Absolutely unacceptable service that has left my family in a precarious and stressful situation while driving across the country.
I came to Speedy Petey for what should have been a routine oil change. Instead, they rounded off the oil drain plug—a basic and fundamental task even the most junior mechanic should handle properly. Not only did they damage the bolt, they refused to take responsibility for it.
This isn’t just about a stripped bolt. This happened right before a long-awaited family reunion trip, where we’re driving from Ontario to rural British Columbia. After their “service,” our car began leaking oil—half a litre lost within a 30-minute drive. We had to scramble to find a shop to fix the issue while traveling, ruining the evening and casting a shadow over the entire reunion.
Now, we’re expected to drive all the way back to Ontario with a car we no longer trust—all because of this shop’s negligence. We’re talking about a long-distance, cross-country road trip with family members on board, now made risky and uncertain.
To be clear: their mistake caused mechanical damage, delayed our plans, cost us additional money to fix, and significantly affected our family experience. And still, no apology, no ownership, no compensation.
If you value your vehicle, your time, and your peace of mind—avoid this place at all costs. I will happily remove this review the moment the business takes responsibility for the damages they caused and makes it right. Until then, this review stays
