Our story
Shoreline Automotive is owned by Michael and works out of Unit 6 at 234 Birmingham Street, a few minutes from the Gardiner and Lake Shore Blvd W. It's an independent shop, not a franchise and not a dealership, so the decisions about your car get made in the building it's parked in.
The work covers the everyday and the bigger jobs: brakes, safeties, exhaust and suspension, diagnostics and maintenance, through to collision and body repair. The shop is open seven days, with weekday evenings until 8 p.m., so a repair doesn't have to cost you a day off work.
What our licences mean for you
In Ontario, 310S, 310T and 310B are provincial Certificates of Qualification. Each one is earned through an apprenticeship and a provincial exam, so it tells you the person working on your car has been trained and tested for that kind of work.
- 310S, automotive service technician
- Your car, SUV or light truck: brakes, engines, steering, suspension, electrical and the safety inspection itself.
- 310T, truck and coach technician
- Heavier vehicles too, so bigger pickups and work trucks are in qualified hands.
- 310B, auto body and collision damage repairer
- Body work and collision repair by a certified body technician, not a general mechanic doing it on the side.
How we work
Nothing gets done until you say yes. Here's what that looks like.
-
We find the problem
Then we explain it in plain English, and show you the worn part if you'd like to see it.
-
You get a price for each item
What needs doing now, what can wait, and what's optional, each with its own price.
-
You decide, line by line
We do what you approve and nothing else.
-
No surprise add-ons
If we find something else along the way, we stop and call you before touching it.
