Eskimo Auto Repair Ltd

Auto repair services in Edmonton

Full mechanical service for cars, trucks, and SUVs — with direct access to genuine OEM parts through our sister company when it makes sense for your vehicle.

Brake Repair & Service

Brakes don't fix themselves, and Edmonton winters are hard on them. We inspect first, show you the measurements, and quote the work before a wrench touches your vehicle. If your brakes are fine, we'll tell you that too.

Engine Repair & Replacement

A bad engine doesn't automatically mean a new vehicle. We diagnose before we condemn — and then we can fix it every way there is: rebuild it in-house, install a remanufactured ATK engine, or fit a genuine OEM engine sourced through our sister company, Eskimo Auto and Truck Parts.

Engine Rebuild

A rebuild isn't a mystery box sent off to an anonymous machine shop. We tear your engine down, machine and measure it in-house, replace the wear parts, and correct the known weak points during assembly — so what goes back in is better than what came out.

Remanufactured Engines

When replacing the engine is the right call, a remanufactured engine is often the sweet spot: built back to factory spec or better, backed by a real warranty, and installed by the same shop that stands behind it. We supply and fit ATK remanufactured engines and handle the whole job.

Transmission Repair & Replacement

Transmission trouble comes with the second-scariest bill in auto repair — and the widest range of fixes. We diagnose what's actually wrong, then price every sensible option: repair, an in-house rebuild, or a genuine OEM transmission sourced through our sister company, Eskimo Auto and Truck Parts.

Vehicle Diagnostics & Check Engine Light

A trouble code tells you what the computer noticed, not what's broken. We test before we replace anything, because the most expensive repair is the one that didn't fix the problem.

Learn more →

Suspension & Steering

Edmonton potholes and washboard gravel are a suspension torture test. If your vehicle clunks over bumps, wanders on the highway, or chews through tires, we'll find the worn part and show it to you before we quote anything.

Oil Changes & Scheduled Maintenance

The cheapest repairs are the ones you never need. We do maintenance by the book — your owner's manual, not a laminated upsell menu — with the correct oil spec and a real inspection every visit.

Heating, Cooling & A/C

In Edmonton, a working heater is safety equipment — it's what keeps your windshield clear at -30. We fix the whole climate system: heat, engine cooling, and A/C, with the diagnosis done before the parts go on.

Car Window & Door Glass Replacement

Front door glass, rear door glass, vent glass, quarter glass and back windows — that's the glass work we do every week, most of it after a break-in or a hailstorm. We fit the right glass, fix the regulator behind it when that's what failed, and vacuum every shard out of the door. We also stock thousands of used panes at deep discounts from new. Windshields are the one thing we send elsewhere, and we say so up front.

Tune-Ups

Running rough, down on power, or drinking fuel? A proper tune-up — plugs, coils, filters and a real look at what the engine's doing — brings it back.

Learn more →

Out-of-Province Vehicle Inspection

If your vehicle was last registered outside Alberta, it needs a passed out-of-province inspection before you can put Alberta plates on it. Bring the registry form and the vehicle — we'll handle the rest, and if anything fails, we can fix it in-house.

Learn more →

Skid Steer Repair & Service

When a skid steer or track loader goes down, the whole job stops. We diagnose the hydraulics, drive, diesel, and controls before we condemn anything — then quote the repair in writing. All makes serviced, from Bobcat and Cat to John Deere, Case, and Kubota.

Learn more →

Bucket Truck & Picker Truck Repair

Your bucket truck or picker only earns when it's up and working. We fix the whole machine — diesel chassis, PTO and hydraulics, booms, outriggers and controls — and keep it serviceable between certified inspections. Straight diagnosis, and a written quote before we touch it.

Learn more →

Transmission Rebuild

A rebuild is the point where a transmission stops being a repair and starts being a decision. We tear the unit down in-house, replace the torque converter and flush the coolers so the rebuild actually lasts, and we tell you straight when a good used or remanufactured unit — or walking away from the vehicle — is the smarter money.

Learn more →

Wheel Alignment

Alignment is the cheapest way to protect the most expensive wear item on your vehicle — the tires. We measure all four wheels on the rack, hand you the before-and-after printout, and tell you straight if the real problem is a worn tie rod, a seized caliper, or a bad tire instead. If your alignment is already in spec, we'll show you the numbers and stop there.

