Our Customer Reviews
Came here for a safety inspection from out of town and after the first call with Neil we knew this was the right place. The service was great —they even offered a ride to and from our hotel while the car was being worked on. Each person we interacted with was friendly and helpful. Really kind, honest and professional business. We wish we had this shop in Ottawa! Would definitely recommend!

Bought a vehicle from out-of-province and needed an inspection done quick. Richard and Cory were very professional and courteous, were willing to fit me in and kept me informed of everything needed to be done. Very reasonable cost to boot. Couldn’t be more pleased with the service I got.

I had a great experience with Payless Automotive Maintenance. They accommodated me earlier, quickly diagnosed the tire vibration issue, and provided honest, reasonably priced service. The staff were welcoming, courteous, and even offered a hassle-free shuttle ride. The speedy turnaround and genuine professionalism here are rare compared to other repair shops. Highly recommend!

I wanted to give this place another 5 star review. As a single mom and a busy professional, they took my car in immediately and provided such care to my time, money and most importantly, the adjustments needed for me to drive a reliable and safe vehicle. The costs were explained in detail and I felt that they were honest with the repairs necessary to carry on in my daily responsibilities. I say all of this with authenticity and genuine confidence in this establishment. Thank you Payless for your service and support. My entire family will happily continue to be supported by your services for many years to come!! I’m a very happy customer!

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.

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.
