Long Branch has one of the longest-standing residential communities in Etobicoke — families that have passed homes from generation to generation, along with newer townhome developments along Thirty Eighth St and Forty Second St. Long Branch drivers have been coming to AllCars Service for over 15 years, often on word-of-mouth from neighbours. The drive from Long Branch GO takes seven minutes along Lake Shore Blvd.

Why Long Branch drivers come to us
Long Branch = long-term customers
Most of our Long Branch customers have been with us 5+ years. A shop earns that kind of loyalty by not upselling, not inventing problems, and explaining everything before fixing. If you've been burned by chain shops or dealership service departments, we're different — licensed mechanics who show you the problem before the work begins.
Older homes, older cars, honest work
Long Branch has a higher-than-average share of vehicles 10+ years old — reliable cars kept running by owners who plan to drive them another 5 years. We specialize in keeping older vehicles safe and reliable without expensive "might as well" repairs. Honest diagnostic pricing, quality parts, and a 12-month warranty on everything we touch.
Short drive, big savings vs dealer service
Dealer service department prices are typically 30–50% higher than ours for the same work with the same OEM parts. For most Long Branch residents, the 10-minute drive to our shop saves hundreds per visit versus going back to a Toronto dealership.

Is it worth driving from Long Branch to your Fourteenth St shop?
Yes — 7 minutes east on Lake Shore Blvd, versus 15+ minutes to most Toronto dealerships and typically 30% less on any repair. Our customer-return rate shows it's worth the short drive.
Do you work on older vehicles common in Long Branch?
Absolutely. A significant portion of our mechanic work is on vehicles 8–15 years old. We prioritize keeping them safe and reliable — not pushing premature repairs.
Can I do Long Branch-to-AllCars drop-off for overnight work?
Yes. We have secure parking overnight and can arrange a rental through your insurance (for collision) or through our partner Discount Car Rentals (for other work). Call ahead to coordinate.
I've had bad experiences with chain mechanic shops. How are you different?
Family-run for 15+ years, the same mechanic likely works on your vehicle each visit, and we show you every problem before the work. We'll tell you 'that can wait' when it can wait, and 'fix that now' when safety is at stake. No commission-driven upsells.
Do you pick up vehicles from Long Branch?
For collision claims where the vehicle isn't drivable, we coordinate tow through your insurer (no cost to you). For mechanical pickups we can arrange occasionally — call and we'll see what's possible.
