People often ask us where the name “Red Bearing” came from.
The easy answer is that it is simply a play on words, something that will stick in people’s memory.
It could also be considered an homage to aircraft design which has had a strong influence in automobile styling.
People also ask us how we got started in this business.
We started in 2006 our home garage. We operated in a tiny building on St. James Street for 5 years before moving to our 5900 square foot shop on Caithness Road in 2012.
In the Fall of 2017, we moved one last time to a beautiful 5 acre property just north of Winnipeg.
But, the interest in British cars was planted by our parents when we were children.
We are out-of-the-box thinkers.
What we do requires extreme problem solving. Sometimes other repair shops send us jobs they have given up on.
We are doing what we love.
That’s right, even if we won the lottery, we wouldn’t quit.
