What our customers are saying?
When looking for an auto shop, the first thing you're I'm thinking is trust. At Les Dobos Auto Centre you not only get trust...you also get personality, sincerity and ease in communication. His shop has strong troubleshooting skills and gives recommendations specific to the age and mileage of the vehicle. Les is a seasoned pro and your car is in good hands with him.
Blair S.

Les Dobos Auto Center is a fully licensed breath of fresh air in an industry full of uncertainties.
Les was in constant communication and at no point was I left out of the decision making process regarding current repairs, future potential issues, costs, and completion timelines.
The auto center business operates on the fundamental values of honesty, trust and customer satisfaction.
Les and his team delivers in a way of unmatched professionalism that can be challenging to find in our modern society.
I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of auto repair or maintenance, and will be a returning customer should the future need arise.

Today was my second visit to Les Dobos Automotive. Once again I left his shop with wallet intact and no up selling. Being on a very restrictive budget and a meagre fixed income, Les and his staff were able to repair my older model car so that I could continue on my way far safer than when I arrived. Friendly, honest and knowledgeable, Les Dobos Automotive is the only shop I will attend for all my auto repairs and maintenance. Extremely helpful and honest.

I wanted to leave a recommendation for this shop after my recent experience. I had a broken windshield washer hose (never a good idea in Calgary) and since the car is European it was going to be a little more than a simple fix. Les and his people took about ½ an hour to find an innovative and effective solution for a problem wherein the original part is no longer available. It’s great to find that kind of “get it done” thinking in an industry that seems to have become, “let’s just throw it away and get a new one” oriented. During the same visit Les took the time to analyze and repair a frustrating little problem that we had been having with our power windows.
In this day and age of corporate everything it’s nice to know that places like Les’ still exist.
5 Star recommend from me.

Les Dobos Auto is amazing; every time they are professional and go out of their way to make sure all your needs are met. I am immunocompromised and they do contactless service, wear gloves and wipe everything down. When there was an issue with a part they replaced it immediately and for free. Highly recommend them for your vehicle service.

We have a very old car and that's the main reason why my husband and I are very hesitant to take our car to any autoshop because we're pretty sure our car screams "cash cow" all over it. So I had to look for an autoshop with a good review and I found Les' shop. I was pretty impressed with the 5 star review they have. The reviews aren't fake! This is the best shop really! Les won't offer anything that doesn't really "need" fixing just to get more bucks out of you. He is the most honest business person I've met. He really values his customers and you won't have to worry about anything at all. Thank you for taking care of our Ferdy Les Dobos Monterey Park Auto Centre Team!

Found this auto shop by pure coincidence and what a blessing that was ! Les charged me less than half of what most of other garage were charging me for a brake job. He is honest, hard working and just a wonderful human being in general ! Was totally worth the 30 minutes drive I did. Les and his team are absolutely wonderful ! Will be back for future car repairs

Reply from Les: Ladies and gentlemen of the reading public.
I was very distraught at the accusation so I got dressed on my Sunday day off and went to the shop to fire up the computer to print off the invoice. Regretfully, Tobie’s claim is unjustified as he was indeed only charged for what he approved to have repaired, nothing more is on the invoice and NO, rear brakes were NOT DONE due to scanner software unable to retract the rear parking brake system. These repairs were completed on
January 11, 2020. I’m definitely not the person that Tobie has expressed I am and have reached out to him via phone call and text message.
Hi Tobie thanks for letting me know of your concerns. When I get back to the shop on Monday I will bring up your invoice to scrutinize this information. Changing tires never includes a wheel alignment unless we see previous wear and recommend it or the client requests it.
As for the claim of not doing any work and being charged for it will be looked into but I can assure you that
“I WOULD NOT CHARGE A PENNY FOR ANYTHING NOT DONE” but in the interest of full investigation, I will be searching for your invoice first thing Monday morning. Please provide the Vin # for the vehicle as all repairs at my shop document the vin #. My goal is complete client satisfaction and in all fairness, I wished you would have stopped by for a person to person discussion.
Thanks, I will be in touch.
PS: I would rather lose the sale of “any invoice amount” than taking someone’s hard earned money.

Broke down in front of Les Dobos, needed 2 jugs of Antifreeze. The lady at front was very nice as was the older gentleman. He got me 2 jugs of NAPA premixed antifreeze which cost $20 each at NAPA but charged me $75 and said it is hard to find. A bit high of a mark up in my opinion but I got myself on the road again.

