Bowest Motors 2023: A Year in Review

As we bid farewell to an eventful 2023, Bowest Motors is thrilled to share our journey with you - a year filled with challenges, growth, and above all, our unwavering commitment to providing top-notch automotive services.

Our Calgary customers are really embracing the 2 tire seasons. 2023 was a boom year for winter tires even though the weather has been unseasonably warm. We have always recommended people have dedicated winter tires in Calgary and there seems to be an uptrend in that.

Most notably, 2023 marked 65 years in business for Bowest Motors!

How We Adapted to Serve You Better

In the ever-evolving landscape of automotive care, Bowest Motors embraced change in 2023 to better cater to your needs. Our commitment to excellence led us to refine our services, introducing cutting-edge technology and efficient processes. Discover how we adapted to the dynamic demands of the industry, ensuring your experience with us is nothing short of exceptional.

We are seeing more people investing in their vehicles rather than trading in for a new one. This past year, we have seen more jobs like replacement engines, big suspension repairs, and more! To stretch your dollars, we kept our labour rates the same, rather than increasing them, giving our customers even more value in these tight times.

We also continue to see increases in the EV sector. We are now offering more routine maintenance on EVs and we have started to sell EV specific products like wheel and tire packages that are designed specifically for the EV sector.

Notable Milestones in 2023

In 2023, we finished up and sold a fun project that was part of our Bowest Motors heritage. We completed our BugRod project. The car was an original courtesy car from Bowest Motors in the 1960's.

We continue to enjoy a return to normal with more attendance at pre-pandemic events! This was the first summer in a few years we had car related events back on the program. We also had fun at local car meets and shows. 

Additionally, our community Garden volunteers had the most abundant and beautiful garden yet! 

Customer Testimonials

The heart of Bowest Motors lies in the satisfaction of our customers. In 2023, we were privileged to receive heartfelt testimonials from individuals who experienced the Bowest difference.

“The service was superb & good value. The location is easily accessible.  It is a clean establishment with a pleasant waiting area,  with magazines & some toys for kids. Their online communication & booking are efficient. Perhaps they could alert the car customer if additional service to the car is required; the customer can decide whether to have it done on the same day. That would be nice.” - SiuYin H.

“Bowest Motors is trustworthy, fast, and so very helpful. This last week, our van started having troubles, and the mechanics and staff at Bowest worked past hours to make sure we could be on the road by the next morning (special shout out to Nicholas for staying late and to Les for the updates along the way). They saved our roadtrip!” - Kara Boda Harvey

“These guys went above and beyond with customers' care and service. My car was fixed in a timely manner, and when the issue seemed to still be there, they re-examined and spent a lot of time and came up with a solution; dedicating many hours and mechanics;  and honored as under their original work warranty. I will go there again and highly recommend them! Support local!” - Kathy Wright
