these guys all the time especially for my tires. Fair pricing and always repair issues super quick and effectively!
Took my car in for air filters . when I got my car back it didn't run so well. Kept stalling. I called and they charged me 106 dollars for diagnostic and it came back with of codes. It did run a little better. I called Mercedes and told them the codes. They were all connected to the breather improperly installed. I reset my throttle and all is back to normal. I should of got my money back but nope. If the can't properly work on Mercedes they should ent book them. I feel very ripped off
I went to Kitchener location downtown to buy winter tires. Very helpful, professional and punctual service and great price. I had a good experience and highly recommend.
Cliff is a rockstar. Terrific service. Highly recommend.
I was there one day, overheard Spencer, the owner, swearing and getting mad at a customer. It was very clear Spencer got mad because he didn't like what this person was saying. Regardless of my opinion on the conversation, you should never get mad at a customer for a minor confrontation. He also made it clear that this customer doesn't spend much money with them and is just a problem to them. This was the worst customer service I have ever seen from an owner. Unfortunately for Spencer, I was a well paying customer. I haven't been there for months now. I highly recommend everyone stays away, regardless of auto service, customer service is always most important.
Excellent Service and Great Value: I purchased a set of winter tires here last November and had an excellent experience. The whole process was very smooth and pain-free. Luc and his staff were extremely knowledgeable and attentive. Before coming to Active Green and Ross, I had researched some tire options online but felt a little overwhelmed by all the choices, and was not sure which tries were best for me. Upon entering the shop, I was greeted promptly and in a friendly manner. Luc took the time to ask me about my unique needs and found the tires that worked best for me. We set up an installation appointment for later that week, which went smoothly and took no time at all. I feel very confident in my purchase, and the tires performed spectacularly this past winter. The whole season I felt in control behind the wheel, even during blizzards coming back from skiing, where other vehicles were in the ditch. Thanks again.
My husband & I have been getting both our cars serviced at #381 Active Green+Ross for many years now and we are more than satisfied with the great experience. Chris & Randy are both so personable and informative and they always go the extra mile. I would highly recommend this establishment if you want to be taken care of for all your vehicle needs. Laurel & Joe Zupo
Nice guys but overpriced as of last couple years.
I was treated like family. My warranty issue was dealt with fairly and quickly. Very pleasant experience. Thank you Marvin and Ryan.
They were not able to put on a muffler that I bought in for installation but there bender only go's to 2.5 in i needed 3in. They let the me go on the inspection fee nice people.
Very poor , booked an appointment for today at 11am ... missed hours of work and when I got there they told me to leave the car for hours just because. Not even an apology but just an " that's all I can do " Why book an appointment if won't even respect my time ?
The people at the oshawa location are fair , honest and friendly I found my new spot for my car services! Price is decent as well which is a bouns
Great service
My family and I have been taking our vehicles to Active Green and Ross since Ross took over the business. Ross and his team are honest and very accommodating. We can trust that they are not going to sell us any service, they will recommend what needs to be done when it needs to be done. I always refer Ross and his team to everyone.
Went in to get a repair quote, was told that it wouldn't be a problem, but to come back in the morning (it was near closing time, so that's fair). Came back in the morning and suddenly it's a $125 fee to do a diagnostic. Worse, since the repair was needed to pass an emissions test, they now want to do the test first, to figure out if there might be other issues, then charge me for the diagnostic, then do the repair, and finally charge me for a second emissions test (only the first one's free, apparently). So if you've followed this far, overnight it went from "Sure we'll take a look at it and give you a quote" to "Pay us to tell you what the problem is...and oh by the way you're going to need two emissions tests, so pay us for one of those too." I hope there was simply a miscommunication, because the alternative is outright dishonesty. Either way, that was a negative experience, and I'm unlikely to ever return.
Not a bad experience at all for the first time. Staff were very courteous and prompt. No delays.
very helpful and friendly staff, they do professional work at a fair price, would recommend to anyone in the area !
Always helpful, friendly and straight forward. I feel very secure bringing my car here. Any questions I have are always recognized and not played off or ignored and it’s comforting knowing they have my back!
Went for the safety check of Car. This is good place if you want to go for safety check of car. You can meet Raman there, he is the guy who will guide you for all your need. I appreciate his help and guidance.
Excellent customer service! Very fast getting my muffler fixed and excellent honest pricing as well.
I just purchased new tires for my 2009 Toyota Rav4. Having no past experience purchasing new tires I did some research and called around for quotes. I asked questions at all places to verify what was to be done and what was the walk out the door final price. Most places were very vague and the prices seemed to change with every question. When I contacted Active Green and Ross I spoke directly with the owner Ross. His customer service skills were second to none. He took the time to answered all my questions and gave a final walk out the door price as well he printed off a quote with my name on it so I was guaranteed the price. Their price was a by far the best by at least $50 - $175. The excellent customer service I experienced through the owner is the same that I received through their staff. I highly recommend Active Green and Ross in Oshawa. I will forever pass on the great customer service experience I received to everyone who mentions a tire from this day forward. Thank You Brian V
I booked an appointment to rotate the tires I purchased there for 4:30. At 5:50 my car was finally taken into the shop. Twenty minutes later I was in my car cleaning off my dirty steering wheel... So nearly two hours to do what was an 18 minute job. At least I was being entertained for a portion of the time as the owner (franchisee) was berating another company for wasting HIS time, the terrible service THEY give him, the time he spends on the phone with them... pot, meet kettle. This is my second bad experience with them - the first time (about 2 years ago) I went in for an oil change. I was the first customer of the day. 1.5 hours later my car was untouched. The key/clipboard simply got buried under other work orders therefore nobody ever got to my car. Walked out with promises of free oil changes etc but who has 2 hours to get their oil changed? Oh and BTW - the 19.95 special for an oil change does not apply to most cars. A lady with a Prius walked out after paying $74.xx. Oh it was "special" oil and a "special" filter, and I'm sure hours of her time. Don't go there and save yourselves some frustration.
Recently got an oil and change and my front brakes done. No problems there as it was all done in an hour and a half. When I came back to get my car though, there was oil on my steering wheel cover, seat cover (now ruined), middle console, inside the door, and on the shift knob. The staff came in and saw me a 25 year old and probably thought they could get away with not using wipes or covers. I won't be doing business here after that experience. When I called to tell them about this, their response was "well there supost to be using covers" and didn't really offer any condolences.
These guys are great. Sin and Jie and the crew are awesome. I will never take my car to Crappy Tire again!
Highly recommended. Found myself in a stressful situation right before the Christmas holidays and was met with nothing but accommodation and understanding of my situation. Super friendly, efficient and helpful staff. I was treated like a human being, not just another customer. Will surely be taking my car back there next time I need any work done.
Been coming here for years, this will be my 3rd set of snow tires purchased here. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Will be back again in the future.
Great front of house staff, very knowledgeable and kind. Helped me find perfect winter tires for my vehicle and got me an appointment to change them very shortly after ordering.
We were visiting the Falls from Ohio last week and had a flat tire where the tire was completely ruined. I called Active Green and Ross and spoke to KC inquiring about having a repair done. What excellent service the guys there provided, I don't normally write reviews, but I had to take the time to recognize the exceptional service in having the tire installed.....thank you for the professionalism and courtesy shown.
Excellent service. I felt safe dealing with the front desk. They checked my battery and did not charge me for the service. A very nice surprise. Green and Ross usually goes the extra mile for its clients.
Great team at this location! Always very fast service, fair prices, and the best customer service I've ever received at a garage. It's always a pleasure dealing with Randy, the Service Advisor at this location. He's honest, fair, and helpful. He always makes sure that I understand any issues with the car, lets me know what I should definitely address immediately, what can wait a little while, and what the consequences of waiting will be. I really appreciate it!
One of the best mechanic shop in Niagara. I suggest this place is the best to get it done all services fast with quality.
Great Service! Was there when I needed my car serviced in a pinch. Than you for your good work.
My ac was not working in this dreadful heat and the front tires were squealing so badly. I needed the ac as I was transporting my kids and their friends to summer camp. Rob took it in right away and had brakes changes and ac fixed the same day despite being very busy with other appointments. I really appreciate him fitting me in his busy schedule. On top of the great work they did, when I came in to pick up my van, Rob and Ken were awesome. They made me feel like I knew them for years. Very personable, solid guys. Highly recommend this shop. Great customer service, great work and all for a great price.
Brad, Paul, and all the Mechanics are the best - hands down!! I have been with Active Green+Ross over 5 years now and they have been professional, knowledgeable and always welcoming!! I definitely recommend ????
Get you in fast
Great service from a great guy. Lets you know what is needed and what can wait. Fair pricing and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend this place
Friendly staff, and they got the job done quickly for the right price. I'll be returning here for sure!
On time and good service. Thank you.
The guy gives my girlfriend an estimate several hundred dollars more than what he gave me. Lies about parts that don't need repairs. Not honest.
Awesome experience...really went out of their way to keep my moving despite that I was not going to be a big sale,...I will find a .reason to return.
I called to schedule an alignment on May 13, 2020. During the call, I provided my name, phone number, make model and year of the car and accepted an appointment date for May 21, 2020 at 10am. I arrived 15 minutes early. Upon arrival, the desk person greeted me then told me the alignment machine is not in service at this time, something about a stuck car on it needing a part. So I was forced to reschedule for tomorrow. Upon rescheduling, I asked why nobody called me to let me know not to bother coming in. This seems like a reasonable thing to expect if an appointment has been booked a week in advance and the machine is not in service as of the day before. CALL THE CUSTOMER FOR THE NEXT DAY WHO'S EXPECTING SERVICE USING THAT MACHINE. The desk person said they didn't have my number in their system even though I had definitely provided my number to them the week before. Incompetent. I'll take my business elsewhere. Cue the generic copy paste managers response telling me to email or call because they "care".
This is the best Active Green in the area. Speedy and very professional team. Highly recommend.
These guys have taken great care of both of our work vehicles for over five years.
Always take my car there. I don't trust anyone else.
I can not say enough good things about Ross and his staff. From their kind, courteous, fast and professional service to their desire to find the best solution for your vehicle and wallet this team is incrediable. For someone like myself who is not the most automobile savy they have no problems discussing and help you understand your options! I refer all I can to Ross and team and always return for my auto needs! Thank you!
Appreciated their time management skills, my car battery was dead and don't forget the work commitment. These people just made skilful adjustments between my availability and fixer with a good of battery life and of course the price
Very prompt service. Even though I didnt end up buying there cliff was friendly and was very helpful.
Positive experience. Did a great job with my tires. I'm returning for exhaust work.
Didnt have the oil for the truck.
Not friendly
Excellent customer service, I missed my first appointment and no issue at all to reschedule me ASAP the next day. In and out on the day of - no hassle, barely a wait. Very happy
You can't go wrong with these guys, excellent service
Worst customer service in the business
Highly recommend!! My car doctors! Always exceptional service, and honest about what needs to be done, unlike my experience with other mechanics. Thanks for everything guys!
Stopped in to see if i could get pricing on installing winter tires on a Ford Transit 250 van. The guy at the counter told me they don't do work on these vans because they are to heavy for their equipment. This is a light van that a standard cheap home level floor jack is more than capable of lifting. All I was looking for is to have winter tire installed. You would think a shop that replaces tires would have the basic equipment of a beginner backyard mechanic to get the job done. While still in the parking lot I called up Tire Trackers in Port Colborne and they had the tires ordered and on the way before I even left the parking lot. Rolled in there the next day and they were installed within 45min using guess what....a floor jack. Hopefully they are good at doing what work they decide to take on but sadly I'll never return with any of my vehicles based on this one experience.
Good prices on tires, good service and best of all it was actually done while I was waiting within the hour they told me. I will be back.
Great customer service. Desk staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Mechanics are skilled and do a thorough job. And are honest with you about what needs attention. They will also take you and show you what they are talking about. Also, I once asked them to show me how to replace the windshield wipers I bought there, which they happily did. Worth the drive to St Catharines!
Very nice, quick and polite service. Staff is good and knowledgeable.
Cliff and the team were great!
Not very helpful
Beware, prices quoted may not include a "shop charge" of about $6. Also, they were very slow desire an appointment.
Great service quality mechanics, clean and respectable shop! Cool 66 Rambler. Super clean jobs friggen mint bawd. Prices are deeeecent Clock strikes upon the hour And the sun begins to fade Still enough time to figure out How to chase my blues away I've done alright up 'til now It's the light of day that shows me how And when the night falls Loneliness calls Oh, I wanna dance with somebody I wanna feel the heat with somebody Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody With somebody who loves me Oh, I wanna dance with somebody I wanna feel the heat with somebody Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody With somebody who loves me I've been in love and lost my senses Spinning through the town Sooner or later the fever ends And I wind up feeling down I need a man who'll take a chance On a love that burns hot enough to last So when the night falls My lonely heart calls Oh, I wanna dance with somebody I wanna feel the heat with somebody Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody With somebody who loves me Oh, I wanna dance with somebody I wanna feel the heat Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody With somebody who loves me Somebody who, somebody who Somebody who loves me Somebody who, somebody who To hold me in his arms, oh I need a man who'll take a chance On a love that burns hot enough to last So when the night falls My lonely heart calls Oh, I wanna dance with somebody I wanna feel the heat with somebody Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody With somebody who loves me Oh, I wanna dance with somebody I wanna feel the heat with somebody Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody With somebody who loves me Oooh (Dance) You know, baby (Dance) Woo, yeah (Dance) Now get with this Woah Don't you wanna dance (dance) with me, baby?

Honest, very helpful
The team is professional and did good work on the vehicle..
I was really impressed with the quality of work done on my vehicle. Not sure if they did extra things to my car but when I left the ride felt noticeably better. Highly recommend this location. Completely Satisfied! Feb.7.2019 (Returned for service) Another service job well done at this location. Big shout out to cliff and the team! Called to book an appointment and they where able to take me in the same day. This place is dog friendly as well! Came to get an oil change here and assumed dogs weren't allowed inside. So I took my pup for a short walk came back and saw he was shivering. Took him inside and they are also dog owners as well, so they let my pup warm up while I was waiting for my vehicle. This business and team deserve to be recognized by reviews like this. If your unhappy with your current dealership or shop, try this location out! You will be completely satisfied!
They took 2 hrs to change my oil, and then tried to charge me 130$, even though I had a 60$ quote. The entire experience was outrageous.
No complaint
Amazing service by zen .!! Nice service and nice response.! Helping nature .!!
Always wonderful things to say. The fact that I call and they know who I am just by my name means a lot. They take extra time in their schedule to ensure everyone is happy. Great prices, great customer service, and of course wonderful work done on my car. Thanks Luc and Alex for making me spend my money on my old car without regret. 100% recommend to anyone.
Friendly and courteous good prices
Great service all around and quick too. Got a free air freshener lol
Closed but occupied!!
Absolute pleasure to deal with Peter and Cliff. Fast and honest service, highly recommend them.
Great price and really fast same day service.
Brought my mom's car in to have the winter tires removed for the year. Very friendly owner and reliable, speedy service. I would recommend this location all day long.
I've purchased my tires exclusively at Active Green & Ross for over 10 years. I always sign up for the Road Hazard flat tire repair plan when I buy a new set. I just brought my car to your Ontario Street location in St. Catharines to have a flat tire repaired. I was refused service because they wouldn't honour my mask exemption. In addition to not providing a service that I had already paid for, I believe your staff actually contravened Ontario's mask mandate. It explicitly states that exemptions must be honoured. After this incident, I'll be taking my business elsewhere in future. ADDED NOTE: Contrary to the reply below, after I informed the staff of my exemption, they informed me that they needed me to wear a mask as it was up to the discretion of the store. At this point I said "OK guys." and left the premises without further discussion or incident.
Been having my vehicle serviced here for almost 10 years with no problems, cheaper than the dealerships and I am well looked after.
Best service i have ever got. Staff members at this location are decent and friendly.
Have had to use their services twice since last summer, once for a punctured tire & once for wiper blade issue. Both times were positive experiences. Great customer service, from Jeff both times & fair price. Would use them again.
Never got back to me
Great service
Winter to Spring and vice versa, these guys take care of my car for the last dozen years. Efficient. I trust them.
Great Service
Amazing service, and so friendly! Thank you, will definitely be coming back again.
Nice people, good service
The guys are great! Well informed and simply down to earth, nice. Their mechanic pointed out a HUGE (in my opinion) faux pas from a previous shop.
A+++ honest car repair services at an affordable price with a smile. Never had a disappointing appointment here and been servicing my vehicles here for years.
I required a quick job, and these people were extremely helpful. A+
Good service, nice location, $60 for tire change could be cheaper.
overly helpful and super friendly and informative
Fast courteous and follow all of the protocols for covid-19
Very efficient and professional….great service
Happy and friendly staff. Fast service, great price. I'd go back :) - following up on my 5-star review from four years ago, I'm still going back and still very happy with their service. Still fast, friendly and affordable! Thanks, see you in 6 months!
Excellent customer service, trustworthy, and punctual. I’ve been coming to this location a few years for two vehicles.
