Cochrane Automotive - Serving Since 1972
At Cochrane Automotive, our journey began in 1972, when we first opened doors in Etobicoke, the west end of Toronto. Today, we’re proud to be a trusted name in automotive repair in Toronto. While our roots were established by John Cochrane, it’s Ju Chen, who has taken the wheel to steer Cochrane Automotive into the future.
Ju’s story with us started in 2013 as an apprentice, where his hands-on approach and genuine love for cars quickly made him an essential part of the team. Over the years, he not only became a licensed technician but also built meaningful relationships with our customers, always putting their needs first. By the end of 2021, Ju stepped into ownership, continuing the commitment to excellence and quality started by John Cochrane.

Customer Testimonials
David CanningThe guys here have done an incredible job repairing my 1993 Ford Probe GT... Ju Chen always makes sure all of my concerns are addressed in a totally professional manner... Master mechanic Dimitri did an amazing job in bringing back the car's true level of performance. Very few shops come even close to the high standards Cochrane Automotive sets. Thanks so much for the all the time and effort put into the extensive repairs on the Probe !!!
Victoria T.From a girl who knows nothing about cars, coming in and asking 101 questions, being scared she would get scammed. The team made my experience such a positive one, the front desk were very sweet and helpful, the technician was extremely informative. I WASN'T upsold, they were able to help me with my problem and explain how to prevent/why it was happening. I couldn't have been more happier, will 100% be coming back.
Cathy LorensI was referred to Cochrane Automotive by CAA when my car had broken down. The staff were fantastic from the front desk to the technicians working on my car. Read More
KF LangThis team is awesome. I started taking my newer Volvo to them for service (it is still under the manufacturers warranty). Cochrane said they’d point out any warranty work if they saw any. The VERY FIRST visit Cochrane found a broken engine mount and sent me a photo. Based on Cochrane’s advice Volvo is repairing it. Excellent service ! And the pricing is definitely better than a dealership… no sticker shock
Anne M.Big thanks once again to Cochrane Automotive for solving my problem with clay and rocks stuck inside back tire wheels after adventure driving in mud in Vermont! Special thanks to Tony for another excellent and safe car service!
Rachel OliviaYasir at the front desk was kind and helpful. Dimitri the mechanic was knowledgeable, helpful and provided useful recommendations. Overall experience I would recommend to anyone looking for automotive assistance.
Jason HuntListened to what my concerns were, why I was getting extra stuff done - provided a detailed and fair quote (and stuck to it), kept to the agreed upon time frame, kept in contact and threw in a few extras. Professional, fair and friendly service all the way down the line.
Michael RouseI took my Chrysler Pacifica to Cochrane Automotive for inspection and I’m happy I looked up CAA approved shops on line and chose Cochrane. My appointment was kept on time, the facilities to wait are roomy and comfortable and staff were professional and courteous, right from my call to book visit. A special shout out to Tony who inspected my van. He brought me into the shop and explained his findings. He patiently answered my questions and obviously had a wealth of experience and knowledge. Thank you Tony!
Julius FulopWas pleasantly surprised that across the Christmas holidays when most garages were closed for business, Cochrane not only accepted my vehicle in the late afternoon and agreed to complete the alternator replacement first off the next morning, but also provided a courtesy car for me to get home. They completed the work as promised the following morning and i was able to pick up my car before noon. Much appreciated.
