Serving Eckville Area
Auto Repair Near Eckville
Eckville residents don't have to drive to Red Deer for quality auto repair. Sylvan Lake AUTOPRO is just 20 minutes east on Highway 11 — a straight shot with no city traffic. Full-service repair, licensed inspections, and NAPA warranty coverage.
Getting Here from Eckville
From Eckville, head south on Highway 766 to Highway 11, then east toward Sylvan Lake. The drive is about 25 km and takes roughly 20 minutes — mostly highway with no stoplights 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 see us before you even hit downtown.
If you're coming from the Eckville trading area — Condor, Alhambra, Withrow, or the acreages along Highway 766 — add about 5–10 minutes to the drive. We're still closer and easier to get to than the big box shops in Red Deer.
Full-Service Auto Repair — No Need to Go to Red Deer
Red Deer means 45+ minutes, city traffic, and navigating to whichever shop you're trying to find. Sylvan Lake means 20 minutes on a highway you already know, a shop that's been here since 2006, and you're back home before lunch.
What We Handle That Saves You the Trip
Modern vehicles generate complex fault codes that require professional diagnostic equipment to interpret. We invest in current scan tools and factory-level software — not just basic code readers. When your check engine light comes on, we'll identify the actual problem, not just clear the code.
From pad replacements to full brake system overhauls — rotors, calipers, lines, and fluid flushes. If your vehicle pulls to one side or you're hearing grinding, get it looked at before it becomes a safety issue.
Highway 11 between Eckville and Sylvan Lake is well maintained, but if your daily driving includes range roads and gravel, your suspension components wear faster. Our Hunter HawkEye Elite alignment system measures to fractions of a degree.
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 diagnosis, battery and charging system testing, A/C recharge and leak repair. These are services that require specialized equipment — we have it.
We use Castrol synthetic oil and NAPA filters — products designed for vehicles that work hard. Rural driving qualifies as severe-duty conditions that benefit from premium products.
About Eckville
Eckville is a community with deep roots. Settled by Estonian and Finnish homesteaders in the early 1900s, the town moved to its current location in 1912 when the Canadian Northern Railway came through. Today, about 1,100 people call Eckville home, with a broader trading area of around 7,000 residents.
The local economy still centres on agriculture and oil and gas, which means a lot of trucks and work vehicles that need reliable maintenance. We see Eckville-area vehicles regularly — they tend to be trucks and SUVs that work for a living, and we treat them accordingly.
Eckville is also a gateway to the west country. People heading to or from Rocky Mountain House, Nordegg, and Abraham Lake on the David Thompson Highway pass right through. If you're prepping a vehicle for a mountain trip or need post-trip maintenance, we're right on your route home.
