Our Story

Welcome to Downes Automotive, where our passion for cars and commitment to the Maple Ridge community drive everything we do.

A Humble Beginning

In 2009, Downes Automotive was born from the vision and expertise of Trevor Downes, a seasoned mechanic with a simple yet powerful goal: to offer Maple Ridge reliable, high-quality auto repair services with a customer-first approach. Starting in a modest garage, Trevor’s dedication quickly set Downes Automotive apart, building a reputation for excellence that drew a loyal following.

Growing with Our Community

As word spread about our dependable services, Downes Automotive began to grow. By 2012, the increasing demand led us to move to a larger facility, allowing us to expand our offerings. We added state-of-the-art vehicle diagnostics, precise wheel alignments, and a comprehensive range of tire services. This growth enabled us to meet the diverse automotive needs of our customers while staying true to the high standards that had become our hallmark.

A Heart for Maple Ridge

Our connection to the Maple Ridge community runs deep. We believe in giving back to the community that has supported us from the start. That’s why we actively participate in local events, sponsor youth sports teams, and support various charitable causes. Our commitment to the community isn’t just about business—it’s about building lasting relationships and making a positive impact.

Innovating for the Future

At Downes Automotive, we understand that staying ahead in the automotive industry requires more than just experience—it requires innovation. In recent years, we’ve embraced advanced diagnostic tools and the latest repair techniques to ensure we continue to provide top-tier service. We’ve also expanded our capabilities to include specialized services like computer programming and air conditioning repairs for both 134a and 1234yf refrigerants, meeting the evolving needs of our customers.

Looking Ahead

Our journey from a small garage to one of Maple Ridge’s leading automotive service providers is a testament to our dedication to quality, integrity, and community. As we continue to grow, our commitment remains the same: to deliver exceptional automotive services that our customers can rely on, all while giving back to the community we’re proud to be a part of.

Thank you for making us your trusted automotive partner. Here’s to many more years of driving together.
