“I would encourage any BMW owner to trust AutoTrend for servicing their car.”

Ed Ryder

“I really believe that you and your staff went out of your way to repair my car as quickly, efficiently and thoroughly as possible.”

Ash Rajendra

“I have known Don for the twenty years that I have owned BMWs. During that time I can say that he has given me the confidence to continue the ownership of these fine cars for as long as I have. Don Katsumi was successful as the Service Manager at Beach Auto while they were a BMW Dealer and is presently successful in his new venture. In fact, I still drive from Sudbury to Toronto to service my car with him. Don’s strengths lay in his technical knowledge and his ability to satisfy customer needs.

I will, with no reservation, recommend Don and AutoTrend to any one with a BMW.”

Mike Piela

“Apart from Don's impressive technical/mechanical skills, he is extremely reliable, dependable and trustworthy. His dedication to his job and to his customers is refreshing and guarantees extreme loyalty.”

Timothy S.B. Danson

“Don has always shown the utmost courtesy, energy and intelligence.

I have always been able to rely on him 100%, both for routine demands and in time of "need".”

Richard B. Perren

“The essence of Mr. Katsumi's finesse was his dedication and devotion to both the clients and his commitment to the service of their automobiles for which he exhibited a great passion.”

Glenn A. Smith

“I have continually been impressed at his attention to detail and efforts to ensure that all of his customers, including myself, are well served and advised. His technical knowledge of cars and ability to ensure problems are resolved the first time continues to impress me.”

Ross Sinclair

“My experiences with your team have been outstanding. You have dealt honestly and fairly each time I am in for routine service or repairs. Your advice and guidance with my recent purchase of a second hand BMW was extremely helpful.

I would encourage any BMW owner to trust AutoTrend for servicing their car.”

Ed Ryder

“Don has an outstanding knowledge of the cars and has a unique ability to communicate with customers in a way that is easily understood. He is quick to put his finger on the likely source of any problem and has always ensured that the job was done properly and to the customers full satisfaction.”

David A. Rattee

“I was delighted with the service I received by you and your staff. Offering great service is one thing, but coupling that with value is another. You not only showed me great service but also excellent value. I really believe that you and your staff went out of your way to repair my car as quickly, efficiently and thoroughly as possible.”
