Straightforward service, built on trust.
Iron Horse Automotive is a locally owned automotive repair shop in New Minas, Nova Scotia. Owner Steve Rafuse operates the garage and works directly on customer vehicles.
We believe automotive service should be simple: diagnose properly, quote up front, and do the work right the first time. We don't inflate service checklists or pressure you into unneeded maintenance.
From routine oil changes and tire services to custom exhaust fabrication, rocker panel rust repair, mechanical overhaul, and small gas engine service, the work here is hands-on and accountable.
