About Foothills Group Inc.
The vision has always been there, but it has grown exponentially. What started out as a one man show fixing automotive vehicles in a three car garage just a few years ago, has quickly turned into a much larger operation. Moving from a home garage into a building with a 3,300 sq ft shop was a big step towards our goals. With four lifts and the ability to work on seven vehicles in the shop, we rapidly outgrew the space after a year and a half.
We have now moved into an 11,000 sq ft shop and have grown our range of services to include more than just fleet vehicles.
Our name has changed from Foothills Fleet Service to Foothills Group. We have opened three divisions to cater to a broad range of customers, while staying specialized in different fields. Being able to trust your mechanic is paramount, and that is why honesty and ethical service for our customers are our top priorities.
Let us earn your business with top quality work, quick turn around and unmatched service. We offer one of the best warranties in the industry with TWO years and UNLIMITED KMS for both parts and labour. All repairs go through strict quality control to avoid expensive breakdowns and tow bills.
