The Faces Behind the Wrenches
We're not your typical shop that treats every car like it's just another oil change. Been working on European imports since way back, and honestly, there's nothing else we'd rather be doing.

Serviced AnnuallyHow We Got Here
2008 - Started in a Small Bay
October
Look, it wasn't glamorous at first. Just me, a single bay in an industrial park, and a beat-up BMW that someone said "couldn't be fixed." Spent three weeks on that thing, learned more than any manual could teach. Word got around pretty quick after that - turns out people really want someone who actually cares about getting it right.
2012 - Brought on the Crew
March
Can't do everything yourself forever, right? Found a couple guys who actually knew their stuff - not just book learning but real hands-on experience. Marco came from a Porsche dealership, said he was tired of rushing through jobs. Sarah joined us from a restoration shop, brought skills I didn't even know we needed. That's when things really clicked.
2015 - The Big Move
July
Moved to the Industrial Way location. Five bays, proper lifts, diagnostic equipment that doesn't make you guess. Finally had the space to take on restoration projects - always wanted to do that. First full resto was a '72 Alfa Spider that'd been sitting in someone's barn for 15 years. Took us eight months but man, seeing it fire up again...
2018 - Performance Tuning Focus
September
Got our hands on some serious tuning software and dyno equipment. Started seeing what these European engines can really do when you know what you're working with. Not just slapping on parts and hoping - actual data-driven tuning. Built a reputation for squeezing power without sacrificing reliability. That's the sweet spot.
2022 - Expanded the Team Again
January
Brought in specialists for transmission work and brake systems. These aren't just "techs" - they're people who geek out over gear ratios and rotor metallurgy. Yeah, we're that kind of shop. Also finally got an apprentice program going. Someone helped me learn this trade, felt right to pass it on.
2025 - Still Learning, Still Growing
Present Day
Seventeen years in and honestly, every car still teaches us something new. We've worked on everything from classic Jaguars to the latest AMG builds. Got customers who've been with us since that first bay, and that means more than any certification ever could. We're not the biggest shop in Vancouver, but we're the one that'll treat your ride like it matters - because it does.
How We Roll
Straight Talk
No BS, no upselling stuff you don't need. If it's fine, we'll tell you it's fine. If it's gonna be a problem in six months, we'll tell you that too. You decide what makes sense for your situation.
Proper Repairs
We fix things the right way, not the fast way. Sometimes that takes longer, sometimes it costs a bit more. But you're not coming back in three months with the same problem, and that's the point.
Actual Care
We get it - your car isn't just transportation. Whether it's your daily driver or your weekend toy, we treat it like it belongs to us. Because in a way, while it's here, it kinda does.
Keep Learning
Cars change, tech evolves, new models come out. We stay on top of it - training courses, factory updates, figuring out the quirks of new systems. Can't stay good at this if you stop learning.
