Mark Bergasse
Founder, Marks Auto Service
Hello there! Mark from Mark’s Auto Service here. I thought I would take a moment to introduce myself and tell you a little bit about our history.
I got started in this amazing Automotive industry at the age of 17 when I started working at a full service gas station [anybody remember those?] It was there, under the supervision of the owners Brian West and Russ Pritchard, that I became an apprentice mechanic. Russ went on to become a great influence in my life, taking the role of instructor, mentor and even father figure. Around the same time in 1982, I met my wonderful wife Sandy, [we recently celebrated 38 years of marriage].
I continued to work at the Shell Station and in 1985 received my Red Seal 310S mechanic’s license. Then in 1990 I left Shell to work for another auto shop until 1995 when I received a phone call from my mentor, Russ.
Russ had come to me with a proposition to open up our own garage, and Marks Auto Service was born. We worked together until 2001 when Russ retired and I became the sole owner, always treating the shop as my 4th child.
The year 2006 marked a new chapter in the Marks Auto Service saga as we moved to our new Wyecroft road location just west of Dorval Dr. We know that the new larger locale will allow us to continue to bring you that old fashion service you have come to expect from me and my team.
Thank you and we look forward to serving you!
