So impressed with this place and the wonderful, conscientious staff. Ming Shine north is the extended warranty service depot for the Smart care program set up by dealership with purchase of new vehicle and they did a fantastic job touching up a few deep scratches, assorted paint scrapes, two windshield chips and went out of their way to make sure customers … More were happy. Also they chemically cleaned some brake dust that can cause issues on paint at a deeply discounted rate. And washed and waxed my vehicle for free because it was muddy the day of service and the nearby car wash was too full to get it clean before the paint repair. Five Star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ service. Also my truck looked new when they were done. I will return.

Accommodating and truly premium service with excellent customer care. The staff are professional, knowledgeable, and exceptionally friendly, and they clearly know how to properly care for my Alfa Romeo. I strongly recommend Ming Shine North to anyone looking for high-quality detailing. If you drive a vehicle you take pride in, this is definitely a place … More worth considering. Special thanks to Mark and Sebastian for their outstanding service.

I recently had my 2025 Toyota 4Runner Off-Road Premium fully wrapped with a premium protection film (PPF) at Ming Shine Edmonton North (10575 108 St NW, Edmonton, AB), and the experience exceeded every expectation.
Ming Shine has been proudly serving Edmonton and the surrounding area since 1959, and that legacy of … More trust, consistency, and quality is evident the moment you walk through their doors. Few businesses can boast such longevity, and it speaks volumes about the high standards they have maintained for more than six decades.
Mark and his team handled my vehicle with the utmost professionalism and care. The PPF application was absolutely meticulous—so precise that the cut lines are nearly invisible unless you look for them with great intent. The transformation left my 4Runner not only looking stunning but also protected for the long road ahead. Having this level of craftsmanship backed by a lifetime warranty offers priceless peace of mind.
What also stood out to me was the exceptional value. Their pricing, when measured against the quality of workmanship, professionalism, and warranty support, is more than worth it. Ming Shine is not just about applying protection film—they are about safeguarding your investment and delivering a standard of excellence that has kept customers returning for generations.
In an industry where trust and quality are everything, Ming Shine Edmonton North continues to set the benchmark. Whether you drive a brand-new SUV, a luxury car, or a daily commuter, this is a team you can count on to deliver results that are second to none.
I highly recommend Ming Shine to anyone who wants the very best in vehicle protection. Their history, workmanship, and commitment to customer satisfaction make them a true leader in their field.

I had the pleasure today by visiting Ming Shine Edmonton North as my car needed a little TLC as I got hit by a rock when traveling back from Fort Saskatchewan. The Rock had made a scratch into my paint and it just removed the paint from the metal and I knew I needed to protect the metal before winter. I was referred to Ming shine by Herbers auto body on the northwest side, they said this mark could be professionally taken care of by Ming Shine without the expensive paint removal and respray from conventional paint jobs at a fraction of the price. When I went to Ming shine I was greeted by the manager Taylor who was very helpful and courteous and was able to take care of me right away which made me very happy. The professionalism of this location was very high and they have a great attitude towards their customers while not soaking their wallet with exorbent fees as their prices are very reasonable. They were able to take care of the problem I had on my vehicle and I was very impressed with the service I had received. They not only were able to fix my problem but they also put on a product called Feynlab to protect the area from the elements so that my paint as well as the metal underneath the paint was protected. While I don't let just anyone work on my vehicle I totally trust Ming Shine Edmonton North with any future problems that I may have that they are able to take care of. My hat is off to this location and I know that with their manager doing such a great job with thier customers and putting away their fears in a very positive manner, with the current excellent staff that he has I have no doubt this place will keep on doing very well. Keep up the good work guys and thanks again for taking care of me and my vehicle.

For 1/3rd of the price of replacing the fender they did an incredible job fixing the dent. Christian was up front about how well they’d be able to repair and I couldn’t be happier with the work they did. Honest people. They cleaned my car too.
