Berends Automotive

Well, it's a long story...(ok, not too long).

Berends Automotive's humble roots stretch far back to 1984.

The Berends family originally built the shop back in 1984 , and opened in 1985. It was their goal to provide services to locals in the Osgoode area.

In April, 2005 Jason Berends and his wife Robin took over the family business and have been operating ever since.
