Serving Burnaby
We opened our doors in New Westminster in 2011, then moved to Byrne Road in Burnaby after five years. Marcelo Giunto and Richard run this shop on a simple principle: tell customers what they actually need, not what makes us the most money.
We've built our reputation one honest diagnosis at a time. Customers come to us for second opinions after other shops quote them thousands for unnecessary work — and we save them money by telling the truth. That's why reviewers call us "the most amazing honest business people" they've ever met.
We specialize in transmissions and 4x4 systems, but we handle everything from oil changes to pre-purchase inspections. No job is too small, and we treat every vehicle like it's our own. Located steps from Byrne Road in Burnaby, we're the shop Lower Mainland drivers trust when they need it done right.

Marcelo and his mechanics are just the most amazing honest business people I have ever come across. Their diagnostics and fair pricing are amazing! Saving money to many clients!
Richard and Marcelo are professionals and have exceptional customer service. They helped me organize a tow when I didn't know what to do, and needed a car right away. They always do a thorough check when I need to take my car into the shop, and they are always honest and reliable. They do not upsell
Best shop in the lower mainland by far
I had such a great experience at Marcelo's! Took a car I was considering buying there for a pre-purchase inspection and they were so friendly and helpful. Gave me honest straightforward advice and multiple written reports. It's difficult finding a mechanic you can trust and I immediately felt comfortable and cared for at Marcelo's!
