Our Story & The People Behind It

Yeah, we're a bit obsessed with European cars... and we wouldn't have it any other way

How We Got Here

Started in a small garage with just a lift and a dream. Now we're North Vancouver's go-to spot for anything European that needs some TLC.

2018
The Beginning

Opened our doors with two bays and a whole lot of enthusiasm. First customer? A '98 BMW with more issues than we could count. We figured it out though.

2020
Expansion Time

Added four more bays and brought in diagnostic equipment that honestly cost more than my first house. Worth every penny when you're chasing down electrical gremlins in a newer Audi.

2022
Certified Excellence

Got our ASE Master Certification and became an authorized service partner for several European brands. Turns out doing things right gets noticed.

2024
Community Roots

Partnered with local driving clubs and started hosting monthly car meets. Nothing beats coffee and talking shop with folks who actually appreciate a well-tuned suspension.

2025
Still Rolling

Seven years in and we're still learning something new every week. That's what keeps it interesting - European cars never get boring.

Meet The Crew

We've got a solid team here. Everyone's got their specialty, but we all pitch in when things get interesting. That's how you figure out the really weird problems.

Lead Technician

Marcus Chen

Lead Technician & Owner

Been wrenching on BMWs since I was 16. Started with an old E30 that taught me patience - lots of it. Now I get to do this every day and call it work.

Sarah Kowalski

Senior Diagnostic Technician

Electrical systems are my jam. If your car's doing something weird and nobody can figure out why, bring it over. I love a good puzzle, especially when it involves 47 different control modules.

David Torres

Transmission & Drivetrain Specialist

Transmissions don't scare me anymore - took about 10 years to get there though. DSG, ZF, Aisin... I've rebuilt 'em all. The trick is understanding what they're trying to tell you before they completely give up.

Service Technician

James MacDonald

Service Technician

I'm the brake guy. Sounds simple but when you're dealing with carbon ceramics on a Porsche or the latest ABS system, there's always something new. Also handle most suspension work - nothing beats a properly sorted chassis.

Why We're Different

Look, we're not gonna pretend we're the only shop that can work on European cars. But here's the thing - we actually like doing it. We don't treat your BMW like it's just another car that needs an oil change. We get why you bought it, and we respect that.

Plus, we've invested heavily in the right tools and training. That fancy diagnostic scanner? It's basically another team member at this point. And when something stumps us (yeah, it happens), we've got connections with other specialists and aren't too proud to ask for help.

What You Can Actually Count On

No fluff here - just what we stand behind

24-Month Warranty

Most repairs come with a 2-year/40,000km warranty. We fix it right the first time, but if something goes sideways, we'll make it right. No runaround, no fine print nonsense.

Honest Communication

We'll tell you what actually needs fixing and what can wait. Got a $3000 repair quote? We'll break down every single line item and show you why it's necessary. Or if it's not, we'll say that too.

Quality Parts

OEM or quality aftermarket - your choice. We'll explain the difference and let you decide. Either way, we're not slapping cheap knockoff parts on your car and calling it good.

Our Shop

The Celvarion Difference

Loaner Cars Available

Yeah, we've got a couple loaners. Nothing fancy but they run fine and beat sitting in our waiting room all day.

Digital Inspections

We'll text you photos and videos of what we find. No need to come down and crawl under your car - we've already done that part.

Upfront Pricing

You'll know what it costs before we touch anything. Hate surprises? Us too.

Real Expertise

We eat, sleep, and breathe European cars. Your Audi isn't a mystery to us - it's basically Tuesday.
