What we work on

Full-service auto repair, one shop.

From routine maintenance to the kind of problem the dealership shrugs at, our team handles it in-house on McRae Drive. Appointments are recommended — give us a call and we'll book you in.

Oil & Fluid Service

Full-synthetic, blends, or conventional — plus coolant, brake fluid, transmission and differential top-ups on the same visit.

Brakes & Rotors

Pad and rotor replacement, brake fluid flush, calipers, and diagnosing that pulsing pedal or squeal you keep hearing.

Tires · Balance · Rotation

Seasonal changeovers, new tire installation on any rim size, wheel balancing, and TPMS sensor service.

Check Engine Diagnostics

Modern OBD-II scan tools and old-fashioned know-how. We find the actual cause, not just the code — and quote before we start.

Suspension & Steering

Struts, shocks, control arms, tie rods, ball joints, alignment referrals — the cure for that thump on Toronto potholes.

Battery · Starter · Alternator

No-start diagnosis, load testing, replacement, and reset — including modern stop/start and hybrid batteries.

Heating & Air Conditioning

A/C recharge, leak detection, compressor and condenser work, cabin filters and heater cores — for the summer and the winter you get in Toronto.

Pre-Purchase Inspection

Buying used? Bring it in before you sign. A thorough inspection so you know what you're actually buying — and what it'll need.

Regular Maintenance

Timing belts, spark plugs, filters, transmission service, and the manufacturer's schedule — so small things stay small.

The Shop

A garage the neighbourhood keeps coming back to.

M & S Auto Centre isn't a chain — it's a working East York garage on McRae Drive, tucked into Leaside's industrial pocket. What you get is a straight answer, real diagnostics, and the kind of relationship you have with a mechanic when they remember what tires you put on last fall.

  • We quote before we start. No surprise invoices, no "while we were in there."
  • Independent, family-run. The person you speak to on the phone is the person under your car.
  • Comfortable to visit. Accessible parking, a restroom, and a place to sit while we work.
  • All the cards. Debit, credit, and tap-to-pay accepted — pay the way you already do.

4.7out of 5
A 4.7 average across 154 Google reviews isn't a marketing number — it's what actual East York customers have said, one visit at a time. If a garage is going to have that many reviews and still be in the 4.7s, they're getting the important stuff right.
