Our Story

Precision Engineering for Your Drive

Glaivornethern team

Built on Experience, Driven by Passion

We've been elbow-deep in European engines since 2010, and honestly, wouldn't have it any other way.

How We Got Here

2010
The Beginning

Started in a small garage with just me, a toolbox, and way too much coffee. Focused on BMW and Audi diagnostics cause that's what I knew inside out from my dealership days.

2013
Expansion Time

Word got around, phones kept ringing. Moved to Marine Drive and brought on two techs who actually knew their stuff - not just parts changers, real diagnostic guys.

2017
Going High-Tech

Invested heavy into factory-level scan tools and dyno equipment. Started offering performance tuning because honestly, these European machines deserve to run right - not just "good enough."

2021
Full Service Shop

Added transmission and electrical specialists to the crew. Now we handle pretty much everything except body work - from Check Engine lights to full rebuilds.

2025
Today

Six bays, seven techs, and a reputation for actually fixing stuff instead of guessing. Still get excited when a tricky diagnostic rolls in - that's when the real fun starts.

What Makes Us Different

Look, there's a bunch of shops that'll work on European cars. Here's why folks keep coming back to us.

Real Diagnostics

We don't throw parts at problems. Got factory scan tools for BMW, Mercedes, Audi, VW, and Porsche. We figure out what's actually wrong before we fix anything.

Experienced Crew

Everyone here's got at least 8 years under their belt. Most came from dealerships where they got tired of the upselling nonsense. They just wanna fix cars properly.

Straight Talk

We'll tell you what needs fixing now and what can wait. No BS, no scare tactics. Your car, your wallet, your call. We just give you the real info.

Certifications & Training

We keep our skills sharp so your car runs sharper. These aren't just wall decorations - they're proof we know what we're doing.