Excellent customer service! All the staff are friendly and extremely helpful. Would definitely recommend this store for all your automotive needs.
First experience with a flat tire. Very happy I was able to roll it into the shop and get it all fixed same day and in less than an hour. Staff was great to deal with and helpful. This was my second time at this location and I will keep going back because I like the consistency and service.
I had my new winter tires installed. I was impressed with the professional and friendly service. They were on time, and I was in and out quickly. I would definitely recommend using Active Green+Ross for your automotive needs.
Had my car overheating last night and I was able to fix the issue myself alongside of the road. However I lost a significant amount of coolant when doing so. It was later in the evening and most dealers/garages were closed along Dufferin. I walked over to this shop. The person helped me out with my car. I was able to get to my appointment on time and made it safely home. Thanks for helping a person in need!!! Thank you so much!
It's expensive
Very friendly. They suggested a minor but important repair on my BMW which they explained fully + showed me the old parts for. I asked about whether i needed new tires and they told me i didn’t which was nice. My BMW drives really really nicely now.
Chris, Randy & team are the best. Very thorough, down to earth guys who listen to the customers need and help them in anyway they can! Highly recommend going to them for any of your car needs.
We have been using Chris and his team at Active Geen & Ross for years. We always know that we will get a honest diagnosis with fair pricing. It is so important to be able to trust a mechanic and before finding Chris we never had that. We will never go anywhere else. Thank you Chris and team for always being the mechanic we can count on.
I needed snow tires on rims ASAP. I received prompt, courteous, professional service from Ryan and the guys. I usually go to Costco, but they were charging me the same price for winter tires without rims.
This is the best auto shop that I have ever been to. The staff was amazingly kind and honest, and you can tell they actually care about their customers. I would recommend this shop to anyone in the area and I will be 10/10 returning for my next car related issue!
Long story short: I made an appointment for my brakes. I wanted them checked, as I drive every day back and forth more than 50kms... so I need to have a reliable transportation and last time I checked my brakes was 6 months ago. They took 3 hours to tell me that my car needed $3000 in BRAKE repairs!!! I obviously told them that I wanted a second opinion and that I would pick up my car the same day. The guy on the phone started telling me that it was necessary to make all the repairs and that it would be unsafe to drive my car in that state. I said no and that I would pick it up ASAP. The guy insisted 2 more times. At the time of arrival not only the guy kept pressuring me to make all the repairs but this time the mechanic approach me and said: " did you just bought this car? Ha, I can't imagine how your car passed the safety ... " At this point I was stressed, scared and anxious because I didn't understand what was so wrong with my car as i drove it that week to work back and forth with no issues... Anyway I paid 70 bucks for a waste of time and as I started my car and made the first stop I realized that my brakes WEREN'T WORKING. Thank God I live very close to the place and was able to park it and call a tow truck to take it to a trusted mechanic (after asking people around I was able to find one). THE TRUSTED MECHANIC CHARGED ME $300 for a broken hose (how did that happen???) and told me that nothing was wrong with my brakes... what a sorprise. Save yourself from a bad experience and go somewhere else
ZERO STARS HERE!! Kill yourself before going to these morons who charge an ENVIRONMENTAL FEE for changing over winter tires to summer tires without discarding anything!!!!!! They actually fired their 2 best guys because they helped us... and people like us... by giving us information that cost them business! That is just sick!! Please remember....if you go to these people....expect to pay an exorbitant sum as these people are VERY ...VERY....VERY GREEDY!! The guy who owns it...Ross Petifer...fired 2 great mechanics because they were charging a reasonable price and he was NOT HAPPY WITH THEM! Apparently charging a proper price is not acceptable to him and i feel sorry for his workers!! I hope he stops ripping people off and goes out of business just like most GREEN AND ROSS FRANCHISES DO! "1 WORD FOR HIM"= "GREEDY" I actually feel sorry for him!! I pray this helps all people thinking of taking there car to GREEN AND ROSS run by this character! I'm sorry to have to be so hard BUT IT'S ALL TRUE SO "PLEASE" WATCH OUT!!! I trust some of you have found this review informative!! Thanks for reading!! BTW.... I HAD TO GIVE HIM 1 STAR AS IT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO POST "ZERO" STARS WHICH IS WHAT I WANTED TO GIVE HIM!! :)
Always pleasant to deal with
Honest, reliable and fast. Great customer service.
Warm customer service with a steady pace at work.
Great service! Very respectful of customers' time. James awesome. Great advice for taking care of my car. Thank you.
Professional team and very competitive prices. Lead mechanic Ash is very knowledgeable .
was on a weekend vacation with my son and Dad. we were in Niagara falls and had to drive home to Toronto, and noticed our check engine light on. The man there was very helpful providing us with same day service and most importantly peace of mind for our drive home. amazing service. thanks so much!
Awesome service, cannot recommend them enough! Was having an issue with my break lights, and they fixed it for me in no time, and also didn't charge me. Will definitely be going back for any future car problems! Thanks so much!
Fast honest service
Excellent service!
Great service every time. They explain what needs to be done and why and will let you know what repairs/maintenance issues are starting to show so you can plan your time and budget for it.
I can't say enough about this place, or about Spencer Clarke, who helped us out in what could have been a disaster. Spencer called around to find us two tires to put on our van. He was wonderful--efficient and caring. Thank you!
These guys did an unbelievable job. I left my truck there with rims and tires separated. Once I left i got a few calls regarding small questions they had so that I was 100% satisfied with the job. I will use these guys everytime I have a tire issue.
I have been here to these guys. Left wrong review by accident. Service is great here. Got a good deal on tires from them before. Highly recommend .
They are great. We have been coming five years now. The staff is great and work on schedule for appointments. Never complaints about their service.
Great service and prices
Came for a e-test. Car didn't pass (well because of the car, not the place). However I had to come back within a few days in order to have it re-tested (free of charge if done at the same place). But since their machine for e-testing did not work for a few days, I had to go somewhere else (and pay again) to get e-test approved and therefore be able to renew my license plate sticker. Bummer
Brought my car in after a 3,500km road trip. I was offered a free inspection which captured several issues; they were all promptly repaired at reasonable prices. What helped me was that he provided me the actual parts (after their replacement) so I could see how worn they were and his expertise saved me further replacement down the road. Great timely and professional service, thank you!
Happy that Green and Ross are conveniently located in the neighbourhood, which is the reason I first visited. I come back because I’ve been Impressed by fact that I can always get an appt when I need to and that service is always prompt, professional and reasonably priced. I’m happy with the tires they recommended I buy — a good affordable option — and that purchase includes rotation/inflation for their life. The owner/mechanics take the time to show and explain what repairs need to be made and why. And they never try to “upsell me”. Rather they let me know what might need repair in the future, so there are no surprises.
Great price on tires, but the service is expensive. I will never go back here again. They initially told me $60 to put winter tires if I buy tires from them (tires were 130 a piece for Michelin X-Ice, not too shabby, minus mail in rebate of $70)...when I got the bill, it was $739 (130x4 tires + 117 for install)! They charge me almost 120 to put the tires on my summer rims! Also when I got a full quote over the phone just before I went in, they said it would come to $637 all in...guess they forgot to mention tax on top of that...I will be going elsewhere to get my summers put back on...
Friendly staff with highly effective service. On a first visit, couldn't have asked for more. Recommended.
Been a customer here for a few years and have had lots of work done on different vehicles. Always been well looked after and prices are excellent. Owner and all the staff are super easy to deal with and I've never left there worried about the work done or the price. Highly recommend this garage for anything.
Great staff. Very accommodating.
Friendly and efficient!
Great pricing and superior customer service from Ron, I've also dealt with Rob and their service is why I keep going back.
I have been a customer for several years and am very happy with their work. They are honest, professional and work quickly to get the job done.
Very Professional, they were very upfront with everything.. just had a very good experience would recommend to family and friends
The guy at the front desk help me with my tire a couple months back absolutely great guy very professional I had something on my tire valve I couldn't get off he had his guys take it off and replace the valve which was awesome
I’ve had multiple oil changes here and I can highly recommend this location! All the staff are very professional and helpful. Anytime I have questions they are very informative and friendly. Thanks for making oil changes and other car services a great experience :)
I went in for service for part under warranty for service for free. When the service was done. They saw other things that needed to be fixed out of no were and came up with all these other problems and told me I needed to repair all these problems right now and that they had all the parts for my car ready to go right away.... Wired??? I was at the dealership a week ago for service and none of these problems were their or seen... Some funny business is going on here on King Street Active Green + Ross... ????... Be Ware of SCAMS HERE!!! ????
nice staff. and cheap price . fast service
The crew here has done an incredible job taking care of my trucks this year, more than once they've gone above and beyond to have me rolling. I recommend them 100%. Honest, very fair pricing and super friendly staff.
Came here to get my winter tires installed which was supposed to cost $100, but I ended up paying over $200 because "my front breaks needed to be changed". They took complete advantage of me not knowing much about cars and made me doubt the fact that I knew nothing was wrong with my breaks. Guy on the phone also told me the breaks would be $70 but forgot to mention the charge of $13 for break fluid plus another $3 for.. the part? The staff seemed nice but not with good intentions.
Great bunch here, very professional. Thanks Luc for the fantastic service.
Recently moved to the area and since I no longer have a driveway for DIY oil changes I discovered this place. Since that I brought my car there on many occations. Great customer service and quality work. Many thanks to Mike!
Brad was great. Had a bolt in my tire and the tech took care of it right away. Great service.
I take my car in for oil changes and tire rotations and always find the service to be terrific.. Vert friendly and timely
I took my car here for an oil change, and everything seemed great. The service was prompt, and they didn't try to up-sell me on anything - then, 2 months later I noticed that a significant amount of oil was dripping from the bottom of my car in my parking garage. I figured since I was about due for a change that I would just take it in. They changed my oil, and informed my wife (who took my car in) that everything was fine and the oil loss wasn't a concern. I wonder to myself, how is oil dripping from my car not a concern...!? Anyway, the oil leak seems to have stopped, I'm assuming it's because they took off the incorrectly installed oil filer, but in doing so left my air filter case wide open, and my battery exposed so anything could fall in or come in contact with it. I also seem to be having some issue with my transmission since taking it in, but not sure it it's related to the oil change. Will not be returning to this place. Starting to run out of places in Toronto that can execute a simple oil change correctly...
They keep vehicle’s’ safety first. Dedicated and honest service
Awesome business. Run very well and professionally. Very honest and courteous staff, highly recommend!
Staff were great. Clear overview of the work and cost required. Excellent location to get your vehicle serviced.
Great people, fair prices! Hard to find in mechanic shops now days ???? (valvestem)
Steve was an awesome guy right from when I called him. I booked an appointment to have my car aligned and snow tired put on. After I explained my situation of moving north and wanted my car in tip top shape he did exactly what I wanted. Thumbs up Steve and thanks again.
Good service. Moderate pricing
I took my car for servicing & I was well served by the staff especially Sohel in a timely manner
Rude and a rip-off!
This is my preferred garage for my vehicle. I have been coming here for about 10 years now. Awesome service.
I have been to a few active green and ross's because I move around a often for work however, I have never received such excellent service at a mechanic shop as I received at this active green and ross location. Personally, I am a woman and being a women in this day and age to find honest and respectful service is quite hard to find. I am so pleased to have been taken care of by a young man named Cliff. He explained everything to me, did not take advantage, was honest and kind. I was treated with respect and I am blown away I am very very happy with my car service which entailed an engine issue I had been dealing with with two other mechanic shops. Cliff knew the issue straight away and I haven't had an issue since. Thanks Cliff!
Best business I've ever been too!! very clean, helpful, smart, kind. And all around AMAZING!
I've gone to this AG+R a few times for tire repair and today for installation of my new rims. They've always done good work and are always professional and courteous. Would consider getting my next set of tires here as well, their prices are very good. A+
Zain and his team are informative and professional.
I have been taking our cars to Cliff and his team for several years. They provide great service and helpful guidance on all matters related to tires and rims. Cliff has gone above and beyond on more than one occasion and so we will keep bringing our cars to him and referring our friends. You should too!
This services very expensive my car flat tire ( 1 screw fix) 39 $ it is crazy price !!!!!! I think I defrauded. Dont yo yo here I wanyo back money because maximum flat fix 15 or 20 $
awesome helpful place
They damaged my car and forced me to pay for repairs for damaged caused by them . Avoid this garbage place.
This was one of the best experiences. The staff are great, thorough and professional. There is no worry about being charged for work that doesn't need doing. This is my #1 go to for items related to all our cars. Thanks for going the extra mile.
Brad and his team are fast, friendly, and ready to help. I initially only went for tires, but now get oil changes and general car maintenance. Very trustworthy with excellent communication so there are no surprises on the costs.
I recently went in to AGR for a tire repair on my truck. Jeff advised me that because I had a nail stuck in the tread so close to the side wall that the tire could not be repaired and I would need to replace the tire. However, since I did not purchase my tires from them he also advised that I contact the company I did purchase from and that they may be under warranty. As it turned out they were covered. Jeff gave me a good price on a replacement tire but in the end his honesty and professionalism saved me over $300 for a new tire. I highly recommend Active Green and Ross Welland. Cheers Steve
Cliff and his team took great care of my Ram 1500 - ???????????????? Thanks buddy.
These guys are great. I had a minor car accident on the weekend involving my dog. Cliff took care of my vehicle quickly and kept me in the know regarding the progress and price regularly throughout the repair process. Further, he regularly asked about the well being of my animal which was really appreciated. Great guy, great shop. Highly recommend.
Friendly service. Will return.
Rob and his staff always go above and beyond to give top notch service!
Active Green+Ross was great to me. i was driving my mothers car and it broke down on the road. they had a tow truck come to pick up the car and brought it to the shop. they called after the found out the problem i gave them an ok to fix the …
Good professional service
I called asking the price for tire change, and they asked me for the model of the car etc. they said it was going to be 110 plus tax. So I left the car for them to change the tires just to come back and get a bill for 180. When I asked why they said it was because of the rim size but they already knew the size and the price had to be 110. Didn’t wanted to make a huge scene so I paid the 180 but I’m never coming back. Oh and they are very insisting on doing other services to the car when I only asked for a tire change, called me 3 times trying to convince me. Please do not trust this business!!
Great advice and service to buy winter tires! Complete check up of car and sent me results fast ! Helped me out by fitting me in a busy schedule and turnaround time amazing! Very professional and friendly
Active Green and Ross in Welland is awesome. I have been going since I needed some small repairs done. They quickly diagnosed my problem, gave me a quote and actually found more issues that the dealership didn't! Great crew, Ron is awesome. Honest, Reliable and Fast! Thanks Active Green and Ross Welland!
I booked my appointment 2 weeks in advance for winter tire change. I went there, waited for 2 hrs and at the end one the staffs told me they could not change my tires because the ride height of my car is too low and they don't have the equipment for it. For God sake, you guys run a garage and can't even change tires. I don't own a formula one race car, it's just a subaru.
Great service and staff! Always quick likeva bunny!
Last year with my new car I purchased from the dealer a set of winter tires and included special programmable TPMS sensors. Active Green+Ross are one of the few garages that can program them which was done. Long story short - the car probably had something wrong with the TPMS car module as I did have to get the dealer to sort something out to get the TPMS light to go off - never knew exactly what they fixed. Now to this year - winter tires back on - the TPMS light won't go out! Apart from the frustration of figuring out the problem I went back to Active Green+Ross along with a lot of concern over whether the TPMS sensors were working properly. Thanks Luc for taking the time to check things out and reprogram to be sure and yes, the light is out and still out after a few days. All good. I really appreciate your doing this and standing behind the work you did previously - super.
Quick service, very helpful. The service desk guy was all you could ask for. 5 ???? recommend
Never called when looking for tires. Somewhat rude when we went in looking for help.
Good service professional and reliable, sometimes they would try to much to be good sales people...
Ross goes above and beyond in looking after your vehicle and helping his customers. I have been coming here for many years and I would highly recommend Active Green and Ross at 534 Ritson Road S.
Went here because they had the best price on tires. I was pleasantly surprised by service and the quality of the work done. Steve, the service advisor, was friendly and knowledgeable and didn't pressure me to get the extra's done.
Been going to these guys for a few years and its great service and a friendly staff. I don't know very much about cars so the guys take the time to bring me into the back to explain and show me on my car exactly what needs fixing and why. They're always on time and they help me understand what parts need immediate repairs and what can wait, since I'm a broke a** student. Their online car reports are super useful too. Five stars
Sincere thanks to Ron (visiting from his usual store in Brantford) and Steve who fixed our car in a pinch on our way to Toronto. We ran over a bolt and got a flat and they were able to help us out and get us back on the road. We +++ recommend this place and will be returning customers! (Kitchener location)
We've been looking for a good garage for awhile since our last one closed a few years ago. When I discovered this location and they had our car a couple of time. They have been nothing but great. Very friendly and the prices have been very reasonable. Highly recommend them.
