Took my car here for an out of province inspection. Very friendly service, the process was efficient and I appreciated their communication throughout the inspection when I needed a wheel alignment. Will definitely return if I have any car issues in the future!

Highly recommend Read Automotive Ltd! They helped us out in a pinch when our engine light came on while road tripping back through to Alberta. They offered a clear explanation for the issue, before sourcing parts and completing the necessary repairs. The price was fair and we’re especially grateful they were able to help us get back on the road in a less than a couple hours. Thanks again for your services, Read Automotive Ltd. Much appreciated!

We chose Read Automotive because, although our business is based in Warman, we consider Martensville to be local, making vehicle drop-offs convenient. What stands out most is the excellent communication from Rob and his team. They're always clear about repair options and pricing upfront, keeping us in the loop and giving us the freedom to decide on non-safety related repairs. They also take the time to explain what's happening and the expected next steps. Impressively, we haven't needed to utilize the labor and parts warranty offered on their repairs, a testament to their quality work. Our fleet of six service vehicles, along with our personal ones, have all been handled by their capable hands. Overall, Read Automotive is a fantastic company to work with.

I highly recommend Read Automotive. I damaged the brake system on my 2023 Ram 1500 Sport when a strap wrapped around the rear wheel. The communication is absolutely amazing. I had the pleasure of dealing with Rob throughout the process and it was fantastic. They provided an honest and clear diagnosis, estimated arrival of parts, and solutions to back ordered parts, all with an easy to read and organized quote. To top it all off, they pulled a rabbit out of a hat, got a hold of the back ordered parts and got me back on the road in less than 48 hours, all for less than the estimated cost. Unfortunate events become easier to deal with when you bring your vehicle here. Thanks again!

Took in a honda civic in with a crankcase sensor issue. They ran a quick diagnostic for $200 and added that to the repair cost. Not happy. The sensor replacement work was done well but no need to be overcharged for a diognostic check. We wont be back.

the only place i ll go too. they have never been short of great. they go above and beyond for their clients. i ve had very bad encounters with other shops in town. this is the only one that is good to all, ESPECIALLY women. i love read and the whole team. when bringing in car for oil change they also give you a link to a website to see your car health. on this website it even has videos that explain the more mechanical aspects of their findings. they go so above and beyond for everyone they all deserve the world. GO HERE PLEASE!!!

Read is by far the best service from any shop in the area. i called them about my truck and they gave me multiple days to choose from. i left my keys in the drop off so it was ready as soon as they opened. I got a call shortly after they opened about the exact issues with my truck and my options, they didnt try to upsell me or screw me. they told me everything at face value, bearings were bad and gears were bad but not bad enough to need a replacement right now. every other shop i called about my issue told me it was a 2-3 day job and Read had it out and ready for pickup within the same day. the real cherry on top was i told them i was planning to sell my truck and since the differential still made noise (this is not their fault) they took pictures of the cause and sent them to me. the technician that worked on my vehicle also explained to me the situation and posted it in the bill/receipt for me to show to anyone that would question it when buying my vehicle if i could give 6/5 stars i would

Great place to have your vehicle repaired and maintained in the Martensville, Warman and North Saskatoon area. Lots of communication on what is happening with your vehicle and on the quoting of repair options, great value for the price of services given, written checklist report with pictures is very helpful information and completed expediate work to get to my vehicle back on the road as soon as possible. Be sure to give Rob and the team at Read Automotive a call if your reading this while looking for a reputable mechanic!

Unfortunately found myself on the side of the highway with sheared off lugs and an inability to get back on the road. Surprisingly Read was able to get me in right away and had my vehicle back on the road before lunch the next day. Staff were courteous, professional and expedient. I would recommend this place to anyone and will make the trip to get my vehicle serviced here in the future. Also, reminder to all if you have a 4x4 &/or a full size spare rotate all 5 tires every time you get your tires rotated!

The heater in my daughter s vehicle wasn t working and so I called Read Automotive. Even though we were a new customer, Trevor went out of his way to help. During our initial telephone conversation he advised that my daughter stop driving the vehicle immediately to ensure she didn t end up stranded. Even though his schedule was booked for next four days, Trevor suggested that we bring the car to the shop and he would try to look at if there was time. By the end of the day he had diagnosed the problem and found the necessary parts. He provided a quote and said he would get the work done as soon as possible. Turns out we only had to wait one day and the work was less than the original quote. The car is now running very well. I liked the report card that pointed out other maintenance issues that should be attended to in upcoming months. Very helpful for a new driver. The professional service and attention to detail was greatly appreciated. It is not often that I feel respected and valued as a customer. Read Automotive provided both. We will definitely be back and recommend this business to our friends and family members.

Having been messed about by a backyard mechanic and subsequently needing a new motor I was able to get the guys at Reads to fit all new timing gear and oil pump plus some other repairs for a fraction of the cost of going to a dealer , communication was concise and clear and carried out with total professionalism . I am a journeyman mechanic h/d and whilst I like to carry out my own repairs needed a trustworthy shop and found one at Reads .

I take my truck here on the recommendation of another customer.

I was overall very impressed with how quick and professional the service was. I love how work was documented, photographed, and a digital report is sent to me showing what the mechanics found while looking at my car. Lost one star because I was charged an extra $5 for a windshield washer fluid top up that I did not ask for. I sincerely appreciate everything these guys do to go above and beyond service wise but I do not appreciate paying for parts/service that wasnt requested, regardless of how big or small.

Great place to go! I only went for oil change but ended up getting a set of all weather tires. Trevor explained they different kinds of tires in great detail and I even got a great deal. My car was ready in record time and they even gave me a courtesy car that had winter tires on them. This is a great car clinic and I am definitely going back. I strongly recommend this place!

Once again impressed with their upfront and honest approach. Ive dealt with them in the past and hadnt had to go back for a while.

They even put on my winter tires for free and bagged my summers for me. Just great service and very refreshing to see!
