Excellent little mechanic shop near Burnaby Height. Joe is kind and patience. Took his time to explain all the needed work. I came in with a flat tire and no other shop around can fit me in. Called Joe and he said it can be done same day and I will be set back about $20. I met Joe and after chatting with him I asked him to do some more work in…

Like always, Joe does what is needed, doesn't try to upsell you, and all at a good honest rate. I took one car in for a tune up and whatever was needed before a big trip expecting a big bill. Everything checked out fine, only changed the oil and topped up fluids. After 25 year I would never take a car anywhere else.

Joe; one of the rare men you can trust as a mechanic, as a woman who is no longer taken for things she doesn't need! 🙂

Great guy, great service. If you want that trusted feeling that's missing in a lot mechanic shops...go here.

Joe is an honest mechanic and he does a great job.

Who we are

About Silva Automotive Ltd

Silva Automotive is the kind of shop that's getting harder to find. Joe takes the time to explain what's wrong, what's not, and what can wait — so you leave knowing exactly what you paid for and why. Customers consistently say he won't sell you something you don't need, whether you're a first-timer or a regular he's known for 25 years. One reviewer came in with a flat tire no other shop could squeeze in that day — Joe got it done same day for $20. If you've ever felt talked down to or overcharged at a mechanic, this is the alternative. Come by or give Joe a call and see for yourself.