Excellent, friendly, professional service. Highly recommend. I took my car in to have my very loud muffler fixed and came away with a much quieter car (even quieter than the last place I took my car to to have my muffler fixed.....which pleases me to no end) and the cost was very reasonable. Also, after my muffler was sorted, they had my car's emissions test done for me which certainly is a time saver! But more importantly to me? they were able to finally turn off a couple of lights on my dash that have flickered on and off for over 2 years. No other mechanic could figure out the problem let alone fix it. I'll definitely go back.
Highly Satisfied.. Akash did great job on my Honda Accord. He explained me everything with proper details and knowledge and told me what needs to be done ASAP. Thanks a lot for best Service. Will come back if I need to do any type of service for my car. Cheers
We arranged to have our tires changed on our 2 vehicles, and then at the last moment had to cancel due to a medical emergency. We ended up being available later in the day and the team at Active Green+Ross accommodated us and got both car in for the end of the day. Turnaround time was about 1 hour for both vehicles. They even reminded me that our Mini needed the brakes looked at as a warranty issue with the manufacturer. They first told me about this last year, but I forgot to book it and we don't drive the vehicle much. Thanks to them reminding me, our Mini is now booked for brake service at the dealer's shop. The Active Green+Ross guys are great to deal with.
I came from out of town looking for someone to fix my truck, they had an open spot for me and they were open and happy to help. Typically as a women I am skeptical of even going to get my truck fixed but they were so open and honest and didn’t pressure me into buying anything. I will be back for more services in the future.
Great customer service, prices are affordable I ll definitely recommend to my friends.
If you buy tires here, it is worth getting the warranty. They are also very nice and efficient.
These guys are very organized, professional, on time and made sure we got the very best price on our new tire set and alignment. Fantastic guys to deal with overall.
I've been getting my oil changes there for several years and bought a set of winter tires. Their service is prompt, friendly and punctual. When I got a small leak in one tire, they fixed it the same day I called them and didn't try to overcharge me or add any extra fees. I highly recommend them!
Always friendly and courteous staff. Know their stuff! Do good work! Never had a problem.
These guys are just awesome. Great service and friendly staff.
I always use these guys for my tire needs for my vehicles, be it my Chrysler minivan or my BMW-750. Great prices, lots of add-ons, great service. I gave them 5 stars only because there is no option to give six!
Most friendly service I’ve ever received. Hands down. The guys here are very knowledgeable and will do the best they can to get you back out on the road. I’ve got a bit of a unique car so it’s difficult to find parts, but Steve was amazing - he called so many places and found what I needed! He truly cares about you and he wants all his customers to leave happy. DEFINITELY recommend going here.
Paid for an oil change and other minor stuff. The mechanic gave me a $2,600 quote for things that they found I needed to have done. Brought my car to another mechanic who immediately found that I have a SEVERE oil leak... How could they have not noticed a severe oil leak when they were being paid to service my oil, yet they were able to find $2,600 of OTHER things that needed to be done?
Well. Good customer service. But the price is expensive. Make sure you get the quotes before you arrive there. And there will be some recommendation better double check another garage. …
Took my car for a big services. Had my ailment down twice. Even though I never needed it. I had my transmission done and went home to wake up next day and it was leaking all over my floor I had been driving with a leak transmission- the company did nothing to help other than fix the leak, my transmission was damage and it caused me more money than I wanted to spend. Be aware of the companies you trust. I reported the matter to head officer to have no one call me back to rectify the issue.
I’m usually very cautious about service locations, but I’ve gotta hand it to the owner here. I needed winter tires on my 2016 civic, and under 40 minutes, I was good and ready to go. Price was $300 cheaper than at my dealership, and I was not upsold on ANYTHING. From my experience, these people are knowledgeable and respectful of customers. I will return for future services, and I hope I have the same great experience as before.
The team at Active green and ross are great! Brad and his team are very helpful. He got me the RSSW rims and Continental Viking winter tires that I wanted, even though neither were listed on the website.. It all arrived within a few days, at prices minimally higher than other online-only places (about $25 per wheel, for a rim+tire cost of $500). Having the store here in town made up for the slightly higher price. This way if anything had gone wrong with the order, it could have been dealt with here. To me this was totally worth it. Everything went smoothly. Totally recommend this place!
I've brought my cars in for oil changes & the staff have always been courteous and accommodating.
I get my tires changed At Active Green + Ross twice a year, and they store my winter or regular tires, depending on the season. The staff at the Dufferin/Glencairn location that I attend are friendly and efficient. I would recommend this business to anyone.
If you seriously need tire balancing these guys know how to do it.. Also donot over charge for minor repairs.
Ross and the staff always do a great job with our vehicle service.
Consistent service
Great service. Luc is very friendly and prices are transparent. Great detailed report following service that gives quotes for services that will be needed in the near future.
Very friendly, prompt and professional. Couldn't ask for better. Thank you to Marvin and the garage crew.
Have been to this location to have my vehicles serviced on several occasions, now and every time have received fantastic service. Fair pricing, equitable and honest delivery of work and services. Highly recommended.
From the 1st time I ever came into the shop, Chris & his staff have been decent, honest and provided exceptional service. We have been coming here for over 10+ years for all of our mechanical & tire needs. Never have we had any issues, in fact they go out of their way to make us feel welcome and appreciate our business.I would never go anywhere else and will always recommend them. Thank you Chris & Randy & staff for being one of a kind.
All work done quickly with no problems
Great customer service experience. My senior parent’s vehicle’s tire repair was done at the Welland shop. As busy as they were, Jeff courteously took care of their needs. Thank you Jeff.
Amazing service. Very friendly guys. I had flat tire went there with my spare they took care of everything, another shop in Niagra tried to rip me off. But these guys made my day after. Very professional and good service. Thanks the guy did my tire check all tires air and. And send me home. Thanks guys.
I have been going to Active Green and Ross for years now and always get amazing service.
(Translated) Very good inspection, very honest, fast service we are from Quebec and even if we do not speak much English the gentleman had bcp patience very recommended !! thank you so much (Original) Très bonne inspection, très honnête, rapide service on est de Québec et même si on parle pas beaucoup anglais le Monsieur avait bcp patience très recommandé !! Merci beaucoup
A nail in a tire as my wife arrived at work. The first snowfall of winter. A dealership that said that they were booking appointments for three weeks from now. When I called, I was told that they were booked all day, but come in as soon as I could and they would take care of fixing the tire. The service was great. I am very happy with how my wife and I were treated. I will definitely be coming back here in the future!
Great experience for buying tires. Ashwin and Steve helped for both of our cars to select best tires at a great price. Best auto service in KWC. Their tire warranty is great too. Thank you
The best place and people who worked there I have been going there for a while now
The only people I bring my car to. I firmly believe in these guys and have tried to send everyone to them. They fix your car and are honest about it. There's not really much else to say, use this location.
I am really impressed good people got new tires very happy great job. Nice to see good service even check vehicle over while there nice to have extra concern very helpful thanks Ryan and his team. Tim
1st time here and was made to feel welcomed and took charge of what needed to be done. Dan made it easy and painless. Will be using them again for sure.
Fast, friendly service and, as always, great value. This is my second positive experience with this location...I'll be back.
Second to none in Ottawa. The employees are professional and courteous. They are also very transparent and honest with their prices. I have never been upsold on services that I don’t need. Furthermore, In my experience, they are extremely accommodating. They have taken my car in for service when I gave them limited to no notice ahead of time.
My rear E-brake was locking up, so I took it in as they had done my last brake change. Diagnosis? First they warrantied my disk brakes and pads and replaced them (much to my surprise as even I could tell that wasn't the issue). Then they replaced my caliper, costing my $300; when that IMMEDIATELY failed to fix the problem, what did they do? Warrantied the part again and replaced it saying the part was faulty (not their diagnosis). No surprise, the problem came right back within minutes, proving once again they were either lying to cover their butts and/or just didn't know what was going on. Finally they came to my original diagnosis; faulty cable and housing. I offered not once, not twice, but FIVE times to pay them to replace the cable and housing, I was happy to pay. At this point I had spent 3 full days waiting in their lounge. Their new solution? No joke: Rather than replace the cable and housing, they disconnected my rear E-brake. And charge me for the caliper I clearly did not need ($300 wasted). I am still riding around without an e-brake thanks to these guys. Worst service I have ever encountered. I can't say whether it was just incompetence or just wanting to save themselves time, but is there really a difference? My car has also probably lost value since it isn't the original parts anymore. Literally left before they could do more damage. My car is now less safe than when I first took it in.
Sohel and his team are very professional and courteous. Had brought in my car with brake pad issues that was fixed in no time. I regularly take my car in for oil change. Glad to have this place close by to handle all my car servicing issues. I will highly recommend this location to my family and friends????
Cheap oil change and the guys a decent. Fast service.
Great service and so friendly. Thanks guys
Staff is very prompt and friendly! Completed the job in a timely manner and competitive pricing!
Staff are very friendly and honest. Car is always ready when they say and prices are good!
Fast service and nice staff.
Thanks for the advice and help
Great service and always professional and friendly. I've been going here for years for various things. Just purchased new winter tires and rims and everything went smoothly as usual. I've been in customer service for years and have always been throughly impressed with the service from Randy/Chris at this location! Thanks again guys!
Great customer service.
Brad, Paul, and all the Mechanics are great! This was my first time using Active Green+Ross and they were professional, knowledgeable and helpful. I definitely recommend ???? - great place to go if you want help with new tires, car issues, etc! Would definitely reccomend to anyone!
Tire leaked and was repaired with no issue. Excellent service and value
I have been going to this active green and Ross location for about 3 years , I have always had a pleasant experience with the staff and service provided . I do all my tire change overs , oil changes and any other repairs I might have . They always get me in the shopp and get my problem fixed very quickly and professionally. I would recommend this location for all your car needs . I won’t go anywhere else The staff makes you feel welcome and informed on all steps being taken on your car . Couldn’t be happier with the service .
I have been an Active Green + Ross customer now for a number of years. This is by far the best location to get everything from your SUV to your sports car repaired. This location has very competitive pricing and what makes them stand out above the rest is the service. I highly recommend visiting this location if you have any vehicle issues that require attention. Thanks again ACG for always being such a reliable and quick service location.
Very trustworthy place with amazing team! Strongly recommend!
Nice people and they did just what I needed.
I have nothing but positive reviews for the entire team (front and at the shop) who’s working here. I’ve been going to them for years and will always go back to these guys because they always do a job well done and provide high quality service/customer service!
Excellent service
Amazing, friendly and knowledgeable service. They will give you a quick diagnostic test for free to get an idea of the problem.
Cheap place for an oil change. Often goes for $19.99
Speedy and professional service
They quick and always fix the problem.
The counter saff at Active Green + Ross are always very knowledgeable and take the time to explain any questions
We've been going to Rob, Ken and their top notch team for many years. Service is unparalleled. Pricing always competitive. Highly, highly recommended.
I was having problems with being stranded a few times because my car battery was giving me problems. I called a few places and was being told many different things with a wide range of costs. I had to go some place I trusted so I came to Active Green & Ross to get it checked out. Sohel went out of his way to make sure that I received only what I required in parts and provided excellent customer service. The price was right and the job was done quickly. His professionalism and expertise helped my confidence that my car was going to start on even the coldest day. Thanks so much for a wonderful experience Sohel and team :)
professional and helpful staffs, reasonable price. I would 100% recommend this place.
My car has been making a ticking sound at high speeds. The technician, Raj, took it for a test drive on the highway and ascertained that the noise was not from the engine but from the dashboard. The dashboard was removed at the dealership a few years ago for some repair behind it. Maybe this is the cause of the noise. At least it's not the engine acting up. Ryan said to take out the dashboard to try to find the problem could become very expensive. I agreed, so knowing that the engine is okay, I can live with the dashboard noise that only occurs at speeds of 100km/hr or more. They didn't charge me for the test drive, and I'm very appreciative of that. I've had work done on my car here before, and I find them to be honest and efficient with what they've done. I highly recommend them.
Got my new winter tire, Akash provided grat service. Easy and fast process and friendly people
Been a regular here for many years for all my tire services. Have had other maintenance services done here as well -- brakes, transmission flush -- Ross and his staff are always great
Great place good people
Always good prices for tires. Quick friendly service at this location.
Best price in Town (St. Catharines) - my own Nissan dealer was almost 20% more. Their representative Randy offered great knowledge/service and was very friendly to deal with.
Really excellent location. The Owner (I think, Chris) is super nice, straight forward and fair. He makes my wife feel comfortable when she's dealing with them and gives all the information, repair options and pricing with no pressure. This is now my go-to place for any automotive issues.
Issue: Friction noise in the back when I was turning. Road tests were done and they identified promptly the issue that was the backing plate touching the rear brake rotor. Prompt quality , and courteous service. In and out in 20 min.
Great service, got my new tires from them. They installed them the same day and they did a very good job.
If you're looking to come into a shop and drive out on a spare, this is the place for you! Also, apparently, they can't the difference between a gasoline engine vs a diesel one. Very unprofessional. They don't know what they're doing here.
Get my etests here. Quick and friendly. McDonalds across the street to sit and wait with a drink.
Awesome customer service, highly recommend!
It's kind of like Cheers: "Where everybody knows your name." If I'm in the waiting room during my oil change, I swear, Rick and Ken know the names of everyone who come in. Everyone. And everyone always seem so happy. I certainly know we've always been happy with our services for the past 7 years. They really do go above and beyond for us (especially when we were poor students with old beat up cars, thank God those days are over) Thanks guys!
Everytime I've gone to Active Green+Ross they do a wonderful job! I've gone there for years and highly recommend! The Owner as well as staff at the Oshawa location always goes out of thier way to explain what is wrong with my vehicle and lays out what need to be done in a very professional manner that helps me understand what is being done and I really appreciate that!
Pretty wonderful service!!!!!
Everything was awesome! Covid protocols in place ☑ Amazing customer service ☑ Amazing use of technology to keep customer in the loop ☑ Super impressed! I loved receiving a text /email w full reports, letting me know my car was ready and providing input on the services performed. I also felt I got a great deal. Very happy.
Typical tire store. In the end they always try to get you to get extra done to your car. All I want is tires and tires i got and I'm happy with them. its the other little things they tried to sell that's not what i went for and I refused to have them done and my car is still running perfect.
Quality service! Quick and competitive prices
Had tire services done. Things went well, staff were courteous and professional. Very happy with the service.
The staff was very friendly. I thought I had a screw in the tire (turns out it was just the head of a bolt and came out on its own) but the technician took the time to check each tire's pressure and make sure everything was secure. Thanks for the great service!
The best service ever! Always my first choice!
With very short notice, I was able to get an oil and filter change as well as new tires. Very friendly and informed staff who also took the time to point out and clean the corrosion off my battery. Thank you for always looking after me in a timely manner.
they wouldnt take one of my customer alignments because it was "lowered"
Always a great experience. I’ve trusted Chris and his team with my vehicle for over 15 years. Always fair and honest pricing and vehicle maintenance recommendations, and most importantly they always do the job right.
Great service
We needed help late on a long weekend. The guys stayed back to help, did an amazing job and all with smiles. Thank you.
Bought 4 tires and rims and got them installed with no issues, the next day one of the tires lost pressure and deflated. Luc and the boys fixed it's seal in no time and had me back on the road. Very professional.
I drive a decade-old European station wagon. I came to Luc and his team three years ago for tires. I have stayed for all mechanical service despite my long relationship with a dealer. Honesty, integrity and quality of service keep me coming …
Great service. Luc, the owner was a great help and was able to quickly and easily get me back on the road and NOT break the bank!! I was 1300km from home and had suffered mechanical failure that could have very easily ruined my trip. Alex (technician) was able to easily get the repair done despite being an older vehicle with somewhat moderate "corrosion issues". He was able to skillfully disassemble and reassemble the vehicle no additional parts were required, which is a feat in itself. He even took some additional time to do some further inspection to make sure there were no additional "monsters in the closet" waiting to get me. Couldn't ask for a more courteous, skillful and knowledgeable group of guys !! Anyone that lives in the greater Ottawa area should consider themselves fortunate to have access to such a great team! Highly recommended!
As always expert service, quick, followed all Covid rules and was well looked after.
Neded to have a tire replaced due to a flat. I brought in the tire and they looked it over and since we had just purchased our tires in October they were still under warranty (prorated amount). We got a very fair deal, quick service, excellent customer service. We've been coming here for a little while and we are always satisfied customers. Thanks Ryan & the crew! ????
Great work that are amazing
Clifford was very professional and honest. I would come back for all future service needs.
Great Shop with a great team, both at the front desk and in the shop, working together as team.
Beside the Serpentine Belts and Stabilizer Bar, I was very pleased with the honesty that the cluster lights was not an issue. The light problem was resolved when the switch was turned on. When dealers are honest with customers, customers do come back and also pass on the quality of service to friends.
Recently changed management. Amazing service! I'm changing my rating from 5 stars to 5 stars. November 2021 Booked a seasonal tire change and as always smooth! April 2021 Booked an oil change and as aways smooth. In and out. The staff is alway super nice and friendly. December 2020 Made an appointment for an oil change. Always a pleasure to come here. I was in and out. November 2019 Snow came early this year. I booked my appointment online and got my tires and oil changed. Like always awesome and fast service! I’ll be back to change over my tires in the fall. April 2019 Made an appointment for seasonal tire change over, I got there on time and as usual the service was great. I was in and out!
