Tim’s Auto Tech Inc has been a dependable presence in Burnaby since 1998, known for practical, honest vehicle repairs and a focus on keeping people safe on the road. They specialise in Asian and European makes, and their shop’s layout (2,400 square feet with three service bays and a dedicated diagnostic room) lets them work efficiently without rushing jobs. If you need a mechanic who knows Hondas, Toyotas, Volkswagens or BMWs, this is the kind of place I’d send a neighbour.

They handle everything from scheduled maintenance to complex repairs. Expect oil changes with OEM-grade filters, timing belt and water pump replacements, transmission service including fluid exchange for both automatic and DSG systems, brake jobs with rotor resurfacing, and air conditioning recharges using R134a. Their diagnostic suite includes OBD-II scanners, ABS and airbag test tools, and a smoke machine for leak detection, so they can pinpoint problems rather than guessing. They also install parts you can trust, such as Bosch starters, NGK spark plugs and Gates belts, and they provide a parts list and estimate before work begins.

The team is led by Tim, a Red Seal certified technician with more than 25 years of hands-on experience, plus two journeyman mechanics and an apprentice. Appointments are straightforward, turnaround times are posted, and they send photos of issues found so customers can see what’s needed. They offer shuttle service within Burnaby and loaner cars for longer repairs, and payment plans are available for larger invoices. Communication is plain and direct, not salesy.

People choose Tim’s because neighbours recommend them for honest pricing and thorough work. They support local charities and participate in the Metrotown community fair each year, and many cars come back on referral.
