Belfast Auto Garage & Car Sales has been a fixture on Belfast Road in Ottawa since 1996, serving the community with straightforward, reliable car repair and a solid inventory of used vehicles. We are not a dealership. We are mechanics who know cars inside and out.
Whether you need a safety certificate, a quick oil change or a full engine rebuild, we treat every vehicle like it is our own. Our auto recycling side means we have access to quality used parts that can save you money without sacrificing quality.
