– Joel Gregg
Customer Testimonial┃1994 Land Rover Defender
“Chris was always top-notch, polite, courteous. You can tell with the time and effort he puts into his work, how much care goes into it – I respect that and I felt like coming back every time.”
– Scott Hannan
Customer Testimonial┃2006 Maserati Gransport
“Kelowna has no other dealership that would handle cars like this. In fact, I would probably think twice of owning a car like this in Kelowna because I wouldn’t want to keep going to Vancouver or Seattle to get it serviced.”
– Mark Stober
Customer Testimonial┃2003 MINI Cooper
“They could order all of the parts in, got everything in on time and were able to fix my car in two days. I got it back on the Friday before they closed for Christmas holidays. It was fabulous!”
– Erin Hemmerling
Customer Testimonial┃1999 Ferrari 355 F1 Spider

– Barrie Clift
Customer Testimonial┃1997 AC Cobra Replica
“Met Chris and the rest of his team, was really impressed with them. They stripped everything off…new rotors, calipers, hubs; the entire process was machined. Great quality brakes and the price point was good as well.”
– Scott Linttell