Fleet Maintenance & Repair

Downtime costs more than the repair does. We keep small and mid-size Edmonton fleets running — light trucks, vans, service trucks, skid steers and picker trucks — with scheduled maintenance, priority scheduling for account units, and parts sourced fast through our sister company. Call and we'll set up an account.

Pre-Purchase Inspection

Before you hand over the money, let us put the vehicle on a hoist. We check the frame, the rust, the fluids, the codes and how it actually drives — then hand you a written report you can use to negotiate or to walk away. If it's a good vehicle, we'll tell you that too.

European & Import Auto Repair

European vehicles aren't harder to fix — they're less forgiving of shortcuts. We use the oil approvals, coolants and parts your BMW, Mercedes, Audi, VW or Volvo actually calls for, diagnose at module level instead of guessing, and quote in writing before we start. If your car genuinely needs the dealer's proprietary programming, we'll tell you that instead of taking your money.

Learn more →

BMW Repair

BMW builds a good car with a short list of very specific weak points, and most of what rolls in here is on that list: N20 timing chain guides, oil filter housing and valve cover gaskets on the N54 and N55, electric water pumps, VANOS solenoids and cooling system plastic that our winters age fast. We scan at module level, tell you which of those your car actually has, and quote in writing before anything comes apart. If your BMW genuinely needs dealer-only programming, we will tell you that instead of billing you to find out.

Learn more →

Mercedes-Benz Repair

Mercedes-Benz vehicles are well built and fussy about how they're serviced — the wrong oil approval, a 722.9 that never saw fresh fluid, or a battery installed without the data reset all show up later. We work on C-Class through S-Class, ML and GLE, and Sprinter vans, along with the M272, M276, M278 and OM642 engines behind most of them. If you want a Mercedes mechanic who diagnoses at module level, quotes in writing, and tells you when a job genuinely needs the dealer's own programming, that's us.

Audi & Volkswagen Repair

Audi and Volkswagen repair without dealer pricing. We know the EA888 chain tensioner rattle, the PCV failure that gets blamed on piston rings, the DSG service nobody told you about, and what short winter trips at -30 do to a TDI. We diagnose first, quote in writing, and if your car genuinely needs dealer-only programming we will say so instead of billing you to find out.

Learn more →

Diesel Truck Repair

We fix light-duty diesel pickups — Power Stroke, Duramax and Cummins — and we diagnose them before anyone starts condemning $4,000 parts. Heavy highway trucks belong in a heavy-duty shop and we will tell you so, and we do not hold a CVIP facility licence. Everything else gets tested, quoted in writing, and explained in plain language before we start.

Learn more →

Auto Electrical & No-Start Repair

When it's -34 and nothing happens when you turn the key, you want a straight answer, not a parts lottery. We test the battery, the connections, the starter and the charging system in that order, then quote the repair. If the battery is fine and a cable end is just corroded, that's what we'll tell you.

Learn more →

Exhaust & Muffler Repair

Loud under acceleration, rattling underneath, or smelling exhaust inside the cabin. We find the leak on the hoist, repair the rotten section instead of the whole system wherever we can, and we will not sell you a catalytic converter we haven't proven is dead.

Learn more →

Oil Change

An oil change is the cheapest insurance your engine will ever get — if it's the right oil. We pour the exact spec your manual calls for, look the vehicle over properly while it's up, and we believe in the oil we use enough to sell it: the same Liqui Moly range is in our online shop.

Learn more →

Winter Tire Changeover

Every October the first real snowfall catches half the city on all-seasons, and every shop in Edmonton books out overnight. Beat the rush: we swap, balance, check your TPMS, torque to spec, and tell you honestly whether your winters have another season in them.

Learn more →

Car Battery Replacement

A battery that cranked fine in October can be dead in a parking lot in January — cold cuts its power right when the engine demands the most. We load test before we sell you anything, write the numbers on the invoice, and if your battery is healthy we'll tell you to keep driving it.

Block Heater Installation & Repair

The difference between a -30 start with a block heater and without one is the difference between your engine turning over like a fall morning and grinding through syrup. We install block heaters in vehicles that never had one, and test and repair the heaters and cords that quietly quit years ago.
