Welcome to Payless Automotive Maintenance and Repairs

A big thank you to Neil for taking the time out of his busy schedule to switch my car to winter tires. He treated my car with such care and attention, which I truly appreciate. I never have to worry about the price or quality here—it’s always trustworthy. Without a doubt, this will be my go-to place for all my car care needs in the future.

Excellent customer service. Honest, trustworthy and genuine staff. We’ve brought our vehicle multiple times and they’ve fit us in promptly, diagnosed confidently and solved any issues. Any questions we’ve had, Jason takes the time to answer and ensures we are satisfied with the explanation. Attention to detail, and reliable on following up with us also. Highly recommend!

I recently brought my Jeep into Payless Auto regarding my HVAC Actuator. Jason, Neil and the rest of the team were absolutely amazing! Extremely knowledgeable and super friendly. I was quoted by Lakehead Motors in the “ballpark of $6000.00! Payless Auto fixed my HVAC System for under $350.00. Jason saved me over $5,500.00! This was my first time using this locally owned shop and I will continue to do so. Thank you again Jason, Neil and team for the awesome service and great prices.

Well this is my second time to use payless, it was not big job but a left turning light bulb has to be replaced. Friendly helpful guys, even he brew up the keurig coffee. It was same day service so I didnt get annoyed by left turn signalling. In Thunder Bay, before I went to many places to change oil etc but I like it here payless. It’s good place to check it out for your car 😺

Jason and his crew go above and beyond for costumer service . Little to no stress for me to get warranty work done. They took care of everything.

Upon a recommendation from a friend, in the fall of 2018 I went to Payless Automotive Centre to have a vehicle inspected which I was considering buying at the time. Jason and his staff at Payless did an extremely thorough analysis and told me what would need to be done, how much it would likely cost me, and what I should pay for the vehicle should I choose to buy it. This analysis was done at a fair and reasonable price. I did not purchase that car, but what I did get was a GREAT automotive repair shop where I can bring my vehicle to have all of its mechanical needs taken care of at a fair and reasonable price. Jason, Lucy and the entire staff are extremely professional and friendly, and any work I get done is performed fast and right the first time. No going back a day later to say it hasn't been fixed. Payless Automotive Centre is a hidden gem of a car repair shop tucked behind Memorial Avenue on Fort William Road across from Food Warehouse. It is well worth a visit for your ailing car's needs.

The name says it all. If you want reliable, quality car repairs and very reasonable rates, you can trust the owner Jason and his team of mechanics to deliver. I have been a Payless customer for 20 years.
