How We Got Here
Look, I'm not gonna feed you some polished corporate story. Started wrenching on my dad's old BMW 2002 in our garage when I was 16 - that thing taught me more about patience than any classroom ever did. Spent way too many weekends covered in grease, but man, hearing that engine purr after weeks of troubleshooting? Nothing beats it.
After years working at dealerships where they'd just throw parts at problems instead of actually diagnosing 'em, I got tired of the assembly-line approach. European cars deserve better than that cookie-cutter treatment. They've got personality, quirks, and yeah - they need someone who actually gives a damn.
So we opened up shop here on Boundary Road. No fancy investors, no corporate backing - just a stubborn belief that Vancouver's European car owners deserved a place where their vehicles would be treated right. Where we'd take the time to do it proper instead of rushing to the next job.
2018
The Beginning
Opened our doors with two bays and a dream. First customer was a '98 Porsche 911 that three other shops had given up on. Took us a week, but we figured it out. Word started spreading after that.
2020
Expansion & Certification
Added four more bays and brought on certified techs who actually knew their stuff. Got our Bosch certification that year too - invested in proper diagnostic equipment instead of guessing games.
2022
Performance Division Launch
Started offering ECU tuning and performance work. Turns out a lot of folks wanted more out of their rides without compromising reliability. We get it - that's the sweet spot.
2024
Classic Restoration Program
Launched our restoration services for classic European vehicles. There's something special about bringing a vintage Alfa or Mercedes back to life - connecting the old-school craftsmanship with modern reliability.
2025
Today
Still here, still obsessed with getting it right. We've grown, sure - but we haven't lost that attention to detail that started this whole thing. Every car that rolls in gets the same treatment, whether it's a routine service or a full rebuild.
Credentials That Actually Matter
We're not just throwing certifications on the wall to look impressive. Each one represents real training, real expertise, and real commitment to doing this work properly.
Bosch Certified
Master-level diagnostic certification for European vehicle systems. We speak the language of your car's computer.
ASE Master Technicians
Our lead techs hold multiple ASE certifications. Not just one guy who knows everything - we've got specialists.
Factory Training
Regular training updates from BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Porsche, and Volkswagen. We stay current with the latest tech.
Red Seal Certified
Interprovincial standards certification. Means our work meets the highest Canadian automotive standards.
The Crew
We're a pretty diverse bunch, honestly. Ex-dealership guys who got fed up with quotas, younger techs who grew up tinkering with Euros, and a couple specialists who've forgotten more about transmissions than most people will ever know.