Reply from Les: Hi Barry, Thanks for the feedback I appreciate it. You are absolutely correct as far as the pricing is concerned. A business such as mine relies not only on labor sales but the marked up sales of products. Because I am not a parts store that an individual can “always” buy for a way better price at a dedicated parts supply store. I entered my price into a business pricing matrix formula and unfortunately, it produced the undesirable price. The bottle of coke at the Safeway will be $2.69 plus taxes deposit etc. At the theatre….it’s an amazing $5.00 ++ a 10 cent drink in a restaurant is all of a sudden $3.75 to the consumer even if he drinks only 1. It’s definitely something I have a hard time with too.
I am grateful for the business and the feedback and I will revisit the pricing matrix to see if I can provide what others may be looking for.
PS: When I said hard to find I did mention the “concentrate” was nowhere to be found amongst my suppliers, only the 50/50. I have even inquired with dealerships.
Have an awesome day, stay safe and happy for the holidays.

Had a great feeling about Les as soon as I met him. He considered the age and mileage of my truck and did not push for unnecessary repairs. He kept me posted and did his best to keep the charges for repairs low. My truck needed quite a bit of work and now runs and feels awesome. I will not go anywhere else. The search for a trustworthy shop is over. I will be recommending his shop to everyone.

Les is a very professional business owner, honest and a great guy to deal with. As a contractor (MV Painting Inc) when things are busy I don't have much time available to wait for my van to be back in the roads, they are fast. His staff is well trained and they don't over sell you things that you have no need for. Competitive prices and reliable.

There is a reason why this business has 5 star reviews. Les is a literal angel. He not only comes up front to deal with customers face to face and answers the phone calls that come in, he also communicates all through the work with pictures and videos, texts and phone calls. He’s honest, friendly, doesn’t do any work you don’t need and he’s very reasonably priced. Stop looking for a mechanic and go see Les. I promise it’s worth it. I still have much more work on my worthless car that turned out to be a bad deal for me in the end, but Les was so transparent about everything he’s found. He could be banking some serious bank off me if he really wanted but he gives honest recommendations and he’s already looking for the parts before you even reply so he can have answers ASAP. Seriously greatest service I’ve ever received from a mechanic. He’s running his business right and creating customers FOR LIFE instead of squeezing every penny out of one job. Like I said, he’s an angel. Stop wasting your time looking for a good mechanic because you already found one. Thanks, Les! I appreciate you.

I am grateful to have found Les and his team. After many years of dealing with another mechanic and many disappointments I had enough and took a chance on Les. His reviews were excellent so I thought I would write one myself.
I like the feeling of the small town mechanic shop. Les does greet you at the desk, answers any questions, calls when your vehicle is ready and I feel that I can trust him already.
Although I will miss the shuttle service at the other mechanic shop, I am looking to forward to building a new relationship with Les Dobos for many years to come.

All the best to you.

I am so thankful to have found Les Dobos Auto Center. Les and his staff are friendly and professional with clients and are knowledgeable, competent mechanics when it comes to diagnosing automotive problems. They went above and beyond keeping me informed every step of the way with the progress on my Ford Escape and I was pleasantly surprised with their fair pricing. I would highly recommend their automotive repair services.

Great business. Les is extremely friendly & always available; it's very nice to talk to the same person each time. He even sent me updates on the job as they were working, so I knew exactly what was going on. Prices quoted are always accurate, and work done is high quality. Would highly recommend.

Les is honestly the best and most honest auto repair shop I've been to and that says a lot as I've been to many. For all the people who feel a lot of apprehension when it comes to car repairs, bring your car over to Les and take comfort in knowing that you get quoted the right amount and with the job done perfectly.

I have been going to see Les and his team for a few years now for repair on the assortment of beater cars I've had. Les has always been honest and his prices, always fair. This shop won't rip you off, they'll go above and beyond every time to make sure your car is safe to drive. Whether big repairs or your regular maintenance, Les is your go to for top notch car service! His honesty and great customer service will bring me back again and again. Though usually the cars I bring in are more of a headache than your average vehicle, Les is always patient with me and understanding of circumstance, though i wouldn't blame them for cussing my car out when I leave! Haha. Thank you Les and your team for never failing to help me and for going above and beyond, every time. You've never failed to give me peace of mind.

