En route to a feeling of safety and peace of mind.

At the En Route tires and mechanic DDO garage – a certified Goodyear Select dealer – you get a feeling quickly that this garage is not like the rest. In addition to its tire-change services, general repairs and tire storage, the garage also extends a hand to businesses with its famous Valet Express service.

What's Valet Express? Good question: it's a service – offered Monday to Friday – wherein the garage picks up your car from your workplace while you are at work and returns it later on. Simple, efficient and innovative, the Valet Express program allows workers to concentrate on their jobs and allows employers to avoid absenteeism due to car repairs. It's rather impressive, but it's only one of the many great services available at En Route.(to find out more please visit www.valetexpress.ca)

The garage's owner Michel Naggar, said not only does the certified Goodyear dealer sell new tires, but slightly used ones as well, and, naturally, a wide range of Goodyear products. That's not all, though. Dunlop, Goodrich, Michelin, Uniroyal, Toyo and Bridgestone tires are available on-site. En Route can also address many repairs as well, be it brakes, steering, suspension, alignment, oil changes, electric repairs and electronics, all under one roof. The garage will also look after your car's esthetic appeal as well, at very, very competitive rates.

You can get your tires changed, aligned and balanced, all for just $139.95. Got an Air Miles card? Good. En Route is pleased to offer the Air Miles promotion with any purchase.

It must also be noted that the garage has been open for 15 years and boasts a staff of more than 20 eminently qualified employees.

Since the new law obliges car drivers to install winter tires on their car the demand for used tires increased significantly. Your garage En route pneus et mécanique D.D.O. offers you a vast selection of used tires.

With winter approaching quickly, many car owners have little patience for mechanical problems. For Naggar and his staff, the client's time is the most important priority. "At other garages, it's first-come, first-served, which puts certain clients at a disadvantage," he said, adding that "in other garages, clients have to show up on-site because the garage's voice-mail box is full. At some of these places, there's a line of 50 peope, first thing in the morning."

As far as his staff goes, the average age of Naggar's employees is 45 years old – much more experienced than competing garages. A good example is Harold Carr, who will celebrate his 37th year in Goodyear Canada's employee. Carr was described in a 2007 Cités Nouvelles story as an "honest, loyal, conscientious and punctual employee." The 68-year-old Carr is still as vital and valuable to the company as ever.

They're also open seven days a week. How many garages can say the same?
