Honest repairs since 1990

The same name on the sign since 1990, and the same idea behind it. Find the real problem, explain it plainly, charge a fair price.

Started by
Don King in 1990

King’s Automotive started as Don King’s shop on Cyrville Road. The idea was simple: be the mechanic people trust, charge fairly, and do the job right the first time.

Over the years that meant a lot of loyal customers, a reputation for diagnostics, alignments and air conditioning, and even a King’s hockey team. When the shop outgrew Cyrville Road, it moved a few minutes away to a bigger, cleaner space at 1515 Lagan Way. The phone number never changed.

Who you will talk to

RobbieOffice manager

LukasLead technician

Runs the shop floor. The diagnostics, the alignments and the jobs that need someone who has seen it before.

NickTow Kings

Runs the towing side. Call or text him at (613) 276-4714 when a car will not make it in on its own.

How we work

  • We call before we fix

    You get the diagnosis and the price first. Nothing happens without your okay.

  • We tell you what can wait

    If your rear brakes have another year in them, we say so.

  • We show you

    Ask to see the old parts and we will walk you through why they came off.

  • We keep records

    Every visit goes on your car’s history, which helps the next repair and helps when you sell.
