Not sure what it needs?
Pick what you’ve noticed. You’ll see what it usually means and what we do about it.
Shops call these the three Cs: concern, cause and correction.
Service deskConcern / cause / correction
Worn brake pads. A squeal is often the wear indicator touching the rotor. Grinding can mean the pad is gone and metal is rubbing on metal.
We measure the pads and check the rotors. Then we replace what’s worn, from pads to rotors and drums.
It could be small, like a loose gas cap. It could also be a sensor or a bigger fault. There’s no way to know until the codes are read.
We plug in our diagnostic tools, read the codes and test the cause. You hear what we found before any work starts.
A weak battery, corroded terminals or a fault in the starting system. Sometimes fuel isn’t reaching the engine.
We test the battery and the starting circuit first. If those are fine, we check the fuel system.
Low coolant, a leak, or a cooling part that’s starting to fail. Driving it hot can damage the engine.
We check the radiator, hoses, water pump and thermostat. Then we fix the leak or flush and refill the coolant.
Worn steering or suspension parts. A hard hit on a pothole or a curb can also knock things out of line.
We inspect the shocks, struts, springs and steering parts, and replace what’s worn.
A worn or loose part in the suspension. One worn part puts extra wear on the parts next to it.
We put the car on the lift, find the worn part and replace it.
Low or burnt transmission fluid, a worn clutch, or the start of a transmission fault.
We check the fluid and how the car shifts. The fix can be a fluid flush or a larger repair.
A leak or a failed part somewhere between the exhaust manifold and the tailpipe. Exhaust getting into the cabin is dangerous.
We check the whole exhaust system and repair or replace the failed section.
A fuel system fault. Fuel passes through many parts on its way to the engine, and any one can fail.
We trace it from the tank to the engine, fix the fault and clean the fuel system.
Air in the brake lines, low fluid or a leak. A pedal that sinks to the floor is not safe to drive on.
We find the leak, bleed the air out of the system and replace the master cylinder if it has failed.
The colour tells you a lot.
Bring it in and we’ll find where it’s coming from. If you think it’s brake fluid, call us before you drive.
An electrical fault. It can be a fuse or a bulb. It can also be a relay, a sensor or a computer module.
We track down the source and fix it, from a blown fuse to a failed module.
A fault in the transfer case or a differential. These parts run in oil that needs to be replaced from time to time.
We check the oil for signs of wear inside, service the fluid and repair what’s damaged.
Good timing. Regular service costs far less than the repairs that come from skipping it.
Oil and filter, tire rotation, brake check, fluids, filters, battery and lights. We’ll tell you what’s due next.
03 / Three locations, open Mon to Sat, 9:00 am to 5:30 pm

At the parts counter, tell us the year, make and model, and we’ll find the part that fits. If it isn’t in stock, it soon will be.
In the repair shop, our mechanics do everything from oil changes and brake checks to check engine lights and coolant flushes. We offer same-day service for most repairs. Call the location near you and tell us what you need.

Locally owned and operated since 1987
Vancouver Auto Parts has sold parts and fixed cars in the Lower Mainland since 1987. Finding a mechanic you can trust is no easy task, and we’ve been earning that trust ever since.
We’re still locally owned, and the owner still runs the business. Over the years we’ve built and mentored a team of mechanics. Together they bring decades of training and experience to your car.
At the counter, we stand behind every part we sell. In the shop, our goal is to keep your car maintained, so it doesn’t end up on one of our lifts for a costly repair.
In Surrey we carry on the Decker’s Auto Parts name. It has more than 90 years of parts and service history behind it.

Both. Every location has a parts counter and a full-service repair shop with skilled mechanics. Buy the part and fit it yourself, or leave the car with us. We’ve sold parts and fixed cars in the Lower Mainland since 1987. Call your nearest location and ask for the parts counter or the repair shop.
Often, yes. We offer same-day service for most repairs. Call your nearest shop in the morning and tell us what the car is doing. We’ll tell you when we can get it in. Bigger jobs can take longer, and so can parts that have to be ordered.
Tell us the year, make and model of your vehicle before you buy, and we’ll check the fit at the counter. For wheels and tires, ask our team to confirm the fitment. Not sure what you have? Call your nearest counter and we’ll work it out with you.
Call your nearest shop or send the estimate form on this site. Pick a shop and tell us what the car is doing. Noises, smells and warning lights all help. The more we know before you arrive, the faster we can find the cause. We’ll call you back to set a time.
Not on this site. There is no cart or checkout here. Call your nearest parts counter, or send the parts request form with the year, make and model and the part you need. The counter checks stock and fit, then calls you back with a price.
Yes, in Burnaby and Richmond. Burnaby orders usually arrive within a couple of hours. Richmond orders placed before 4:30 pm arrive the same day. We deliver to your home or straight to your mechanic’s shop. At a shop, someone needs to be there to sign for the parts.
Check that the gas cap is tight, then book a scan. The light can point to something minor or something serious, and the car can’t tell you which. We read the codes, find the cause and explain it in plain words. You decide what happens next.
Call the shop near you, or send a few details and we’ll call you back.
