Welcome to Preferred Auto & Fleet Service – your friendly neighborhood auto repair shop in Thunder Bay, Ontario, bringing joy to vehicles and their owners since 1998. But hey, let’s not forget how we got here!
Our story took a new turn in 2014 when Malcolm Heathcote took over the reins. While he’s your go-to guy today for all things auto repair, his journey to becoming a proud shop owner was far from typical – and that’s what makes him so unique!
Malcolm’s love for cars started long before running his own shop. From his high school days in 2005, he’s had a strong enthusiasm for everything on wheels. That passion grew through Ice Racing, Mud Racing, Off-roading with his Jeep, Drag Racing, and Auto Slalom racing, among other motorsports.
Before living the dream of owning a repair shop, Malcolm spent a decade honing his skills as a machinist. Eventually, his heart led him to fuse his love for vehicles into a rewarding venture – an auto repair shop.
