Automotive Repair
Our certified technicians handle all European vehicle repairs in-house using factory diagnostic tools. Specializing in Audi, BMW, Volvo, and Volkswagen models, we combine 55 years of experience with ongoing technical training to ensure precision repairs. Our comprehensive services cover engine systems, electrical components, and complex computer diagnostics.
Vehicle Inspections
We offer multiple inspection options including mandatory Mechanical Fitness Assessments and our proprietary 85-point seasonal inspection. These detailed evaluations identify potential issues while providing maintenance recommendations. Our inspections meet Alberta's Out of Province and insurance requirements with documented checklists for customer transparency.
Preventative Maintenance
Our maintenance programs focus on extending vehicle lifespan through scheduled services. From oil changes to transmission flushes, we use OEM and quality aftermarket parts with warranties. The program prevents costly repairs while maintaining manufacturer specifications for optimal performance and safety.
Tire Services
We provide tire sales, installation, and storage solutions for all-season, winter, and summer tires. Our technicians mount and balance up to 22" wheels while offering TPMS diagnostics. Seasonal tire storage packages start at $99 per season with secure facility storage.
Software Updates
Our diagnostic equipment receives annual software updates to support the latest vehicle technologies. We perform ECU programming for engine, transmission, and safety systems, along with key fob programming. These updates ensure vehicles operate with the manufacturer's current software specifications.

Alone this morning while I wasn't happy with the repairs I believe The Weeknd make a compromise and both come out of this really well I'm referring to Tony

Friendly prompt service, seems reasonably priced, very thorough inspection sheet, waiting room couches weren't terrible, the coffee was well received. They even passed out some Christmas cheese, 2 thumbs up. Will be back for more work when it's needed for sure.
