What Drives Us
Honestly? It's the challenge. European vehicles aren't your average grocery-getters - they're engineering masterpieces that deserve someone who actually gives a damn.
We've spent years getting our hands dirty with BMWs, Audis, Mercedes, Porsches... you name it. Started because dealerships were charging an arm and a leg for stuff we knew we could do better.
How We Got Here
Started in a Small Bay
Just me and my buddy working weekends on European imports. We'd been wrenching at dealerships for years and got tired of the corporate BS. Figured we could do diagnostic work that actually made sense without charging people $200 just to plug in a scanner.
Word Got Around
Turns out people appreciate straight talk and fair pricing. Who knew? Started getting referrals from folks who were done with dealership runaround. Bought our first proper diagnostic rig - the kind that can actually talk to these complicated German electrical systems.
Moved to Continental Drive
Outgrew the old spot and grabbed this unit in Vancouver. Finally had room for proper lifts and all the specialized tools you need for European work. Added ECU programming capabilities because these newer cars? They're basically computers on wheels.
Expanded the Team
Brought on two more techs who actually know their stuff. Not just parts-swappers - guys who can trace electrical gremlins and understand why a car's doing what it's doing. Also invested in manufacturer-level programming tools because we're not about half-measures.
Where We're At Now
We've built something pretty solid here. Handle everything from basic maintenance to complex electrical nightmares that have other shops scratching their heads. Got the equipment, got the know-how, and yeah - we still actually enjoy figuring out what's wrong with these machines.
