When our vehicle blew a head gasket roadside we called the nearest mechanic which was Grip Tire and Auto Coquitlam. The Service Manager Ben immediately helped us out and presented us with our options. We decided to have the repairs completed at Grip Tire and Auto. Throughout this process Ben and his team have been professional, transparent and fair. Of note, they always kept their word. I highly recommend Ben and his team.

I recently had significant repairs done on my truck. Grip Tire & Auto picked my truck up from my workplace and left a courtesy car for my use during the process. Ben and his amazing staff continue to offer the best customer service, constant communication, real-time diagnostics via email and transparency when it comes to cost and the priority of repairs. Prices are always a 'good surprise' and I appreciate both the honesty and integrity of this company. Highly recommend!

Just had a lovely first experience with Grip Tire Coquitlam. They accommodated me even though they were extremely busy! Fixed a leak in my tire + went above and beyond by detailing the inside of my car – very pleasantly surprised!!Definitely gained a new customer :)

These guys are so friendly, the service and experience was amazing. I put off anything to do with my car because I don't know much about it but even when I was calling for a quote and got my tire numbers wrong they were so polite and helpful. I was so excited to see my car being washed after and nearly cried when they vacuumed the front, my most hated task. I would totally recommend this place and will be back to do more tires. The nice chocolate at the end is definitely the cherry on top.. smart and thoughtful!

WOW! Ben and the Grip tire team truly believe in customer service. They had me in and out within 40 minutes with top notch professional service. It’s beautiful to see businesses like this that do their best to help customers! I’ve already told other people about my amazing experience. Get a GRIP folks and make sure you choose GRIP tire.

OH MY GOODNESS! I can't say enough positive about these guys. They went above and beyond what I was anticipating. Not only did they find a way to reduce the price by a couple hundred dollars, but when I picked up my car, it had been completely cleaned and vacuumed! Thank you SO MUCH!!!

My husband took our truck in for and oil change and they washed the car for us! They even vacuumed inside. I haven’t had service like this from any other auto shop. I think Grip really cares and goes the extra mile. Their overall inspection left us with peace of mind, knowing that there’s no more issues to worry about in the near future. If I could give them an extra star I would

Wow. This shop blew me away with their attention to detail and their customer service. They're a busy place, and it's no wonder why. I had a very good experience with both the management and the technicians. They went the extra mile to make sure I was taken care of and my truck was serviced properly. I had tires put on, a wheel alignment, and an oil change. I will be coming back here again. They gained a customer out of me.

I had issues with my tire pressure a few weeks ago due to a missing valve and needed to head out to Abbotsford soon. I went to Grip tire in Coquitlam nearby. Even though I showed up without an appointment, they were able to help me out very quickly! Ian was super helpful and was even kind enough to explain in simpler terms so that I could understand as well. They are professional and care about their customers. Would for sure recommend.

These guys are the best. They know their stuff and they are fast, thorough, and professional. Top marks!Here's a quick update: the management has changed, but the outstanding service remains. I recently had my truck in the shop for a mysterious ignition problem. Ben and his crew figured it out, made the necessary repairs in good time, and now my 2002 F-150 is running like new. The price of the repair was reasonable, and Ben did not try to upsell me. I appreciate that respect. When I picked up my truck, it was immaculately clean, inside and out. Jem Grip Auto has been taking good care of my truck for years, and I will continue to trust them to do a great job. I highly recommend Jem Grip Auto. They have continued the excellence I've come to expect. Six out of five stars!

I would recommed Grip Tire & Auto. I was having issues with a clogged catalytic converter. Since there were few aftermarket catalytic converters available Ben kindly offered me the use of one of there courtesy vehicles for a few days. Eventually the part was found and brought in. My car is functioning now properly and I really appreciated the kind help from Ben and all the technicians that worked on my car. Oh and the courtesy chocolate that they gave me once the work was complete was great.If you have issues with your vehicle trust Grip Tire & Auto to fix it and enjoy the kind service and chocolate. :-)

My wife and I have had our car in for servicing with Ben and his staff, on a couple of occasions. We have been very happy with the service and the knowledge of the staff. Ben has been very pleasant and has also been able to service our car on short notice. We also appreciated their honest approach to what work was truly needed and they didn't try to "upsell" us. We left their shop feeling very satisfied with the work done on our vehicle.

