Our Story

Where passion for European engineering meets honest craftsmanship

What drives us

Look, we're not here to sell you stuff you don't need. Been doing this for years and honestly? The best part's when a customer comes back just 'cause they trust us. That's what keeps the bays full and the coffee pot running.

We've seen some real basket cases roll through those doors, but there's something special about bringing a car back to life - especially the European ones. They've got character, y'know?

2012

The Beginning

Started out in a two-bay garage with nothing but a toolbox, determination, and way too much coffee. Back then it was just me and my buddy fixing Volkswagens after hours. Word spread pretty quick once folks realized we actually knew what we were doing under the hood of these German machines.

2015

Expansion & Specialization

Moved to our current spot on Boundary Road - six bays and room to breathe. This's when we really doubled down on European imports. Got tired of seeing dealerships charge an arm and a leg for basic services, so we made it our mission to offer that same expertise without the ridiculous markups.

2018

Performance Tuning Division

Added performance tuning 'cause honestly, we were already doing it on our own cars after hours anyway. Invested in proper dyno equipment and diagnostic tools. Now we're not just fixing 'em - we're making 'em faster, smoother, better. That's where the real fun is.

2021

Team Growth

Brought on three more techs who actually give a damn about the work. Each one's got their specialty - one guy's a wizard with transmissions, another lives and breathes electrical diagnostics. Makes a huge difference when you've got people who care about getting it right the first time.

2025

Today & Tomorrow

We're still that same shop that started in a cramped garage, just with better equipment and more experience. Still doing what we love - keeping European cars running like they should, and helping enthusiasts get the most out of their rides. The day this stops being fun is the day we hang up the wrenches.
