How We Got Here
It wasn't some grand plan, really. Just a bunch of guys who couldn't stand seeing European cars getting butchered by shops that didn't get 'em.
The Garage Days
Started in a cramped two-bay shop off Queen Street. Just me and Marco, armed with a couple laptops and way too much coffee. We'd spend nights figuring out why some BMW wouldn't talk to us through the OBD port. Those early days taught us patience - and that German engineers have a twisted sense of humor.
Word Gets Around
Turns out people actually notice when you fix their car right the first time. Who knew? We outgrew that little spot faster than expected. Moved to Danforth Avenue with four bays and brought on Sarah - best diagnostic tech I've ever worked with. She can hear a failing wheel bearing from across the shop.
Getting Serious
Invested heavily in proper equipment. Not the cheap stuff either - we're talking factory-level diagnostic tools, alignment racks that cost more than most cars we work on. Yeah, it hurt the bank account, but you can't half-ass European performance work. Added transmission specialists and expanded into performance tuning because our clients kept asking.
Leveling Up
COVID was rough for everyone, but we came out of it with a renewed focus. Renovated the whole facility, upgraded ventilation, added a proper waiting lounge. Brought in Jamie who specializes in Porsche and Audi performance systems. The team grew to eight full-timers, all certified, all passionate about what they do.
Today & Tomorrow
We're not the biggest shop in Toronto, and that's fine by us. What we are is precise, thorough, and honest. We've worked on everything from classic Alfa Romeos to brand-new Taycans. The tech changes, the platforms evolve, but our approach stays the same - treat every car like it's our own, explain everything in plain English, and don't cut corners. Ever.
The People Behind the Wrenches
Look, we're not gonna bore you with corporate bios. These are real folks who've spent years getting grease under their nails and arguing about the best way to bleed a brake system.
