How We Got Here

2018

The Beginning

Started out in a small two-bay garage with nothing but a scanner, some wrenches, and way too much coffee. Back then it was just me and my buddy Marcus figuring out why a BMW wouldn't stop throwing codes even after three other shops gave up on it. Turned out we loved the challenge more than anything.

2020

Expansion & Equipment Upgrade

Word got around that we could actually fix the weird stuff nobody else wanted to touch. Invested in proper diagnostic gear - oscilloscopes, factory-level programming tools, the whole nine yards. Moved into our current spot on Dundas with six bays and room to breathe.

2022

Performance Division Launch

Customers kept asking if we could make their cars run better, not just fix 'em. So we got into ECU tuning and performance work. Spent months learning the ins and outs, got certified, and now we're flashing ECUs and building custom tunes like it's second nature.

2024

Team Growth

Brought on some seriously talented folks who share our obsession with getting it right. Every tech here actually gives a damn about what they're working on, which honestly makes all the difference when you're elbow-deep in a transmission rebuild at 6 PM.

2025

Today & Tomorrow

We're handling everything from your daily driver's check engine light to full performance builds on track cars. Still love the diagnostic puzzles most - there's something satisfying about tracking down an electrical gremlin that's been haunting someone for months.

What We're About

Not just fixing cars - doing it the right way

Proper Diagnosis

We don't throw parts at problems hoping something sticks. Figure out what's actually wrong first, then fix it once. Saves you money, saves us headaches.

Straight Talk

No BS about what needs doing now versus what can wait. We'll show you the issue if you wanna see it. Your car, your call on how to proceed.

Right Tools

Invested in the good stuff - factory scan tools, proper alignment equipment, quality parts. Makes the job cleaner and the results last longer.

Time Matters

We get that you need your car. Give realistic timeframes and actually hit 'em. If something's gonna take longer, you'll know before it becomes a problem.

Keep Learning

Cars change fast. We're constantly training on new systems and tech. What worked five years ago might not cut it anymore, so we stay current.

Community First

Most of our customers come from referrals, which tells you something. We're part of this neighborhood and plan to stay that way for the long haul.

Stand Behind It

Warranty our work because we're confident in what we do. Something goes sideways? We'll make it right without the runaround.

Actually Care

Sounds cheesy but it's true - we genuinely enjoy figuring out what's wrong with cars. That enthusiasm shows up in the work we deliver.

Why We Do This

Look, there are easier ways to make a living than crawling under cars all day. But there's something about tracking down an intermittent electrical fault that three other shops couldn't find, or getting someone's project car running perfectly after months of work.

Started this shop because we got tired of seeing people get burned by places that either didn't care or didn't know what they were doing. Every car that leaves here is something we'd be proud to drive ourselves.

We're not trying to be the biggest shop in Toronto - just the one you actually trust with your ride. The kind of place where you know the person behind the counter, and they remember what you drive without looking it up.

If you're looking for a shop that'll treat your car like it matters, give us a shot. First diagnosis is always thorough, and we'll walk you through exactly what we found.
