Who We Are

We've spent years figuring out what Calgary winters do to vehicles - and honestly, it's brutal out there. But that's exactly why we're here.

Our Story Ain't Fancy, But It's Real

Started this place because I got tired of seeing folks get stranded in minus-thirty weather with dead batteries and seized engines. Calgary winters don't mess around, and neither do we.

The shop grew from a two-bay operation where we'd work until midnight during tire changeover season to what we've got now - a proper facility with the tools and know-how to handle whatever winter throws at your ride. We've seen it all: frozen brake lines, batteries that quit at the worst possible moment, and undercarriages that look like they've been through a salt mine.

What sets us apart? We actually live here. We drive in the same conditions you do. When we recommend something, it's 'cause we've either done it to our own vehicles or wish we had before learning the hard way.

How We Got Here

2012

Opened the Doors

Two bays, three guys, and way too much coffee. Started with basic repairs and oil changes while we built up our reputation.

2015

Expanded the Shop

Added four more bays and invested in proper diagnostic equipment. That winter was brutal and we were slammed - good problem to have.

2018

Winter Specialization

Decided to really focus on what Calgary needs most - cold weather prep and winter reliability. Got certified in all the major cold-climate systems.

2021

Full Service Facility

Built out a complete undercoating station and added advanced computer diagnostics. Now we can handle pretty much anything that rolls through the door.

2025

Still Going Strong

Over a decade later and we're still here, still fixing cars, still making sure folks don't get stuck in the cold. That's the goal every single day.
