Eccles Auto Service has been a premier business in Dundas since 1984. Now in its 5th decade, the leadership reins have been assumed by Scott Eccles, son of Bruce and Claire.
Their 121 King St location is now the main office for customer service. Here the clients are greeted by service advisors Anne, Krisia or Jim. The automotive service work may occur at King St. or the second location at 123 Hatt Street. In total, EAS has 9 bays with 4 licensed technicians and 2 apprentices. All under the direction of Jim Lawton GM and Scott Eccles. Bruce is a consultant for the business and Claire still does the bookkeeping.

Scott is a graduate of the Retail Management program at Niagara College and the automotive apprenticeship program at Mohawk College. Like his dad, and Jeff Taylor, EAS master technician, Scott received the Top Student award while at Mohawk. In 2007, Scott took on the 200 King Street property and remained there until a few years ago when closer property came available. (It is now leased by Dundas Power Sports). After Bruce’s accident in 2010 Scott shouldered more responsibility and in 2019 took ownership of the business.
Eccles Auto is known locally for its small town feel with premier automotive service. It is also known nationally as a result of Bruce’s involvement in a number of trade organizations and the work of Jeff Taylor and Dave Jaggard, who as top Canadian automotive technicians represented the country in several ACDelco International Trouble Shooting Competitions. Jeff won this competition in 2001.

Under Scott, the excellent service, cutting edge reporting and friendly faces continue. So too does the commitment to maintaining a quality customer experience. Businesses like Eccles Auto Service and owners like Scott make Dundas a better place.
Dundas Valley Sunrise Rotary Club thanks Scott and his team for hosting our October 17 Shredding Day. We couldn’t do it without their help.
