About Roberts Complete Auto Care

Quality vehicle maintenance and repair, at a fair price, from our family to yours.

Roberts Complete Auto Care opened its doors in Barrie in 2012, but the story behind it goes back much further than that.

Doug Roberts spent his entire adult life in the automotive industry. He started as an auto body technician, and in 1979 he opened Roberts Collision, his own auto body shop right here in Barrie. In 2003, he brought the shop under the Fix Auto brand, and it became Fix Auto Barrie North — a business that continues to operate today. Doug had a vision that went beyond collision repair though. He wanted to offer Barrie families a complete, trustworthy place to bring their vehicles for everything. So he opened Roberts Complete Auto Care right across the parking lot, creating a one-stop shop for mechanical repair and everything in between.

Doug believed the automotive industry deserved to be respected. He ran his shop with integrity and honesty, never recommending work that wasn’t needed, always explaining what was happening and why. In an industry that has earned a complicated reputation, he was determined to be different — and he was.

Doug Roberts passed away on June 16th, 2024. He was a good man, a great businessman, and the kind of father who built something worth carrying forward. We miss him every day.

Today, Roberts Complete Auto Care is co-owned and operated by Derek Clark alongside the Roberts family, who continue to carry Doug’s vision forward. Derek runs the shop day to day, and he does it the same way Doug always did — with his sleeves rolled up, his door open, and his name behind every job that leaves the bay.

The names may have changed slightly, but nothing else has. The same values Doug built this place on — honesty, integrity, genuine care for the customer and their vehicle — are what we get up every morning to deliver.

Our team feels it too. The people who work here are proud to be part of a shop that actually lives what it says. We won’t upsell you. We won’t recommend work your car doesn’t need. We’ll show you what we found, explain it clearly, and let you make the informed decision. That’s what Doug always believed customers deserved, and we believe it too.

If you’re looking for a mechanic in Barrie you can actually trust, we’d love to earn that trust from you.

Our goal at Roberts Complete Auto Care is to deliver comprehensive and professional quality services at a fair price, keeping your vehicle safe on the road.

Our reputation, integrity, qualifications and expertise qualified our auto mechanci shop to become an approved NAPA AutoCare Centre, giving us the ability to offer NAPA quality parts, NAPA’s 12 month/20,000km Peace of Mind Warranty, and 24/7 NAPA Emergency Roadside Assistance.

We trust in our expert technicians, parts and services so much, that we expanded on the NAPA AutoCare Warranty and added our own 12 month/20,000km parts and labour warranty on to it, thus doubling the warranty period to 24 months/40,000kms — giving our loyal customers additional worry free coverage on their repairs.

Called them on Monday went in expecting a large bill. They bled my brakes and repaired the problem and charged me nothing. These people are a true gem. Anybody looking for an honest, reliable mechanic shop with human beings that care about others? This is your shop. Absolutely love these guys! I will be baking them a batch of beautiful cookies to take to them. Thanks so much guys. You don't know how much that means to me

I have been leasing new cars for years and have never needed an automotive service company other than the deal for a while. I just couldn't justify the high costs associated with buying snow tires for my new car from the dealer. So, I reached out to Roberts Auto and was impressed with the very competitive pricing for tires and install fees. I dropped my car off and had it back quickly that day. They took great care of my car, charged me a fair ( actually solid deal ) price and made the whole process easy. I will certainly be back and recommend them to anyone looking for a quality, ethical and fair priced automotive service.

Brought my van in for brake issues and initially left feeling pretty frustrated when the symptoms came back. But after following up, they took the time to re-inspect everything and worked with me to make it right. They standby their work. Will continue to recommend their shop when asked.

UPDATE May 2025: * I continue to be so grateful for the service I receive from Roberts. Relationships are where it's at in business, and Roberts knows how to take care of not only your vehicle, but the trust and loyalty that makes a business successful. Add in a little humour and grace in the moments that can be a little stressful with our cars, and I'm sold. Thanks again for making some crummy days a lot better, Roberts. * Roberts has the best staff, the best service, and the most honest auto care I've received anywhere. I really appreciate the fair assessments we get of what our vehicles need to keep us all safe on the road. Derrick, Neil, Adam, Liam....you're all awesome!
