At PST Repair, we believe the best service starts with a straight answer. No upselling, no guesswork — just qualified technicians telling you what your vehicle actually needs.
Services That
Keep You Moving
From routine oil changes to more involved diagnostics, our team handles a broad range of vehicle work. Select a category below to learn more.
Engine Diagnostics
Modern vehicles communicate through onboard systems that store fault codes when something isn't right. Our technicians connect diagnostic tools, read those codes, and — more importantly — interpret what they mean in practical terms.
- OBD-II scan and code interpretation
- Live sensor data review
- Clear written summary of findings
- Repair options discussed before any work begins
Brake Repair & Service
Brakes degrade gradually, which means many drivers adjust without noticing reduced performance. We inspect the full braking system — pads, rotors, calipers, and fluid — and recommend only what genuinely needs attention.
- Pad thickness measurement
- Rotor condition and run-out check
- Brake fluid test and flush if needed
- Caliper inspection and hardware lubrication
Oil Change & Fluid Service
Regular oil changes remain one of the simplest and most effective ways to extend engine life. We use oil grades matched to your vehicle's spec, check fluid levels throughout, and take a quick look at key components while we're at it.
- Conventional, synthetic blend, or full synthetic options
- Filter replacement included
- Multi-point visual inspection
- Coolant, brake, and wiper fluid check
Electrical System Repair
Electrical faults can be tricky to pin down without the right tools and experience. We diagnose battery, alternator, starter, and wiring issues systematically — starting from the most likely cause and working outward.
- Battery load and charging system test
- Alternator output check
- Starter motor diagnosis
- Fuse, relay, and wiring inspection
Suspension & Steering
Poor suspension affects more than comfort — it impacts how your vehicle handles, steers, and brakes. We inspect shocks, struts, ball joints, tie rods, and steering components to help you understand what's worn and what can wait.
- Shock and strut condition check
- Ball joint and tie rod inspection
- Wheel alignment measurement
- Steering fluid and rack inspection
Seasonal Maintenance
Edmonton winters are hard on vehicles. Our seasonal check covers the systems most affected by temperature extremes — from battery performance in cold weather to coolant concentration and tire readiness. Better to prepare than react.
- Winter and summer tire swap
- Coolant antifreeze test and flush
- Cold-weather battery test
- Wiper blade and fluid check

Honest Feedback
From Real Drivers
"I've been taking my Civic here for three years. What I appreciate most is that they never try to talk me into work my car doesn't need. They explain what they found, give me options, and let me decide. That kind of transparency is genuinely hard to find."
"My check engine light came on the week before a road trip. PST got me in quickly, ran the diagnostics, and walked me through the issue clearly. It turned out to be a sensor — nothing critical. They fixed it same day and didn't pad the bill."
"Good shop. Friendly staff, fair pricing, and they don't keep you waiting for an hour just to tell you they haven't looked at your car yet. The work on my truck's suspension was solid — no issues six months later."
