The Most Popular European Cars in Vancouver

in European Cars by Mike July 4, 2018April 27, 2020 0 comments

In major Canadian cities like Vancouver, it is not uncommon to see a vast selection of cars o the road made by a number of manufacturers based all over the world. Although it is true that European imports are not as popular on Canadian roads compared to cars made by North American and Asian based manufacturers, there are plenty of examples of popular European cars all over Vancouver streets. Below you’ll find a list of some of the most popular European vehicles found on Vancouver streets today. For each of these vehicles, the auto collision experts at Spotlite Collision are ready to offer top quality repairs. We are fully stocked with a great selection of replacement parts for cars made by Audi, Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagen and more! So, let’s see what are the most popular European cars in Vancouver

Audi

Audi makes a great selection of vehicles that combine luxury features with high-performance engines that offer comfort and performance to drivers. Their most popular models that can be found in Canadian cities in Vancouver include the Audi A4 and A5 sedans, as well as the Audi Q5 SUV. The Q5, in particular, has been among the best selling European cars across Canada, and continues to experience higher sales numbers each year. The A4 and its predecessor the A5 are also continuously growing in popularity. Since being introduced in 2017, the A4 has quickly become Canada’s third best-selling premium passenger car. As European imports continue to grow in popularity, Audi remains a big part of that niche group, so don’t be surprised to see more and more driving on Vancouver roads in the near future.

Mercedes-Benz

Mercedes vehicles have long been among the most popular luxury European imports available in North America. They continue to offer a great selection of cars that are suited to a wide range of driver’s needs. In terms of overall popularity, the Mercedes C Class vehicles which include sedan, coupe and convertible models, stand head and shoulders above the competition. These premium passenger cars are extremely popular among Vancouver drivers. However, the popularity of the Mercedes-Benz GLC, which is an adapted SUV design of existing C Class vehicles, has begun to emerge as a very popular choice among drivers in Vancouver as well as across Canada.

BMW

The BMW 3 Series remains a highly popular option among Vancouver drivers, second only to the Mercedes C class. In recent years, BMW has expanded the number of models offered to North American drivers, which has contributed to a slight downturn in sales of the 3 Series. This has not affected BMW’s overall sales in North America, as the BMW 4 Series has been introduced to a Canadian market that is hungry for a strong selection of high-performance luxury vehicles.

Volkswagen

Easily the most popular choice among drivers looking for quality European manufactured vehicles, Volkswagen brings a number of quality options to the Canadian market. Despite the downturn in sales in the wake of the 2015 diesel emission scandal, models like the VW Golf, Jetta and Tiguan remain popular choices among Vancouver drivers. The Golf offers excellent performance and versatility for drivers, while the Jetta keeps setting the standard for performance and luxury in an affordable European import. Meanwhile, the Tiguan remains a popular option for drivers looking for a spacious vehicle that offers excellent comfort and performance.

When it comes to finding the ideal auto collision service for these popular European import vehicles, there is no better choice for Vancouver drivers than Spotlite Collision. We specialize in providing top quality repairs of a wide range of European cars.

This is the best auto body shop that I've been to and the only that provides the superior customer service. When I had no knowledge about the car process and was going through a lot after my accident, Ramel who mainly works at the front desk took his time to help me and was incredibly patient with my needs. I highly recommend this place to anyone!

Mike and his team are fantastic. I have been taking my vehicles there for many years - each time I come in I am treated fantastically. The work is amazing and it is no wonder why so many dealers contract out to them. I hope I never have to bring another car in for work - but if and when my choice is always Spotlite!

I've brought my cars to Spotlite Collision in Vancouver for the last 13 years and have had great service every time! They are a hard working family owned and operated business that takes care of their clients. I recommend them for any body repair work, or vehicle painting, even window replacements for any car or truck.

Had a great experience with Spotlite, they went over and above. Rommel's service was caring and the paint job was excellent. It was so nice to get into the car and discover that the inside had been cleaned. I will definitely go back and will recommend to anyone needing this kind of service.

Came in for a simple side mirror repair after a hit and run. Every single person I talked to (4 or 5 employees) were kind, courteous, and had me, the client’s, best interest in mind. I hope my car stays pristine, but if anything happens I’ll be going back to Spotlite without a second thought.

Ask for Rommel!!!! One of the most dedicated auto body shop staff I've ever dealth with since alotta terrible ones at terrible shop (considering there are always endless supply of ppl needing their car fixed) in this town. All started when I got there 5 min.s before closing to start my job and he was about to close shop, he went ahead and turn his computer back on to log me in and got me a appointment on the spot.

