For decades, Irving Blackstone watched car owners browse the automotive aisles of Canadian Tire looking for “miracle cures” that would improve gas mileage, quiet lifters, fix leaky gaskets and cracked engine blocks. After a long and  exhaustive study of the various brands of snake oil sold to unsuspecting motorists, Blackstone decided to open the Richmond Hill Auto Naturopathy Centre, a maintenance and repair shop that is completely based on tried and true principles of natural healing.

Located at Bayview and Elgin Mills, the Auto Naturopathy Centre offer a complete line of restorative treatments at competitive prices:

• Gingseng  oil treatment: 4, 6 or 8 cylinder just $79, $89 and $99
• Guava & Lemon Rad Flush: $49
• Crystal Magnetic Wheel Balance: $75
• Tire Rotation & Acupuncture treatment; $20 per tire.

Blackstone says that business has been brisk since the shop opened in January, noting “we’ll do everything in our power to treat our customer’s vehicles in a caring and timely fashion”.

“Stop by anytime for a complementary Chai Tea and to discuss your car’s needs”, he added.

The Richmond Hill Auto Naturopathy Centre is open weekdays from 8am to 7pm and Saturdays from 11-5pm.
