www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday July 12, 2006 - 21 Trusted and respected in the community After celebrating ten successful years Mark's Auto Service has moved to a new and improved location on Wyecroft Rd. In a day and age where automobiles are more complicated than ever, finding a mechanic to trust and rely on is a difficult task. With more than 20 years of experience behind him, Mark Bergasse, Owner of Mark's Auto Service is trusted and respected by his clients and industry peers alike. "I have been in the community for many years and after experiencing a lot of growth, we decided to move to a new shop that allows us to offer our clients the kind of service we want to," says Mark. "We just celebrated our 10th anniversary and we are exited to spend the next 10 years in our new location." Now located at 318 Wyecroft Rd., Oakville, Mark's Auto Service offers a family friendly atmosphere. "Families can come in and there is a place for the kids to play. We have a new look, new location, and the same great old fashioned service as always," says Mark.

"We have new, quality equipment that allows us to trouble-shoot and repair your luxury car just like at the dealership." At a time where vehicle and repair technology is advancing at a phenomenal speed, shops and technicians have to constantly evolve in order to keep up with the rapid changes. "We are changing with the times - 20 years ago, as an apprentice, I owned tools worth roughly $3,500. Now myself and each of my technicians owns tools worth over $20,000," says Mark. "We used to spend 80 per cent of our time repairing, and 20 per cent trouble-shooting. Now we spend 80 per cent of our time diagnosing, and 20 per cent repairing." Along with experience, great service and a new shop, Mark's Auto Service also offers exciting, new, innovative programs. Their Don't Pass, Don't Pay! is a Drive Clean Emissions Test that is available every day of the week. "If you don't pass you don't pay!
