What we do

Our mechanical services

These are the main services offered at the shop. For anything else, get in touch and we will tell you quickly whether we can help.

Winter tire season is here

They are required in Quebec from December 1 to March 15. November slots fill up fast: book your installation while there are still some left.

Tires and wheels

OK Pneus dealer

Tires are the only part of your vehicle that touches the road. We advise you based on how and where you drive, your vehicle and your budget — without selling you more than you need.

  • Sales, installation and balancing
  • Seasonal changeover, summer and winter
  • Walk-in installation, depending on how busy the shop is
  • Puncture repair and wheel alignment on site

Air conditioning

The trade this shop was built on

The business is registered as Radiateur Laplante: cooling systems are what we know best. A system blowing lukewarm air did not lose its gas on its own — we find the leak first, then recharge.

  • Leak detection and pressure testing
  • Compressor and condenser inspection
  • Recharge and return to service
  • Useful in winter too: the A/C is what clears your windows

And everything else we do

General mechanics

Mechanical repairs and parts replacement on most makes of vehicle. We make a diagnosis, explain what needs doing, then proceed with your approval.

Oil change

Oil and filter change, fluid levels checked and a general look underneath. The simplest maintenance there is for extending the life of an engine.

Brakes

Brake system inspection, pads, rotors, calipers and brake fluid. A squeal or a soft pedal always deserves a quick look.

Wheel alignment

Steering pulling to one side, or tires wearing unevenly? A proper alignment improves handling and keeps your tires from wearing out early.

Suspension and steering

Shocks, springs, ball joints and steering components. Parts that matter for comfort and control on our winter roads.

Vehicle diagnostics

Check engine light, unusual noise, loss of power: we hook up the diagnostic equipment and look for the real cause before replacing anything.

Battery and electrical

Battery, alternator, starter, fuses and lighting tested. A quick test in the fall prevents a lot of nasty surprises in January.

Inspection and preventive maintenance

A methodical check of the vehicle’s wear points. Useful before a long trip, before winter, or before buying a used vehicle.

Tune-up

Spark plugs, filters and engine adjustments, to get back smooth running, a clean start and normal fuel consumption.

Exhaust

Mufflers, pipes, connectors and hangers. We take care of the noise, the vibration and the leaks in your exhaust system.

Note for the owner: the list and the descriptions above are suggestions. Send us your corrections (services offered or not, exact names, specialties) and the content will be adjusted.

Also on site

A car wash in the same place

After a fill-up or a service, drive away with a clean car. The Garage Laplante car wash sits on the same property as the station: you drive in one side and out the other, without leaving the premises.

A good wash is not only about looks. In winter it takes off the salt and calcium that attack the body and the rocker panels — the simplest way to protect what your vehicle is worth.

  • On the same property as the garage and the pumps
  • Separate entrance and exit, straight off the street
  • Pay at the terminal, on site
