A team of experienced mechanics dedicated to honest service and fair pricing
Our Story
Deep Cove Auto & EV was founded on a simple principle: automotive service should be honest, transparent, and fairly priced. Too many shops take advantage of customers who don’t understand their vehicles.
We built our business differently. Our team includes former Tesla mechanics who bring specialized EV knowledge, combined with decades of traditional automotive experience. This unique blend allows us to service everything from classic cars to the latest electric vehicles.
Located in North Saanich, BC, we’ve become the trusted choice for customers who value straight talk and quality work. We explain what your vehicle needs, why it needs it, and give you options. No pressure, no upselling—just honest advice.
What we stand for
Our commitment to you goes beyond just fixing cars
Experience you can trust
Our team brings together diverse expertise from various backgrounds in the automotive industry. Several of our mechanics previously worked at Tesla service centers, giving us insider knowledge of EV systems and diagnostics.
Combined with our traditional automotive experience, this means we can handle anything from a 1995 Honda Civic to a 2024 Tesla Model Y with the same level of expertise and care.
We invest in ongoing training and the latest diagnostic equipment to stay current with rapidly evolving automotive technology. When you bring your vehicle to us, you’re getting service from mechanics who genuinely care about doing the job right.
