The Crew Behind the Magic
We're not your average wrench-turners. Started this whole thing back when tuning meant more than just plugging in a laptop and calling it a day.
Marcus - Lead Tuner. Been chasing horsepower since '08.
Elena - Electrical guru
Jake - Transmission whisperer
The full squad when we're not elbow-deep in engine bays
15+ Years Combined
500+ Tunes Done
Track Proven Results
How We Got Here
Started in a Single Bay
Honestly, it was just me and Marcus back then, working outta this cramped single-bay spot off Main Street. We'd stay till 2am sometimes, trying to crack weird ECU codes that nobody else wanted to touch. Word spread pretty quick when we got that first Subaru running clean after three other shops gave up on it.
Expanded & Got Serious Equipment
Finally scraped together enough to move into Industrial Way and grab a proper dyno. Game changer. Elena joined us around then - she'd been doing electrical work for dealerships but got tired of their corporate nonsense. That's when we really started pushing into performance territory instead of just fixing stuff.
Track Days Changed Everything
Started taking client cars to Mission Raceway to verify our tunes held up under real abuse. Nothing humbles you faster than watching your work either nail it or fail spectacularly. We learned more in those six months than the previous three years combined. Also met Jake there - he was smoking everyone in a built Civic with transmission work he did himself.
Pandemic Year - Went All-In on Training
When things slowed down (and they definitely did), we used the time to get proper certified in stuff we'd been doing anyway. Got our advanced ECU programming certs, updated all our diagnostic equipment, took some electrical courses online. Came out of it way sharper than we went in.
Full Shop Overhaul
Invested heavily in new diagnostic gear and training. Added a second lift, upgraded our whole electrical bench setup. We can now handle pretty much any modern vehicle's computer system, plus we kept all our old-school tools for the classics that still roll through.
Still Chasing Perfection
We're not the biggest shop in Vancouver, and that's fine by us. What we are is obsessed with getting it right - whether that's diagnosing some weird electrical gremlin or squeezing another 50hp outta your daily. Every car that leaves here has our reputation riding on it, and we don't take that lightly.

How We Actually Work
No BS Communication
We'll tell you straight what's wrong, what it'll cost, and whether it's even worth fixing. Sometimes the honest answer is "sell it and move on" - and we're not afraid to say that.
Time Estimates We Mean
If we say Tuesday, we mean Tuesday. Life happens and sometimes stuff goes sideways, but we'll call you the second we know there's a delay. Your time matters.
Photo Evidence
Found something sketchy under your car? You'll get pics. We're not trying to upsell you - just showing you what we're looking at so you can make the call yourself.
Fix It Right Philosophy
We'd rather do it once and do it properly than have you back here in three months with the same problem. That's not good for you, and it's definitely not good for our reputation.
