Campbell River Auto Center

I would like to take this opportunity to share a little bit about my husband and I so you know who you are entrusting your vehicle with, and where you are spending your hard earned money at. Pat Berrevoets moved to Campbell River in Grade 5 and has lived here ever since except for a short stint in Victoria where he realized he wanted to come back and start an apprenticeship with Tyee Chev. He had worked as a clean up kid for many years before that and they were happy to have him on board. At the time I think it might have been called Mark Hylands. He graduated at the top of his class in 2002! Since then he has worked at both Tyee Chev and Starlitt Automotive where he gained a wealth of knowledge on all makes and models. He seems to be given a lot of those jobs that have already been to one or two shops where nobody can quite figure out what is going on or how to fix it. I think he is a mechanical genius, those are my words not his, and I can picture his cheeks blushing once he discovers this :) I know how excited he is about this venture and he is really looking forward to fixing people's vehicles right the first time! Other ways you may know Pat is from his strong involvement within the Campbell River Soccer Association where he has been coaching for the last 8 years. This year was extra busy for him as all 3 of our girls are now in soccer and he coached all of their teams! He has also coached soft ball for two years when our oldest was involved and he plays slow pitch twice a week. Last but not least he has been coaching the Campbell River Wrestling Club for about 12 seasons now. He is an amazing hands on Dad, a fantastic coach and a wonderful husband, I am so proud of him and all that he does. As for me I was born and raised in CR and have only ventured as far as Oyster River and Black Creek :) I am now living on the street I grew up on and our kids are going to the same school I went to as a child. I will continue to raise our girls so you probably won't find me in the shop very often until they are a little older. I also have a small birthday party/ special events business called Party Mama's where I do glitter tattoo's and hair feather extensions, you may have seen me through out the community. My favourite thing about my business is talking with the kids for a few minutes because they say the most hilarious things! I also love the look on their faces when they see their feather or tattoo for the first time. The joy is infectious and I can't wait to do our Grande opening so I can meet our future customers sweet, smiling children, there will be free tattoo's for everyone! Stay tuned for more info :)
