⚡ Servicing your car at an independent shop does not void your vehicle warranty — protected under Canadian consumer protection law.
By the Radman Auto Repair team, independent auto repair in Etobicoke since 1999 · Updated October 2026
We do not post a price list, because the honest price for a repair depends on your car and what is actually wrong with it. What we do promise is a clear process: we diagnose first, give you a written estimate, and never start or add work without your approval.
How it works: diagnose, then a written estimate, then your approval, then the repair. If we find anything else, we call you before doing it.
At a glance
- Written estimate: before any work starts
- Your approval: for every job, and for anything we find along the way
- Final bill: no more than 10% over a written estimate without your consent
- Old parts: returned on request
- A/C pressure & leak test: $135, not credited toward the repair
How Our Estimates Work
- Tell us what you notice noises, warning lights, when it happens; it speeds up diagnosis.
- Diagnosis we test to find the cause. If diagnosis has a cost, we tell you before we begin.
- Written estimate parts, labour and taxes, with what is urgent and what can wait.
- Your decision approve all of it, part of it, or none of it.
- Repair and update if we find something else, we call you before doing any extra work.
- Invoice matches what you approved, with parts and work listed for your records.
Why We Don’t Publish a Price List
The same “brake job” can mean pads only, pads and rotors, or seized calipers that need rebuilding. An A/C problem can be a leaking O-ring or a failed compressor. A posted price either covers the worst case, so most customers overpay, or it is a teaser followed by add-ons. We would rather look at your car and give you a real number.
Your Rights Under Ontario Law
- You are entitled to a written estimate before work begins.
- The final bill cannot exceed the estimate by more than 10% without your consent.
- You can ask for your replaced parts back.
- Repairs carry a warranty of at least 90 days or 5,000 km on parts and labour.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why don’t you post prices for every repair?
Because the same job can differ a lot between cars: the parts, the time and what we find once we look. A posted price is either padded to cover the worst case or followed by surprises. A diagnosis and a written estimate for your car is more honest.
Do you charge for a diagnosis?
Many problems need testing time to find the cause. If diagnosis is needed, we tell you what it costs before we start, and nothing is charged without your approval. The A/C pressure and leak test is $135 and is not credited toward the repair.
Can the final bill be higher than the estimate?
Not without your approval. Under Ontario’s Consumer Protection Act, the final bill cannot exceed a written estimate by more than 10 percent. If we find something else that needs work, we call you first.
Can I have my old parts back?
Yes. Ask when you drop off the car and we will return the parts we replace, except parts that must be returned to the supplier under a warranty or exchange program.
Are repairs guaranteed?
Yes. In Ontario, repairs carry a warranty on parts and labour of at least 90 days or 5,000 km, whichever comes first. Ask us about the warranty on the specific parts we install.
Can you match a quote from another shop?
Bring it in. We will compare what is actually included, the parts quality and the diagnosis behind it, and tell you honestly what we would recommend.