I needed a new pair of tires for my mkz. Jeff at Green and Ross took the time to research out my options and called me back. I was really concerned that the new tires would be low noise, and they turned out to be great! I have always had good experiences here. Thanks
I’ve had nothing but great service here with super friendly and knowledgeable staff! Will return!
I have nothing but positive comments!! I was in town for a mini vacation and had to get some new tires last minute. Chris & Randy were extremely helpful and made what was a stressful and frustrating situation so much easier. Vehicle was in and out in a timely manner!! If you need anything done I would highly recommend. Thanks again guys!!
Fast and efficient service. I got my tires here changed recently, had a small issue but they fixed it immediately no questions asked. Would definitely come again.
This location goes above and beyond on all fronts. The new owner is one of the few honest mechanics out there. All staff were friendly and this location has definitely improved with new ownership. Thanks gents!
Not enough staff. I went for getting help on fixing a flat tire on Saturday and they did not have any appointments till Thursday.. staff was polite but, i would suggest you call before going there
Great customer service, fast service, friendly, and on time. Great group of guys.
I was really happy with my service and my new tires! Brad in the Kitchener location was considerate of my time, and provided me with all of the information that I needed to feel great about my purchase. Thanks for being so awesome :)
Great like usual...thanks Ross
After waiting three days to replace two tires I picked up the rims and tires and took them to another shop. Disappointing.
1. They did not have air filters. 2. They did not tighten the oil filter and it was leaking. 3. They did not notice that the muffler was cracked and needs service. I took it …
We came here to get our winter tires put on. We enjoyed the experience (with the small exception of having to change our appointment date.) The men were all friendly. There was a younger guy up front helping the owner with some language barrier issues and he made sure I was charged & recorded correctly. Everyone seemed to help each other out. The guys who swapped my tires thought they had lost my key somewhere inside the car (I had it) and they were trying hard to find it, which showed their care. It was just overall a pleasant experience. I ended up storing my tires with them for the winter and taking a pamphlet because I'm comfortable giving them more business! Thanks guys!
Getting 4 new tires on the Tribute...Great service, fast friendly and best price I could find.
Green and Ross did a great job on my truck will deal with them again. Thank You.
Thank you for the hard work and for accomodating my anger. See you soon
Mechanics who are BIPOC friendly --- such a difficult feat in Ottawa. In the past, I have had lackluster treatment and service at the west end Subaru dealership. Luc and Alex are a pleasure to deal with for any car repairs. They are …
Ryan and his team at Active are rock stars! Quick to solve all my vehicle dilemmas. Much love and respect for these guys.
brought my nissan rogue in for tyre inspection( nail in tyre) and suspension noise. All good. tyre punture fixed and front end just a worn brake pad. no charge. thanks!!
Very friendly customer service. No complaints!
I find this branch of AGRT very supportive and seems to try to offer the best rate possible. I keep going back for all my car needs.
Active Green+Ross tire and auto on 7009 lundys lane is a phenomenal place to buy tires and have your vehicle serviced. Marvin the service manager is very polite and was able to schedule an appointment for me quickly and professionally. Andrew the service tech was friendly, handled my vehicle with care and provided excellent quality service. This location will save you time and money. Call now to book your appointment.
Had an amazing experience while changing winter tires. Steve was quick to give me schedule that beat major dealers out in KW. His courtesy and professionalism along with quality of work was a big bonus for me to come back again for buying All seasons tires. I certainly recommend this place if you are in rush and seeking quality service and reasonable price for your vehicle.
alignment on 17 mustang. great work by Justin. Chris and Randy run a tight ship! thanks for the great service.
Polite and professional; very good service!
The guys at this garage are very quick and efficient I won't hesitate to go the extra mile for you
Great shop, owner is knowledgeable and trustworthy! Always take my vehicles there, and I have always been happy with the results.
Fast service, 2 fast food restaurants nearby
Would highly recommend Active Green+Ross if you are looking for an honest, reliable and professional auto service for your vehicle. I am always impressed when I have any need to have my car serviced at this establishment. Chris, Randy and the entire team are the best!!!. They always manage to fit me in for service whether my repairs needed are big or small. Randy is very polite and always explains in detail what service is being done on my vehicle and what the mechanic recommends I do... without being pushy. I am always very happy with the level of service I receive from Active Green+Ross...Thank you for meeting all of my automotive needs!!!
Great place, great guys. I had previously brought my HHR SS to the shop for brakes. Brakes were so nice after, first red light, my wife spilt modelo all over the dash. My coffee went everywhere, it stops on a dime now. So i figure I will go there again for tires on my new summer car (camaro IROC SS) They did an excellent job, not a scratch on my new chromes (20"). Great rim rob, tires look and feel amazing. The man at the desk, was very nice to me and my wife, would definitely recommend lundy's lane active green and ross to all my friends and family. THANKS!
Excellent service. Very accommodating and considerate of customers' busy schedules.
fast and reliable service. thanks Mike
Great people to deal with. Very efficient, friendly and courteous.
Nice staff providing useful info to make right decision for your vehicle, quick quote provides with all line items detailed on paper, comparable to Canadian tire pricing may be a little higher than Canadian tire stores, usually they are at very convenient locations.
10++++ checked to see if they could do the job first!! they are not doing it for the $$$$. Just great customer satisfaction. I am coming back for an oil change. Dealers are wat too expensive!!
Good service good people
Very comfortable atmosphere and quality of work.
I want to thank Jeff and his team so much for taking care of a damsel in distress. I went in to get help as my belly pan had come adrift and I waltz in without an appointment(sorry about that) and gave me a very quick fix to my problem. They were lovely and professional and I would highly recommend this team to take care of you and your car!!! Thanks boys!
Great service. Not too much upselling.
Great friendly service. Everything was exactly as I was told it would be.
Okay prices but good service
These guys are great. Very professional. Good value. Thanks
The previous week I had purchased 4 new tires for my wife's vehicle from this location. This was my first time ever to a Active Green Ross location. The following week we returned for our follow up visit to make sure everything was fine. I decided at that time to have a full brake inspection done even at the expense of $59.99 + tax. Most other places do free complete brake inspections nowadays no problem. When it was completed I got an estimate work order of almost $1300 total. I didn't know what to think. I was overwhelmed and just wanted to leave. I never ever got that high of an estimate or work done to my breaks. I ended up making two appointments else where for free brake inspections, one the same day and another the next day. One place quoted me for needed brake work at $500 and the other place quoted me $450. I even asked them particular questions in relation to my estimate from Active Green Ross regarding particular parts. Both places told me I needed only new brake pads and rotors. The one place that I completed the work at made new customer in me. Friendly, great service, down to earth facility, honest etc. I felt comfortable there from the time I walked in. It pays sometimes to get a 2nd & third opinion and not get ripped off especially during these difficult times were experiencing. Anytime you need to pay $68 for a brake inspection you should now better. Also when I spent a lot of money the prior week for new tires how did I know I was going to have to spend even more for an alignment!! Safe to say I will not return for services there in the future. Furthermore, no where to wait there. No sitting area/room etc. Not very hospitable at all. Other places I visited had full facilities open for their customers including waiting areas!
Absolutely great polite service, on time, reliable. Would use Cliff and his staff again in a minute. Very satisfied. V. Bain
Very professional, knowledgeable and courteous.
Young man named Alex was very helpful and polite
Outstanding service! I was just there to see if they have unusable tires that i can take for sledgehammer training. The staff (unfortunately i didn't get his name) was so patient, took his time and helped me get one with no charge. With this kind of service, you can't go wrong with it. I highly recommend this place.
Fast friendly service
I was very impressed with the customer service!!! I know nothing about tires other than they are round and you need them to make the car go. Randy was AMAZING!!! I did not know there was so much to know about tires! (He could write a book on tires if he wanted..) They did not try to sell me anything I did not need and made recommendations based on my needs and the year of my car (My car is old and I don't drive much) He actually suggested less expensive tires rather than trying to sell me something more expensive because I was female and obviously had no idea what I was doing. Randy made sure that I knew I needed to come back in a week to get my tires torqued rather than leaving it up to me to read the fine print .. cause like who actually reads the fine print??? I really like this shop because they are just plain honest and that is sometimes hard to find. I would highly recommend this shop to women, single moms and anyone who knows nothing about tires or cars. They will explain everything in a way that is easy to understand and not try to take advantage of you.
Unlike some garages where the staff will sell you things you don't need and make unnecessary repairs, the owners, management and staff at Active Green + Ross do not. Attention to detail, quality and timely service is not just words but given to the customers. Customer care and satisfaction is very much the driving force that motivate these people.
Randy and Chris were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I feel they went above and beyond to ensure my experience was great. I appreciate all their help. The mechanics who fixed my car did a great job. I definitely will be going back for any issues with my car and for oil changes.
Great Service and Work
If anyone wants to take their service never buy parts from them. An AC remanufactured compressor for sonata $928 the total was $1310, but i bought compressor online at $300 a good one... Alternator $427 you can get half price outside. The total i payed to replace alternator is $770... All i can say IS that try Not to go at this place... AVOID....
I came in to have my winters put on and i got a report back saying that i had 1mm of brake pad left on all four corners and that my rear suspension was shot. I didn't decide to do it at this shop because i have a mechanic who does my repairs. however when my mechanic did my brakes he came to show me that my brakes had at least a year left ( 6 mm) of use. Also on his further inspection my suspension was completely fine as well. I am not happy with this shop trying to get me to do completely unnecessary repairs with them. i will never go back and i will make sure people know that the service desk blatantly tried to scam me and most likely others.
Our family has had our cars serviced at this location since it opened and will continue to do so.
Prompt service, top notch work! Best Active Green+Ross location I’ve ever been to. They definitely have a new customer moving on. Elias did an amazing job fixing the brakes in my car at the lowest possible cost. An amazing location that takes into consideration your budget without compromising quality and service. Oh! Did I mention Elias also speaks Spanish? It’s great to address your car issues in your language. Thank you Active Green+Ross, thank you for the amazing work Elias! Keep up the good work guys!!!
Very nice customer service... Genuine advice and price also..honest
It was okay but I have to go back to get my oil light off they forgot
Checked a low tire they had patched for free. Great customer service and quick, easy service
Very friendly staff, quality service. Reasonable price, I would recommend to all my family and friends.
Took loose tire there to be fixed, took a day for them to look at it and only got back to me after I called the next morning. Told me they looked at it and didn't see anything obvious and would have to reseal it, but couldn't because their machine broke. Lost my valve stem fill cap and didn't say anything. Took it back a week later (now on the vehicle) and decided to wait for them to fix it. 25 minutes later they told me they couldn't do anything because its an obvious patch, only option is 2 new tires at $290+tax. I said no, guy seemed irritated and charged me $30 for literally nothing, something he told me a week before could be fixed. Ross (the owner) is a nice guy but everyone else is very frustrating to deal with. I understand that some things can't be fixed, but having to visit them 3 times and being charged $30 for nothing is excessive.
Great friendly service. Very professional. Good quality tires. Thank you
Awesome customer service and honest people
Took my truck for an oil change a few months ago and while i was there they had a client that came in with her car shaking. They looked at it cleaned out the snow in the wheel wells and sent her on her way, no charge. Now that is honesty.
very professional COVID-19 protocol. I felt completely safe and comfortable while in the shop. Randy was very courteous and easy to get along with. Explained all the work and never tried to pressure me into services I didn't need. Fantastic experience, I will be back
Ryan has built a wonderful team and I cannot thank them enough! They have taken the time to explain the issues at hand and were far from pushy. They are understanding, honest, helpful, and all around lovely to deal with. I'm really glad to have found them!
Great service and great staff.
I've used them many times. I find them honest and fair. They have stood behind their products and service. Chris runs an excellent business. I relayed to him how I was impressed with the way that they are handling the covid situation. They are really protecting their customer and their employees. They should be commended. Local dealerships have not taken the necessary precautions like Active Green and Ross. Thanks Chris, Randy and team.
Great experience, this was my first visit, all employees helpful, very courteous and respectful. I will certainly use this service again. Thank you.
Fast and friendly service
The service desk manager assumed that I did't know anything about car repair. He was also not honest with me. The mechanic neglected to torque the nuts properly on all four of my wheels. The resulting damage was a broken stud that cost me a couple hundred dollars that another garage had to fix. Don't go here.
Amazing service as usual ????????
a pleasant experience! they are pros! thanks guys!
Amazing service and a pleasure to deal with. Thank you for looking after my tire repair so promptly.
Steve was very professional and knowledgeable great prices went in detail I’d would highly recommend active green
Tire on snow thrower went flat. Marvin and team had it repaired and on my way in 5 minutes. Great service that was really appreciated!
Needed new winter tires and Emil was very helpful with picking the right tires and got them installed for me within short period of time and ready for snowfall. Would recommend this place, honest and trust worthy.
Great tire selection and best pricing. Needed two new tires put on my car. Service was very helpful, friendly and extremely quick. I am a repeat customer and would highly recommend their operation if you need tires and service.
They did a great job. I went there for tire mounting with no appintment, they did it right away. Ryan was very helpful and friendly. Highly recommended.
Knowledgeable and reliable with great customer service. If you’re looking for a mechanic and garage that you can trust and feel confident and reassured when you drive away, this is it. Had my brakes replaced for a very reasonable cost and they fixed a vibration issue at the same time. Drove away feeling like I was driving a new car and it didn’t break the bank. The owner Luc is very trustworthy, friendly, and knowledgeable. Very happy with this garage.
Stay far away! Mechanic that eats Timbits non-stop thinks he is a persuasive salesman. Tries to constantly pull the Safety card but he is so wrong.
Thank you Jeff for your amazing service yesterday! I'm thankful that my family and I can travel safe and that the whole experience was positive. You went above and beyond and I really appreciated that!!
Request for quote never replied to.
They guys took good care of me and my truck.
Really great, able to get me in last minute every time. Good prices on tires, friendly people, and they explain it to you as it goes.
Excellent customer service as well as fast, reliable mechanical service!!
Competitive prices. Have done many jobs there and have always been happy with the quality of work.
Went there today for appt to have my snow tires put on. Man at counter would not do swap unless I signed an agreement saying I would pay additional $25 if they found scale. I asked if it would be my choice to have it removed or not and he said no I would have to pay. Sounded like a scam to me so I went up the street and sure enough they told me if they find any build up they just remove it at no extra charge. Active G & R.... this is why you had an empty parking lot and the 2nd place I went to was super busy.... you're crooks!!!
Talk to cliff tell him mitch sent you for great service
Customer service was amazing. Staff were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Fair pricing, and it didn't take long either. I will definitely come here again
Fast, Friendly service.
I dropped by for an estimate and returned later the same day to have the work done. Their price was very reasonable and service was professional and timely. The technician who did the work was very helpful in answering my questions and helping me navigate the technology on my RDX. I would recommend this service centre. Rheal Raymond
Very professional. They fit my sons truck in for a tire repair even with all the appointments they had. Would recommend them again.
Went in this morning to get a quote, was ignored by the salesperson as he was busy talking with an earlier customer. The other customer was just waiting for service to finish on his own vehicle. Won't be going there again. Bad customer service. I work in the customer service field, and would never ignore another customer. He could have politely excused himself, but didn't bother. Needless to say, I left and took my business elsewhere.
Horrible customer service. I called to inquire about some tire pricing and the gentleman said he would call me back in 15 minutes. I called back the following day after not hearing from them and he said he would work on it right away and call me back. Again no call back. Given the fact that prices are readily available, I find this pretty absurd. Would have given them zero stars if I could.
Owning a car is not cheap and going cheap always cost you more, I will never understand people that complain about prices. Active Green and Ross sells top quality products and even sourced parts directly from Kia for me a day before my road trip across the country and had them professionally installed. Jeff, the manager was informative and helpful the entire way. He recommended a solid set of tires with reinforced side walls for me as I was preparing to go on a cross country road trip out west. They took my rear left tire that was in good condition and slapped a iron rim on it for a spare as my car did not have one at my request. Their friendly and quick service is phenomenal and I would highly reccomend. Also, shout out to the other amazing staff all around in the shop and at the front desk. Its so nice to have found a shop that is honest and professional that I will be using for the rest of my life. Good job Active Green+Ross Tire & Automotive Center team members!
Quick and easy, always a well done job. Thanks guys
Always professional, reliable, and friendly service!
On Saturday February 24/18 took my wife's car in for an oil change. The car would not start after it was serviced. It was determined that the starter was dead. no better situation to have your car not start at the mechanics. almost like having a heart attack at the Drs office. Ross did the repairs despite the fact that they were extremely busy. Always get excellent service,customer care, and professional treatment. would never take mycar, or my wifes car anywhere else. Dan, Sandy.
I had a fantastic experience here. Went to Canadian Tire first and they were indifferent and borderline rude. Chris solved my problem in 5 minutes with a smile. Highly recommend this business to anyone.
