- Phone. (705) 472-6060. You are talking to the shop, not a call centre.

(705) 472-6060Where Cholette Street Is
Cholette St is one turn off the highway on the industrial side of North Bay. It is a grey steel-clad building with the AutoNorth sign on the front and gravel parking out front, sharing the block with a liquidation store.
- Coming from town. Head for the industrial area off the highway. The building sits back from the road with the parking area in front of the bay doors.
- Parking. Gravel lot in front. Pull in anywhere that is not blocking a bay door.
- Dropping off after hours. Use the key drop and leave a note with your name, number and what the vehicle needs.
- First visit? Call from the lot if you cannot work out where to go. Somebody will come out.
The map below is the shop's Google Business Profile listing, so the directions link in it goes straight to turn-by-turn navigation.
What to Have Ready
Four things make the call shorter and the quote more accurate. None of them require you to know anything about cars.
- Year, make and model. Almost every price question depends on it, and a lot of them cannot be answered without it.
- What the vehicle is actually doing. The noise, when it happens, how often, and whether it changes with speed or with turning. Describe the symptom rather than guessing at the cause.
- Whether it is a warranty or fleet vehicle. Say so up front. Warranty work and fleet accounts need the right time set aside and the right paperwork on hand.
- Whether you need a ride. The shuttle runs, including rides home, but it is easier to arrange when you book than on the morning.
Not sure which service you need at all? The services page matches common symptoms to the right appointment, or just call and describe it.
Call, Text or Form: Which One Should You Use?
All three reach the shop. Which one suits depends on what you need to get across.
- Call for anything urgent. A vehicle that is not safe to drive, a warning light that just came on, or a booking you need this week. (705) 472-6060, Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm.
- Text when a call is awkward. You can send a photo of the problem, which is often worth more than a paragraph describing it. (705) 571-4391.
- Use the form outside hours. It lands with the shop and somebody gets back to you to confirm a time. During the working day, phoning gets you a person.
- Already had work done? The inspection report carries two-way text messaging, so a question about a recommendation goes back in that thread rather than starting a new conversation.
Whichever you use, lead with the year, make and model. Nearly every question depends on it.
What Happens After You Hand Over the Keys
You do not have to sit in a waiting room wondering. The report comes to your phone, and you decide from wherever you happen to be.
- Leave a number you will actually answer. Or better, one that receives texts, because that is where the inspection report lands.
- Say if there is a deadline. Needing the vehicle back by three changes how the day gets planned. It is much easier to know at drop-off than at two o'clock.
- Mention anything you already know. A noise that only happens cold, a light that comes on once a week, a repair somebody else quoted. All of it saves diagnostic time, which saves money.
- Then go about your day. The report arrives by text and email with photos and video, grouped by priority, and you approve or decline each item without phoning anyone.
- Nothing happens until you say so. Beyond the work you booked, no repair goes ahead without approval, and declining something is a normal outcome rather than a negotiation.
If a repair is bigger than the month allows, ask about third-party financing through AT Clarke Enterprises when you book rather than at pickup.
Contact: Common Questions
What are AutoNorth's hours?
Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm, closed weekends. There is a key drop for outside those hours, so you can leave the vehicle the night before and the shop starts on it first thing.
Do I need an appointment, or can I walk in?
Walk-ins are welcome for normal jobs. Booking ahead still gets you the time that suits you rather than whatever is left, so call (705) 472-6060 or text (705) 571-4391 if you want a specific slot. If you are passing and it is a routine job, come in.
Where is AutoNorth located?
1520 Cholette St, North Bay, Ontario P1A 0A9, one turn off the highway on the industrial side of town. Grey steel building with the AutoNorth sign and gravel parking in front.
Should I call or fill in the form?
Phone for anything urgent, because you get a person rather than a message. The form is there for when phoning is awkward or the shop is closed, and somebody gets back to you to confirm a time.
Can I drop the vehicle off the night before?
Yes. There is an after-hours key drop. Leave a note with your name, your number and what the vehicle needs, and AutoNorth picks it up first thing.
Can I get a ride home if I leave my car?
