About Our Team | Quinthar Forgeborn Auto Masters

The Real Story Behind the Name

Look, we get it - "Quinthar Forgeborn" sounds a bit dramatic. But here's the thing: when you're rebuilding a BMW transmission at 2AM because a client needs their car by morning, or when you're diagnosing an electrical gremlin that's been haunting a Mercedes for months... that's when you understand what it means to forge something excellent.

Started back in 2008 in a cramped bay that barely fit two cars, we've grown into what you see today. Not because we had some grand business plan, but 'cause word spread that we actually fix things right the first time.

We've got no time for cutting corners or slapping on cheap parts. European luxury vehicles? They're built to a different standard, and they demand respect. That's what we give 'em - whether it's a classic Porsche restoration or making an Audi run like it should've from the factory.

Every car that rolls out of here is one we'd be proud to drive ourselves. That's not marketing talk - that's just how we operate.

The Crew Who Makes It Happen

We're not gonna lie - we're kinda picky about who works here. These folks have earned their spots.

Marcus Chen

Lead Technician

ASE Master Certified, BMW Factory Trained

17 years in the game. Started with Hondas, fell in love with German engineering, never looked back. If it's got an engine management issue, Marcus'll find it before lunch.

Sarah Kowalski

Transmission Specialist

Red Seal Certified, ATRA Member

Been rebuilding transmissions since 2009. Worked at a Mercedes dealership for 8 years before joining us. She's rebuilt more ZF boxes than anyone else in the GTA, guaranteed.

James O'Connor

Electrical Systems Expert

Red Seal Certified, Bosch Trained

12 years chasing down electrical gremlins. Came from an Audi dealership where he got tired of replacing parts instead of fixing problems. Now he actually solves 'em.

Diego Martinez

Performance Tuning Lead

Certified Tuner, Track Experience

Started modifying his own car at 16, turned it into a career. Spent 5 years at a performance shop before we convinced him to join. Makes engines sing sweeter than they ever did stock.

Andre Beaumont

Brake Systems Specialist

Red Seal Certified, Brembo Trained

9 years focused on braking systems. Yeah, it's specialized, but when you're working on high-performance machines, brakes aren't just brakes anymore. Andre gets that better than anyone.

Priya Singh

Restoration Technician

3rd Year Apprentice, Detail Obsessed

Newest member but don't let that fool you. Came from a body shop with serious attention to detail. When we do restorations, she's the one making sure every nut and bolt is period-correct.

What Actually Matters to Us

Honesty Over Everything

If your car doesn't need it, we won't sell it to you. Simple as that. Yeah, we've probably lost money by not upselling people, but we sleep better at night.

Doing It Right, Not Fast

Sure, we could rush through jobs. But that's how mistakes happen. We'd rather take the extra time and have you driving a car that's actually fixed properly.

Quality Parts, No Compromises

OEM or better - that's our rule. We've seen too many cars come back with failed aftermarket junk. Your European luxury car deserves parts that match its engineering.

Keeping You in the Loop

No one likes surprises when it comes to car repairs. We'll show you what's wrong, explain what needs fixing, and keep you updated. You're the one signing the check, after all.

The Papers That Back It Up

Look, certifications aren't everything - we've met plenty of certified folks who couldn't diagnose their way out of a paper bag. But they do show we're serious about staying current.

•
ASE Master Certified Technicians
Yeah, we've got multiple master techs. It's not required, but we figure if you're trusting us with a $100k car, we should have the credentials.
•
Factory Training from BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Porsche
Our guys have actually been to the manufacturers' training centers. Learned from the engineers who designed these systems.
•
Red Seal Interprovincial Certifications
Canadian standard that means our techs have proven they know their stuff across the board.
•
ATRA Membership (Automatic Transmission Rebuilders)
Sarah's the transmission guru, and ATRA keeps her up to date on the latest rebuild techniques and specs.
•
Bosch Diagnostic Training
Modern European cars are basically computers with wheels. Bosch makes most of the systems, so we learned from them directly.
•
Ongoing Continuing Education
Technology changes fast. We send our techs to training every year to stay sharp on the new stuff.

The Shop Itself

We've got the right tools for the job - all of 'em.

8

Service Bays

Enough room to work without rushing. Each bay's got the lift and tools specific to what we're doing.

Factory

Diagnostic Equipment

We've got the actual factory scan tools. Generic scanners miss half the codes on these cars.

17

Years Established

Started in 2008. Made it through the recession by doing honest work. Still here because we kept that approach.

1000+

Happy Clients

Most of our business is repeat customers and referrals. That tells you more than any ad could.
