Auto Repair
North Saanich, BC
Honest auto repair for North Saanich, Sidney and the Saanich Peninsula. Brakes, oil changes, diagnostics, transmissions and more, with a written estimate before any work and a digital inspection report with photos. Backed by our 12‑month / 20,000 km guarantee.
A Victoria Shop North Saanich Drivers Rely On
From Deep Cove and Dean Park to Sidney and the neighbourhoods around the airport, Peninsula drivers put a lot of kilometres on their vehicles. Highway commutes into town, rural roads and ferry lineups all add wear to brakes, suspension and cooling systems.
EDP Automotive has been repairing vehicles in Greater Victoria since 1966. Our shop on Burnside Rd E is a straight drive down the Pat Bay Highway, and every visit follows the same process: we inspect, show you what we found with photos, and give you a written estimate before any work begins.

What Our Multi-Point Inspection Covers
A multi-point inspection is a front-to-back check of the systems that keep your vehicle safe and reliable. It is how small problems get caught while they are still small.
Most drivers are well served by one at least once or twice a year, and whenever you are due for an oil change. It is also worth doing before a long road trip or after a rough season on back roads.
You See What We See
Every inspection comes with a digital report with photos, so you can look at the worn part yourself, understand what is urgent and what can wait, and decide with a written estimate in hand.
Fluids
Engine oil, coolant, brake, transmission and power steering fluid levels and condition.
Tires
Tread depth, pressure and uneven wear that points to alignment issues.
Brakes
Pad thickness, rotor condition, calipers and brake lines.
Battery
Charge, terminals and cable condition before it leaves you stranded.
Belts & Hoses
Cracks, fraying, soft spots and leaks on drive belts and radiator hoses.
Suspension & Steering
Shocks, struts, ball joints, tie rods and steering linkage.
Lights & Wipers
Headlights, brake lights, signals and wiper blades.
Filters & Exhaust
Engine and cabin air filters, plus leaks or damage in the exhaust system.

How to Choose a Mechanic You Can Trust
Whether you choose us or a shop closer to home, here is what separates an honest repair shop from one to avoid.

- Clear explanations in plain language, without pressure

Red Flags to Watch For
