If you didn't get if from Jim or Doug...I wouldn't believe it. They're busy every time I have work done there...and I was there just two weeks ago for an oil change and heard nothing -- and I know them both well enough that they would have told me.

Abbey Road Automotive is closing for good, we have known for about 2 months that this may happen but was never sure until Friday June 27th. The building that we occupy has been sold. We have tried for the last couple of months to secure another location but all attempts have failed leaving us no choice but to close the doors. Unfortunately the Alberta Advantage does not work for everyone as the commercial real estate prices have priced us small shops out of the market. We are making every effort to find our customer's alternate locations to have there service needs taken care of. Doug and I thank you for your support over the years and hope our paths will cross again in the future. Thank you Jim Berg Abbey Road Automotive.

There is an old Certiguard shop (former Petro Canada station) at 40th Ave & 114 St that's coming free. They just reclaimed the land (old tanks) due to the change in environmental requirements in September 2008 by AB-Env. Basically it's ready for pavement now (new soil). Three service bays (individual doors) plus a nice front end and land. Hopefully ARA is up and running soon...as you're the city's best resource for Mazdas...

I would hope ARA gets back up and running. If it shouldn't, Jim/Doug, let us know where you go. I'm sure you'll continue to have a following as long as your turning a wrench. Darren

We would go to where they go. I am looking for a garage who could fix my short nose crankshaft (1990) problem ... help ? please someone give a referral. Thanks Dave

From that, and the guarded responses from her, I'd have to surmise that ARA is dead.
