FROM ONE LIFT
TO TEN BAYS.
SUSTAINED BY
EXCELLENCE.
Apex Forge Auto was founded in 2007 by Marcus Velasquez, a third-generation mechanic who left a dealership job frustrated by the industry's culture of upselling, corner-cutting, and treating customers like invoice numbers.
He opened our original two-bay shop on Industrial Pkwy with one mission: treat every car as if it were your own. Word spread fast. Within three years, we expanded to six bays. Today, we operate one of Toronto's largest independent auto repair facilities — 10 service bays, 14 certified technicians, and the same founding principles that started it all.
We've never taken a factory deal, never opened a franchise, and never let volume goals compromise the quality of a single repair. That's not a marketing line — it's the reason our average client has been with us for over 9 years.
