This is the kind of place where your engine light has just come on. It's 5:00 pm on New Year's Eve. You pull up to the front door with a lot of worry. Everyone has obviously gone home, except Colin. But he's on his way out, too. Yet, instead of saying come back later he says, "Pull it into the bay. We better take a look." He diagnoses the problem in 30 minutes, gives some tips on how to manage it (a broken fan) until a proper fix can be done later. He relieves a lot of worry. I can say confidently that these guys love what they do and it shows.. Prospect Lake Auto sure beats going to a dealership where the "sales associates" don't know the difference between a rocker and a lifter but they will try to up-sell you an "engine flush" any chance they can get. Prospect Lake Auto has become my new favourite go-to shop. These guys are awesome.

Great people. They were able to fit in an appointment for the very next day of my call because my car needed urgent attention. Honest and proper workmanship.

What amazing service! Gary was fabulous! He managed to fit us in for a vehicle inspection with little notice. The vehicle inspection results were emailed to us so that we now have an electronic record for our files. The inspection report was extremely thorough. Ten out of ten guys! On one final note, the other guy in the office also told us that we should do an online search to see if there are any liens, accidents, etc. reported on the car. Of course, we folled his advice, but how decent of him.

Lost my brakes on my Ford F-350 coming down from Heartland and Prospect Lake took care of me and my daughter right away. Great service as they also did a follow-up inspection and fix on the pads months later!

Had a great experience at Prospect Lake Auto Care getting my front brake pads and rotators replaced! Mike was wonderful to work with and the service was reasonably priced. No hidden fee's and a transparent quote provided over the phone prior to receiving service. Mike even followed up via text the next day to ensure I was satisfied with the work completed. I highly recommend Prospect Lake Auto Care!!

I ended up taking my 2019 Porsche Macan to Prospect Lake Autocare after I received a ridiculously high quote to service my car from the dealer. Shannon was extremely efficient, booked me in for the following week and provided a courtesy car for the day. The service fee was reasonable and they also included a detailed inspection report. I paid a fraction of what the dealer quoted! Really happy with the experience and I’ll be returning for future service!

I pulled into this shop unexpectedly with no appointment on a random day with a very low back tire. I chatted with the receptionist who was the most friendly kind lady ever and got the guys in the shop to take a look almost immediately. They identified the issue as my valve stems and offered to replace them right on the spot for no cost I couldn’t be more thankful for this shop as I was battling with kal tire for a long time who ultimately led me to this problem 😅 this company had my back and got them fixed in not even a bit over 30 mins. They are truly reliable and i could only imagine they succeed with full effort in all their other services:) thank you prospect

Highly recommend, have had a few repairs done and they keep impressing me each time, right from the start they had great communication and work hard to get things done ASAP and done right. Honest and great pricing too. Thanks again to the team at Prospect for keeping us rolling 😁

I was recently referred to Prospect Lake Auto for diagnosis/repairs on my Jeep. I was told that “Mike” @ Prospect was the S. Island all-things-Jeep guy and I was not disappointed! Within seconds of looking under the hood he found the problem. He knew exactly where to look and explained to me in detail what was going on. I booked in to have the repairs done and my experience with Mike as well as Shannon (who takes care of all logistics… I’m thinking she basically runs the place lol) was exceptional. Highly skilled, organized, friendly and knowledgeable folks at Prospect Lake Auto. I highly recommend this place!
Kat Hinter Mar 3, 2024

The service here was wonderful! Came recommended from a friend. They were upfront about when they could get it in, they delivered within that time, helped me sort out transport, and fixed an the issues I had at a reasonable cost. The owner is local and the communication was great. They have loaner cars available (one wasn't available to me at the time) but they offered to work around the loaner car schedules. This is my new place to have my car serviced. Plus it's right across from a nice cafe.

Mike & the crew rescue me & my Fiat every time… reminding me that I am not driving a four wheel drive off-road vehicle….
Bill Milliken Aug 8, 2023
I had a flat tire emergency on vacation in Victoria and had to get to a ferry to get home. I called these guys and they took it in right away and I made my ferry. I am an auto shop owner so I know this was a sacrifice for them as they wouldn't have any real future relationship with me and a flat repair isn't exactly a big money maker. But they did it with a smile and their tech was very particular about wheel lug torque specs and tire pressures (again: I have inside knowledge). I don't write reviews but these guys deserve it. Character First - that's what they were. Thank you!
Damian Shaw Nov 11, 2023
My Bmw randomly stopped running in the middle of nowhere, i came across the only place for miles. Parts were hard to get but Mike gave me a loaner for a few days til it was fixed. Even the shops where ive bought brand new cars from didnt supply a car while mine was being fixed. More than happy with his price and his customer service was great
Brandy Buchan Nov 11, 2023
Great service, great people, professional work. Highly recommend!
Luke Davison Oct 10, 2023
Fantastic service that’s always friendly and dependable. I am not a car person and I feel very safe brining my vehicle to prospect lake auto because I know they are never going to over sell me services I don’t actually need. I really feel like family. Thank you!
