Our Story

Where Precision Meets Passion in Every Turn

Vintage Workshop

The Man Behind the Wrench

Started this whole thing back when I was knee-deep in a '68 Porsche 912 restoration in my dad's garage. That project took me 3 years, taught me patience, and damn near drove me crazy - but I fell in love with every bolt, every panel, every challenge.

See, I grew up around European iron. My old man had this beautiful Alfa Romeo Spider that he'd baby on weekends. Watching him work on that thing - the precision, the care he took with every detail - that stuck with me. I didn't wanna just fix cars, I wanted to understand them, respect them for what they are.

Fast forward through trade school, couple years at a BMW dealership (learned a ton but hated the assembly-line feel), and some time at a boutique resto shop - I knew I had to do my own thing. Drakarith Hollow started in a 2-bay garage off Hastings. Just me, my tools, and a dream to work on cars that actually matter.

Now we've got a proper shop, a solid crew who actually give a damn, and clients who trust us with their pride and joy. That's not something I take lightly. Every car that rolls in here gets the same attention I gave that 912 all those years ago.

What We Believe

Quality Over Speed

We don't rush jobs to hit some quota. Your car gets done right, even if it takes a bit longer. I'd rather have you wait an extra day than compromise on the work.

Straight Talk

No BS, no upselling stuff you don't need. If something can wait, we'll tell you. If it's urgent, we'll explain why. You deserve to know what's actually going on with your ride.

Respect the Machine

Every car has a story, whether it's a pristine classic or your daily beater. We treat them all with respect because we know what they mean to their owners.

Never Stop Learning

Cars keep evolving and so do we. Regular training, staying current with tech, sharing knowledge with the team - that's how we stay sharp and relevant.
