At Cold Start Auto Service & Repairs, we believe vehicle owners deserve better.
Too often, people leave repair shops feeling confused, pressured, or uncertain about the work being recommended. We believe automotive service should be honest, transparent, and built on trust.
That’s why we started Cold Start Auto.
As a family-owned and operated auto repair shop in Airdrie, our mission is simple: provide dealership-level expertise, honest recommendations, and exceptional customer service while treating every customer like family.
We want every person who walks through our doors to feel confident that they’re receiving straightforward advice, quality workmanship, and fair value for their hard-earned money.
Cold Start Auto is led by owner and lead technician Scott Brine, who brings over 15 years of dealership-level automotive experience working with Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Nissan, and many other makes and models.
Scott’s extensive background in diagnostics, maintenance, and complex repairs allows us to provide the high level of expertise customers expect from a dealership—without the high prices, confusing explanations, or impersonal experience.
Every vehicle is treated with care, attention to detail, and a commitment to getting the job done right the first time.
We’re not just here to fix vehicles.
We’re here to build long-term relationships with our customers and become the shop families can trust for years to come.
Our team is committed to creating a different kind of repair experience—one built on clear communication, honesty, respect, and genuine care. We take the time to explain what your vehicle needs, answer your questions, and help you make informed decisions without pressure or unnecessary repairs.
