Sam K.
Owner · Since 2009
Started the place. Still does most of the test drives. Drives a 2014 Tacoma with 280,000 km on it. If you come in on a Saturday, he's the one with a coffee.
How we got here
Five chapters. Same lot.
Drag the timeline. Or just scroll. The story is short because the dealership is small and the rule has always been the same: do right by the next person.
2009
3 cars on a gravel lot
Sam K. quit his job at a Surrey auto mall, rented half a lot from a paving company, and listed three used cars. The first one sold in 11 days.
2014
Bought the lot, paved it
Five years in, we bought the property, paved the lot, and put up the orange sign. Priya joined as the first full-time hire. We started financing in-house.
2019
1,000th car, three bays
Marcus came on to run the service side. We added three service bays and a waiting room. Sold our 1,000th car — a green Civic to a schoolteacher who'd been saving for two years.
2024
4,200 cars, 4.9 stars
Capped inventory at 42 to keep quality up. Hit 4.9 stars on Google with 1,200+ reviews. Stopped advertising on TV. The lot, the website, the people — that's it.
2026
This site. Still here.
Built our own site because the third-party template companies kept upselling us. 17 years on 196A Street, three people, one phone number. We're not going anywhere.
