About

Just one guy who likes fixing cars.

I'm Joseph Boisclair, a Red Seal certified mechanic in Winnipeg. I work a regular day job and take on side jobs out of my home garage on evenings and weekends to help people out and make a bit on the side.

I came up through Red River College, graduating with Honours in Automotive Technician in 2010, and earned my Interprovincial Red Seal in 2014. Since then I’ve been wrenching at independent shops around Winnipeg and picked up an A/C licence and Manitoba Safety Inspection authorization along the way.

This isn’t a business, it’s a side thing. I work my day job at a shop, and on evenings and weekends I take on jobs out of my home garage to help people out. I’ve got the tools and the training; you get a fair price and a real person to talk to.

And I’m not chained to the garage either. For a lot of smaller stuff, dead batteries, no-starts, quick diagnostics, I’ll just come to you. For the bigger jobs that need a hoist or an alignment rack, I’ve got after-hours access to a fully-equipped shop, so even the heavier work stays at the same friendly rate.

Electrical stuff is what I genuinely enjoy, intermittent shorts, weird draws, modules acting up, the kind of thing that makes other people throw up their hands. If your vehicle’s doing something strange, that’s the kind of puzzle I want to look at.

How I do things
Honest
If a job’s beyond what I can do at home, I’ll tell you straight and point you somewhere good.
Clear
You get a price before I start. No surprise charges at the end.
Properly trained
Red Seal, Red River College, Manitoba Safety, A/C licence, the real papers.
Personal
It’s just me. You deal with the same person from first message to keys back in your hand.
