COMPANY HISTORY
Founded by Ryan Johnson, Barbarian Motor Works began thanks to Ryan’s passion of fine German vehicles and his involvement in the German automotive industry. Sadly, in early 2020 Ryan passed away. He will be greatly missed by so many people that he touched with his endless generosity and unwavering honesty.
WE CONTINUE ON
Today, Barbarian Motor Works is owned by Ryan's daughter Sarah and son Nathan. Both companies are operated by appointed Manager, Drew Heaver.
WE'VE EXPANDED
Barbarian Motor Works now services all European automobiles including BMW, Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, Mercedes Benz and Land Rover.
All vehicles come with a B.C. mechanical safety inspection
Every car Barbarian Motor Works sells is repaired by our team of professionals that truly appreciate the craftsmanship of European vehicles. Our clients trust in our commitment to quality and our high level of integrity. Any prior issues inherent to the vehicle are dealt with before it is sold to its new owner.
“I bought a BMW M3 from Ryan 6 years ago. Highly recommended! Honest work at an honest price” – Peter C
“We purchased our latest "summer toy" from Ryan at Barbarian Motor Works. Throughout, Ryan has been a pleasure to deal with, his honest, no BS approach is refreshing in the world of used car sales and he quite clearly a euro-car enthusiast!” – David M
All vehicles come with a B.C. mechanical safety inspection and 4 wheel alignment. We also offer servicing on all vehicles at our facility. We truly are Salmon Arm’s One Stop Shop!
VEHICLES FOR SALE
General overview of vehicles we have for sale
Barbarian Motor Works is a licensed auto dealer in the province of BC, dealer license #30868. We have both a dealer license and an auto wrecking license which enables us to be able to purchase both rebuildable salvage and dismantle salvage from ICBC. We select a series of vehicles that interest ourselves due to certain coolness factors and concentrate on them for a period of time to become proficient and cost effective with a stock of rebuilders and parts donor cars.
SALVAGE VEHICLES
We put the ‘Rebuilt’ back into rebuilt salvage
While rebuilt salvage vehicles typically have a questionable reputation, at Barbarian Motor Works we pride ourselves on ensure every vehicle sold is of top quality. All salvaged vehicles have minor damage. Every vehicle receives complete cosmetic repairs, mechanical repairs and inspection, new brakes and new tires. Most important to us is our customer's trust and confidence.
