Highgate is one of Burnaby’s most vibrant urban neighbourhoods, centred around Highgate Village Shopping Centre and bustling Kingsway. With its mix of high-rise condos, townhomes, and local shops, it’s a community where residents rely heavily on their vehicles for commuting, errands, and weekend trips.
Whether you’re navigating traffic along Kingsway, driving to Edmonds SkyTrain, or making quick trips to Metrotown, the constant stop-and-go driving and short distances can cause accelerated wear on brakes, batteries, and engines. At Crompton Brothers Automotive, we’re less than five minutes from Highgate — offering trusted, professional auto repair for over 40 years.

A Highgate customer came to us after hearing grinding noises while braking. They commute daily to Vancouver via Kingsway, which means multiple stops every block during rush hour.

We replaced both, ensuring smooth and safe braking, and also performed a brake fluid flush to extend the lifespan of the new components.
