I recently had my Jeep Grand Cherokee serviced at Simplicity Care Car on Merivale and I couldn't be more impressed with the work they did. I brought it in for an insurance claim repair, and not only did they handle that seamlessly, but they also replaced my tires, cleaned up the brakes, and addressed some other serious issues I didn’t even realize were there.The Jeep now runs as smoothly as the day I bought it. The attention to detail was outstanding, and they kept me updated throughout the entire process. Rick and his staff were friendly and professional, and they really went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect.I highly recommend Simplicity Car Care for any repairs or maintenance work—whether it’s insurance-related or just routine service. They’ve earned my trust, and I'll definitely be returning for future needs!

I am in a very happy place dealing with Rick B, the manager at Simplicity Car Care Ottawa Airport. Rick B is like an Ottawa CSI for cars (perfect idea for TV series shows), giving his incredible skilled eyes paying attention to details, not to mentioned very caring personality and top it off of course leadership quality, to mention a few. Rick pointed out a lot of things to me and took me through steps by steps to take care of them. With his leadership and his team to follow his leads and direction, things are certainly in a much better place, I must admit my thankfulness to Rick and congratulations to his team. I highly recommend Rick's garage. Please ask for Rick and you will see by your own experience as I have! Thank you Rick!!!

The silver lining to recent collision repairs was dealing with Rick and his team at Simplicity Car Care. Not only did they do a great job (on more than one occasion!), but the manager Rick was patient, helpful and kind. Thanks again Simplicity - from a very grateful customer.

I had a wonderful experience with Rick and his team! I am very picky, as most people are, when choosing places to upkeep my car. When it came time to pick a place where insurance would cover, this place was in their list and I'm very happy I chose them. From the initial inspection and scheduling until picking my car up, everything was done seamlessly.Most importantly, Rick really seems to want a happy customer; guaranteeing his work. A company that really stands by their work and has great employees at all steps is vital to where I pick.I'll be back to try the detailing service, as my car was fixed AND came back nice and clean.Thank you!!

I'd like to give 5+ reviews for this store. Their staff are very professional and experienced and found my car's problem just in a couple of mins. The price is clear and reasonable. The manager is very friendly, and even though I dropped my car off at almost 5 pm, they still helped to repair it. The experience makes me feel that they are not only committed, but they're also with a warm heart and I believe this can develop their business to go a long distance.After trying many garages before, this is the one.Highly recommend⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Together with the labor rates FYIThe price really competitive, and you can trust the service 🙂

I recently had the pleasure of having my car repaired at Simplicity Ottawa airport, and I couldn't be happier with the service I received. After a previous body shop did a poor job on my car, I was hesitant about going through the process again. However, from the moment I walked into this shop, I knew I was in good hands.The end result was beyond my expectations. My car looks brand new, and you would never know it had any damage.The attention to detail and the level of craftsmanship displayed by Rick and Roy is second to none. They went above and beyond to ensure that I was completely satisfied with the repair. Their dedication to providing top-notch service is evident in the outstanding results.I highly recommend Simplicity Ottawa airport to anyone in need of car repairs. Rick and Roy, thank you for making this experience stress-free and for delivering such excellent work. I will definitely be returning for any future needs.

Was in a not at fault accident, simplicity took care of my car and also kept my insurance company in the loop so I didn’t have to. They kept me updated every step of the way and the car looks better than it did before the accident.

First time accident could have been very stressful but Simplicity made it easy. They were very professional. Our car looks like new and we would highly recommend them.

My biggest complaint with them is the lack of communication. I had my car with them 3 times and I have been keep going to the store in person almost 10 times and called about the same amount just to get an update on my car, just because they have NEVER called me when they said they would. I was also overcharged for the rentals I’ve had because they did not notify the insurance company of the fact that they couldn’t finish the repair on time. I had to check my bank statements and call my insurance to go through so much hassle just to prove that they indeed kept my car longer.The paint job they done was decent, however they had a hard time reinstalling my bumper for whatever reason and the corners keep popping out. I went back 3 times to have them fix it but it is starting to pop out again. I just can’t be bothered to go back a fourth time and waste more time and energy to get it fixed again.It might be just me that had this experience, but all things considered I think 2 stars is unbiased and justified.

Simplicity car care really does care about customer satisfaction and goes above and beyond. After my SUV was damaged by hail I was sure it would never look new again. Was I wrong!! Seeing is believing! Rick Bleackley and staff are professional and really do put their customers first. After hearing that they were dealing with a lot of vehicles with hail damage, figured my vehicle couldn’t possibly be completed on time. My vehicle was finished a day early! Troy greets all customers with a smile and also aims to please!! Highly recommend these hard working individuals and will definitely purchase a detailing package as a Christmas gift!!!!