They where honest and correct with there advice even when they could have made a few bucks instead. That's the sign of a great shop.
I have been a regular customer at this location for more than 10 years. If you are looking for fast, quality service at a very affordable price, then this is the place to go. I have always received the best advice and care when it comes to my car. I have never had a problem with the work done or the customer service. Thank you for the great work you guys do. I highly recommended this company. Cliff and Peter are awesome at what they do! I will be delighted to keep being your loyal customer.
WE FIX $19.99 OIL CHANGES ALL DAY LONG! WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY BY MOST NEW CAR MANUFACTURES!
I booked a simple LOF for 11 am. Dropped off the car at 1030 and was shuttled in my own car (that's a first). I returned at 1pm to find the work had not yet even begun. The employee stated that they always overbooked (!) When I stated that I would simply take my car elsewhere.....suddenly it was ready in 20 minutes. As a 30+ year customer of another G&R I find this unacceptable and a very poor representation of the brand. Suffice to say my business will be back at the previous one.
Friendly, not pushy; they send a info report easily accessible by text advising what work needs to be done (some even have pics). Been going to the Falls location for years but very impressed with this location. Thanks Ron!
I highly recommend Active Green and Ross in Niagara Falls Lundy's Lane. I have had them put new tires on my car last year, also had exhaust work done on my car today. I have seen nothing but professionalism and kindness from them. They don't stop until the job is done and done right. If you need anything done I would go there.
Very honest people, professional skills, best price. Highly recommended this place for car repairs!
Easy on line booking for an oil change and they also fixed my rattling heat shield at no additional cost. Completed the work quickly at a reasonable price.
Zen and the whole team were great from the moment we came in. I appreciated being kept up to date while I was waiting. Michael and Akash went above the call of duty to make sure the bluetooth tire sensors for our Tesla fit properly in our new winter tire rims. ????????????????
After 6yrs old being a customer here and loving the small town personal touch of knowing who is working on your car and trusting them, the feeling is gone. There is new management at this location and to them you are just a number. This location is now just another big box store save your time shop around for a better price.
Poor customer service
I've been bringing my 2010 Focus to Ross for about a year now because I was sick of Ford's service department and their inability to find the causes for numerous problems I was encountering with their product. Despite spending about $4000 in repairs within a 6 month period to try and eliminate the engine shaking and clunking , I still had an issue with a clunking sound and wavy feel when I turned corners, despite having the struts, mounts and bearings replaced, as well as other repairs. Last week I had my tires swapped and Ross advised me that I needed a new tie rod end. I just had it replaced today and am happy to report the clunking noise when I'd make a turn is gone and the steering wheel is much tighter. I felt the difference as soon as I pulled out of the parking spot. After driving around for about an hour I called Ross to thank him again for finding and fixing the issue that Ford couldn't. I've always felt my car was in good hands with Ross and now I know I won't take it anywhere else. My daughter also brings her 2008 Corolla to him that was previously only serviced by Toyota. I would highly recommend this location to any woman driver who is tired of being ripped off by other shops. Trust me when I say this, as I don't often leave positive reviews for ANY company. I have about a dozen reviews to write on Homestars that I've put off for over a year, but I am so thrilled to have a smooth ride again I wanted Ross to get my 5 star rating today. Thanks again Ross and team!
I have done business with Cliff and Peter at this location for about seven years now. They have my trust when they tell me what I need and what the cost is. They don't overcharge or push unnecessary repairs. I have a couple of high mileage Hondas (300K plus) that they have helped me keep on the road. It will be the rust and not the mechanical parts that ends the lives of these cars.
Excellent service! Randy is very knowledgeable and professional and always gets the job done on time!
Friendly and professional services. Definitely will be returning!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I don’t think my vehicle drove this well driving it off the lot five years ago! Ryan, you and your team do an outstanding job!
Purchased snow tires on rims cpl years ago with the promise of free changes annually. You broke your promise to your customers. Never again.. You should have hounoured your previous committment to your customers untill they needed new tires then implemented your new policies. No way to run a business. Your reply does not suffice your so called reputation! For such a minimal reason you have lost sales because I am quite sure I am not the only one you've decieved.
I have two cars and took both in for winter tires, one new purchase and the other replacing summer tires. The staff dealt with both cars professionally and efficiently, noting on one that there was a brake issue, called me with an estimate and completed the whole process quickly and correctly. The whole staff is friendly and extremely professional.
Exceptional service. Quick and reasonable prices.
I had an incredibly positive experience here. Everyone who helped me was so extremely understanding, nice and helpful. I didn't feel pressured to get any "extra" things done to my car. I was pleasantly surprised to see how they went above and beyond not only for me, but for the other customers I was in the waiting room with. Will definitely be going there from now on! Thanks guys!
Highly recommended. Always professional, on time and reasonable prices for their services.
Brought my car in for service and Hindu was able to help me out and work on my vehicle. Did an excellent job and it was my first time servicing with that type of service centre. Will definitely recommend asking for Hindu when you go here! Honest and genuine work. Keep up the good work Hindu!
took car in to have winter tires installed as we did previous year as per spot were told lock nut socket was not located they were the only people to access such tool,needless to say,not happy they did not return tool.we have bought tires for two cars in last few years,not happy
Always fast, curteous and friendly. Good value
I had on road problem and landed outside the shop .. my problem was looked into right away in spite of them being busy and I was wrapped up in 15 minutes ... great service and amazing people. Good luck and keep up the job ... will surely be back for future repairs and service
I had a very comfortable experience dealing with this shop. The staff members were very friendly and well mannered, and the technicians were very through but honest with what needed to be done to pass my annual inspection. The shop was quick in scheduling me in, used good quality parts for anything that had to be fixed and the price was easy on the wallet. I was specifically impressed with one of the guys at the desk, Warren. His outgoing personality and attention to detail put any worries I had to easy. If he wasn't happy with something, he got it fixed until it was done right. All in all, I had a fantastic experience and will be taking my fleet there for future work. Thanks guys!
Great place service amazing very clean and organized had my oil changed done in great time I give this place a 5 star
Wow. I rarely assign a 5 star rating to a garage but the service and the way everything was managed was really great. It was in the annual rush for tire changeover. We needed 4 rims for our car, tires mounted balanced and we opted for a conventional oil change. The rims were the most reasonable given our market research and the oil change was $30. Good place!
Very friendly staff following covid precautions. They removed my winter tires and put on my all season tires. The car was left very clean.
Always helpful and gives us options to keep my family safe on the road.We appreciate your honesty and integrity.
Came in for a simple winter tire switch, the mechanics told us we needed about $1000 extra of work. I did it myself and every single thing they told me I needed was broken. Extremely grateful as it was all very important parts for safety. Everybody we dealt with there was extremely professional and nice. Highly recommended shop.
Very kind people! 100% trust and will come again.
A++ Service, always accommodating for same day service, very fair pricing, excellent customer service, highly recommended!
Excellent service. This is my go to place whenever I need work on my car. Friendly and efficient service.
Poor quality of service. They do the minimum and nothing more.
What a service!!! So happy!!! We had a 'valve ' issue With one of our tire. The guy who served us knew that we where Only ''tourists"...he had an opportunity of charging a fare amount.But instead he told to us...i hope you have a good rest of vacations in our beautiful area....hand back the Keys to us...free of charge. WHAT!!!!that was so kind !!! Good people still exist at Active Green +Ross Tire!! ***the tire repair was very well made. Thanks again
After I retest my car for a renew ticket I fail, I have my car repaired for failures and engine check lights. After my car has been repaired and there are no engine check lights anymore. I came here to retest and have failed as I arrived at the first retest when my car passed. I will never come here again
Made an appointment and got in quickly as there was a cancellation Friendly and quick service
I came for winter tires replacement. It was done fast, as promised. The stuff is very friendly, and helpful.
Awesome service...efficient and friendly! Totally saved the day after blowing a tire. I would absolutely recommend Active Green and Ross St. Catharines!
Great place friendly people fast work
Horrible ! I called to ask for oil changes prices as i was shopping around and the man on the phone was rude ! Wouldn't tell me a price unless I knew my engine size ??? I'm a person whose never even popped my hood.
Adnan, Cliff and the team at this Active Green and Ross location are honest, reliable and excellent at what they do. They have serviced numerous vehicles of mine over the years. I highly recommend their services.
Mr.Zain Wang was very professional and pleasant to deal with. The pricing is very reasonable . Highly recommended this Active Green and Ross Centre.
Have brought my vehicle here the last two times I needed repair and will continue to use as my main mechanic. They were able to fit me into their schedule and got my vehicle back to me same day both times at the price they quoted. They also kept me updated throughout the day on the status of the repair. Highly recommend.
Great pricing and work. All in all excellent.
Excellent customer service, very friendly staff. Everything was explained before hand in detail. Excellent price for service.
Great experience and prices, time after time! Always treated my wife great with or without me there. Nice to know were always taken care of and never taken advantage of whether I am there or not, thank you for your great service! I recommend this garage to anyone thinking about going. You will not be disappointed!
I can't thank Chris and Skylar enough. I got a flat tire on my way to a presentation. They got the car to the shop and put the spare on for me in no time at all. They rescued me like true blue heroes. Thank you for being extraordinary humans. Go and see them for your car needs!
Mike and crew are simply amazing, great service with outstanding results. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for quality service and parts for their vehicles! Keep up the good work!
Updating my old review (leaving it below to be fair), which was 5 stars. Unfortunately my second visit was the opposite of my first experience. ********** Very friendly and professional. I think I dealt with Alex - super helpful and no issues with bringing my own tires to be put on rims and balanced. I really wanted to have them balanced as precisely as possible and they were done flawlessly.
Bunch of awesome guys and honest
Chris and Randy and the team are the best! My husband and i take all of our vehicles to them for all service needs - not just tires. Very professional, timely, and accommodating- they are good people!
Fair and honest
Highly recommend Ryan and his team. Have now purchased 3 sets of tires there in the last 8 months and each time they had the best price. Very satisfied with the work and customer service.
Had trouble on my way into Niagara on a Friday night with my fiance. Not only were they the only number I called that answered the phone in the morning, they made time to pull me in the shop and make sure I was safe to make it home that Saturday. Thankful for their help and kindness.
Brought car in for loud squeaking noise and TOLD them it may be stabilizer bar. Picked up car and exact same noise was there. Ryan called the next day to say it was now fixed. They replaced the S links. First time they replaced the control arms at 500 bucks! When I asked to address the mistake on their end I was told don’t even go there, we replaced the most obvious part. When I picked up the car the poor mechanic had to stumble over his words and lie well the owner just sat there. I had been going there for years but NEVER again with the NEW OWNERSHIP. Only filled thIs out as they kept sending review requests to a very unhappy customer.
They're always extremely helpful and very friendly. Great customer service!
They do the work you need, for a reasonable cost and get your car back to you on time.
Was in the area working when I found a nail in the tire and losing air pressure, went in to Green and Ross in Kitchener and explained I was headed back to Toronto and needed fixed, Zain took truck in and got me back on the road as soon as possible including an oil change, was very happy with service and price ,thankyou
Highly recommended, very nice people and really take it upon themselves to help their clients. Excellent, excellent service!! Brad was very knowledgable and helpful. The only auto shop in Kitchener out of the 7-8 I called that was able to help me out on short notice right before closing for the night. Got my winter tires installed at Canadian Tire and they messed it up and I got a flat tire on the highway because of poor installation. Active Green and Ross fixed the issue with the tire last minute right before the closed. Very nice people, and highly recommented. Definitely the auto shop my family and I will be using for all future needs.
My battery quit and I wanted it replaced with a high quality battery that I could rely on for the rest of our use of the car (about 5 years). I needed the car as soon as possible, like we all do and was surprised that when I called Green and Ross they said "bring it in now". It was getting towards the end of the day and I thought I would be lucky to get in tomorro. When I arrived there they said it would be about an hr and a half as the battery had to be deliverred. It actually arrived in about 15 min. and they had it installed in about 15 min. The person I delt with was professional and competent and kept me updated. The work that was done was very good and I am very particular. I checked the battery when I got home and it was about 60% charged, which is to be expected as the batteries we buy now are all pre charged and then flooded. I trickle charged it over night at 3a and in the morning it read 100% at 13.1 volts. That's a happy battery. I feel it would be difficult to get better service anywhere else. The battery was replaced with a Die Hard 7yr warrenty type.for about $300.
Quick service installed tires while I waited!
Honest service with fair prices, highly recommend
Purchased a set of Michelin winters for my Honda Pilot. They had the best price, but it didn't end there. Staff at this location managed to source my tires and steel rims at a different location and courier them over. They fit me in to their schedule the exact same day that i went in to price out the tires....one of the first snowy days of the season. Others that i called were booking for the first week in January for installs. Thanks for making it happen so quickly.
Professional, informed and kind service is what I experienced. Thank you!
This is the only place I have brought my car to in 2 years. Highly recommend them! It’s great service and they really care about the work they do.
Great service and fast turn-around time.
I have been taking my whole family"s cars there for years. They always find the problem quickly and fix it properly. They are the best place in the Niagara region to take your car !!!!
Easy to talk to, everything was explained to me. The whole appointment was a real pleasure! Look forward to be dealing with Glen and Cassy again. Have already mentioned the establishment to others! Thank you!
Been here 4 times happy that I switched guys are professional and give great customer service. They are also knowledgeable and do a great job. Will definitely tell people to go there
They got the tires I wanted and they changed them over the next day.
I've come to this place twice and both times I've been given terrible service. The first time I came to check on the rear brakes of my car and it cost me $166! They didn't even do anything except just look at my brakes and it cost me that much money. The second time, they lied to me by saying my transmission was leaking when it wasn't. I didn't see any problem yet they insisted that they "fix" it. I finally allowed them to do it and instead of fixing the "problem", they just made it 10 times worse. Now, my transmission is leaking for real and it's all their fault. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone who wants to fix their car. If you want your car to suffer eternal problems, this is the place for you. On top of that, the manager has terrible customer service and sucks at dealing with people. Don't step foot in that place if you know what's good for you.
Amazing
Very polite staff who answered all of my questions. I was made aware of a better deal that suited my driving habits instead of the one I chose from the online quote. This ended up saving me money which I was grateful for since I actually needed a 2nd tire. The work was completed as estimated. Most of all, I was happy that the place is very clean and follows covid guidelines. I felt safe!
Very personable and professional. Brad goes into great detail when explaining things.
Not trust worthy. Dirty shop.
Quality work and service!
Great service and friendly staff, the work done on your vehicle is great, I would recommend to friends and family!
Exceptional and outstanding service. Thank you so much guys for wonderful services.
Owner was great. Was very informative and costs were reasonable. Would definately go back.
Excellent customer service from Cliff, Peter and his whole team. Mechanics are very knowledgable and friendly. These guys professionally and efficiently remedied my question/concern relating to previous service.
My husband brought our truck into receive its routine oil change which we have done at this location 8 times previously with no issues what so ever. During the oil change the gear shift in our truck had been damaged by the mechanic. They notified us that this happened and proceeded to try and fix it as the truck was not able to be put in any other gear. After quite some time we were told that they could not fix it and that another part needed to be ordered. We were a little frustrated as now we would be out of a vehicle for THREE days and my husband would now have to cab to work every morning from St. Catharines to Niagara Falls. No apologies, no rental car offered just a "fend for yourself" response. We finally received a phone call that the truck was fixed and to come pick it up. We were relieved to have our vehicle back until my husband went into pay for what he thought was just the cost of the oil change. As to our surprise we were slammed with an $600+ bill!!! They charged us for the repairs for the damages that their mechanic had done while in their possession. My husband obviously confused asked why we were one responsible to pay? Their response was "it was a fluke that it happened in our posession, it probably would've happened to you too". We were floored to say the least. After going back and forth my husband even generously agreed to pay for half of the damages and the shop pay for the other half. We were told no and that if we didn't pay the whole amount they would keep our truck. This then escalated to notifying the owner Ryan, that if this situation isn't resolved we will call the police, to which Ryan responded "go right ahead". We called the police who notified us that it was a civil matter and that they would be there as soon as they could to assist. We even put the police officer on speaker to talk to the owner to notify him that he would be there within the hour if the situation wasn't remedied. Ryan still not believing that the cops were on their way refused to change the bill payment. Within the hour the police showed up, they spoke to my husband and Ryan separately to try and mediate. We were given two options 1) $150 off the total or 2) have the shop remove the part they installed in our truck and have it towed to another mechanic to fix. The officer advised that although we weren't in the wrong he suggested to take the $150 off the total and consider taking the owner to small claims court for the remainder of the bill payment. After being there for 4 hours after work on a Friday we agreed with the officer and paid the remainder of the bill. The officer commended my husband for keeping his cool throughout the whole process and for calling the police to assist in mediation. We notified Active Green and Ross head office of this situation and it is now in the owner's files. For future customers please be aware!!
Never any complaints about the service here. Always on time, give great advice and never do unnecessary work. Highly recommended!
Brad is excellent. He provided honest and prompt service in a professional way. He is easy to talk to and will help you out as much as he can without being pushy. I will definitely be back. Hard to find good service like this. Thanks a lot Brad and keep up the good work.
