hi guys!
I just bought a car in not running condition with unknown service history. Carfax reviled only one possible source of information - Mantis service, but it being done long time ago - 2013
I do, understand , that it is a looooong shot, but is it possible to get the service information from Mantis?
thanks

If think if you give them a call and have the VIN handy, they might be able to pull up some old service records. They might not have it on their system in case they changed software or they say no. Never hurts to try.

There is Auguste in St Catharines, unfortunately he is getting old too but is a one man shop, and excellent. I live in Burlington, I call CAA and they take it to Auguste. Then I take the Go bus and local bus to get to his shop on Cushman road. Was happy every time he worked on mine. There is also Zorotech in Stoney Creek, never been there myself. As for Mantis I had the car there too and quite frankly can't complain, it was nothing major but was happy every time. Mantis is actually the closest and more convenient from my place.

I also live in Burlington so i get the issue completely...
Its good to hear that Mantis is sold to new owners then? With the old ownership I would not touch them with a wooden pole, they did a horrific job and I got really taken advantage by them. Cost me tens of thousands in repairs but thankfully its an old story now... still it hurts to even think about it.

I tried Zoro tech, took my 993 there a couple of times, the owner made some sarcastic remarks that I really did not need and were unprovoked so i never went back, nor intend to. In fairness they did a good job with the repair they did , so no complaints on that end.

Just to bad there is noone closer to trust and provide reasonable service around here. I have found Steve at Proserve in Burlington to be amazing for my old BMW. Reasonable fees and a true mechanic, not just a parts replacement guy.
