^{EV LAB Victoria: Proudly Canadian, Supporting Local, and Keeping Politics Out of Our Garage}

For over 40 years, Rand Automotive has been a trusted name in Victoria, BC, providing honest, high-quality automotive service. With the launch of EV LAB Victoria, we are taking that same dedication into the future by specializing in electric and hybrid vehicle maintenance and repair. But what truly sets us apart? Our commitment to supporting our community, keeping Canadian money in Canadian hands, and making sure your car, no matter where it was built, gets the service it deserves.

Why Support Local? Because It Matters

Let’s face it, Canada doesn’t have a major domestic automaker anymore. But that doesn’t mean we should let all our hard, earned money get funneled into foreign corporations that treat Canada like an afterthought. Every time you bring your EV or hybrid to a local business like EV LAB Victoria, you’re keeping skilled jobs, expertise, and economic benefits right here in our community.

We go the extra mile to work with Canadian-owned vendors whenever possible. While some parts must come from global suppliers due to industry limitations, our focus is always on supporting homegrown businesses. So when you choose us, you’re not just making a smart decision for your vehicle, you’re investing in the future of local business and the strength of our economy.

Your Car Is Not a Political Statement

It’s an odd time in the world of vehicle ownership. Once upon a time, driving a truck meant you might enjoy country music, and driving an EV meant you were an environmentalist. Now? A Tesla in the driveway can lead to a political debate at the dinner table, and that’s just ridiculous.

The truth is, people buy vehicles for all kinds of reasons, budget, technology, efficiency, or simply because they like the way it drives. Lately, Tesla owners in particular have found themselves caught in the crossfire of political opinions, judged unfairly for a purchase they made based on the best available options at the time. But let’s be real, telling someone to sell their vehicle just to make a statement is both wasteful and financially irresponsible. The better solution? Keep your car, maintain it properly, and make a meaningful shift by choosing to support local businesses instead of the automobile manufactures based outside of Canada.

That’s where we come in. Whether you drive a Tesla, a Ford Lightning, a Chevy Bolt, or any other EV or hybrid, EV LAB Victoria is here to provide expert service—without the side of political baggage. We believe that good people drive all kinds of cars, and what truly matters is how we support each other as a community.

A Better Alternative to Dealerships

Beyond keeping business local, we also offer something dealerships can’t: service that works for YOU. We understand the demands of families, professionals, and everyday life, so we provide flexible scheduling, clear communication, and a personal touch that big corporations simply can’t match. And yes, we can maintain your vehicle’s warranty requirements without the long wait times, unnecessary upselling, or impersonal service.

At EV LAB Victoria, we’re not just about fixing cars, we’re about keeping our community strong. We’re proudly Canadian, proudly local, and proudly independent. Thank you for choosing to support a business that values honesty, quality, and hometown service.

Together, we can drive the future of transportation forward, right here at home.