If you ever have to take your car anywhere for repairs or for anything (knock on wood) I highly recommend coming to Simplicity. I’ve been to a lot of auto shops over the years, and nothing compares to the treatment my car and I received here. I had the absolute best experience at Simplicity from their, kind and happy receptionist, Beverly, to the manager Rick and everyone in between. My car was an absolute mess when I brought it to them. And I couldn’t believe how amazing my car was when I picked it up. but a lot of it was superficial damage. A lot of the damage was superficial and easy to see. But when they did a test drive they discovered more damage, which they couldn’t have possibly seen before. They were quick to get in contact with me and give me all the updates. they ordered the parts right away and kept me updated throughout the entire process making a quick and easy for to get me back in my car. Here there on your side want what’s best for you and work hard to make you happy. Rick will do everything absolutely can everything in his power and more to help you and make sure you have the best experience Possible. Getting your car fixed is never a happy time. It is always awful and having to deal with rentals and everything is tiring and causes headaches. But at simplicity they do everything they can to help ease this process get you in your car as soon as possible, they keep you informed and updated throughout the entire process. Whenever you call them, Beverly is always happy to help and answers the phone so happy and chipper. She brightens your day. You can get a hold of the manager super easily and they walk you through everything that is happening. Once my car was fixed, they noticed a little bit of the paint wasn’t perfect and I needed my car right away but they were kind enough to let me pick a day that works best for me to come back so they could make sure it was top quality work . Cars are expensive you will need them and without them life is 100 times harder. It’s Simplicity they make repairs and they make sure it’s top quality for your peace of mind. When you go to Simplicity, you can be 100% confident that your car is receiving top quality care and that everyone is on your side working to get you back in your car as quick as possible. Thank you so much to Rick, Beverly, and the entire team for all your help, patience, hard work and giving me back my car in the absolute best condition possible if you have to take your car anywhere definitely bring it to Rick and his team

This was a first time I have needed to have my car repaired. My front right side bumper got torn off by a piece of a metal box on the highway that i did not see, but hit. When I called my insurance they sent my car to simplicity car care to be repaired. My car was on hold for a while because of a single part that was on back order. (No fault of theirs), But they were in touch with me every 10 days to let me know what was happening. I was able to get my car back in a month. They are really nice people that explained everything that they did to my car and what they repaired. My car looks like it never happened - looks like it is brand new! I’m impressed with what they did. I would give this 10/10 on this one. I did miss my car greatly, but they took great care of my car while being repaired.

Someone had backed into my car. They took about 45 minutes to remove the bumper and inspect what happened under the hood at no cost. They answered my questions clearly and with expertise. I learned so much! They were friendly, courteous and professional. I got a quote sent to me the next day with no added surprises and no pressure on what I should do. I was able to make my decision with confidence because of what Rick and Vanja showed me in the shop. Truly pros! I recommend!!!

Feeling sorry that we trusted our insurance and left our vehicle to be repaired by this shop. Stayed for months with them and came with mechanical issues that we never had. My strong advice is to avoid them. I do not see them qualified for mechanical work, they could be a body shop but still wouldn’t trust them.

The job is amazing!!!Got my tailgate repainted 3 times by the dealership and they were not able to do any good. Simplicity repainted it and no one can tell there was some repair done. Car was professionally detailed before being returned to us. Got even delivered by the owner himself. More than satisfied and highly recommend.

First time visit but very impressed so far! Everyone is super friendly and I really appreciate that they took the time to help me listen to my car, explain the issues and didn't just "mansplain" things to me. They took the time to ensure I knew what was the problem with my car. Will be returning for sure!

We brought our car in to Simplicty after work this afternoon. Front left wheel was making noise. We were in and out in less than an hour. No more noise! This is the 3rd time we have used Simplicity and we have always been happy with their service and their prices! Highly recommend them.

I was fooled by the reviews, asked my insurance company to send my file to them. They are disorganized, forgot about my car for one month and half. And postponed my repair by 5 months. Very bad customer service, arrogant and untruthful management. Do not trust them, take everything in writing.

This has been my best experience so far in terms of automotive repairs. These guys really know what they’re doing 10/10 would recommend if you want a smooth repair process for your vehicle. The staff there are also very kind and professional!

My advice to you is that when choosing a repair shop under insurance policy, do NOT choose Simplicity Car Care, and choose someone else.My recent experience with the shop was very sad. My insurance company pointed Simplicity Car Care Ottawa for appraising my car involved in an accident. My experience with the shop has concluded that the shop simply work for their business partner. In my case, the Simplicity Car Care at Merivale RD only works for TD Insurance that gives businesses to them.

I’ve seen first hand how they do their job and you can tell they put a lot of time and effort into their work (great attention to detail). I wouldn’t doubt their capabilities. One they were extremely friendly, two they were honest, and lastly they did a great job with the window tinting (of course). If you want to feel valued this is definitely the company to go with. Honestly couldn’t be happier with my experience.

Staff were super friendly and they truly made you feel like a valued customer. The waiting area was modern and very clean. I dropped my car off in the morning and the services was done earlier than expected which was a pleasant surprise. My car looked like it had just rolled out of the dealership. Will definitely be using their services again.

Words cannot describe how amazing Rony and Roy are. They run an incredible shop and did an amazing job tuning, fixing, polishing and turning my 2013 Abarth into a pocket rocket. If you are looking for car specialists with integrity and skill - this is where you need to go.

- Application of- Ceramic Pro gold- ceramic Pro interior- paint correctionPOST FROM MY BMW X3 M40iNEW VISIT 23rd October 2020I have been an Auto Konnect client for many years. Thinking I couldn't possibility be more impressed with their service and professionalism, I stepped into their new location on Merivale Road and was completely blown away. The team installed TPMS sensors and winter tires as well as ceramic coating on my wheels. From the greeting at the front door, to the quality of the workmanship, and value for your money, they are the best in the business and would recommend Auto Konnect to others without hesitation.

I had a paint correction, detail and wax/sealant done last week on my Genesis G70. Roy did a great job communicating with me and the car came out looking better than new. Would definitely recommend their services and I'll be back in the future.
