About Our Auto Repair Shop in Calgary.

My journey into the auto repair industry started like many others: fixing my own vehicles in the driveway with whatever tools my dad had available. Relying on trusty Haynes manuals and online DIY forums for guidance, the only way I could afford to keep my car on the road was to learn how to be my own mechanic.

After getting my start handling routine oil changes and minor maintenance at a local GM dealership, I quickly advanced through their rigorous apprenticeship program. I graduated with the highest grades in my class and scored exceptionally well on the Red Seal exam, officially launching my career as a fully licensed automotive technician.

Relocating to Calgary a few years later took my mechanical career to the next level. I have built comprehensive experience across every tier of the auto repair industry—from domestic OEM dealership service and national aftermarket chains to servicing high-end luxury vehicles. Today, as a dedicated Calgary mechanic, I specialize heavily in complex automotive electrical systems and advanced drivability diagnostics.

I founded Proper Motor Works when I realized exactly how much needed to be improved within the traditional auto repair shop experience. I wanted to build a modern, transparent facility that puts the customer first and sets a completely new standard for honest auto repair in Calgary.
