Our Story
The people behind the precision
How We Got Here
Started in a cramped two-bay garage back in 2012, and honestly? We had no idea we'd end up where we are today.
It was just me and my buddy Marcus, fresh outta tech school with more enthusiasm than sense. We were doing oil changes and brake jobs during the day, then staying up till 3am tuning our own rides. Word got around that we could squeeze some extra horses outta pretty much anything with an ECU, and before we knew it, we had performance junkies lining up.
The Timeline
The Beginning
Two guys, one dream, and a lease we could barely afford on Automotive Drive. Started doing basic maintenance while building our rep on the side with custom tunes.
Went All-In
Dropped nearly everything we had on a proper dyno and some serious diagnostic gear. Scared the hell outta us financially, but it paid off. We could finally back up our work with real numbers.
Expanded the Crew
Brought on Sarah and Devon - both certified techs who actually give a damn about the work. Not just wrench-turners, but people who get why someone would care about shaving half a second off their 0-60.
Upgraded Everything
Moved into Unit 12 with four full bays and finally had room to breathe. Added transmission work and suspension services 'cause we were tired of sending our customers elsewhere for good work.
Where We're At
Still in Toronto, still obsessed with performance, still staying late to dial in that perfect tune. We've just got better coffee now and equipment that would've blown our minds back in 2012.
What Drives Us
Look, we're not gonna feed you some corporate mission statement here. The truth is, we're car people working on cars for other car people. Whether you're bringing in a daily driver that needs some love or a weekend warrior you're trying to squeeze every last pony from - we get it.
We're the shop that actually cares if your car pulls harder after a tune. The place where we'll spend an extra hour tracking down that weird noise 'cause it'd bug us too. Where we explain what's actually wrong with your car instead of just throwing parts at it and hoping something sticks.
Marcus always says we're not just fixing cars, we're keeping dreams on the road. Sounds cheesy, but he's not wrong. Every vehicle that rolls through here matters to someone, and that means it matters to us.
The Team Today
We've grown to a solid crew of eight techs, each with their own specialties and quirks. Got guys who can make a stubborn transmission behave, specialists who live and breathe ECU mapping, and a parts coordinator who somehow always finds what we need even when it's discontinued.
Everyone here has at least one project car of their own. That's not a requirement or anything, but it tells you something about the mindset. When your own ride is in pieces in your driveway, you understand what it means to trust someone else with your car.
Certifications & Training
We don't just collect these to look good on the wall - though they do look pretty nice. Every cert represents hours of training and keeping up with tech that changes faster than most people realize.

Why We're Different
We're not the cheapest shop in Toronto, and we're okay with that. You're paying for techs who actually know what they're doing, equipment that gives accurate results, and parts that'll last. We've seen too many cars come in after someone else did a "bargain" job that ended up costing way more to fix properly.
What you won't get here: upselling you stuff you don't need, keeping your car longer than necessary, or BS explanations when something goes wrong. We're straight shooters. If we mess up, we own it and make it right. If your car doesn't need work, we'll tell you that too even if it means you drive away without spending a dime.
We're also one of the few shops around that'll work with you if you're doing some of the work yourself. Bring us your project mid-build, and we'll help you finish it right. Need advice on parts before you buy? Give us a call. We're here because we love this stuff, not just to make a quick buck.
