Stop n Steer away from this place.
I went in order to get a safety completed on a vehicle I had recently purchased; I knew it wasn’t unlikely to expect a few repairs, but I was shocked when they presented the list.
Some of the items they informed me were in need of repair for my vehicle to pass a safety included a blower fan motor, serpentine belt, and front lower control arm.
These repairs seemed odd to me for a few reasons. First of all, the blower fan was functioning and from my research as long as it kept the glass from fogging and kept an unobstructed view then there was no concern. I had just driven the vehicle 15 hours without issue through storms and -20 temps…so I assumed that would suffice. This apparently is not the case, it “sounds like it was about to die” and must be replaced. Interesting.
The serpentine belt was also an interesting suggestion, as there was no noises or whining coming from the belt or pulleys, as well as no visible damage or slack in the belt.
Lastly, the front control arm and ball joint replacement seemed suspect as the vehicle had actually just had the drivers side lower control arm and ball joint replaced 4 days prior, with a front and rear alignment competed following. I specifically had the suspension checked over prior to driving the vehicle such a lengthy trip and had damaged components replaced. It seemed very odd to me that this was not an issue identified by the previous shop, and as it turned out would not be an issue found by the shop I went to after Stop n Steer.
Anyways, I had my safety done elsewhere and as expected I had to do a few small repairs but they were negligible in comparison to the absurd list produced by these folks. I would recommend you keep yourself and your vehicle away from this shop.

Passing through Thunderbay and had exhaust and etc issues with my motorhome. Called a bunch of mechanics, all full, and Chris was able to take us in just a couple days. He was a straight forward guy and was an amazing help! Great service and price. Motorhome running great thanks to Graham as well, lovely staff. Other clients were raving about them as well. Definitely recommend!

Amazing experience. Dealt with Chris yesterday. Ran diagnostics, fixed wiring issues as my car wouldnt start, did a full oil change, replaced burnt out light and replaced a power steering hose in about 3 hours. All of that for less than half of what it would have cost lakehead just to tell me what was wrong. Chris was amazing, the work was great, was done really fast and the pricing was amazing. Highly recommend them to anyone.
