Have you ever experienced taking your car to a mechanic, paying the high cost of repairs, only to find your vehicle still doesn't work properly? Have you ever felt cheated? It can be difficult to choose a mechanic and we understand why - we often receive referrals from people who feel they have been under-served elsewhere. That is why Connors Fleet Service Ltd.

We estimate we have repaired more than 40,000 vehicles over the course of doing business in Lethbridge and area including individual owners, businesses and fleet vehicles. Our business principles value continued education for mechanics, mentoring apprentices with appropriate oversight, using modern diagnostic equipment and a customer-centred approach. We continue to remain passionate about our family-run business after more than 43 years in the automotive repair industry.

Three Generation Family Business

Bill and Vi Connors were the original owners of CFS, but have extended ownership to their son, John Connors. The team has also welcomed John's son, Kyle Connors, as an apprentice for a three-generation family business. The Connors have been life-long residents of the Lethbridge region. Consequently they have a relationship with many people and businesses, and encourage reference requests.

Bill and John Connors are master mechanics with more than 70 years of combined experience in the automotive industry. They are known as problem solvers for clients as well as dealerships and specialize in a broad range of diagnostics for older and newer vehicles. They have also apprenticed and mentored Cody Campbell, now a journeyman mechanic to help meet your needs.

Three Generations Racing Cars

Bill, John and Kyle Connors have all been race car enthusiasts. Bill Connors became well known on the B.C., Southern Alberta, Saskatchewan and northern Montana racing circuit during the 1960s and early 70s. John Connors raced from 1988 - 2001 on the southern Alberta & northern Montana racing circuits. Kyle Connors raced sprint cars from 2010-11 on Lethbridge's Bridge County Speedway for two seasons before it closed. Below are a few media clips from John Connors racing career.
