Hands-On Learning

As you see from the "Slide Show" we had a great evening last Monday at our first Hands-on "Maintenance Class". We had 22 students and even some parents who learned about different fluids, the importance of maintenance, instrument warning lamps, and even how to change a flat tire! Congratulations to everyone for 'Passing' the final exam. Our next class is scheduled for Wednesday December 9, 6:30pm. at our shop. Pre-registration and payment is all that's required to enroll- there are currently just 2spots left - Enrollment is available via our main website- (contact us) or just call-519-354-3070

Unique Vehicles We Work On

From the Porsche Twin Turbo, to the Classic Vette, it's neat to have an opportunity to service some not so common vehicles. The Peugeot 505 owner moved away, as did the Skoda air cooled rear engine owner. We look forward to servicing the the Infinity brands, and the pancake 4 Suburu's are unconventional. Though challenging the Mercedes 'S' type is full featured with its electro-pneumatic suspension. One of the most memorable was the Roll's Royce Silver Cloud- it was 1983 and I was YOUNG!

Hello Car Lovers of Ontario

I hope to keep you updated with the latest happenings in the auto industry.

More importantly we want your vehicle to be "Smooth Idling at Armstrong Macko".
