Built on passion for European engineering and a commitment to doing things right the first time
Look, I'll be straight with you - this whole thing started because I got tired of seeing good European cars getting butchered by shops that didn't really understand 'em. Back in 2007, I was working at a dealership, watching customers get hit with crazy diagnostic fees for issues I could've sorted in half the time.
So I took the leap. Rented a small bay in North Van, bought a proper diagnostic setup (cost more than my car at the time), and started doing things the way they should be done. Word got around pretty quick when people realized they weren't getting the runaround anymore.
These days we've got a full team, state-of-the-art equipment, and we're still in the same neighborhood. We've worked on everything from classic 80s BMWs to the latest turbo'd Audis. The tech changes but the approach doesn't - figure out what's actually wrong, fix it properly, and don't charge for stuff you didn't do.
We're not trying to be the cheapest shop in town. We're trying to be the one you trust when your pride and joy needs real attention.
We've got the same scan tools the dealerships use, but without the dealership prices.
Our techs actually go to manufacturer training courses. Yeah, we pay for that ourselves.
We'll show you what's wrong, explain why it matters, and give you options.
Half our team tracks their own cars. We get the performance side of things.

The folks who'll actually be working on your car
Lead Diagnostic Technician
Been with us since 2009. If it's got a check engine light, Marcus will figure it out. Drives a modified E46 M3 that sounds absolutely mental.
Performance & Tuning Specialist
Joined us in 2018 after years at a performance shop. She's the one you want if you're looking to add some ponies. Races a Golf R on weekends.
Master Technician & Shop Foreman
30+ years in the game. Rob's seen it all and can probably fix your car with a paperclip and some duct tape. But we've got better tools, thankfully.
Let's talk about what your car needs. No pressure, no BS - just honest advice from people who actually care.
