How We Got Here
It's been quite the ride, honestly
2012 - The Beginning
Started in a small garage with just me and a dream. Had this crazy idea that European luxury cars deserved better care than they were getting around Vancouver. My first project was a beat-up '98 BMW M3 that nobody wanted to touch.
2015 - Expanded Facility
Word got around, I guess. Moved to our current spot on Granville Street. Finally had room for proper lifts and diagnostic equipment. Started taking on more Porsches and Audis - those became my specialty alongside the BMWs.
2018 - Performance Division Launch
Got certified for ECU tuning and custom exhaust work. This opened up a whole new world. Customers weren't just coming for repairs anymore - they wanted their cars to perform better, sound meaner. We delivered.
2021 - Classic Restoration Program
Added a dedicated bay for full restoration projects. Nothing beats bringing an old Mercedes or Porsche back to life. Takes time, patience, and a hell of a lot of attention to detail - but man, it's worth it.
2024 - Advanced Diagnostics Center
Invested in top-tier diagnostic equipment that most dealerships don't even have. Modern European cars are basically computers on wheels now. You gotta stay ahead of the game or you're toast.
Today - Still Evolving
We're not standing still. Every day there's something new to learn, some new challenge to tackle. That's what keeps it interesting. Our reputation speaks for itself - but we're always looking to do better by our customers and their rides.
The Crew
Meet the people who make the magic happen
Marcus Chen
Founder & Master Technician
Been elbow-deep in European engines since I was 16. Started this whole operation because I got tired of seeing beautiful machines treated like regular cars. They're not. Each one's got its own personality, quirks, needs. You gotta respect that.
Sarah Rodriguez
Lead Diagnostics Technician
If it's got a computer in it, I can figure it out. Modern cars throw codes like confetti sometimes - you need to know which ones matter and which are just noise. Came from the dealership world, never looked back.
James Patterson
Transmission & Drivetrain Specialist
Transmissions are my thing. Whether it's a slipping clutch or a full rebuild, I've probably seen it before. There's something satisfying about taking apart a gearbox that's been giving up and making it shift like butter again.
Elena Volkov
Classic Restoration Lead
Old cars need patience and respect. Can't rush a proper restoration. I spent years learning bodywork and paint before getting into mechanical. When a classic leaves our shop, it's not just fixed - it's brought back to life properly.
Devon Mitchell
Performance & Exhaust Specialist
I build exhausts that sound as good as they perform. Been fabricating since trade school. There's an art to getting the tone right - too loud and it's obnoxious, too quiet and what's the point? Finding that sweet spot is what I do.
Rachel Kim
Service Advisor & Client Relations
I'm the bridge between you and the shop floor. My job is making sure you understand what's happening with your car without all the technical jargon - unless you want that, then I'm happy to geek out. Been in the auto world for 12 years now.
