What We Do Best

Twenty years wrenching on European imports taught us one thing - there's no substitute for knowing these machines inside and out. Here's how we keep your pride and joy running like it should.

European Vehicle Diagnostics & Repair

Look, the check engine light on a BMW isn't the same animal as one on a Honda. We've got factory-level scan tools for all the major European brands - not just generic code readers.

I remember this E46 M3 that came in with what three other shops called "transmission failure." Turned out to be a $180 sensor. That's why proper diagnostics matter - saves you thousands and gets you back on the road faster.

  • BMW, Mercedes, Audi, VW, Porsche specialists
  • Factory-grade diagnostic equipment
  • Electrical system troubleshooting
  • Module programming and coding

Typical Range: Diagnostic fee $145-195, applied to repairs

Custom Solutions

Performance Tuning & Upgrades

Whether you want more grunt for track days or just wanna feel that turbo spool a bit harder on your daily commute, we'll build something that fits your driving style and budget.

Had a guy with a Golf R who wanted "stage 2" because his buddy had it. After talking about how he actually drives the car, we went with a different setup that gave him better mid-range pull for the street. He's way happier than if we'd just thrown parts at it.

  • ECU tuning and remapping
  • Turbo and supercharger installations
  • Exhaust system design and fabrication
  • Cold air intakes and intercoolers
  • Dyno tuning available

Typical Range: ECU tunes from $850, full builds $3,500+

Passion Projects

Classic Car Restoration

This is where things get real interesting. We've brought back everything from '70s Porsches to '80s BMWs that folks thought were too far gone. It ain't quick and it ain't cheap, but damn if it isn't rewarding.

Currently working on a 1973 Alfa Romeo Spider that sat in a barn for 15 years. Owner's dad bought it new. These projects take time because we document everything, source proper parts, and do it right. Check our restoration gallery to see what I mean.

  • Complete frame-off restorations
  • Period-correct parts sourcing
  • Engine and drivetrain rebuilds
  • Interior refurbishment coordination
  • Modern reliability upgrades (if wanted)

Typical Range: Quote-based, partial restos from $8,500, full builds $35,000+

Save Money

Preventive Maintenance Programs

Here's the thing - European cars don't fall apart, they just need proper attention at the right intervals. We'll set you up with a maintenance plan that keeps small problems from becoming wallet-drainers.

Most expensive repair I've seen was a $12,000 engine replacement that could've been avoided with a $400 cooling system service. We track your vehicle's service history and shoot you a reminder when it's time for the important stuff.

  • Customized service schedules
  • Multi-point inspections with photos
  • Fluid analysis and testing
  • Priority booking for members
  • 10% discount on scheduled services

Typical Range: Annual plans from $650, quarterly visits $1,800/year

Expert Work

Transmission & Engine Rebuilds

When your dealer quotes you $15k for a new engine or transmission, hold up. Sometimes these can be rebuilt for way less, and honestly, they'll probably last longer than a replacement would anyway.

Just finished rebuilding an N54 engine from a 335i with bearing issues. Owner was quoted $18k for a dealer replacement. We rebuilt it with upgraded bearings for under $8k and it'll outlast the original. Not every situation's the same, but it's worth exploring.

  • Complete engine disassembly and rebuild
  • Transmission overhauls (manual & auto)
  • Machine shop coordination
  • Upgraded components when available
  • 24-month/40,000km warranty

Typical Range: Transmission rebuilds $2,800-6,500, engine rebuilds $5,500-14,000

Safety First

Advanced Brake & Suspension Systems

Your brakes and suspension aren't just comfort items - they're what keep you pointing in the right direction when things get sketchy. We don't mess around with subpar parts or shortcuts here.

See a lot of cars with cheap brake pads that dust like crazy and make noise. Good pads cost maybe $50 more but last twice as long and actually work when you need 'em. Same deal with suspension - we use quality stuff that's actually gonna hold up to BC roads.

  • Big brake kit installations
  • Coilover setup and corner balancing
  • Air suspension systems
  • 4-wheel alignment with specs sheets
  • Brake fluid flush and bleeding
  • Control arm and bushing replacement

Typical Range: Brake service $350-1,200, suspension work $800-4,500
