Review from Alex K.

Wow, amazing attitude, OK prices, but definitely top of the line service.
I started out by having a coolant problem. I called the folks at Spadina Auto and the guy that answered suggested keeping an eye on it after I had topped it up and only to bring it in if the coolant level would keep going down, telling me how much it would cost to test the cooling system. Other places urged me to bring my vehicle in to do the test regardless.
Next, I had my car stuck in some mud and after going back and forth numerous times to get my car out of the spot it was stuck in, it was vibrating like crazy driving highway speeds. After trying to rinse my wheel wells, while it had improved quite a bit, the vibrations were still there. I called the folks at Spadina Auto and the man that answered said that I was on the right track trying to clean it and that it'd take about an hour worth of labour to repair it. It ended up taking a total of 1.35hrs worth of labour as there was a lot of mud they had to scrape off. They also checked all the components that could've caused the vibrating and balanced all my tires (which was what I suspected it needed, thinking I had cleaned it enough, however it turns out there was mud on the inside wells of the wheels which I would be unable to clean off of my steelies).
I was surprised that he didn't round up the labour up to the nearest half hour. I could tell that he had done everything possible to try and take care of my issues and had billed me for as little time as he could. As the cherry on top, they even stayed there past the end of their official closing time in order for me to be able to pick up my car the same day, which of course I wouldn't have expected and in my eyes is going well above and beyond what I would've expected.
I am not at all surprised that at the time that I am writing this review, this shop has nothing but 5 star reviews. They are definitely not out there to get your money for work you don't need unlike most other shops I've been to, and I definitely trust them with my car which I always do my best to take care of as best I can :-) With that in mind, I'd definitely return to Spadina Auto Repair the next time I need work done on my car. -

Amazing customer service, Wayne will be completely honest with you and will never try to overprice you. I have been taking my car there for the past years and have been extremely satisfied with prices, timing and workmanship performed to my vehicle.
I made the stupid choice of going to Canadian Tire once and they were charging me $40 to change one tail light + wanted to charge me $340 because my engine light was on and this weird "part in the engine" had to be replaced. I then left and brought it to Wayne, he changed my light for $6 and fixed the "Engine check problem" for $60.
Totally recommended, including the new young guy who works there (I forget his name), very knowledgeable. Truly recommend this place to everyone. On several times he even waits for me afterhours to pick up my car. -

Disclaimer: I'm not a car expert and all I got was an oil change, but I'll definitely be coming back and will update my review accordingly.
I was helped by Wayne, the owner, and he was extremely friendly. I find other mechanics can have a tendency to talk to you like you're a moron (in fact, the mechanic next door did just this when I spoke to him about an oil change first) but Wayne was friendly through and through.
Wayne made it clear to me that they would do the oil change, and IF I WANTED, they would check for any other problems. I said I only wanted the oil change today as I had to leave for Oshawa soon, and that was that.
My car was done in a timely fashion and as the previous reviewer said, I did not feel ripped off or have any issues with the work.
Again, do keep in mind I just got an oil change, but for the price I paid and the vibe I got at the place, I'll certainly be coming back here. -

Don't have a car anymore (bike everywhere now), but when I had vehicles I took them to Spadina Auto. Always got great service, at a good price. Never felt ripped off, or had *any* issues with their work.
Wayne, the owner, is a trip. Worth it just for entertainment value ;)
