About J Lane Auto

Inside J Lane Auto: two blue two post hoists, a tire machine, and a mezzanine over the back wall

J Lane Auto is Jesse's shop. He opened the bay door at 671 Erskine Ave in September 2024, and plenty of his customers have trusted him with their vehicles for years.

Within the first year the shop became a Ministry authorized safety inspection station, added a second hoist and an alignment machine, and brought on Mike as a full time tech. The idea has stayed the same the whole way: explain the problem plainly, fix what actually needs fixing, and charge a fair price for it.

“I couldn’t be happier with the progress of the business. Thanks to everyone’s continued support along the way!”
