Who We Are

Real mechanics, real results - no marketing fluff

Obsidrix Riftborn team

How We Got Here

2019 - The Beginning

Started in a cramped single-bay garage with nothing but a scanner, some wrenches, and way too much coffee. Worked mostly on tuner cars that other shops wouldn't touch.

2020 - Growing Pains

Upgraded diagnostic equipment and picked up our first lift. Word started spreading after we figured out an intermittent misfire issue that three dealerships couldn't crack.

2022 - Expansion

Moved to our current Industrial Way location. Three bays, proper alignment rack, and actual space to breathe. Brought on two more techs who actually know their stuff.

2024 - Now

Invested in dealer-level scanning tools and performance tuning software. We're doing chassis dyno testing and custom ECU mapping that most indie shops can't handle.

2025 - The Future

Planning to add hybrid and EV diagnostics capabilities. The industry's changing and we're staying ahead of it.

What We're Actually About

Look, we're not gonna feed you some corporate mission statement that sounds like it came from a committee meeting. Here's the real deal.

We fix cars the way they're supposed to be fixed - thoroughly, honestly, and without cutting corners. If your vehicle needs something done, we'll tell you straight up. If it doesn't, we'll tell you that too.

Started this place because too many shops either don't have the equipment to properly diagnose modern vehicles, or they're trying to upsell you on stuff you don't need. We invested in the real tools - not the cheapest ones, but the ones that actually work.

Performance tuning isn't just about making more power (though that's fun). It's about understanding how all the systems work together and making smart modifications that won't grenade your engine two months later.

  • Oscilloscope & Multimeters - For tracking down electrical gremlins
  • Smoke Machine - Finding vacuum & EVAP leaks that hide from visual inspection

The People Behind The Wrenches

Marcus - Lead Technician & Owner

Been turning wrenches since I was 16. Spent years at dealerships learning factory procedures before going independent. Specializes in European performance cars and complex electrical diagnostics.

Devon - Performance Specialist

The turbo guy. If it's boosted, Devon's probably worked on it. Came from the racing scene and knows what actually works versus what just looks good on forums.

Jamie - Diagnostic Tech

Our electrical wizard. Give Jamie a wiring diagram and a multimeter, and there's no problem that'll stay hidden. Loves the challenge of intermittent issues that make other techs cry.

Bottom Line

We're not the cheapest shop in Vancouver, and we're fine with that. Quality diagnostics and proper repairs take time and the right equipment. But you won't get jerked around here.

Bring us your tricky problems, your performance builds, or just your regular maintenance. We'll treat your car like it's ours - because honestly, that's the only way we know how to work.