KILLS ENGINES I took my 2007 Infiniti G35 coupe to Ross to check my engine out because I suspected my timing chain was causing problems. My first impression was that these guys are really friendly and my car was in great hands. Ross claimed that he had an experienced mechanic that knew how to work on these types of vehicles which made me even more confident that I was taking my car into the right person. It also helped that this was a franchise company that was well known which seemed like green lights everywhere. His team opened up my engine and found no faults from physically doing this. They resealled, lubricated, and put the engine back together that’s cost me roughly $560.00 CDN with taxes in. It was a bit much but I had a piece of mine that my engine was in a healthy condition or so I thought. As time went by. My engines performance was slowly deminishing. It didn’t accelerate the way it used to. I knew something was wrong when I actually double up my oil changes and this vehicle was running on syntethic oil. I was losing oil when I was thinking it was because of my highway driving. I was very concerned so I took it to a different mechanic. One that was experienced with working with sports cars. He did diagnostics and he came back to me with heartbreaking news. This mechanic asked me if I did any engine work before and I explained to him what active green and Ross did. He told me that whatever they had done was from someone that was inexperienced (probably an apprentice) and the materials used to seal back the engine was the wrong material. The seal that was suppose to be used should of been a high heat capacity seal and AGR used just a regular seal. Certain screws and parts weren’t secured back in properly. If they didn’t know there way around these vehicles. It would be very easy to miss these things. This mechanic hoasted up my vehicle and showed me that the bottoms the engine block was bleeding oil through the seal. So this mechanic decided not to attempt to fix anything and told me to take it back to AGR and explain to them what’s going wrong. I took my car there and I was with my 3 year old son at the time and I tried to explain to Ross what was happening and he automatically went on the defensive in and told me that it his fault. He refused to even look at my vehicle and told me that if he wanted him to check out my vehicle. I would have to pay for them to do so. I was furious on how unprofessional and different Ross was acting towards me. I asked him to talk to the mechanic that diagnosis the engine and he refused to do that too. He said that it was passed the warranty of the service and there was nothing he could do. I would get no compensation. But Regardless if this was passed the warranty or not. My vehicle engine was improperly and incorrectly put back together which caused problems to my vehicle. My engine wasn’t suppose to DIE 20000 km after it was serviced by Active Green & Ross. This is exactly was happened to me when I left there with no other choice from him. I begged him to look at my vehicle And he refused unless his pockets got feathered. I left and my engine died on my way back to Peterborough. I got the vehicle towed back to my mechanic and to made a long story short. Engine swap had to happen which cost me $4000.00. I want to get my story across because this should never happen to a consumer at a mechanic shop. Shops like these use poor material to fix your vehicles and as long as it passes the warranty. They’re covered but you arnt. I was tricked and I will never go back to an active green and Ross again. It was my first and only time I will ever go to a shop like this again. They should stick what they know and only do tires. Don’t start attempting to fix vehicles with apprentices at your shop that people like me work hard for only for an inexperienced place like this to ruin it.
Very knowledgeable, quite reasonable prices, and, I appreciated the extra effort they took in taking photos to explain things that I would not have understood without them.
Have been going here for years. The service is outstanding!
Showed up to the shop after they closed with a flat tire. Steve ross really helped me out with putting on my spare and rotating my tire to the back so my steering wheel wouldn't be off. Very professional service and even helped me out after they closed. 5 stars.
Excellent service. Wonderful people
I regularly change over my winter and summer tires at this location. Cliff is always helpful and provides a great service. Last month he pointed out there was very little tread on my tires. My vehicle uses Run Flats, and 4 tires are expensive. I asked if he would match Costco's prices and he did. I'd rather give the business to a small independent. Thanks to Cliff and his team for providing a great service at a competitive price.
I did oil change and they were doing well. Good service !
I am very impressed with the service I received from this establishment. In today’s world what a lot of companies seem to have forgotten about is customer service this place has definitely not . I’m moving to St Catharines in the near future and will be going nowhere else for the service of my vehicle.
Expensive and untrustworthy. Took my car to patch a flat tire that had a nail. They fixed it but I was surprised at the cost. Week and a half later the flat tire warning came back. Went back and they said it was a new nail. They showed me the tire but the problem is that it was the original issue. I showed them a picture of the tire from a month back. They were indifferent and didn't really care for what I said. Ultimately I would avoid, they are expensive and untrustworthy.
Would Never go back to AGR- Ritson. We had our brakes done on our 2010 Santa Fe @ the Oshawa AGR- Ritson Rd in November. We also had snow tires, that we supplied, installed. Our Bill was $926. Within a couple of days our right rear caliper seized which overheated the pads and burned the rotor. I returned to the store immediately and asked it to be serviced and explained to Ross the Manager that i needed this fixed right away since i had an important meeting to attend the next day but he said it was too close to closing and to come back tomorrow. I explained that i could not drive the car in this shape and really needed this fixed that night. Again told to come back the next day. I did not feel comfortable leaving me truck there overnight, so i slowly made my way home. By the morning the caliper was so seized that i had it towed (my cost) to another Mechanic. Upon his evaluation i needed to replace the calipers, rotors and pads on the right side. Our Mechanic stated the calipers were not cleaned and serviced and were full of gunk, which resulted in it to be seized. Furthermore, 2 of the installed Snow Tires were put on backwards. All together spent another $560 to have it fixed. I went back to Ross and showed him the bill and asked to be reimbursed for the brakes and tire install. Ross was only willing to pay back the $106 for the tire install and nothing more. Having no choice i settled on the $106. A couple of more weeks passed and we then developed clunking noise in the back and front of the truck. We took it back to our Mechanic only to find out that the pads on the front left and back left have come loose from the clips and were rattling loudly when driving. We had these replaced with new pads and clips. Another cost of $400. Our Mechanic stated that the pads the AGR installed were inferior and not suited for our truck and not installed properly. It goes without question that AGR- Ritson has some issues with it workmanship. Needless to say spending an extra $960 is totally unacceptable and we do not recommend AGR- Ritson.
Fast accurate troubleshooting, (found a broken clamp on radiator hose), explained the issue directly, resolved issue, (new clamp, refilled radiator with the correct coolant), tested solution (ran engine and checked for leaks) before going back out on road with high confidence. Recieved $10 off for being a first time customer. Would recommend doing business with this clean and honest shop in the future.
I didn't have a good experience in the past where they told me my tire was beyond repair but I decided to give them a second chance and they did not disappoint. Had 2 of my rims cleaned and I asked them to show me what was causing the slow leak and the person working on my car obliged. I waited less than what I was originally told I would have to wait which I was happy about as well.
Great price and same day service. Personable staff
Brought car in for safety, and once was told what needed done was super pushy, to make me get work done at shop and had my car taken apart Expecting me to pay them the 2300$ they were asking, when said I will be fixing myself got angry and tried to convince me to do work at shop, left shop and got all pieces for under half of what they were going to charge, enless you got a pocket full to drop for no reason I would look at going to another shop, was also told got 10 days to have the car ready and he will only charge 50% of another safety test, every other garage tells me I got 10 days bring back the look at free and hand me ticket if all done.. I’m sure I will get hiked for making this review but they emailed me asking to .
Ken has a sweet mullet
Reasonable prices and friendly staff
Ryan and the team do a good job. Quick and done correct.
Very friendly staff, the technicians are polite and get the job done fast. I love coming here and will always continue to come here.
Not much of weight services was best i been in long time covid19 starts at door, mask, distance ,very clean, very frendly service, my car work was excellent, not long weight tell you what's wrong before starting your work then you make decision for your car be fix by there services professional gentlemen on dutie,when finished the manager servicing comes and tell you what has been done to you car and show you step by step instructions your price of the service,then you pay.iam so pleased all around,my number one garage.
Great customer service and helped me out in a pinch. Thanks so much!
Really good team responsible and professional ????
So many better options in the area than these robbers.
Best mechanic in Toronto. Fast, punctual and very fair with their pricing. Aren't afraid to work on larger vehicles if they can. Definitely recommend.
Technical knowledge second to non, and the techs are very personable.
Excellent customer service
Friendly people! Always helpful! In and out quickly today changing my winter tires. Some years they are so busy but they always try their best! Been going there for several years.
Good friendly service
Excellent service and great prices too!
Very friendly
Great service. amazing people
I was there yesterday at 1:30 with my Odyssey and was very satisfied with the service. I have been using this location for many years and plan to continue. Cliff, the manager, always provides service with a smile and is great at diagnosing car issues. I am most impressed with his honesty!
avoid at all costs. total rip off. if you aren't very savvy about car stuff they will literally clean your bank account.
Very happy with the service and repair of my tire. It was done on the same day I called. Comfortable waiting room with television and air conditioning.
Literally the best place in Welland to go for automotive work and repair. Friendly, knowledgeable, experienced staff
Randy is the best person you can meet in the industry, and the service is fantastic.
I went there for Tire fix and and I didn't even get charged for switching my tires and also got good recommendations for my winter tires. I definitely recommend this place.
Great service, well explained, fair price, good work. Can’t ask for more.
Had a winter tire swap done at a different tire shop but tech could not install 2 of the lug bolts on the front driver-side wheel due to a threading issue. Called AG+R the following day and spoke to Paul to explain the issue. Despite a busy schedule, Paul was nice enough to squeeze me in the same day. Michael inspecpted the hub and using a specialized tool, he was able to rethread the first set of threads on the bolt holes and install both lug bolts in no time. Should have gone to AG+R in the first place! Very impressed with the service, capability and professionalism. Will definitely be back. Thanks.
I've been coming here for over 10 years and have always gotten great service. They've helped me out a couple times when I needed an emergency tire repair on the way to an appointment and always take the time to explain anything they're doing with my car. I will never go to another garage again.
Person on the phone was knobby, with an attitude
The best garage I've ever been to. Rob and Ken are honest and really nice guys. I won't take my vehicles anywhere else. Highly recommended!
I have been a loyal customer of Ross’s garage for a number of years, and my recent visit to this business proved once again I will continue to trust him with all our family vehicles. Appointment times scheduled are always kept and the work done always done to my satisfaction. This is one business I can always rely on.
Excellent job guys.
Great service and much better inspection of my car. you will not get this service that promises ten min. oil changes. I highly advise using them. I will be using them in the future like I have been using them in the past.
Great guys running the shop. Only place I will take my car for tires
Randy was extremely helpful in getting my son's car back on the road. Plugged a tire and found another leak in another tire. Gave me plenty of options to choose from plugging to replacing. Didn't push too hard replace the set. Definitely going back...
Big thanks to Cletus (hope that's how you spell your name) busiest time of the year for a tire shop and he still managed to help me out with some stubborn lug nuts. Much appreciate!
After doing an oil change they did not replace cover to air filter unit. The windshield wipers they replaced flew off my car the first time I used them. Both of them within 10 sweeps of the windshield. Plus I was told Rob would call me. He did not. If he did call me I would not have posted this. It was around my 6th service with them and I was happy till then. They called
I highly suggest you go here if you want lightning quick speed and clean professional work. The staff are informative and are more interested in educating you than anything else. These friendly people are welcoming and honest. We will be back!
Was recommended to come here and very glad I did. Service excellent. People very friendly and helpful. Will come here for all my car needs.
Excellent place for tires....oil change....etc ....nice guy managing
They almost always have time to squeeze you in for a quick oil change and if your vehicle needs work they'll work with you to get it done within your budget. They have never pushed me into getting work done that is needed and are super friendly.
Wonderful staff and excellent service. They started working on my car exactly when my appointment was scheduled and finished before schedule. They left the car spotless. Costs are extremely reasonable and fair. Great job ! I recommend Active Green + Ross to all my family and friends.
Went in because my exhaust pipe completely fell off, I had it in the trunk of my car when I came in. They didn’t try to up-sell me on anything or make me buy parts I didn’t need, they welded it back together in a few hours and I was good to go! Straight to business kind of people there I highly appreciated it
Went in for a brake issue. They couldn't even figure out that the calipers were on the wrong side. Very incompetent mechanics. May trust them with an oil change but will never go back.
I shopped around a bit for pricing and AGR were very competitive. I came in after a quick call to Randy to buy winter tires and rims. He was very informative and they fixed me up pretty quick even though it was a busy Saturday close to closing time. I bought tires and alloy rims and within a week they were installed. Great service.
Quality and efficient service at affordable costs. Workers are trustworthy and friendly. Will be a returning customer!
They're lazy to give a quote
Love my new Tires. Called others for the same tires and Active Green+Ross gave us the best deal. Thanks!
Good service ...Rob is very nice and friendly
Wish I could give this place more than 5 stars because they're superbly professional and friendly. I went to 7 automotive centres to find a good estimate for new tires, and I chose Active Green+Ross Tire & Automotive Centre because they had the best prices, recommended the best quality tires, included a warranty for the tires, and provided a free inspection for the car. Turns out, they spotted a lot more things than my regular dealership inspection. After the new tires and the fixes they recommended, it's like I have a brand new car. I'd like to give a special shoutout to Alex! Thank you for your wonderful service!
Won't take my car anywhere else. Rob and his staff give the best customer service around. They do a great job for a fair price.
excellent price on tires and installed on time at appointment.. great service.
I have been going to this location for I don't recall how many years and keep on going back as the need arises. Most recently, in our old (1999) Toyota we had a problem with a lack of heat in the car. What I thought would be a simple change the thermostat turned into the problem coming from the water pump. So, with that we had the timing belt replaced (was long overdue), the water pump and for good measure, the thermostat. They also noticed a couple of belts were in very bad shape so had them replaced as well. The car runs great now, we feel more secure and of course, we now have heat! Thanks to Cliff and Peter for following this through and making sure it was done right and solved the problem. Whether for repairs or tires, trust these guys ... they are as honest and sincere as they come. Thanks again!
Great work and pleasant staff that are always trying to save you money. The only garage I have taken my car to since moving to Ottawa. Keep coming back for reliable and trust worthy service.
I recently bought a set of winter tires and rims for a new van. AGR had the best price by a decent margin (and I called basically every tire centre in Ottawa). Despite it being the end of season, they were able to have the tires and rims in within three days and had them installed in under an hour. Extra shout-out to Alex in sales, who was able to answer all my questions (e.g., whether or not to go -1 on the winter tires, whether to use car or truck tires, etc.), and even recommended the option that would save me the most money. All in all, a great experience.
Always friendly, and efficient. The staff was very helpful when I bought my winter tires from them initially, and my appointments have always been on time and completed within the time estimated. If there is anything concerning, they have always let me know.
Friendly and efficient
Extremely efficient, knowledgeable and friendly. I blew a tire the night before and they brought my car in the next morning and had it all fixed up in time for me to get to work. Awesome service!
The service was excellent at the Welland location. The plastic front undercovering for our car had a few screws missing and was hanging down. A bad snow storm created the problem, that I had to drive through thick snow, created by bad plow jobs by the city. My wife phoned for an appointment to fix the problem and they had an opening right away. They fixed the problem right away, as promised, and did it for free. Great service from them will create customer loyalty from me!
Always helpful!
Peter was very helpful providing me with various quotes for a set of new winter tires and rims. The work was done in the amount of time promised. I am very happy with the service provided. Thank you!
Always had great service. On time & very easy to deal with.
Brad was great to work with. I had a slow leak. They quickly let me know the issue and sent a picture. He is very honest. Asked me to check my warranty just in case it was covered. It wasn't but I appreciated him doing that. He quickly sourced me a new tire. Great service from start to finish !! I will definitely work with them in the future.
Great service offered by Sohel and his staff at the Oshawa location. Accommodated me in my schedule and did the services in a timely manner. He inly suggested what was required and parts that needed to be replaced. Honest and trustworthy and would highly recommend you to go and see Sohel at this location.
Fantastic service. Super helpful staff and always very friendly. Got our winter tires here and could not be happier! Cliff is great!
I have been taking my car there for years. Cliff is personable, patient and empathetic. He calmly explains what has to be done and why. And when you leave you know that the work was done professionally, within budget and on time. Fully recommended without reservation.
Great service and great prices! Thanks Chris and Randy!
Super professional knolageable take pride in there work and most importantly they don't take short cuts in the work that you PAY to have done
I recommend for winter tyres
Just got Kelly all season tiers installed on my vehicle. Very happy with the work done at Green and Ross. They are very helpful with getting you the right tire in your price range, and do a great job on installation. I'll be back again next time I need tires and you should too!
Got my safety inspection there with reasonable price and fast service. Thank you Ron
My first experience with this shop was amazing! I couldn’t believe how friendly all the staff were! I had a few issues with my car & they brought me out to show me what was actually wrong! I’ve been going to them ever since & every time they explain what’s wrong & what needs to be fixed. It’s always done in a timely matter! Definitely the go to mechanic for St. Catharines! Honest staff with great prices! It’s hard to find honest mechanics anymore. Keep up the great work!