Took my vehicle there after a few failed attempts by other shops to fix my coolant leak and to diagnose a “knocking sound” when driving.Ben was able to squeeze me in last second and kept me up to date with everything that was found. My coolant leak was fixed and the “knocking sound” was determined to be a bent rim, which will be fixed through warranty. Ben and the rest of the staff, were courteous and professional throughout the whole process, and the company’s use of Uber to get me home after dropping off my vehicle was world-class. I’ll definitely be using this shop as my place of maintenance for my two vehicles from now on. Keep up the good work.

I'm a new customer where I had brought my vehicle in for an oil change only to have received a premier client welcome. I was so happy and comfortable with my experience that I brought my wife's car there. I have also referred my friends to them. You just know when you've come to a place with quality service and care about their experiences.

As someone who dosn't know much about cars, I feel very at ease bringing my car to this auto shop. I moved to the province last year and Andy was very kind to me, explaining everything I needed to do to get my car in shape and registered in the province. All the employees working here are very nice and explain everything well. I will always return to this shop as I trust them a lot. Highly recommended!!

I am so grateful that grip auto was recommended to me. This is a team of amazing humans. They took my car in under emergency circumstances and got it back up and running in a quick time frame. They are highly knowledgeable and extremely personable. This is the place that I will be bringing my car to from now on and since I bought a lemon I have a feeling we will see a lot of each other.

I’ve bought a couple sets of tires from Jen Grip Auto over the past 5 years. Friendly service, helpful with last minute emergencies.Today I got a full flat tire while I was near the shop, brought it in right away (on Friday afternoon of a summer holiday weekend). Went away for 2 hours and when I returned to pick up my car they had repaired the tire, washed and vacuumed my car and didn’t charge me a thing.I almost fell on the floor.Thank you so much! 😀

Great experience taking my car to see the team at Grip! Ben was really helpful, kept me fully informed throughout the process and what my options were. He and the team went above and beyond to fix the problem with the turbo rather than having to replace it. I’m really grateful for their expertise and kindness. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing repair work

Jem Auto has given me (by far!) the best service I’ve ever received from a mechanic shop. The staff are knowledgeable and honest, and the pricing is transparent. I especially appreciate the condition reports, which detail the results of their inspection of common maintenance items and their recommendations. I’ve always received sound advice and have never felt pressured. I have referred family and friends to Jem - their experiences have been equally positive. My mom recently called the shop and spoke to Ian, who spent the time to troubleshoot her concerns and reassure her. She was very impressed. Ben recently worked with me to fit a service appointment around my work schedule. When I thanked the team for their great work, they said “we really pride ourselves in providing exceptional customer service”. It certainly shows! I highly recommend Jem for all your automotive needs.

I was told by another company that I needed ball joint repair. The guys at Grip inspected my truck and said that this was not necessary. Instead, they found the problem to be defective tires. They installed two new tires and I was back on the road in a few hours. This was my first time using these guys but they were professional all they way. They even provided me with a courtesy vehicle. Very Happy 😃

They are fair with the prices and even saved me some dollars on the overall bill when some unexpected issues needed to be addressed. I've always felt treated well by Ian, Andy, and Doug, and I'm sure by the others that work there too, I just don't know all of their names. Great place to take your car for service!

The folks at Jem Grip Auto Tire are fair and honest. Always do their best to inform me on maintenance of my vehicles. At my last oil change they caught a repair and recommended I go to the vehicle manufacturer to see if my vehicle warranty covered the repairs! They are dependable and care about their customers.

I must admit I am not knowledgeable when it comes to the intricacies of a car. I leave that up to JEM. This is why I rely on the knowledgeable efficiency and honest upfront way the JEM team have been servicing my cars. I have been bringing my vehicles for the past many years to them. I do not live in close proximity any longer to their shop, but the trip is worth it for my peace of mind. The Management and Technicians are very helpful and patient to explain what needs to be done with no hidden surprises.The next time you need your vehicle worked on - give JEM a call. You will not be disappointed.
