Getting Here from Leslieville
The drive from Leslieville to our shop is about 45 km east on Highway 11 — the David Thompson Highway. It's a familiar route for anyone in the Clearwater County area who heads to Sylvan Lake or Red Deer for supplies.
Eckville is the halfway point. From there, Highway 11 continues east as a four-lane divided highway straight into Sylvan Lake.
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 reach us before you get into downtown Sylvan Lake or anywhere near the Red Deer traffic.

Why Drive East Instead of West?
Leslieville residents typically choose between Rocky Mountain House to the west or Sylvan Lake to the east. Both are reasonable drives. Here's why many west-country folks choose us:
More Options in One Stop
Rocky Mountain House has capable shops, but Sylvan Lake AUTOPRO offers comprehensive diagnostics, all inspection types (out-of-province, CVIP, insurance, pre-purchase), alignment with our Hunter HawkEye Elite system, A/C service, and full electrical diagnostics — all under one roof.
The NAPA Warranty Travels With You
Our repairs are backed by the NAPA Peace of Mind warranty — 24 months or 40,000 km, honoured at 17,000+ locations across North America. If something goes wrong while you're in Edmonton, Calgary, or on the road, you're covered at the nearest NAPA AUTOPRO shop.
Digital Inspections You Can See
We send photos and measurements of every inspection directly to your phone. No guesswork, no "trust me" — you see exactly what we're looking at and why we're recommending it.
You're Probably Heading This Way Anyway
If you're running errands in Sylvan Lake or Red Deer, book your vehicle in for the morning and it's ready when you're done shopping.
Services West-Country Residents Need
Living near the David Thompson Highway means mountain trips are part of life — heading west to Nordegg, Abraham Lake, Saskatchewan River Crossing, and beyond. Mountain driving puts extra stress on brakes, cooling systems, and drivetrain components. A pre-trip check or post-trip inspection is smart preventive maintenance.
Between Highway 11 and the range roads around Leslieville, Condor, and Alhambra, your suspension takes a beating. Potholes, frost heaves, and washboard gravel wear out shocks, struts, and ball joints. Our alignment system catches issues before they chew through a set of tires.
Rural driving — dust, gravel, towing, short trips in cold weather — all count as severe-duty conditions. That means more frequent oil changes and filter replacements. We use Castrol synthetic oil and NAPA filters, and we'll set you up on a maintenance schedule that matches how you actually drive.
Out-of-province, CVIP commercial, insurance, and pre-purchase inspections. We're fully licensed through AMVIC. Common need in the Clearwater County area, especially for trucks and equipment vehicles coming from other provinces.
Many Leslieville-area residents drive diesel pickups for farm, ranch, and oilfield work. We service both gas and diesel light-duty and medium-duty trucks — maintenance, diagnostics, brakes, suspension, and more.
Check engine light on? Our professional scan tools and factory-level software identify the actual problem. We diagnose issues properly so you're not guessing or replacing parts unnecessarily.
About Leslieville & the West Country
Leslieville has been a Clearwater County community since 1903 — one of the earliest settlements along the railway line between Rocky Mountain House and Red Deer. Today it's a small, tight-knit hamlet of about 130 people, surrounded by agricultural land and the rolling foothills of central Alberta.
The broader west country — Leslieville, Condor, Alhambra, Withrow, and the acreages along Highway 11 and the surrounding range roads — is home to people who depend on their vehicles. Farming, ranching, oilfield work, and commuting to Red Deer or Sylvan Lake for work and errands all mean serious mileage on trucks and SUVs.
We've been serving west-country residents since we opened in 2006. We understand that when your truck is your livelihood, downtime costs money. We schedule efficiently, communicate clearly, and get vehicles back on the road.
