Our Story

Honest auto repair in Parksville since 2012.

When you find a mechanic you trust, you stick with them. That's the kind of relationship FTP Services has been building with Parksville drivers since 2012 with one straight answer, one fair quote, and one job done right at a time.

How it started

FTP Services opened its doors in 2012, founded by Jay Olson on a simple idea: treat every vehicle like it's your own and every customer like a neighbour. 

What started as one mechanic who cared about getting it right has grown into the shop Parksville drivers count on today.

What makes us different

Auto repair has a reputation problem, surprise charges, vague explanations, and getting talked into work you didn't need. FTP was built to be the opposite.

We tell you what's actually wrong, what needs doing now versus what can wait, and we never start a job you haven't approved. No jargon, no pressure, no mystery fees. Just an honest answer and a fair price.

Meet the team

FTP Services runs on a small, skilled crew who know these roads and the vehicles that drive them. 

Every tech here takes pride in the work, because in a town like Parksville your reputation is everything and ours is built one repair at a time.

A local shop, through and through

The people we work on cars for are the same people we see at the grocery store, the rink, and the coffee shop down the road. That's not pressure but accountability. It's why we do the job right the first time, and why drivers across Parksville and the mid-Island keep coming back.

That trust shows up in our reviews: FTP has earned a 4.9-star rating from local drivers who know they're getting it straight.

Come see the difference

Got a check-engine light, a strange noise, or a service that's overdue? Give us a call or book online. We'll give you a straight answer and a fair price — same as we have since 2012.
