ABOUT ME

Hi I’m Rose and I’m the Owner/Operator of Tool Box Auto Inc. I have been in the automotive industry for over 20 years and am a Red Seal Certified Automotive Technician. I moved to Canada in 2012. After working in automotive shops in the Sea to Sky I moved to Vernon in 2026. I started my path in the automotive industry with Audi in the UK, to this day Audi/VW products along with other German brands remain my niche. After spending the last 11+ years in independant garages however my knowledge and skill set is extensive across all makes and models.

Outside of the shop I race rally as part of the Canadian Rally Championship and Western Canadian Rally Championship in a Subaru Impreza Prepared Class car, winning the 2024 WCRC Championship in P4WD. I am also the Regional Director for Rallysport in BC where I volunteer a lot of time to the sport here on the west coast
