Amazing team at TQ! It was a pleasure to work with Tony at the front desk!

“Awesome service and friendly people. Good honest mechanics are hard to find. If you are looking for 'The Best' in Auto Repair TQ Auto Care (waterloo) is the place to go. Caleb and Technician (Abrie) staff are knowledgeable, honest and fair. We could not take are cars any place else.”

Tony and his team are the best!! No matter the issue they are always friendly and fast. I recommend them for everything.. I was just in for my gas door cable failing. It was just the latch and that’s what they replaced said the cable was in great shape.. any other place would have just replaced it all and charged me more. Awesome job guys keep it up!!

I can’t say enough good things about this garage. Mechanics are friendly, efficient and hard working. Gill and Tony provide exceptional customer service that deserves to be recognized. Will definitely be returning. Thanks for going above and beyond. Just returned to total quartz again and had another 5 star experience. Tony is honest and friendly. He takes the time to explain exactly what needs to be done and why. He really makes me feel appreciated as a customer. Thank you Tony !

Tony helped me remove locking lugnuts that I lost the darn key to. I’m glad they are off!

Russ Chamberlain May 23, 2026

I've brought all 3 of my cars here over the last few years, all were given great service the issue was always fixed fast and at a great price. Super polite and very informative. I'll never bring my vehicles anywhere else. 10/5 stars.

Ethan Kreller May 21, 2026

Thanks for a tire change!

H H May 9, 2026

My bro Tony is the best adviser here. I had my brake system serviced and replaced there. If anything goes wrong, they will help you to fix it without charging you money. The price is fair and safe place to go.

My front bearing started grinding on the weekend before I was scheduled to leave Tuesday lunchtime for a road trip. My regular mechanic was booked solid, but suggested TQ. I went there Monday afternoon and Tony said, "It's busy but we'll squeak you in". Tuesday at 1:00 I picked up the car and was on my way. Thanks for getting me back on the road in time!

I have been taking my vehicles for service at Total Quartz for years, and all because of the quality work done, the appropriate cost, and especially the service and expertise provided by Tony! I followed him to this new location 😊 I highly recommend!

Andrea Nijhuis Apr 19, 2026

Been going to this location and the one by Laurier for years. It's them most trustworthy mechanic in town. Tony is my go to guy for anything related to cars, they are very honest and helpful with any questions. I recommend this place to all of my friends and family and they have had great experiences too.

William Boehmer Apr 16, 2026

I don't live in KW anymore, but I was visiting and had a few hours to kill. I was having an issue with my hood latch so I popped in. The brought my car in right away and had me fixed in no time. The service was amazing. Im an out-of-tower now but I will definitely travell back to give these guys my service in the future.

Kurt Popp Apr 11, 2026

Tony is a G and put my spare on for no extra charge <3

YardenFall Apr 9, 2026

Tony has been very accommodating. No hassle, give the keys, get it inspected, get the quote and leave the rest to their team.

junaid maranda Mar 31, 2026

Exceptal friendly service. I found Tony, very helpful and eager to help. The whole experience had a family like atmosphere relaxed, no pressure. Tony was very knowledgeable regarding our purchase, tires. We were able to leave the car there and less than an hour my car had 4 new tires at a great price with customer service that went above and beyond. I will definitely recommend friends, family and anyone who needs tires to go there. A very stress free experience all in one day. Sincerely Linda

LINDA WHITTAKER Mar 31, 2026

I recently took my car to TQ to deal with a leaky tire. They were able to have a look immediately and did the repair on the spot. Not only are they really efficient and competitively priced, but they are so kind! I’ve always felt like I can trust this team. I will go to this place first every time. King St. North location (across from Home Depot).

K D Mar 31, 2026

Best service by far. Go out their way to assist you, no hassles just great service. Highly recommended shop. Thumbs up to Tristan and Caleb...and of course the workshop crew.

Yatheen Budhu Mar 27, 2026

Tony is the MAN !!

