Mike and Corry are the BEST. They never fail to be extremely helpful, fair and are always of service. I've been coming to Bourk's for almost 20 years and have never had a bad experience.

Great Service, knowledgeable team and fairly priced. If you are looking for a good independent car care, I'd highly recommend them.

I have now been dealing with Bourk's Complete Car Care on Hamilton for many years, after a recommendation from a friend; I have never regretted it. All of their personnel are friendly, but very competent and attentive to our needs, including sometimes advice on car issues that they would not themselves deal with. They are a garage reassuring to know. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

We brought our car for seasonal tire change and for inspection and oil change. Great service overall. I like the portal that shows the Vehicle Condition Report along with estimated cost.

We have trusted Bourk's with our car for years. We most recently ordered a headlamp to be installed on our Prius. Mike helped us navigate the ordering process online to help us save money on the part, and the experienced mechanics expertly installed it. We highly recommend Bourk's for their professionalism, expertise, and care.

This auto repair shop does great work on my car, is very transparent about what they can and cannot do and clearly communicates anticipated costs.

Work done quickly and expertly. Also a patient explanation of work done.

My tire had an air leak and needed to be fixed asap but I had to go into the office and couldn’t drop it off at my usual garage. I found this garage online and within 30 m I was dropping it off. From the time I called, arrived and to the time I left, all the staff were very welcoming and friendly. My car was ready within 1 h of dropping it off. I will definitely be returning.

We had a noise from the rear shock absorbers on a European Toyota Hilux and they were able to identify and repair it very quickly. Very efficient, thank you again !

Brought my car in for a safety certification and some repair work. Corrie was super helpful and responsive every step of the way—great communication and really made the whole process smooth. The work was done professionally and on time. Highly recommend if you’re looking for reliable, honest service!

The good folks at Bourks squeezed my car for an emergency repair even though they were fully booked. The work was great and the service was excellent!

PA Apr 3, 2025

I've been going to Bourk's for over a year now and I have to say that they are one of the most honest, highly skilled, and well-resourced garages I've ever been to. I occasionally get second opinions from other mechanics for work Bourk's has quoted and every time the second opinion matches Bourk's diagnosis and often Bourk's quote comes in lower than the second opinion. I highly recommend Bourk's for whatever vehicle you own.

Devlyn Apr 2, 2025

I've been bringing my car here for the last year. I've had good honest service and great explanations of the work done.

France Cyrenne Mar 6, 2025

Would recommend to anyone in the city looking for reliable and honest auto repairs. Always great service any time I go, and they’re upfront and honest about everything!

Laura Sarro Mar 5, 2025

Great work. Honest people. I would certainly return again when I need more work done on my vehicles.

Mark Millar Mar 1, 2025

Great service from the entire team. The mechanic had great knowledge and honest feedback.

Fair and honest. Voja

Vojislav Radonjic Dec 11, 2020

I've got nothing but good things to say about Bourk's. I have had my car in for three unrelated types of repairs in the past 2 months. The service advisors have explained things in detail. They even managed to salvage some parts - saying that they were still usable, just needed some minor clean-up, rather than needing replacement. Thus saving me money. I will keep going back and highly recommend.

Good Morning, While navigating the recent winter snow storm, I found myself stuck in driveway. While attempting to power my way out of it, I heard a clunk sound: not good. I needed to know what that was, so I first booked an inspection with my dealer just to cover my bases for an appointment. I contacted Bourk's Auto next and was given the opportunity to bring the car in right away before the rush. I brought it in within 20 minutes of the call and the mechanic put it up on the hoist and test drove it to see any issues. No issues, and the best thing, NO CHARGE. You can't beat that. Thank you Bourk's Auto, James

J Gomez Feb 14, 2025

Always pleased with the service at Bourk's.

mike moran Jan 31, 2025

Always great service and good people to deal with. Thank you

Jim Bourchier Jan 21, 2025

Bourk's has serviced our cars for 20-some years now. Their work has always been professional, thorough, and very good value. Staff members are also very personable and accessible. Most recently, they booked us in promptly for urgent & unexpected repairs. We will continue to take our car to Bourk's for service, and we have recommended Bourk's to friends and colleagues looking for a competent and trustworthy garage.

John Saxby Apr 26, 2016

Lost brakes over the weekend. Dropped vehicle off on Sunday with no appointment. Caliper was replaced, fixed the next day. Thanks again for the awesome turn around time!!

Lorne Critch Jan 11, 2025

Had my van serviced again by the team at Bourk's. Having to take my vehicle in to get work done always drives me crazy. Lucky for me all the professionals at this location calm me down. They listen, they solve problems, they offer honest advice, they never make you feel inferior. The work is always done in a reasonable time frame, the quality of work is excellent, and costs are competitive. I have never looked anywhere else since I found this gem of a repair shop a few years ago. Will always return here. Thank you.

Debbi M Dec 28, 2024

Thank you once again for the ultimate service! Love my new fancy rims and tires...I cannot say enough great things about all of you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, see you soon !

Kim Azulay Jul 26, 2024

I've been a satisfied customer for more than 45 years. And they were providing great service for many years before that. A business does not survive that long unless they know how to keep their customers happy.

David Raynes Dec 21, 2024

Happy with the service and the price. Very knowledgeable front counter staff who can walk you through, with as much detail and justification as you need, the work done and the reasons why.

Brad S. Dec 21, 2024

Great garage have been using them for years! Customer service professional, they never recommend anything that is not needed.

carl nigi Nov 30, 2024

It is great to have Bourk's in the neighbourhood. I have trusted the shop for over 20 years to maintain a variety of vehicles. The staff members are gracious, knowledgeable and respectful.
