Regardless of our political opinions and differences, it is pretty cool to see local Josh Hall interviewing Canadian Prime Minister at our local Red Hart!

Question Do I trust Red Deer Honda service quotes?

3 Upvotes

We've been quoted over $14,000 for a new transmission in a 2019 CRV. We're not from here originally so I don't know if I can just accept that quote or if I'm being hosed by the dealership. Googling the costs says the max cost should be around $10,000 for a brand new transmission installed.

My main question is if anybody from here who has dealt with the Red Deer Honda dealership who can confirm their trustworthiness. Thanks

Question Evening hangout spot

11 Upvotes

Looking for a casual quiet spot to hang out with friends after work to chat and catch up. We only have a few hours after work (around 5:30). Would love a quiet coffee shop, but most, other than Tim's or Starbucks, are closed by then. Any suggestions?

A big thank you to the kind stranger who stopped by to check on me (and give me a soda) while I was having a panic attack on the side of the road just outside of Red Deer. After calming down a bit, I was able to get home safely.

Question Evolve Body Piercing

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I have heard great things about Evolve Body Piercing and I have reached out to them a couple of times. They haven't given me a direct answer on their hours of operation? Even tho it says 4:15PM-12:00AM. I went to their shop at around 4:30PM to see that it was closed??? Just kinda....curious if the hours are wrong or if they're just booked up!!