Mike Haskins Mar 26, 2026

I brought my 2007 Honda CR-V to TQ Auto Care on King St for an oil change and fluid service, and the experience was exceptional. Tony is a true professional—kind, honest, and incredibly proactive. He actually gave me expert advice on things I was already worrying about but hadn't mentioned yet, like winter tire replacement and the requirements for moving a vehicle across the border. To top it off, Tony applied an in-store discount I didn't even know existed and gave me coupons for my next visit. The technician was incredibly thorough and did a "super job" looking over my older vehicle. It is hard to find this level of integrity and care in the industry. Highly recommended!

CS Park Mar 24, 2026

Awesome experience, Tony was super helpful and made the whole process of getting my headlights fixed easy. Definitely gonna come back here!

Jaleel Debs Mar 24, 2026

This review is for Tristen he is the reason I continue to come back to Total Quartz they need more guys like him he helps me every chance he gets he is a very good employee for this company and definitely takes care of the customers needs and he is a good example of what good customer service is

Talon Cisecki Mar 23, 2026

Great service in all areas.

Fatimakenrick Lam Mar 21, 2026

Came in today to get my car serviced and was greeted by Tony. He was well-informed and did an excellent job answering all of my questions, ensuring that everything I purchased was compatible with the vehicles I needed them for. He also brought to my attention that some factory-recommended servicing was due soon, which funnily enough, is something the Infiniti dealership has failed to do in the past... it was strictly informative, no upselling or pressuring to get anything done immediately -- I appreciate that kind of service. In general, all of my TQ Auto Care experiences have been great, all of the staff I've met across multiple locations are very friendly and willing to assist you. I'd recommend going there to anyone in Waterloo region

Steve Singh Mar 20, 2026

Great people great service. Professional Reasonable and fast. Recently started getting my VW Tiguan and Hyundai Elantra serviced here. Very reliable.

Niraj Prajapati Mar 20, 2026

Amazing service. Tony ( king/Northfield) is always very helpful. Tells me if an issue but doesn't push extra work, just makes me aware.

rob gingras Mar 16, 2026

Definitely your first choice to go for great service and quality work done with no appointment needed. I am very thankful to them providing me quality service when I needed without setting up an appointment. Thanks Tony and all team members. I highly recommend this place.

Salman Zafar Mar 15, 2026

Tony was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and helped with my concerns

David Cubillos Mar 10, 2026

Had a great experience with Tony. He was very helpful and got my tires done quickly. Will definitely come back.

KAY Mar 9, 2026

I don't write reviews often but Tony was fantastic and I had a great experience. I came in around opening on a Wednesday morning and was the only one in there at the time. It was about a 25 minute turnaround for a full synthetic oil change. Very pleased and will certainly be coming back.

Josh Rose Mar 4, 2026

I had an amazing experience with my repair. I haven’t ever had this such attentive care. I would definitely recommend this shop to anybody. Thank you!

Susan Hill Mar 1, 2026

Excellent customer service from Tony. It’s nice to go to a garage that knows exactly what is wrong when you go in and mention what is happening with my vehicle. My right blinker wasn’t working. Tony was able to bring my vehicle in right away and fix it. I will return for all my vehicle repairs.

Lisa Roenspiess Feb 25, 2026

This was my first time here and I am happy I drove the miles to visit here. Tony’s reception, explanation and services was awesome. He also found out one of my wipers is not so effective, he asked if I want it fixed and I gave the confirmation… I recommend TQcanAuto.

Chiamaka Maduegbunam Feb 18, 2026

The guys there are super super nice and actually work WITH you, not just for your money

Reese Bender Feb 10, 2026

Amazing team, highly recommend. I have gone to them for 5+ years with 0 complaints. They provide the care and courtesy I could never find elsewhere. Great people, great service. Try them once and you'll have a new go-to mechanic.

Cara Feb 10, 2026

Tony was AMAZING!!!! Great customer service.

Akua Kodua Feb 7, 2026

I’ve been coming to TQ Auto Care for many years, and Tony has been taking care of my cars since my very first one. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, honest, and always takes the time to explain things clearly, which I truly appreciate. I’ve always felt that he genuinely cares about both the car and the customer, not just the repair itself. It’s rare to find someone you can trust so consistently over the years — highly recommend Tony and the team at TQ.