Worst place to ever go they lost my locking nut they damaged my brand new summer rims then said they would make it right and fix it all and then when time came to pay to fix them they said no plus force drive 2 hours to deal with it they were so unprofessional and ignorant lies dont ever go here
Went to get oil change, no cars in lot or garage but they couldn't take me without booking a appointment. Drove down the street pulled into another dealer had it done right there.
I always appreciate their service,keep it up
Top notch.
great service, quick and professional work. I would recommend them to anyone who needs work done on their vehicle.
I have purchased two sets of tires from them to my cars. Brad has made a research to save my time and provided valuable information to compare different tires and professional advice to make the right selection. They made all efforts to make my appointments and service convenient to me. The prices were good as well as they did match with the best offer I found. The service was done quickly and accurately. A small Active G&R brand name bag for a spare sets of bolts on top of everything was a very nice perk to wrap up.
I pulled up with squeaky brakes and a bubble in my tire. The service writer “Ryan” was very knowledgeable and was able to source me brakes, rotors, and tires within 5-10 minutes of walking through the door. I booked my appointment for less then 48 hours later, dropped my car off on my lunch break, and was able to get a great mechanic “Joe” to drop me back off at work. When I came by after work to pick up the car “Davis” was very friendly and processed my work in less then 5 minutes. These guys at this shop are the best mechanical experience I’ve ever encountered. If you need brakes or tires, I highly recommend this shop! I spent less then 15 minutes getting everything organized with these guys and they worked their magic to make my 2011 Honda Accord perform like it’s new again. I wish the car dealers could operate as smoothly as they do at this shop. I’m typically wasting hours of my days dreading going to get any work done. Where as these guys are the best place I’ve encountered! Keep up the excellent work!!
Great Team, always helped me out quickly and provided fair transparent pricing. If you're new to town a looking for a good car doctor these are your guys.
Always had great service. Office is very clean. Everyone seem to be very friendly..Highly recommended.
They definitely know how to take care of the customers thank you guys for good service
Fixed our flat in 15 minutes and at a very reasonable price about a third of what I was expecting.
Terrific Service! my husband purchased tires simply by comparison of rates to other companies. He had such a great experience with Jeff that he then purchased tires for my vehicle which was a great black friday deal. a few weeks later we were back for repairs that Jeff pointed out and we couldn't be happier. Feeling safe and satisfied on the road. Thanks again, what a great team!!! outstanding customer service Jeff!!!!
Go see Cliff. He will take care of you!!
The staff is professional, informative and meet their timelines
Great place to fix your vehicle! Friendly as well!
Customer service is second to none! Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Fair prices. I drive out of my way to come to this location
Very professional, excellent service, very reasonable prices, kind service. Would highly recommend this shop.
I bought my camry for an oil change here 3 years ago. A mechanic named susan drove my car and I as a passenger for test drive as she was assessing any problem by then a 50k plus odometer car. They were nice drop me by my apartment as I wait for the service to finish. Every now and then my cell would ring and there goes an explanation of additional service required. Me as a new car owner that time is fragile on dealing with car technician/salesperson..so just agreed to services till the racked 800plus dollars. An oil change was added by cabin filter change, transmission oil flush and battery replacement. To give them a benefit of the doubt, they said they machined my rear rotor and its on them. which is another story for me. Following years I become car enthusiast. Then recently I purchased a battery in costco. Now thats strange because my battery last 3 years?? well that could happen. but I found out that they replaced me a smaller battery with a smaller cold cranking amps. I thought the kirkland battery is too big in my car but then I found out when I removed the old diehard battery the fitment is just exactly with the new one. I swear I would not swear BUT...anyway find a better mechanic...just my two cent..
My car head lights were not getting turned of.. if i turn of the car battery would go dead.. so kind of need a quick fix..this guy was super busy checked quickly did a temporary fix in like less than 5 minutes.. dint charge a dime... absolutely brilliant.. great values..!!
Took great care of my son and I???? Best service and I felt very comfortable. Will recommend them to everyone ! Thanks guys !
I had the displeasure of dealing with this location awhile ago. I was a new driver at the time and out of bad luck ended up with a big nail in my tire the first week of driving. I was nearby so I ended up here where I found out the tire couldn’t be patched and would need to be replaced. They told me I would also have to replace the other back tire so they would be even. apparently the only tires in stock were the more expensive ones so on my 2007 Kia I spent 800$ on two tires. The worst part was they didn’t even do an alignment so I had to bring it somewhere else after all this happened to have the car aligned as it was unsafe the way they gave it back to me. The guys there were really nice, but I definitely felt like they took advantage of the situation knowing I was a new driver.
Cliff is very friendly & accommodating, always very clear on what needs to be done now vs what can wait until next oil change. Would recommend this Green & Ross location for car service. - Aldo A.
Ordered my tires online and scheduled the appointment.. it was all very easy and quick. Our service took less than an hour and the service manager was super friendly and professional. Recommended additional required service without being pushy about it. Will definitely be back.
Ordered new winter tires on rims for 2018 Volt . From online quote to installation customer service was excellent. Had an initial problem with sensors which, much to my surprise, was resolved fairly and quickly.
Older man was very rude and disrespectful.
Phenomenal service, felt valued as a customer. Thanks!
Called them on Saturday's morning with oil leak problem on a long weekend. They identified the problem, give me a quote and fixed the problem after I agreed in a short time. I am very pleased with the service I received.
Best and prompt service that I have experienced. Always ready to help. Professional approach and pleasant in interaction. Feel safe to get my vehicle serviced here regularly. Plus the offers are awesome. Team is awesome, Zain , Raman, Keval just to name a few. Thanks guys. Keep up the great service.
Very good service
Amazing customer service and dedication to detail. After 3 trips and one broken side mirror at another location, Chris took it upon himself to drive my truck with me before and after as well as drive his own truck with the same tires. Chris dealt with tire manufacturer on my behalf and at no cost to me replaced all 4 tires. I am in the trade myself and it was so nice to see someone else that still cares....thanks again Chris & team Jeff T
An honest shop owner and mechanics. They know what they're doing here. Big difference from other places I've been.
Nice to deal with
Great job at a fair price. Very informative and don't try to charge you for work that's not needed. My new repair shop!
Very professional. While I waited for my oil change and seasonal tire change, they put air in all 4 tires for 2 walk in customers... no charge. I forgot to bring my hubcaps, so they had to remove the tires again and put the hubcaps on this time(they are not the snap-on style), again with no charge. All the guys I spoke to were friendly and courteous. Going to use these guys from now on.
very good service!
I appreciate how they go out of their way to help you understand what it is that is wrong. They aren't about costing you extra. Overall absolutely amazing staff. I hated the Jeep I bought until they help me.
Excellent service
Really fast service. Very friendly and reasonable prices
Marvin Van Pronsen is a very helpful, kind, friendly & have positive attitude. I am very much impressed with their services. I recommend.
NEVER AGAIN. Horrible customer service. My girlfriend & I bought winter tires for both our vehicles from Canadian Tire on Gibb st. Oshawa. (michelin x-ice xi2's). We experience terrible traction in snow with both vehicle's. After a 2 month battle with Canadian Tire refusing to exchange the tires with a different model or brand, we contacted Michelin. Michelin first sent us to this Active Green and Ross location (Ritson Rd. Oshawa) and the owner refused help us because of the warranty complication. Michelin offered to give us free tire replacement, we just had to pay for installation at the dealer and the owner still refused to help us stating that & I quote" We make no money out of this" Disgusted by the owner, We contacted Active Green and Ross on Dundas St. in whitby and they were more than happy to help us there. Go To Active Green & Ross in Whitby for Tires, see Cory.
There nice
Prompt, professional, friendly one-stop service - highly recommended.
The staff tells you what needs to be repaired immediately or what can be done at a later date.Fast friendly service at a great price.I recommend Green and Ross to family and friends.
Highly recommend.
My wife has gone in for an oil change and pretty much did a whole test on the car for batteries and other things. They wrote up a quote for her to fixe those issues but i did find that some of the prices were a little higher than their other locations, they did not push her to fix them there but they did advice her which is a priority to fix. My issue is the vsc track off and engine light was on when she came back. I checked gas cap, reset button with the track button and other things to diagnose the issue. Then i read their print out of their check list and they checked the spark plugs, so i checked under the hood and sure enough the spark plug ignition coils were loose and not put back properly. Im not sure if they did this on purpose so that we would go back there to get them to fix it and pay for it but its not the first time that my wife was over charged or asked to repair something that was not necessary. But all in all, yeah they had good customer service for my wife and also recommended her to get cheap oil....
Two weeks ago I ordered new tires for my truck. Made the appointment to have them installed and all was good. A week later I had a low pressure warning on my RT Rear tire. I took it back they added air and said if it happens again to bring it back and they will look into it. Now, it was the beginning of a long weekend so off I went only to have the tire go low again. I brought the vehicle back on the way to work to have air and to make a appointment to have it investigated more. The manager said that I had to wait to have someone come back from lunch to add the air because he was the only one here? I made the appointment, brought the truck in before my 10 AM appointment only to be told that it's going to be a couple of hrs as ' all my morning appointments are here, including me, and it's going to be ' a couple of hrs ' to even start on my issue. They asked where I live to take me home, about 20 minutes away, but then they said that wasn't a option? I drove away!? Customer service? Hmmm, think not! Totally not happy!!
Kudos to Active Green and Ross for their stellar customer service. I’ve dealt with them for three sets of tires over the past few years. His year I was most impressed when Brad, the manager, left a message reminding me to book my winter tire swap in early October.
Great people to do business with!! Professional experience every time I have been there for the last 10 years!! What more needs to be said?
The store manager Sohel treats people like people like to be treated & be a sensor he was very patient with me when I asked questions about brakes & explained the parts used & how they worked. Very professional manager & shop
Chris, Randy and Skylar are skilled and conscientious in their work. I recently had a brake overhaul on my Mercedes. They were on time, and the price was great.
Love this place, polite friendly and professional staff. Comfortable waiting area, excellent quality work done on my car and speedy. Never disappointed when getting work done on my car here. Seriously love this place and wont go anywhere else even if it means spending a few extra dollars as i know exactly what I am getting when I come here as they focus on my car's needs rather than most shops who are only focused on selling you stuff you do not need or can not afford, they are honest.
Good service friendly and helpful staff
Always a pleasure dealing with Luke, Alex and the team. We have been customers for years - great service, good value, support, etc. Thank you!
Friendly and honest guys, they tell you upfront what might be wrong (so you can get prepared, no surprises) the surprise was that they told me that everything was okay and only the normal service was required. I have found my trusted guys. I am doing my windshield there now, and all future maintenance
These guys are great to deal with. No BS..upfront and explain the issues well. Thanks Brad!
Never thought my first Google review would be for an auto shop. Auto shops like any business is only as good as its staff. The service has not always been perfect - no one is perfect, we're only human. What is more important and the reason why I continue to use and recommend this location, is Cliff and Peter are honest. 1. When some shops might makeup a charge, they have serviced our family van for free under warranty covered by previous services. 2. They don't push unnecessary services, in fact when I asked about certain simple services they advised they didn't believe it was needed. Is this shop perfect - No (who is?) Are they honest, try their best, and stand by their work - YES 110%!
Had a great experience today, had a leaky tire and the store was able to get me in without an appointment and fixed up right away. Counter staff was very courteous and helpful. Thanks Chris and Randy!!
Never go there again. They charged us for installing the parts that were not needed. The problem of the car is still same and they charged a huge amount from me for not fixing the car. Thanx for that
Very friendly professional and courteous. Got tyres on quickly ahead of time. Know their business very helpful with decision making process. Will certainly use in future
I thought I needed my transmission oil changed and serviced since I was having trouble shifting the gears.Andrew who looked at my car pointed out to the manager Marvin that the fluid was still clean and that the work really didn't need to be done at this time.They realized it was the shifter rod and fixed the problem.We all know that most places would have done the transmission service anyway and I would have been out about 200.00 .I want to thank them for their rare honesty these days and appreciate what they did.
Great and friendly service. Always go to these guys for any type of service. Very knowledgeable and skilled staff. Would definitely recommend.
This place has got excellent customer service with well trained professionals who have thorough knowledge of the make and service requirements. I would like to mention a special word of appreciation for Sohel and his team for their commendable customer service skills.
I got my snow tires here. Good price. 750 bucks.
Always a great experience. They go above and beyond to deliver excellent customer service. I totally recommend using this service.
Excellent service with great efficiency. Cliff and the rest of the crew managed to remove my all seasons and install my winters in under an hour on one of the busiest days for getting your winters done. Friendly and helpful service with a great price. I'll definitely be coming back in the future. Thank you guys!
Great experience here today!! I got a screw in my tire yesterday and noticed it late last night. I called first thing this morning and was told to bring it in and they would try to get to it by noon. I arrived around 8:15am. I thought I would need a new tire for the spring, as the rope plugs are meant as a temporary fix, but the gentleman who was helping me, informed me that they don't do the rope plug. Instead they do a proper patch from the inside which is much safer. The gentleman proceeded to show me what it looked like, explained the installation process, and assured me there was no need to order a new tire. Lots of other places would have taken advantage of the situation and tried to sell a tire to make more money. I really appreciate the honesty and integrity here. The tire was repaired in a very timely manner and the price for that type of repair was very reasonable. (Just over $40.00) I highly recommend this location for your tire needs. Also worth mentioning, there was only one technician on today, (Saturday) and he did a great job.
I have always had positive experiences with this particular location of AG&R. When I first moved to Ottawa 20 years ago, I went through many bad mechanics before chancing upon Luc & the boys at AG&R. I refer anyone and everyone to them. In all of my many experiences, they have always been friendly, professional, timely, price-competitive... and most important of all... HONEST. I give them 6 out of 5!
Way over priced a dealership is cheaper
Since moving to Ottawa about 15 years ago, I have dealt with literally dozens of dealerships and repair shops. Why so many? Because it was hard to find good service at rates you could actually trust. I finally found what I was looking for with these people. Staff are friendly, repairs are prompt and competent, prices seem reasonable and they don't feel inflated. Thanks Luke, et al.
Zain Wang was very informative and friendly. appreciate the service.
Great honest mechanic. They do good work fast.
Excellent service winter tires bought and put on great price highly recommend!
Bad experience overall. They charged me $80 for a tire change when I had the tires on the rims already. They pushed my appointment back an hour and then they didn't even call me when it was done, I had to call them.
Alex provided me with information on possible winter tires and gave me a recommendation based on my needs. He was very professional, helpful and knowledgeable. We were even able to keep my old rims which was a savings for me. The service appointment for installation was quick and efficient. Customer service is A+
Ross and his team are extremely knowledgeable and professional. They fixed a long term problem I was having at a very reasonable rate. I will definitely use them again and recommend them to all my friends!
Just got my tires changed. Arrived and took my car right in. Manager and staff very professional. I have used this shop in Kitchener for years and bought tires as well. Very knowledgeable and fair pricing. This is a trusted shop to give you good service at a fair price.
Lost my buisness... called once at 11 am and was asked to leave my contact info so they could return a quote for tires... 3 hours later i called back because i still havent heard from them.. was ensured the quote would be had by 5 and still nothing....all i wanted was a price for 4 tires for my car.. something other shops did in 2 mins over the phone... sorry will never call your company again
Customer service very poor ( got told to take business elsewhere with a smile on his face ) Friday May 5 . On a plus note they where actually open at 7:30
Zain is great. He answered all my questions making it easy to decide best option for my winter tires. His prices are very competitive and his service was excellent and right on time.
Marvin is the man! Very knowledgeable and very helpful!
Very great service by person sitting on front desk zain wang .Will recommend coming to this place very friendly service and repaired my car tyre within 30 mins.
I'm out of town and drove 600km to get to Ottawa the night before only to wake up the next morning to find one of the tires low on air, not knowing where to go, I saw the shop as I was driving to find somewhere to get air. After waiting a …
Active Green and Ross is my reliable go to Tire Store.
These guys are simply the best in every way. I've been to many shops over the years, and the quality of service I get here is first-rate. This isn't a one-visit review, I've brought cars here since 2010. I live 45 minutes away from this shop, that's how good they are. This shop is the definition of friendly, professional, thoughtful service.
As a first time customer I wasn’t sure what to expect but from the first phone call to leaving after the work was done, the service was truly fantastic!! Professional, timely, no pressure and well priced…I will be back for more than just a tire swap and an oil change in the future, that’s for sure!!
Friendly and knowledgeable professionals. Great service!
Normally I can't be bothered to post a review but my experience with Ross earlier this week was so positive I felt it necessary. From.the moment he answered the phone I felt I was dealing with someone who genuinely cared and proceeded to book an appointment for the following day to purchase and have installed new tires. I was not disappointed and will be back. Very competitive pricing and excellent service. Thanks Ross Joe Gutzman
Great customer service, great prices. I'll definitely be a returning customer.
