Our Garage Story
Where Passion for Cars Meets Professional Craftsmanship
It started in a two-bay shed behind my father's house. I had a lift, a MIG welder, and an old truck that needed a new exhaust. Word got around the neighborhood real fast—people appreciated honest work done right, at a fair price.
By 2015, we moved into our current location on Swanson Road. We've since expanded to four bays, added a dedicated fabrication shop, and assembled a team of mechanics who treat every vehicle like it's their own. That original ethic? Still here. No upselling, no shortcuts—just solid exhaust work.
Whether you're driving a daily commuter with a rusted-out muffler or a weekend project car needing a custom cat-back system, we've got the tools, the space, and the know-how to get it done right.
