Question 1

What is Garage Path57's hourly rate?

Accepted Answer

$110 per hour when the garage supplies the parts, $130 per hour if you bring your own parts. The rate is posted publicly at garagepath57.com/en/pricing.

Question 2

How much is a complete inspection at Path57 in Montreal?

Accepted Answer

$80 for a complete pre-purchase or annual inspection, free if it leads to a repair of $50 or more. The inspection covers more than 50 points.

Question 3

Where is Garage Path57 located?

Accepted Answer

At 7971 15e Avenue in the Saint-Michel district of Montreal (H1Z 3N5). The garage serves Saint-Michel, Villeray, Montreal-North, Ahuntsic, Rosemont, Saint-Léonard and Anjou.

Question 4

How do I reach Garage Path57?

Accepted Answer

At (514) 433-7479 — the garage's only number. Both calls and texts go straight to Path, the mechanic; there is no call centre. By text you can send a photo of the part, a video, or a voice note — recording the noise the car makes is often more useful than a long description. If he doesn't pick up, he's working on a vehicle; he calls back.

Question 5

What are Garage Path57's opening hours?

Accepted Answer

Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Closed Sunday. Phone: (514) 433-7479.

Question 6

Is rustproofing worth it in Montreal?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Road salt used from November to April attacks the underbody, brake lines and weld points. An annual paraffin treatment costs $100 for a car, $120 for an SUV and $140 for a truck at Path57 — far less than repairing structural corrosion.

Question 7

Does Garage Path57 do repairs without my approval?

Accepted Answer

No. The shop rule is « nothing without your approval »: you get an estimate, you approve it, and only then does work begin. You can also ask to see the replaced parts.

Question 8

Can I bring my own parts to Garage Path57?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The labour rate then goes to $130 per hour instead of $110, because the warranty on the part is no longer the garage's responsibility.

Question 9

When should winter tires be installed in Quebec?

Accepted Answer

Quebec law requires winter tires from December 1 to March 15. In practice they go on once temperatures stay below 7 °C — often mid-November in Montreal. Booking early avoids the November rush.
