At OttoStadt, our goal is to ensure that your vehicle is safe and reliable at all times. We firmly believe that you should never be surprised by a repair or maintenance that your vehicle may require. We believe in maintaining a vehicle, not repairing it. Our years of experience has shown us that a diligently maintained vehicle will provide many years of trouble free ownership. Almost all “breakdowns” can be avoided with a regular Vehicle Health Check of your vehicle’s condition and following a regular service schedule.
It is for this reason that we have developed our OttoStadt maintenance program to help you keep track of needed maintenance with reminders so you don’t have to worry about it . Our Vehicle Health Check allows you to plan ahead for repairs and avoid unnecessary breakdowns and not be surprised by car repairs. Think of us as a Concierge service for your car maintenance.
We may be the only garage on the planet that does not want to see your car show up on a tow truck.

David began his automotive career in 1999 at a Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche dealership. Over the next decade, he gained valuable experience in both dealership and independent shops. In 2010, he launched OttoStadt in Aylmer, and within 10 months, hired his first employee—marking the start of steady growth.
In 2018, David purchased the Jacques Auto building at 34 Gatineau Avenue in the Touraine district of Gatineau. He invested heavily in renovating and expanding the space to provide full-service automotive repairs under one roof, including air conditioning, diagnostics, tires, wheels, and alignments.
Today, OttoStadt has eight full-time employees and a fleet of six new courtesy vehicles. With dealer-level software, parts data, and diagnostic tools for BMW, Audi, VW, Mercedes, Mini, and Porsche, we proudly offer top-tier expertise with the quality service you deserve.
