Shane B.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I had a great experience with this shop. They took my vehicle in on a Friday and genuinely tried to have it ready the same day, which I really appreciated. Unfortunately, another defect was uncovered and prevented that from happening, so I was without the car for the weekend.

What really stood out was how they handled it.

Even though the situation wasn’t really their fault as they were working under a very tight timeline that they imposed on themselves — they still took full responsibility. They fixed the issue at no charge and even went above and beyond by including a free oil change.

That level of accountability and customer care says a lot. Things can happen anywhere, but how a business responds is what matters.

I’d absolutely recommend them and will not hesitate to return. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Response from the owner:Hi Shane,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review and for the 5 stars. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding while we worked on your 2014 Ford Escape through the unexpected issue. Our goal is always to take care of our customers the right way, and we’re glad we could make things right by handling the repair and including the oil change. Situations like this don’t happen often, but when they do, we believe accountability and transparency matter most. Thank you again for trusting us with your vehicle — we look forward to seeing you again and taking care of you in the future.

Highly recommend Crompton Brothers. Their service is top notch and I especially appreciate the detailed report they provide each time I bring my car in for servicing.

I went to this shop for a suspension replacement and had a much better experience than I’ve had at the dealership. They were professional, efficient, and even caught another issue the dealership missed, saving me future trouble. Everything was handled quickly, which saved me both time and money, something I really appreciate.

On top of that, the staff were super friendly. I highly recommend this place!

I travelled from Mission to go to Riaz and his wonderful team. Everyone is so friendly and happy at work. They stand on their integrity and genuine care for their customers. I would travel across the province to do business with Riaz. I am so grateful for the recommendation from a co-worker. 10/10.

Terry W.
I had a great service by the wonderful team at Crompton Brothers Automotive and will be bringing my car for regular servicing going forward. The recent service I received on June 30th was my first time and I wasn't used to the process. They were very patient with my questions and I particularly appreciate the report provided with photos, the phone call they provide to explain the report and the informed pricing provided before approving for repairs. I feel I am very well informed of my car's condition and the rationale for recommended repairs. Highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Hi Terry

We’re so glad your first visit went smoothly and that you felt supported throughout the process. Our team works hard to make sure every customer feels informed and confident about their vehicle's care, so it’s great to hear the report, photos, and follow-up call were helpful. We’re looking forward to seeing you again for future service—thanks for choosing Crompton Brothers Automotive!

Christopher W.
We have bringing our beloved 1996 Ford Campervan to Crompton Brothers for a few years now and they continue to provide exceptional work with friendly service time and time again. Not only are they equipped to handle our over-height, hi-top van, they have the expertise to manage working on late model vehicles. When you see a shop servicing fleet vehicles for our community's 'First Responders' you know its the best place to go.
Response from the owner:Sorry for late response Thank you Christopher for the review .. we are happy we have been able to help you with all your automotive needs please feel free to call us anytime
Chris C.
Quick and easy. Friendly front desk and crew. 🙏
Response from the owner:Hi Chris,
So glad to hear you had a good experience! Our team will be happy to know their friendliness made a difference. We appreciate your support and look forward to helping you again! 😊
R P.
My family's two cars have been serviced by Crompton Brothers Automotive for decades, and I have the highest praise for their work. Our cars are 25 and 30 years old, so the cars go in for repairs a few times per year. The care given by Crompton's is why the cars are still running so well.
Riaz and Derek are very knowledgeable, thorough in their work, and very honest. I cannot tell you how many times (including today, April 2025 with Derek) that they have said that there was no need for parts to be replaced, and that they just did some minor tweak at no charge to me. Honesty is their strong point, right up there with quality workmanship. As well, Tammy calmly manages the appointments and paperwork for this busy business. Everyone there is great!
Response from the owner:Hi R P!

