Purchasing a used vehicle can be a great way to save money, but ensuring that you’re making a sound investment is essential. A pre-purchase inspection at Sil’s Auto Care Centre can help you make an informed decision by comprehensively evaluating the vehicle’s condition.
Our experienced and certified technicians will thoroughly examine the vehicle’s mechanical, electrical, and safety systems during a pre-purchase inspection. This includes a detailed examination of the engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, steering, electrical system, tires, and other components. We will also perform a road test to evaluate the vehicle’s handling and performance.
Our pre-purchase inspection aims to identify any potential issues that could impact the vehicle’s performance or safety. By identifying these issues, we can provide you with a detailed report that can help you negotiate the price of the vehicle or make an informed decision on whether or not to purchase it.
There are several benefits to getting a pre-purchase inspection before buying a used car:
Identifies hidden issues: A pre-purchase inspection can uncover any hidden problems or defects that the seller may not disclose. This could include issues with the engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, or other critical components.
Avoids costly repairs: By identifying potential issues early, a pre-purchase inspection can help you avoid costly repairs or maintenance that may be required shortly after purchasing the vehicle.
Provides peace of mind: Knowing the vehicle’s actual condition can provide peace of mind and help you make an informed decision when investing in a used car.
Negotiating power: If the inspection reveals any issues, you can use the report to negotiate the price of the vehicle or request that the seller address any necessary repairs before completing the sale.

A yr ago, I was tired of upselling and poor service by my Dealer and my wife also needed a trusted local mechanic so, based on a neighborhood website and word of mouth, we tried Syl’s Auto for the first time and have been 100% satisfied with the work and value; and, the customer service by the team of Carlo, Susan and Tommy has exceeded all expectations! As a bonus the shuttle service to and from home has been very dependable, efficient and friendly. We highly recommend Syl’s! ❤️

I had an unexpected issue with my car yesterday, after driving for a medical appt. from 2.5 hours away. I pulled into the shop driveway with no idea what was going on and cringing at what the repair could cost and would I be stranded here for days. Carlos and Sue, were quick to find a way to fit me in. Carlos test drove my car and then, explained exactly what would need to be done step by step to diagnose and fix the issue. I was out of there with the problem solved and they even gave my car a once over and sent me a report of items that mat need attention in the near future. I left feeling relieved and satisfied 100%. Sils auto is a gem for Mississauga. Honest, caring, and accommodating. Thanks Guys for getting me in/out and back out of the city so promptly.

I’m not much of a “car guy” and am always a bit intimidated when my car needs service. Dealt with Susan, who was very helpful and friendly. The problem I had ended up being serious … and was provided very affordable options. They provide a very detailed breakdown of service. I was very impressed I’ll never bring my car anywhere else.

I found Sil's during a quick Google search for a local shop. On the road, away from home, and having some steering issues with my truck, I needed some quick help. I was extremely lucky to find a shop that was willing get my truck on a hoist and have a quick look. Fortunately it was a quieter day at Sil's, a lull in the storm before tire change season. Tommy and Susan were great in the front office. Very professional, modern setup that says they take this work seriously. They assigned Corey to help have a look. After a test drive and a thorough look while on the hoist Corey give me a rundown of possible causes (it's an old truck, there's always many possibilities). I walked away knowing much more about the condition of my truck and what I should be aware of for the future. Many thinks to Corey for his attention to detail and candor. Much appreciated. Cost of the assessment was very fair, I was given excellent documentation to help my decision making. Sil's isn't exactly convenient for me location wise, but I have to say I'd seriously consider going out of my way so Corey and the team could do the job. Many thanks. David

I have been driving many years and this is the best place i have taken my car to. Professional, friendly, and detailed in their work. They let me know what needs to be done, what will need to be done, and what was still in good order. Sent me pictures of what they were doing. My car was cleaned on the inside, which was a bonus. Price wise, they were fair... no hidden surprises. I will be going to Sil's Auto Care for all of my car needs. I would rate 10/10.

Excellent service, best I have ever experienced in vehicle servicing. It used to be just 5 bays, but with the change of location it is much bigger. Thanks for the nice waiting room Carlo!
