Upon a recommendation from a friend, in the fall of 2018 I went to Payless Automotive Centre to have a vehicle inspected which I was considering buying at the time. Jason and his staff at Payless did an extremely thorough analysis and told me what would need to be done, how much it would likely cost me, and what I should pay for the vehicle should I choose to buy it. This analysis was done at a fair and reasonable price. I did not purchase that car, but what I did get was a GREAT automotive repair shop where I can bring my vehicle to have all of its mechanical needs taken care of at a fair and reasonable price. Jason, Lucy and the entire staff are extremely professional and friendly, and any work I get done is performed fast and right the first time. No going back a day later to say it hasn't been fixed. Payless Automotive Centre is a hidden gem of a car repair shop tucked behind Memorial Avenue on Fort William Road across from Food Warehouse. It is well worth a visit for your ailing car's needs.

Replaced both lower and upper control arms and ball joints plus lower inner tie rod ends. 16 months and 8k later I had to re do them all again. They were so bad that they ruined my tires which will cost me another 2000 on top of the 2000 I had to pay Badanai to re do the job with OEM parts. I also paid less at the dealership for the OEM parts and not the junk Payless used. I can't believe how much this place costed me. I do not recommend and will never return.

Unnecessary repairs and overpriced. Problem didnt get fixed. The noise came back the next day. After my mechanic looked again, this was the issue of vacume line. They do have good communication and customer service, but the repairs are unnessary and expensive.