We’re so glad to hear that our team has been able to keep your cars running smoothly all these years. It's always our goal to provide honest, reliable service, and it’s great to know that’s made a difference for you. We truly appreciate your continued trust in us, and we’re here for you anytime your cars need attention. Thanks again for sharing your experience with us!
Nirmal K.
Riaz and the team have helped me out so many times over the years. Always reliable, fair and friendly.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind words, Nirmal. We're always here to help, and it's great to know you've found us reliable and friendly. Looking forward to helping you again whenever you need us.
Rose H.
Riaz ,Tammy and the whole crew are wonderful to work with. Been going to them for years. Never disappointed with their work. Just glad that they are so close by. Keep up the good work Crompton Crew.
Response from the owner:Hi Rose,
Thanks so much for the kind words! We really appreciate your support over the years. It’s always a pleasure working with you, and we're glad to have you as a customer. We’ll keep doing our best to keep you happy!
Philipp M.
Derek is a terrific Mechanic. I took my car in as the "check engine" sign was on, but the reason was due to a loose gas cap that he identified with no charge. Always tough to find an honest mechanic, but Derek and Crompton Brothers can be trusted.
Response from the owner:Thanks so much for the awesome feedback! We’re glad Derek was able to help with the gas cap issue and save you the hassle. Honesty is key, and we’re happy to hear you trust us with your car. We’re always here to help!
Shauna B.
Riaz and Derrick, and gang are all wonderful here at crompton, work is always done to perfection and always treated great. My only wish is that they were open on Saturdays.
Response from the owner:Hey Shauna,
Thank you so much for the kind words—We really appreciate it! We're so glad to hear you've had a great experience with us. Thanks again for your support, and we look forward to seeing you next time!
Bruce M.
I have been going to Crompton's Automotive for nearly 25 yrs. Great customer service , professional and thorough in fixing any repairs, honest and completed in a timely manner.
Max K.
Absolutely amazing service! Very honest, friendly, and thorough. Excellent job at communicating what is wrong with my vehicle and what is required to fix it. Car is running better than ever!
Sim
Amazing service with amazing people! They fixed my tire in less that 15 mins and were friendly and courteous! A gem in the area!
Maren C.
It's great to find a shop that not only does good honest work, but are excellent at communicating and explaining all the work they are doing. I had a couple outstanding issues with my vehicle which they diagnosed right away and sent a full write up on with photos included. I also have 2 other family members who had similar good experiences, good shop all around.

I’ve been bringing my cars to Crompton Brothers for around three years now. They are always friendly and professional and timely and honest. Even though I live in Seattle now, I still wait until I visit Vancouver to do get my car maintained for anything more than an oil change. Highly recommended!
Gregorius Davelyn U.
Been here a couple of times and never disappointed. Derrick gave me a thorough explanation and suggestions about my car and they aren’t trying to charge me anything that unnecessary. Special shoutout to the owner as well, Amir helped me got more money than I expected when I tried to sell my car to other party.
Lou T.
Timely service, detailed analysis of the needed repair, high tech updates with video, a solution that didn't break the bank, expansive and in-depth follow-up, a shop-wide sense of humour. Happy customer.
Tyler M.
Honest, fair, and consistently communicative. ZERO HIDDEN CHARGES OR REPAIRS YOU DON’T NEED. Zero scam culture at this shop, unlike jiffy lube and all those other franchised based SCAMMER “mechanics”. Make the right choice; choose Crompton Brothers every time!
Marcelo M.
As usual, great service, honest and friendly.
Maryam C.
This shop comes highly recommended, and I can definitely see why! My usual mechanic books weeks in advance and I really needed to get my absolute lemon of work van (don't get a Dodge Grand Caravan unless you love wasting money on repairs) looked at as soon as possible. Tammy, who is very sweet and friendly, was able to schedule me in the next day. I spoke to Derek, who was very kind and patient with me. He explained the issue my vehicle has, and went over my extended warranty policy and even offered to speak to them for me. In the end we realized my warranty was expired due to mileage, and he told me matter of factly that the best course of action would be to trade my vehicle in for a more reliable make. Although it wasn't what I was hoping to hear, I'm very happy he was so honest with me. It built a lot of trust, and it gave me the push I needed to search for a new vehicle - which I then took to them for a pre purchase inspection the following week!

I'm very grateful that I came to this shop and I'll definitely be back.
Paul H.
I was advised by my brother to have a car pre purchase inspection on any car. Riaz’s team found an oil leak on the motor of the car during its inspected. The leak was not found by the dealer’s own 130 point inspection. So I didn’t buy that car. I brought another car in and they found 0 wrong and was happy as can be. Riaz, Derrick and team thanks for helping to purchase my new vehicle. I highly recommend Crompton Brothers.
Excellent, trustworthy and professional service so make note of their phone number.
