Sils Auto is based in Oakville and serves drivers across Oakville and nearby areas. If you’re commuting into Oakville or live nearby, you can still book service and we’ll help you plan drop-off and pickup around your schedule.
We service most makes and models, including domestic, import, and many luxury brands. If you’re unsure about a specific vehicle, send us your year/make/model and we’ll confirm service availability.
We provide a wide range of automotive maintenance and repair services, including diagnostics, brakes, tires, oil changes, steering and suspension, battery and charging systems, heating and A/C service, engine repairs, and more.
Yes. If your check engine light is on (or any warning light), we can run a diagnostic and explain what the codes mean, what’s urgent vs. what can wait, and the best repair options based on your vehicle and budget.
Diagnostic costs depend on the concern and how much testing is required. We’ll explain the diagnostic approach up front so you know what to expect before any work begins.
Yes. If you share your vehicle details and the issue you’re experiencing, we can often provide a ballpark range or a quote for common services. For complex issues, the most accurate estimate comes after an in-shop inspection or diagnostic.

Walk-ins may be possible depending on the day and workload, but appointments are best—especially for diagnostics and anything that requires parts ordering.
Timing depends on the service and parts availability. Maintenance items (like oil changes and many brake services) are often same-day. Diagnostics and larger repairs may take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline once we’ve assessed the vehicle.

Try to note when it happens (cold start, turning, braking, accelerating, bumps, highway speed). Share those details when you book—it helps us diagnose faster and more accurately.
We handle many engine-related repairs and diagnostics. For transmission concerns, we’ll diagnose the issue and recommend the best solution based on the vehicle, severity, and cost-effective options.
