About Us

Same Owners. Same Standards. 19 Years and Counting.

Sylvan Lake AUTOPRO has been locally owned and operated since 2006. Not many businesses can say that.

Locally Owned Since 2006

Sylvan Lake AUTOPRO was founded in 2006 and remains owned by the same people who started it: Wolfgang Kukowski and Clint and Alaina Gaetz.

Nineteen years. Same ownership. Same commitment.

In an industry where shops change hands constantly—where you never know who's working on your vehicle or whether they'll be around next year—we're still here. Still showing up. Still standing behind our work.

That kind of stability isn't an accident. It's the result of doing things right, treating people fairly, and building a business we're proud of.

High Standards. No Shortcuts.

We don't cut corners. Every repair, every inspection, every service—done right.

Red Seal Certified Technicians

Our mechanics are Red Seal certified—the national standard for skilled trades in Canada. It's the highest credential a technician can hold, recognized across every province.

Quality Parts

We use quality parts—NAPA parts, OEM when required, and products we trust. We don't install cheap components to save a few dollars and hope they hold.

We Stand Behind Our Work

If something's not right, we make it right. Simple as that.

Uncompromising Customer Service

That's not a slogan. It's how we operate.

The auto repair industry has a trust problem. We know that. Studies show 66% of people distrust repair shops—they're worried about being overcharged, upsold, or told they need work they don't.

We decided early on to be different.

You See What We See

Our digital inspection system sends photos, measurements, and explanations directly to your phone. No vague descriptions. No "trust us." You see exactly what we're recommending and why.

No Surprises

We explain what's needed, what's recommended, and what can wait. You decide. We don't pressure. We don't upsell. We give you the information and let you make the call.

Honest Estimates

When we quote a job, that's the price. If something changes, we call you before we proceed. You'll never get a bill that doesn't match what we discussed.

Innovative. Adaptive. Always Improving.

We're not stuck in the past. We've invested in technology that makes your experience better.
