About Drakarion Vault

Securing Excellence Under Every Hood

Workshop

Our Story

Look, we didn't start Drakarion Vault because we wanted another generic shop on the block. Back in 2018, a few of us were sick of seeing European beauties getting half-hearted treatment at places that just didn't get it. We're talking about cars that deserve more than a quick oil change and a pat on the back.

Started in a small bay with a couple of lifts and way too much coffee, we've grown into Vancouver's go-to spot for folks who actually care about their rides. Our name? Yeah, it's a bit dramatic - "vault" because we treat your car like treasure, and "Drakarion" because... well, it sounded cool and we're nerds about performance machines.

We've worked on everything from track-prepped M3s to vintage Porsches that've seen better days. Each one gets the same attention - no shortcuts, no "eh, good enough" moments. That's just how we roll here.

What We Stand For

No BS Approach

We'll tell you straight up what needs fixing and what can wait. Your wallet doesn't need to suffer for problems that aren't there yet.

Euro Specialists

We live and breathe BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Porsche, and the rest. Got the factory tools, the knowledge, and yeah - probably owned one ourselves.

Built on Trust

Half our customers come from word-of-mouth. That's not an accident - it's what happens when you actually give a damn about the work.

Marcus Chen

Marcus Chen

Lead Technician & Co-Founder

ASE Master BMW Certified

Been turning wrenches for 15+ years, mostly on German iron. Started in my dad's garage tearing apart E30s as a kid. Now I get to do it professionally - though I still own that first E30. She's mostly original... mostly.

When I'm not here, I'm probably at the track or arguing about which oil is best on forums.

Porsche Certified Tuning Expert

Performance tuning's my thing. Got into it through autocross and never looked back. If you want more power but also want your engine to last, I'm your person. No sketchy tunes here.

I daily a modded 911 Carrera, so yeah, I practice what I preach. She's quick.

Diagnostics & Electrical

Mercedes Certified Electrical Systems

The electrical gremlins? That's my specialty. When everyone else is stumped by weird sensor faults and intermittent issues, I'm the guy they call. Modern cars are basically computers with wheels, and I speak their language.

12 years in the game, mostly with Mercedes and Audi. Love a good diagnostic challenge.

Restoration & Body Work

I-CAR Certified Paint Specialist

Restoration work's an art form, and I've been perfecting it for 18 years. From frame straightening to making paint match perfectly, I handle the stuff that brings classics back to life. Every restoration tells a story.

Currently restoring a '73 911S in my spare time. It's taking forever but it'll be worth it.

I'm the translator between tech-speak and regular human language. Been in automotive service for 8 years and I actually understand what the techs are talking about, which helps when explaining what's going on with your car.

My job's keeping you in the loop without the confusion. No surprises, no runaround.
