Our Story & The People Behind It

We're not just wrenches and diagnostic tools - we're a bunch of European car enthusiasts who turned a passion into something real.

How We Got Here

It wasn't always this polished, trust me. Started small, made mistakes, learned a ton, and here we are.

2012 - The Beginning

Started in a cramped garage bay with just me and a buddy who knew his way around a BMW better than anyone I'd met. We had more ambition than square footage, that's for sure.

2015 - Expansion & Specialization

Moved to Marine Drive and doubled our bay space. By then, word got around that we actually knew what we were doing with European vehicles - Audis, Mercs, Porsches, the whole lineup. Got our first proper diagnostic equipment too.

2018 - Building the Team

Brought on three more techs who actually gave a damn about doing things right. Not just parts-swappers - real diagnosticians who could trace an electrical gremlin through a wiring harness without losing their minds.

2021 - Performance Tuning

Started getting requests for ECU tuning and performance mods. Invested in the right software and training because half-assing a tune is how you turn a customer's pride and joy into an expensive paperweight.

2025 - Today

We're pretty much the go-to spot in North Van for European vehicles. Still learning something new every week though - these modern cars don't make it easy on us, but that's what keeps it interesting.

The Team

Meet the folks who'll actually be working on your car. No corporate fluff here - just real people who know their stuff.

Why We Do This

Look, there's easier ways to make a living than crawling under cars all day. But when you actually fix something that three other shops couldn't figure out, or when a customer picks up their car after a tune and you see that grin - that's the stuff that keeps us showing up.

European vehicles are complex. They're finicky, sometimes frustrating, and the parts ain't cheap. But they're also brilliantly engineered when you understand what the designers were thinking. That's what we try to do here - actually understand the system, not just throw parts at problems.

We're not the cheapest shop around, and we're fine with that. Quality diagnostic work takes time, and proper parts cost money. But we'll always shoot straight with you about what needs doing now versus what can wait.
