Introduction

Understanding the journey behind a trusted service provider can build confidence in choosing the right partner for vehicle care.

Since 1980, we have been at the forefront of Volkswagen and Audi performance, providing expert service and high-quality parts to customers across Canada.

How PG Performance Began

PG Performance started as a small workshop founded by Paul Sr. Gerkrath, a German national with a deep love for cars. Paul’s journey began in his parents’ garage, where he honed his skills working on European vehicles. His passion for precision and engineering led him to establish PG Performance in 1980.

A Family-Run Business

Today, PG Performance remains a family-owned business, with Paul’s son, Paul Gerkrath Jr, running the company. We continue to import high-quality OEM and aftermarket parts from Germany, ensuring that our customers have access to the best components available.

Our philosophy is simple: We only sell products we trust and use ourselves.