Reply from Les: Hi wastedkermit !! Thanks for the awesome review on how things are dealt with here at my shop. You and every single client of mine worked hard for their money and deserve to be treated the same way “I” would want to be treated regardless of what is driven. The GOLDEN RULE is paramount. Thanks again.
Les
Ok. Les and his team are worth a trek across town and beyond. FINALLY, here is a mechanic I can trust implicitly. I have come to him a few times now on short notice. He fit me in right away, gave me very fair quotes, we’re extremely honest and professional, and did a thorough job. Whether you know cars or not, you are most definitely in good hands with Les. I highly recommend him!

My girlfriend suggested Les Dobos. I was looking for someone to help me with my Subaru A lot of places wont even touch a Subaru, except a dealership which is sky-rocket expensive! When I brought my precious car into Les, he was most anxious to help me. He guided me thru his process of what needed to be fixed, even texting me pictures of my problem. Now my car runs better than it has in years! They were very honest with the timeline to fix & was not expensive which I found refreshing! Les Dobos & team are my new best (car) friends!

Had a tire blow right as the first snow hit, phoned many places that were all very busy changing tires (which is completely understandable haha). Phoned Los Dobos who said that they were booked fully but would do their best to get my rubber on the rim if they had a chance to. They went above and beyond to squeeze me in and got my tire on the rim. When I went to pick up my tire they went the extra mile AGAIN and was able to put my tire on the car as well. They are very decently priced and very friendly people. I will most definitely be back. Thank you so much to the whole crew!

Just moved to Calgary and was looking for a mechanic to service my van. Can’t tell you how lucky I was to discover Les and his team of professionals. If you’re looking for a professional, friendly and very honest mechanic ( something not easily found these days) I would look no further than Les Dobos for your car and van repairs. Highly recommended, and worthy of 6 stars if that was an option.

Les and his team are incredibly patient and kind individuals. I came to Les a couple weeks ago after discovering my vehicle had a flat tire as I left work the evening before. Les got my vehicle in right away and kept me informed throughout the entire process. He was understanding of my budget with this unexpected expense and provided me with multiple options so I could make an educated decision for myself. They brought me into the shop so I could see exactly what was going on with my vehicle as well so that I could be fully informed in deciding what the best way to proceed would be. I’m very happy with the service I received at Les Dobos and will happily be recommending them to my friends and family in the area.

Last summer my AC wasn’t working and because I live close by I went to see him after I saw The AC repair sign he placed outside his shop, he checked my car and asked to come pick it up later that day, when I went to pick it up he said everything is good now so I paid him and left on a hot day but no cooling was coming out so I went back to tell him that the AC is not working he said to leave it for one more day then he called me and said he needs to replace major parts for about $350 that is after I paid him $285 and when I asked why he didn’t tell me before after he had it the whole day, then he said he wasn’t sure and immediately offered my money back except the initial cost, so I took my money and went to another mechanic who fixed it for while I was standing next to him at total cost of $190. I just felt this guy knew nothing about AC’s and was trying to rip me off. Find some body else to fis your auto this man is not honest.

Reply from Les: Hi Yasser, I’m sorry that you had a poor experience at my business. There truly are variables that come into play all the time with the ac system and I myself am not typically the individual who is servicing your vehicle. I must trust my techs on what they inform me of too. So once again, I do apologize and appreciate the feedback even though it was a poor one.
I however am an honest individual who does the best that he can for both the clients and my business and facility. Mistakes happen every day in every business and trade, we’re only human. I hope you enjoy your working ac system too. PS: it would be great to have you share your techs fix on your vehicle to ensure I never make this error again with anyone else. Have an awesome day and stay happy and safe.
PS: THAT WAS 2 YEARS AGO !!!

I dropped in and asked the front desk if someone was available to torque my tires for me. The receptionist was VERY friendly and sweet. The man who torqued my tires was fast and also friendly. I'd definitely come back here for other auto needs if needed.

Not sure about any kind of service review, I just called to see how much it would cost to have rear brake pads replaced, the receptionist took all our information , as well as vehicle information and they said they'd get back to us, NEVER HEARD FROM THEM EVER AGAIN, so we went to Midas on 32ave to ask how much, they had us in and out of there in just over an hour at a descent price... I'm guessing business must be good if the service we were looking for just gets blown off and forgotten, COMMUNICATION is very important when running a business, so in saying that I don't think I'll further any attempt in using this place for any service on our vehicle, how can a trust a mechanic shop that doesn't communicate with potential business...
