Auto Repair Near Bentley

Bentley residents have a full-service auto repair shop just 15 minutes away. Sylvan Lake AUTOPRO is a straight shot east on Highway 11A — no traffic, easy parking, and same-day service for most repairs.

Getting Here from Bentley

From Bentley, head east on Highway 11A toward Sylvan Lake. The drive is about 15 km and takes roughly 15 minutes — all highway with no stops until you reach town.

Our shop is at 1A Industrial Drive, Sylvan Lake, on the east side of town in the industrial area, right off Highway 11. You'll pass our shop before you even reach downtown.

If you're coming from the Gull Lake area, acreages along Highway 11A, or the Rainy Creek area, we're an easy drive with no city traffic to navigate.

Your Closest Full-Service Shop

Bentley is a small community without a full-service auto repair facility. For anything beyond basic maintenance, residents typically drive to Lacombe or Red Deer.

Sylvan Lake AUTOPRO is about the same distance as Lacombe and offers full diagnostic capabilities, licensed inspections (out-of-province, CVIP, insurance), and NAPA warranty coverage. Plus, you can combine your visit with whatever else you need to do in Sylvan Lake.

Services That Save You the Trip

Diagnostics & Check Engine Lights

Modern vehicles generate complex fault codes that require professional diagnostic equipment. We invest in current scan tools and factory-level software — when your check engine light comes on, we'll identify the actual problem.

Brake Service

From pad replacements to full brake system overhauls — rotors, calipers, lines, and fluid flushes. Gravel road driving is hard on brakes. If you're hearing grinding, get it checked.

Steering & Suspension

Rural driving means gravel roads and potholes. If your vehicle pulls to one side or you're feeling every bump in the road, your suspension components may need attention.

All Inspections

We're a licensed facility for out-of-province inspections, CVIP commercial inspections, insurance inspections, and pre-purchase inspections. One shop, all inspection types.

Electrical & A/C Service

Electrical diagnosis, battery and charging system testing, A/C recharge and leak repair. Services that require specialized equipment — we have it.

Oil Changes & Maintenance

We use Castrol synthetic oil and NAPA filters — products designed for vehicles that work hard. Rural and gravel road driving qualifies as severe-duty conditions.

About Bentley

Bentley is a small village in Lacombe County with a population of about 1,100. Situated between Sylvan Lake and Lacombe on Highway 11A, it's a quiet community with deep agricultural roots.

The area is popular with acreage owners who want rural living with easy access to larger centres. Gull Lake Provincial Park is just south of town, making Bentley a hub for lake-goers in the summer months.

We see plenty of vehicles from the Bentley area — trucks that haul trailers, SUVs that handle gravel roads, and family vehicles that do a bit of everything. We treat them all with the same attention to detail.
