Suspension & Steering Shops in Ajax, ON

“HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND HENRY DESJARDINS AUTOMOTIVE. I honestly can't say enough good things about these guys. They're by-far the most fair, honest, reputable, efficient mechanic shop in the Durham Region (and likely beyond). These guys work with integrity.

I purchased a pre-owned car a few years back (Honda HRV). I was taking my car to the dealership for regular maintenance (oil changes) because they offered a free car wash (I figured BONUS). I took it in at the end of 2023 for an oil change and a recall. Honda also suggested that I get a bunch of other work done as per their maintenance schedule (brakes, diff fluid change, trans fluid change, etc.). I decided to forego the additional work at that time and take my car to my regular shop (Desjardin's Automotive). I didn't go there immediately either, I waited a few months (mid 2024). Spoke to Henry, I dropped the car at the shop, told him I needed a brake job. He proceeds to call me hours later to tell me they had removed my wheels and that all of my brakes were still in good working condition. Basically, "you don't need a brake job yet. Come back next year" AWESOME!! They could have just removed the brakes (as requested) and replaced them, but it wasn't necessary and they were honest about it. Told me that they knew I'd be back when the time was right. And they were right!
Well.....it's now October 2025, I'm thinking I should probably go get that brake job, they've got to be low and winter is coming. Better to be safe than sorry. I called Henry last week, told him I needed a brake job, dropped the car at the shop and waited for his phone call. Hours later, he calls. "We removed all of your wheels and you still don't need a brake job. You're at a 5 (mid-way). We're not changing them yet. We'll have another look next year." UNREAL!!! Honestly, UNREAL!! That's twice now that these guys have saved me unnecessary work. Two years ago Honda would have changed my brakes and charged me an arm and a leg to do it.

I don't think I have to tell you that a dealership is NOT the right place to be getting regular work done on your vehicles. BUT, if you're looking for an AWESOME mechanic/repair shop, these guys are where it's at!! I promise you will not be disappointed. Needless to say, I'll be going to see Henry & the folks at Desjardin's for as long as I own a vehicle.

THANK YOU TO THE TEAM AT HENRY DESJARDINS AUTOMOTIVE. Keep being AWESOME!!!”

“Absolutely wonderful people! I had a long drive ahead of me, when a surprise snow hit and my brake warning light came on - they got me right in, sorted me out, and did it for an incredibly reasonable price. Genuinely ethical people - and if you are ever stuck in a tough spot, I can't recommend them highly enough!”

“Absolutely amazing service! Had a tire puncture repaired and I couldn’t be happier. Hosen and Andrew are hands down the best in the business. They know exactly what they’re doing, work fast, and make sure everything is done properly and safely. Honest, professional, and super friendly guys. You can tell they truly care about their customers and take pride in their work. If you need any tire repair, this is the place to go. Highly recommended!”