My husband and I have dealt with Green and Ross for a couple of years now. Had tires put on a month ago on my car. I was running on a small spare tire and two other tires on the car were damaged. Costco would have been a week to deliver only after I ordered and paid for them upfront. Could not get them anywhere as they are an odd size. Green and Ross not only got them immediately, they went and picked them up, brought them in and had my car in that afternoon (within the hour), put them on in an hour and a half. Gave me a rebate form to fill out for $70.00 which I now have. Had to take the car back the next day to check one tire. No problem with the tire, checked all the rest and no problem. There have been other occasions for needed repairs on other family vehicles as well. Prompt and excellent service, pleasant, informative, helpful and understanding. Ashley, Cory and Ross have been wonderful to deal with. I would recommend this facility for car/SUV/truck maintenance anytime. MD'A (BTW pricing was exceptionally excellent)
Nice friendly people. Keep in you the loop as working on vehicles. Fair prices for great work.
Staff was incredibly friendly and rather than just charging me to swap my tires, they double checked and noticed I had winter tires already on my vehicle. They saved me a hundred bucks, an hour of time, and will be seeing a repeat customer from now on.
Always find them to be professional, friendly and take the time to talk to you about the services needed.
Great Automotive centre with amazing customer service. Above and beyond my expectations every time.
Excellent service and knowledgeable staff!
I have gone to this location the past two years for tire changes and to replace some light bulbs and each time I have received friendly 5/5 service at a good price. I would highly recommend!
Brad was patient and took the time to explain to me about why my car was not working. They also got me in last minute when I was stranded here in Kitchener. I will be telling all my friends to come here. Brad is a car genius. Thanks Brad and his technicians
Very friendly service
These guys are top notch! They get things done quickly and with high quality service. They have my highest recommendation and is great for the KW community!
Fast, professional and superb service. Thank you Ryan!
Went in for regular service and was made aware of some saftey issues that need to be fixed so after i agreed to the repair the work was performed quickly and correctly , i left with a smile and everyone was very helpful and honest ! Totally recommend this shop for anyone looking for repairs or general service on there car
Went here for a tire change and balance, great guys who got the job done efficiently.
I called Active Green + Ross about getting my Tucson in to have the winter tires put on. They were able to take me the very next day! The manager, Alex Kolonko, was extremely helpful and ever so polite! Within an hour they had installed my winter tires, loaded the summers in the back, checked my alignment, put on new wipers and I was on my way! Great job guys! I will definitely be back!
Very professional and timely service. I’ve gone there a number of times and highly recommend
Stuck to their timing, no additional costs,. courteous
Good service
This location was fantastic. They booked our oil change for the next day. The gentlemen in the store were friendly and accommodating. Service took about an hour, which was to be expected. Will be back for sure.
I got quoted somewhere else and these guys quoted me for LESS THAN HALF and did the job in the same day where as someone else said I would have to leave my car there for 3 days. Great guys I will always bring my car here.
Great experience and right there when I needed them
I was plesantly surprised with how helpful they were at this location. Great service, explained everything and they were quick to get my car back on the road again! Thank you!!!
Excellent service! We brought in our VW Jetta today for a possible brake problem. They had the car in right away and had it checked right away. They only do what needs to be done here, so you can trust their service! Our son is at Niagara College and this is now our go-to spot for emergency repairs or service while he is there. Recommended if you need an emergency repair or piece of mind while you child is away at College! Can't thank them enough for looking after us!!
Luc and Alex and their team are excellent. I have complete confidence that they will suggest any repairs necessary to keep my elderly Escape (2004) tuned up for safe driving. Highest recommendation!
I went in to get my winter tires put on. The service was very good, but after I got back in my car, they had forgotten to put the key for my wheel lock back in the car. This would have been an issue if I had not noticed before leaving. This was a little scary, especially since I had recently gotten a flat tire.
Great service and friendly
????
Great service! Will be back!
Time to do regular maintenance on vehicle, once again, the crew took care of my car with their usual caring, even noticed a nail in tire and took car of it for me. More than oil changes and tires at this location, they do everything to keep my car going and I feel safer on the road because of them. Thanks again guys!
Zero stars if I could. 3 months ago I took the car to get an oil change and an inspection to determine what I'll need to fix on the car down the road. When I got the quote it was 305$ for a tie-rod, oil change and alignment. Today I came in with the original quote and I understand it went up slightly because they also we're going to diagnosis the car to determine why the engine light was on. We'll 1 hour later the quote suddenly is $1,500!!!! They claim they didn't know my left tie rod was gone... Even though they said my right tie-rod was gone during inspection. My two ball joints, motor mount gone and transmission is leaking!!! I'm dumbfounded when they tried to explain this because why did I pay for them to inspect my car 3 months ago.. to save enough then they price gorge me to death. They told me they should have know that more issues were arising and not have everything break at same time but did nothing to help. I don't trust them when they give you a quote then nearly quadruple the price 1 hour after being in the shop. Unacceptable service and never will be back.
HUGE PLEASANT SURPRISE!!! I had TPMS sensor light due to another shop (Save on Tires at 1529 Eglinton Ave. W.) refusing to program my sensors after changing my tires. So I was driving into multiple shops at 6PM hoping someone can help and these guys did it for me. It was such a simple job to just scan the sensors and plug the scanner into the car. all done in 5 min and the guy didn't even charge me for it. I tried giving him a small tip but he even said to go drive around to make sure it's good before coming back and give it to him later. That's the kind of ACCOUNTABILITY that's so lacking nowadays at so many other shops and services. THANK YOU! AND I WILL BE COMING BACK for sure.
Not a good one.
Very helpful and kind staff. Keep up good work guys. ????????
Great group of guys quick service. Very professional I will 100% use them again for my automobile needs!!
Great service! Cliff always gives great advice and delivers excellent service and products! Definitely recommend!
Made an appointment and it was 30 minutes to change tires and I was the only car there. Jiffy lube has been much faster without an appointment.
Friendly staff, and thorough service. Very good about pricing unforeseen issues.
My morning started off horribly when I found a screw in my tire as I was leaving for a very busy work day (and an hour commute). I called another popular tire shop in Niagara and explained my situation and asked them to help me out (this was just before 8:00am - so I figured it might be easy to squeeze me in quickly to patch my tire before they got started with their scheduled services). The gentleman on the phone at this other place completely refused to help me out. I was so upset and didn't know where to go. I drove to Active Green + Ross on Lundy's Lane, and took a chance to see if they could help. This was my first time there. The gentleman at the desk (Ryan) was so kind. He calmly offered to squeeze me in after I explained my situation. The service was wonderful and they immediately took my vehicle in to fix the problem. They were so fast and helpful that I still made it to work on time! I will definitely be returning to Active Green+Ross for my services. Thank you SO much for quickly turning my day around!
The service was the best I have experienced since owning my 2015 Honda. I had previously been going to dealer but have used Active Green & Ross previously then this past Spring and on again on Friday to have snow tires and other …
I was impressed from the moment I talked to Jeff and equally impressed with the level of service knowledge and understanding. They delivered on all counts.
All around great service and great people.
We have taken our car here a few times. The service is outstanding. The prices can’t be beat. They are honest and willing to help however they can. I’m so glad I found this place. We have no plans of taking our car anywhere else!
Great service
I went here for their tire storage service. The staff I dealt with were very kind and everything was straightforward. Considering the other reviewers, I think I'll try these guys for my regular maintenance as well. I guess as a negative, one thing that worries me is the tight spaces for parking. When I went, the place was absolutely full where some cars had to be parked on the McDonald's side. You may have a hard time getting out of the shop's parking lot depending on where you parked.
Exceptional Service - I just had an unfortunate experience with some low tires that needed air and a possible flat. I can't say enough about the service that I received from Marvin. Given that my technical knowledge of cars is non-existent Marvin walked me through the tire issues I had and patiently explained what he needed to repair the tires on my Audi Q3. I can say his service and the service of the staff was outstanding and definitely not what I expected. I am from Toronto and frankly you wouldn't get this level of service excellence there. I was given confidence that Active Green and Ross would try to fix my problem and I was reassured that they would do whatever they could to rectify my issue. I was greatly relieved I ended up there in an emergency situation and will return again with any future car issues I experience. The staff was professional, approachable, friendly and very patient.
sohel and the crew were did an exceptional job on my tires they changed and rotated them very quickly and efficiently thank you guys i really appreciate it.
Horrable service with a side of waste of time. I'll never go back!
Schedule 5☆ Friendly 5☆ Found important failure point and fixed ☆ No waiting time 5☆ Very satisfied ????
Very pleased with their service, professionalism, cost & on time performance on my 2005 Corvette, thank you, Glen!
Generally I go to active green and Ross. Ryan and Marvin are always extremely polite and professional. They provide honest professional advice always. Today I took my car for some work and Marvin got the job done for free. Thank you for all of your good service. Javaid.
Tony was amazing! I was driving to the cottage when my check engine light came on. He immediately came out and starting checking the car and got me some oil. No more check engine light even a week later! Great service! Highly recommend!
I been going to this location since Peter took it over Either Peter or Cliff take care of my vehicles. They are more than honest with me and very professional I will continue to have my vehicles' service at this location I drive one hour each way to get there, it is worth the drive for me
Follow up to my AGR 381 review last year.....Nice to have an auto repair facility that I can completely trust ! Randy will take a detailed history of any issues/concerns you might have.... he can also solve mysteries if you can't give him all the details.... Chris and team will inspect your car and identify/confirm with a complete diagnosis along with pragmatic recommendations for work that may... (or may not !) be needed. I called Wednesday looking for tire recommendations for my "newest" old car (1964) as well as a list of real and perceived issues. On Saturday the recommended tires were installed and my list of concerns were addressed through repair, recommended next steps or confirmation that they were not an issue. All at a great price....Will continue to drive half hour to go to the shop I trust in St Catharines. Thanks guys at AGR 381 !!!
If you are looking for a place to take your car, you’ve found it. Stop looking and bring it to the Active Green and Ross on Bank Street. These guys get you the solution you desperately need, and they treat you right. After just getting a used (albeit beautiful) car, I had a bit of bad luck. The engine light was coming on, and the error code indicated that I needed a new coolant sensor. The folks at Active Green on Bank Street diagnosed that and fixed it up quickly. A few days after that, a totally unrelated problem manifested itself with one of my tires catching fire. It turned out that the brake calliper seized up. These guys were amazing in their response. They got the parts I needed in short order, and they cut me a great deal on the price as well (probably taking a huge cut on the fees for labour). Why? It was pretty obvious that they care about their customers. I am so grateful for their concern and their top notch services. I’m sure that you will be too if you put your car in their capable hands.
Always a great experience at this store, would not go anywhere else for automotive repairs. Always treated great and staff is awsome
Amazing service and timing, and pricing. I highly recommend.
Great service. Cliff at the front desk was very helpful.
Had an exhaust flange gasket replaced and the the fasteners replaced, or so I was told and charged for (receipt included charge for new studs and nuts). After a month the flange began leaking again and when I returned they said the studs had snapped in two. They said they would give me a discount and only charge me $80 to repair properly this time. When I got irritated and demanded to know why I was charged for studs and nuts that we're never put on my car the owner said "if it's that big of a deal I'll give you your $5 back for the studs and nuts". Completely unacceptable to charge for parts that are not used and lie about work that is done.
Professional team fast and reliable service
I have been going to this garage for a few years with my vehicles and must say that the service has been exceptional. They offer competitive prices and they have always provide options when faced with big repairs to keep costs down. Give them a try and see for yourself.
Fast friendly and precise service. I will definitely be back.
Great place and great people work there. Randy did a fantastic job of finding us a a great deal on a new set of summer tires and we're even getting money back on the the Rebate. Great work and thanks again !
Great Service. Helped me out last minute with a set of new tires. Made a call at 9 in the morning. By 330 in the afternoon I picked up my vehicle with a set of 4 new tires that are great for my vehicle. Thanks Ross and Team.
the guys in the store are very professional and also make me feel the family warmth. best of all, their 5-year protection on my new Uniroyal tyres(a sub-brand of Michelin?) can't be found elsewhere at a very fair price (35 in total). never worry about a flat tyre again! love their pro recommendation and overall service! thanks guys!
Excellent Job!!!
(Translated) The owner is very good, the price is reasonable, the speed is very fast, and the problem can be solved well. Recommend the best car repair shop in waterloo (Original) 老板人很好 价格合理 速度很快 很负责 大小问题都可以很好的解决 推荐这里 waterloo最好的修车行
Great prices, friendly staff, and no BS!!
Great service every time.
Highly recommend, and not just for tires. My 2012 Lincoln MKX has been serviced here for routine and cyclical maintenance since the extended warranty expired, and I cannot speak highly enough of the care and quality of workmanship and service. If you are on the lookout for a mechanic with integrity at an affordable price, you will not be disappointed.
Great service and craftsmanship! I'll definitely be sending business their way!
One of the best in St. Catharines
Brad and his team were great. Went above and beyond. Thank you.
Extremely customer focused shop, they were very accommodating to fit me in quickly for a much-needed repair even though they were fully booked, thorough explanation of what was required and the options to resolve, I would highly recommend this service centre to anyone considering a visit
Staff were professional and discussed the options with me beforehand. Only replaced what needed to be replaced and made recommendations regarding current tires on car needing replacing soon.
The gentlemen at this location were extremely courteous and professional. As a woman seeking service on my own it is nice to have a place that does not try to gouge you. As a matter of fact, I was convinced that I needed an alignment yet, when they put my Jeep on the machine they told me that it was perfect and did not need the alignment. I would sincerely recommend them.
Very honest and friendly people, I don't know much about cars but Sohel took the time to thoroughly explain what was wrong with my car and answered my questions, which I really appreciated. In the end it was a very fair price. Excellent service, I highly recommend this shop, they will definitely take care of you.
Great service and friendly welcoming people work there! Reasonable prices. Had 4 tires to unmount from rims and mount the tires on different rims. $106 for that. Tires were off my car. Good deal!
This shop was recommended to me by a family member. I found the staff to be courteous to deal with. They did not attempt to up sell me with items or service that was not required. The charges for tires, installation and wheel alignment were very reasonable. I will use this shop again.
Ryan Jeff and Scott are knowledgeable professionals, they can help you with all your auto needs

My go to shop. Great guys; quality work done fast.
Environment was safe, people wore masks, they were on time, and very friendly. I highly recommend!
I had Active Green and Ross install a set of coilovers on my older vehicle. Job was quoted for $800 as a worst case scenario and only ended up costing $500 with an alignment. Mike was very informative about the risks of performing this work on an older vehicle and I am glad that he was. Very happy now in hindsight that I pulled the trigger on this. Thanks to all the helpful and personable staff working there that helped me achieve such great ride quality!
Always speedy service and extremely friendly.
I have had good service every time I have used this garage. Even when I didn't have an appointment. My vehicle had the work completed when they said it would be done. When a problem arose they let me know immediately so I could make alternate arrangements . They are all friendly and pleasant to deal with.
One of my tires needed to be fixed and Randy was able to fit me in on short notice. Excellent service and value!
The guys r friendly and they do good work! Would definitely recommend!
Got a tire repair done. Nice they serviced me right away to get me back on the road for my delivery route
I highly recommend this location. 5+ stars! Keep up the great work!
Brad and team are amazingly fast at tire changes. I dropped of our first car and 45 minutes later max they called and indicated they were ready for our second car. They also provided us with brake information, including pictures, of our first car and recommended we get the dealer to service the rotors. How would we have known about this issue until it was too late possibly? This is a great team and they have never disappointed me or caused us any concern. They are our "go to" team for tires/rims and other non-warranty related issues. Give them a try!
Great service , my friend John Ruscitti was very please with the tires that he had installed .
Chris and Randy are amazing guys to work with!! We have been coming here for 12+ years now and we have never been disappointed. Work is always top notch, and we never have to wait for service! I trust no one else.
I visited the store today to do service for my son's car. Very impressed with the honest and fair customer service. Shadad was very knowledgeable. The mechanics in the shops were also quick. Definitely coming back!
Absolutely amazing customer service. These guys have gone above and beyond to help make servicing my car more convenient and hassle free. Thank you guys so much!!!
I ordered a set of winter tires on Wed, Nov 19. I was told by Mike that they would be delivered friday, monday at the latest, and they would be installed on the Monday, Nov 24th. It's Dec. 2 and they don't even know where the tires are. I called them on the monday evening, only to speak with someone who had no idea what they were doing. They informed me the tires had been ordered, but they had no idea where or when they would arrive... great, and really great that they didn't tell me they weren't going to arrive WHEN THEY SAID THEY WOULD. 2 weeks later and these FLAKES still have no idea where the tires are, I've called just about every day to ask... I'll be going to get my deposit back tomorrow, I can only assume they 'have no idea where the deposit went' too.
An unexpected car repair some 10 years ago which carried out beyond my expectations, has led to a a trusting relationship that is still going strong. Even though I live in Grimsby, I regularly make the drive to St. Catharines as I can't imagine taking our vehicles anywhere else! The Ontario Street St. Catharines Active Green+Ross should be held up as the poster example of how a car repair centre should be run. Keep up the great work Chris, Randy and team! I have been there so many times that I think I could name everyone (and the few guys who have departed), but at the risk of missing one, I will refrain from trying.
Great service and friendly staff
Nice people friendly and helpful
Staff are friendly and professional. Work is completed quickly and you are well informed of any problems and the progress of the repairs.
Service quick
