About Us

In the late 1970s, Roy Shand and Sam Amlani were visionary entrepreneurs who recognized a burgeoning gap in the automotive aftermarket. During this time, the traditional neighborhood gas stations equipped with service bays were gradually giving way to self-service gas bars, leaving a significant void in the market. Shand and Amlani perceived this transition as an opportunity for qualified mechanics and enterprising individuals to establish maintenance outlets that catered to the growing needs of car owners. This shift was catalyzed by multiple factors, including the escalating costs of gasoline and a notable surge in the number of cars per capita. With the increasing financial burden associated with both purchasing and maintaining vehicles, there emerged a pressing need for dependable, service-oriented maintenance options that could offer convenience and affordability to the average consumer.
