downtown spa treatment for your ride

Krenus Kares for my Kar ! 

Amidst a city known for drug related crime, youth homelessness, and whining from the generally entitled, it is easy to turn away from reading our newspapers and just enjoy the real beauty of Vancouver and its melting pot of good people.  And everyday, it is possible to meet everyday people who are working hard, contributing well and quietly earning an honest buck.   



So that's how I would describe Joshua Krenus, a good everyday guy, hardworking, an entrepreneur and all of 26 years of age.   On the street, he may look very much like the former Surrey kid, dressed in black with a baseball cap turned back.  But make no mistake.  He is a full on business guy, understanding customer service, with great communication ... and a convenient location for his car detailing business.  

And unlike most old-school businesses (and all medical offices), he takes appointments by email.  I already liked him before I knew I could engage by smartphone.   So, at 6 am last Friday, I found myself at his underground Easy-Park P3 location well before his opening.  I had a 630 am breakfast meeting at the Convention Centre.  Not to worry ... I tossed the key for my beloved SL55 through his gates ... and emailed him a note.

Joshua got back to me while I was on my first coffee ... along with a note that my car would be ready by 10 am.

It is no surprise that I'm not the only guy who entrusts the young Krenus with his car.   I found mine among a lineup of Porsches and other late model cars.  

Love the service - detailed care and detailed communication.
