ABOUT NEXARYN STRONGHOLD

How We Got Here

Started in a cramped two-bay shop with nothing but wrenches, diagnostic tools, and way too much coffee. Now we're North Vancouver's go-to spot for European imports that need someone who actually gets them.

2012

The Beginning

Two mechanics, one dream, and a lease we probably couldn't afford. Started focusing on what we knew best - German and Italian imports. Spent more time under hoods than anywhere else, honestly.

2015

Performance Division Launch

Got our hands on proper ECU tuning equipment after way too many requests for power upgrades. Turns out folks wanted their BMWs and Audis to actually move. Who knew?

2018

Expansion & Modern Facility

Moved to our current spot on Marine Drive. Six bays, climate-controlled, and actual space to walk around. Added transmission specialists to the crew because those ZF gearboxes aren't gonna fix themselves.

2021

Master Technician Certifications

Entire team completed manufacturer training programs. Yeah, we actually went back to school. Those modern European systems don't mess around, needed to stay sharp.

2023

Advanced Diagnostics Lab

Invested in factory-level diagnostic equipment. When someone rolls in with a check engine light that's stumped three other shops, we're usually the ones who figure it out.

Today

Still Learning, Still Wrenching

Over a decade in, and we're still treating every car like it matters. Because it does. Your Porsche, your daily driver Volkswagen, that weekend Alfa - they all get the same attention from us.

What Drives Us

Look, we could throw some corporate jargon at you, but that's not really our style. Here's what actually matters to us when you bring your ride in.

Precision Over Speed

We don't rush jobs. European vehicles have complex systems that need proper attention. If it takes an extra day to do it right, that's what we'll do. Your car's gonna outlast a quick fix anyway.

Straight Talk

No BS, no upselling stuff you don't need. If your brake pads have another 10k in them, we'll tell you. If something's about to fail catastrophically, we'll tell you that too. Simple as that.

Specialist Knowledge

We eat, sleep, and breathe European imports. That weird noise your Audi's making? Probably heard it before. Check engine code that makes no sense? Give us twenty minutes with the diagnostic computer.

Built to Last

Everything we do comes with a solid warranty. Not because we have to, but because we stand behind our work. If something we touched goes wrong, we'll make it right. No questions asked.

Performance Minded

Whether you're chasing track times or just want better throttle response, we get it. Performance tuning isn't just about numbers - it's about making your car feel right for how you drive it.

Community First

Most of our clients come from referrals, and that says something. We've worked on the same cars for years, watched project builds come together, and helped folks keep their European rides running strong.

Ready to Experience the Difference?

Whether it's routine maintenance or a complex performance build, we'd love to work with your European ride. Drop by the shop or give us a shout.

The Team Behind the Tools

We've got eight full-time techs, each with their own specialty. Some guys are wizards with electronics, others can rebuild a transmission blindfolded. One of our crew members has been tracking BMWs for fifteen years and brings that experience to every performance job.

Everyone here's got manufacturer certifications, but more importantly, they've got real-world experience. The kind you get from actually turning wrenches day in and day out, not just from a textbook. That's the difference between reading about a problem and knowing how to fix it.