I had a great experience with Spotlite Collision. It was my first time getting my vehicle repaired so I didn’t know what to expect but Rommel made the entire process easy from the moment I arrived. The Spotlite Collision team did an amazing job with the repairs and the paint job was excellent. Everyone I spoke to was extremely helpful, professional and friendly. They also get extra points for detailing the interior of my car. Highly recommend this shop for all of your European auto body needs!

Very honest and professional people. I love how they never pressure you into spending on things that are not needed in your car. They genuinely tried to help me by giving me solutions that fit my budget. Mike is great and is very knowledgeable. Service was really good , that is why I wanted to post this review.

Excellent service! My sunroof shattered, the first glass place I took it too seemed like they didn't know how to go about the job, told me they didn't know how long it would be, and I never heard from them again. Went to Spotlite, I had a quote within minutes, and a new roof in less than two weeks. Courtesy car was new and immaculate, and my car had been cleaned at no additional cost when I got it back. They did their best to get me the best value for the repair, and quickly, I couldn't have asked for more!

I got into an unfortunate accident that left my Alfa needing a new bumper, paint job and steering and suspension work. Rommel was very reassuring and him and his team did an excellent job. The car feels as if it's new. He was also very patient with my follow up calls. Overall, I am glad I took my car here.

Have taken all my family's vehicles here for the past 15 years. They really seem to care and stand behind the work they do. Had some minor bubble and peel start to form in the clearcoat a couple years after a repair and no problem getting it fixed. Not really their fault, but unfortunately their problem. The environmental protection movement has made car paint change chemistry (to avoid certain solvents that worked MUCH better) in favour of 'water based' paints. We live in Vancouver and our AIR is water based for half the year so, how's that supposed to work!?!

Unfortunately, my car had a collision and its front bumpers and fender molding got dents, so I brought my car to Spotlite Collision. They were very kind and welcomed me warmly. Their work was awesome and very fast. Also, they gave me clear explanations when I asked questions about the car repair. I am very glad that my car looks like new again. I will definitely come back here if my car needed a repair again in the future. Thank you very much!

I brought my car in for an estimate after a collision, after 20 mins, they returned my car fixed. They required no parts—their team managed to reverse the dents, pop out the fender & repair the gaping side & …. then refused to charge me! Extremely professional well-spoken staff & clean, cool, comfortable waiting room. I’ve lived in Vancouver my entire life & dealt with countless autobody shops, this one is the best.

My family and I were so happy with our Spotlite experience. First, they were really nice, and helpful, when booking an appointment. Secondly they offered me their own company minivan or Rogue as a courtesy car. A vehicle this size was needed to accommodate our family of 5 (a few carseats), but in the past a different body shop required going through a car rental agency, as well as paying an upgrade fee for a larger vehicle. Thirdly, I asked to pay for a little scratch on my bumper to be painted while they were completing the ICBC claim, and they said they were happy to do that bit for free. Finally, they got the work done within a day or 2, when previously it had taken another body shop a week. So they are very good at what they do, make it very easy to get the work done, and are just a wonderful, honest, salt of the earth family run business. Oh, and they gave me a Spotlite reusable grocery bag as a treat when I left :)

I cannot recommend this business enough. They have truly gone above and beyond in their customer service and care. I have taken my car here both times it needed repairs after an accident and will be using them for any future issues! Highly recommend.

Always great service and work. Came in for a claim that required paint and body work, and the paint matching was outstanding. They also detailed the car before returning, which is a plus, and provided a loaner while they did the work. Second visit to this location, and haven't had a bad experience.

Brad Kasselman

Fantastic experience working on an ICBC claim with Spotlite. They were thorough, responsive, and helped in all necessary areas. We often are quick to complain about bad service, but this service was terrific and deserves to be written about accordingly. Thank you Mike and team for excellent service!

Had my vehicle there several times over the years and they really took the pressure off of me and my car looked perfect when I picked it up and they provided a courtesy car for me

I walked in to Spotlite Collision for an inquiry. The receptionist welcomed me immediately and directed me to an estimator. We walked to my vehicle, he evaluated it and returned to his office. I was given a quote with availability at the time. Very professional.

I was refereed by VW and my issues (front bumper and fender) were dealt with in the most professional, helpful and courteous manner. Thanks to Mike and everyone at the shop.

Mike and his team have been looking after all of my vehicles for over 15 years. Their quality of work is consistently top tier. Everyone I know or come across that needs any sort of body work gets sent their way with no hesitation and all become clients for life. There’s a reason why they’re booked out for months sometimes. Definitely worth the wait rather than “trying out” another shop.
