01 — The shop

Dealer-level without the dealership games.

We're the independent European specialty shop North York drivers call when they want their BMW or Audi handled like a dealer would — minus the upselling, the factory-line turnover, and the service-advisor script.

Same dealer-level diagnostic tools. Same OEM parts. A technician who actually remembers your car the second time you pull in.

  • Programming & coding Full ECU/module programming for BMW, Audi, Mercedes & VW — from key coding to adaptive learn.
  • Performance tuning ECU remapping, custom exhaust fabrication, and bolt-on upgrades with a dyno-honest approach.
  • Body & structural repair Decade-plus experience restoring vehicles after accident or structural damage.
