Bowest Motors
Trusted Auto Repair in Calgary Since 1958

Our automotive repair shop is located at 8305 Bowness Rd. NW, Calgary, AB. Our hours are Monday - Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. We are closed on weekends and statutory holidays.

We typically book appointments 3-5 days in advance, with busier times in the summer and slower periods in January/February.

Even though your dealership might have said they’re the only ones who can perform any repairs or maintenance on your car, we’d be glad to make any tune-ups as well! Our experienced team is well-trained to work on new cars. Per the Automotive Industry Association of Canada's notice to consumers, we are fully qualified to service your vehicle.

You will have to take your new car to the dealership when you have an Owner’s Recall Notice or a legitimate warranty claim. If something is broken and it’s covered by warranty, the Manufacturer’s dealership is the only one who can replace it.

Yes! If you’d like to drop off your vehicle before 8:00 am, please park in an empty stall on our lot, or on 40th Ave beside the shop – please do not leave your vehicle in front of the bay doors.  Our automotive shop is committed to making drop-offs convenient for you.

Make sure you remove all valuables and lock them up. You can leave your key in the sign-in/key box on the front bay door wall and provide as much information as possible on the form provided. You must sign the authorization for us to do an initial inspection of your vehicle. (If you have booked your appointment online and already confirmed the estimate we sent to you, you do not need to complete the paper form at the key drop - simply leave your keys in the drop box and we’ll know what to do)

Please leave a phone number so we can contact you, confirm that we have received your vehicle, and understand what you want us to do with it. If you haven’t received a call about your vehicle, please give us a call around 9:30-10:00 am.

Here at Bowest Motors, we provide a variety of services for auto maintenance and repair in Calgary.

Inspections and Brake Maintenance: We recommend completing an inspection on your car at least once a year, or more if you are noticing something isn’t quite right. When it comes to brakes specifically, we complete brake checks and repairs to ensure your car’s braking system is in optimal condition.

Oil Changes: We complete conventional and synthetic oil changes, as well as specialty oil changes as needed. Check your owner’s manual to determine when you need your next oil change – that said, we can figure that out and help too.

Wheel and Tire Services: We offer many services to ensure your tires and wheel alignment are in top shape. These include tire rotations, seasonal tire changes, tire mounting and balancing, and any necessary repairs. Rotate your tires every 8,000 km – roughly around the amount of time between oil changes. For more information on when to complete each service, please visit our wheel and tires service page.

Diagnostics: The brain of your car: diagnostics. More often than not, we complete these services when your Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) – or check engine light – comes on. If your MIL is not turned on, but your car isn’t acting

To ensure the highest quality of service and maintain our expertise, we regret to inform you that we no longer accept vehicles that are more than 20 years old. As a trusted automotive shop, we appreciate your understanding and look forward to serving you with your more recent models.
