Founded by lifelong automotive professionals
Frank Funaro and Alain Beauchamp have worked around cars since they were young. Frank grew up around the trade because his father owned a garage, while Alain worked at Canadian Tire before going into business. They founded Pneus et Mécanique St-Laurent in 2000 to provide honest, high-quality service.
