Interior painting recommendations

I am looking for a quick and reasonably priced painter for our very small condo. Drop your recommendations! I can supply the paint, if that will help with the cost.

Winter tires

So, I'm a new driver and I'm planning on heading up north to central BC for a couple weeks in December so I need to switch my all seasons to the studded winter tires

But I've never done it myself, I've switched a flat to a donut, n one time I rebalanced all the tires cause the vehicle at the time was drifting to the left a little bit. But it's been a while since I did that and I kinda want help to switch them over, so I can learn how to do it myself.

I only have the little jack that came w the car, and I haven't even looked at it.

Is there anywhere you would recommend to help me get this done?? I don't know many people in Abby, and I would greatly appreciate the help.

Are there any Forex day traders in Abbotsford want to network? I have been here for a while, but haven’t found anyone with similar interests.

Looking for witnesses to an accident

The accident occurred North bound on Clearbrook road in the right hand lane. It involved a Ford Ranger, a green Toyota and a type of SUV.

I was the driver of the Toyota. I don't remember much. I was told perhaps that I drove into the back of the Ranger but I don't think that's true. Any witnesses please hit my inbox. Thank you

Favourite local-ish small businesses

With postal strikes and amazon delays this holiday season seems like the perfect time to support our local businesses. So what are your favourites?

For me the Book Man is always tops (particularly the Chilliwack location), and Spruce Collective always has great gift ideas, many within a reasonable price range.

Mechanics that are open on weekends?

Hi all, I’m a relatively new resident of Abbotsford and I noticed a lot of auto shops are closed during Sat/Sun.

Does anyone have any recommendations for mechanics that are open on the weekend? Would help since I work Monday-Friday, and most close by 5-6 Pm.

Butterball Turkeys

Has anyone who has visited Superstore Walmart or Costco know if their Butterball turkeys are super cheap? I’ve seen videos where turkeys are 99 cents a pound but I am not sure if it is only in the US. I’m also aware of what is happening online with the company and the turkeys.

Fireworks at 4 in the morning?

Anyone know why someone would light fireworks at 4 in the morning the last 4 days in the Tims st area?

I'm just trying to sleep. There is no good reason to do this, no reason cultural or otherwise. I hope they runs out before someone less forgiving than me finds them.

Abbotsford night life

Hello, I was just wondering if there is anything to do in Abbotsford once it got dark. Is Castle Fun Park open late? Is there anything to do in downtown Abbotsford after 9pm? When do most bars close in Abbotsford? Is there a lot for teens and young adults to do in Abbotsford or is it more a retired town?
