Nanaimo Auto Repair

Reliable, honest, fair, knowledgeable, straight forward, friendly, service and experience. This is exactly the kind of shop I was hoping to find after moving here. My vehicle is a regular customer, so I am glad to have found a good mechanic so soon!

My vehicle is approaching its mid life crisis; Ron is always able to work within my budget and get my car back into safe shape until I can bring it again. Really glad to find a good mechanic that is honest, and telling me I don't need certain things recommended by other shops. Helpful with courtesy rides. Friendly staff.

Ron and his staff were fantastic - they got us out of a jam on very short notice late on a Friday afternoon. We had traveled on the ferry from Horseshoe Bay to Nanaimo in our small RV, on our way up-island knowing we had a problem with either a wheel or brakes. Ron diagnosed that one wheel was about to come off as the lugs were loose and one was missing. As a replacement lug was not available in Nanaimo, Ron brilliantly jury-rigged a replacement and had us on our way in about an hour. As part of the shop's normal procedure, the hood was opened and the fluids checked, as well as the tire pressures checked. Great service! We were impressed with the shop, which was clean and bright with everything in its place. We highly recommend Mid-Island Automotive for regular maintenance and repairs. We live in Victoria. If we lived in Nanaimo our go-to would be Ron, his staff a his shop.

Thanks to Ron and his staff, my vehicle is now running sweetly, safe and reliable - in fact better than ever. Thanks It had been returned to me in the opposite condition from a totally inept, (or downright careless) dealership mechanic. From now on Mid Island Auto is my choice. Definitely 5 stars!!

Very honest staff. Communicate very well. Never do any work without speaking to you first. Comparable prices as other shops. Great warranty. Only place I go Thanks Ron and Staff

We were so happy to find Ron’s shop, Mid Island auto. We have complete confidence in his service and his work is guaranteed. That’s the way it is.

Super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful!

My car broke down while I was visiting the Island and the team at Mid Island Auto helped me diagnose the issue and worked with me to price out my options. When it ultimately didn’t make sense to repair the car (old car with engine trouble) they held it for me and helped with the handoff to a tow truck when I couldn’t be there in person. I basically brought in a car that was heading to the scrap yard, but they were super helpful, thorough and had great communication throughout an unfortunate situation. If I was living in Nanaimo I’d be back for sure!
