Our Story

Precision Engineering, Dominant Performance

We're not just another shop that works on European cars - we live and breathe this stuff. Started by gearheads who got tired of seeing owners getting the runaround at dealerships.

Our Journey

2018
The Beginning

Started in a single bay garage - just me and my business partner who'd spent years wrenching at high-end dealerships. We saw how owners were paying crazy money for basic work and figured there had to be a better way.

2019
Expansion & Equipment

Moved to our current spot on Marine Drive with six proper lifts. Invested heavily in factory-level diagnostic equipment - the real stuff, not knockoffs. You can't cut corners when you're dealing with BMW's DME or Porsche's PSM systems.

2020
Master Certifications

Got our team certified across multiple European manufacturers. Bosch Master certification, ASE L1 Advanced Engine Performance, and manufacturer-specific training for BMW, Mercedes, Audi, and Porsche. Worth every penny and hour spent.

2022
Performance Division Launch

Added our performance tuning department with a proper dyno setup. Started doing ECU calibration and custom tuning work. Nothing crazy - just helping these cars perform the way the engineers actually intended before emissions and lawyers got involved.

2025
Today

Running at full capacity with a team of specialists who actually give a damn about these cars. We've built relationships with owners who trust us with their pride and joy, which honestly means more than any certification on the wall.

Meet The Team

We're a pretty tight crew here. Everyone's got their specialty, but we all pitch in when things get interesting. No egos, just people who know their way around a timing chain or a turbo swap.

Marcus Chen
Marcus Chen

Lead Technician & Co-Founder

Started tearing apart Hondas in high school, went to trade school, then spent eight years at a BMW dealership. Got tired of the corporate nonsense and started this place with Derek. Specializes in engine diagnostics and electrical gremlins. Can usually be found elbow-deep in an N54 or arguing about proper torque specs.

Derek Thompson
Derek Thompson

Master Technician & Co-Founder

Came up through Porsche and Audi dealerships. Has this weird sixth sense for transmission issues - can usually tell what's wrong just by the way a car shifts. Handles most of our performance tuning work and loves setting up suspension geometry. Drives a modified 996 that he'll talk your ear off about.

Sarah Mitchell
Sarah Mitchell

European Systems Specialist

Joined us in 2020 after working at a Mercedes specialty shop in Vancouver. She's scary good with STAR diagnostics and can navigate Mercedes' wiring diagrams faster than most people can Google stuff. Also handles a lot of our brake system work and pre-purchase inspections. Takes zero nonsense from anyone.

James Park
James Park

Performance Tuning Specialist

Younger guy but don't let that fool you - he's got a computer science degree and grew up racing. Handles all our ECU tuning and dyno work. Can write custom maps and actually understands what all those fuel trim numbers mean. Also really good at explaining technical stuff to owners without being condescending about it.

Tony Rossi
Tony Rossi

Senior Technician

Old-school guy with 30+ years under his belt. Worked on everything from classic Alfa Romeos to modern Audis. His specialty is basically anything mechanical that's being stubborn. If there's a bolt that won't come out or a bearing that needs pressing, Tony's your man. Keeps us all honest with his experience.

Lisa Chen
Lisa Chen

Service Advisor

The person who actually keeps this place running smoothly. Manages scheduling, handles customer communication, and somehow keeps track of all our parts orders. Used to work in hospitality so she's great at translating what owners are describing into what we actually need to fix. Also not afraid to tell us when we're being too technical.

How We Work

Look, we're not gonna pretend we're the cheapest option out there. But here's what you get - honest diagnostics, quality parts, and work done right the first time. No upselling, no made-up problems, no mystery charges.

We use OEM or better parts because that's what these cars deserve. When we say something needs fixing, we'll show you why. Got a check engine light? We'll actually diagnose it instead of just throwing parts at it and hoping.

And yeah, we get it - European cars can be expensive to maintain. We'll always give you options and let you know what's critical versus what can wait. Your car, your call. We just make sure you've got the real info to decide.
