Michalis Vrachimis
Founder · 1976
The original spanner-in-hand mechanic whose name still sits over the door — and whose insistence on doing the job properly still runs the workshop.
Founded in 1976 by Michalis Vrachimis and re-engineered in 2009 by his son Anninos, our Paralimni workshop has grown into one of Cyprus's leading diagnostic and performance-tuning centres — without losing the family-run feel.
Michalis Vrachimis opened the doors of his Paralimni garage in 1976 with a spanner, a workbench and a reputation he built on doing the job right the first time.
Almost fifty years later, that same reputation — friendly, transparent, technically sharp — runs the workshop today. His son Anninos Vrachimis took over the operation in 2009, fresh from earning two degrees in Automotive Engineering at Teesside University (2010–2015) and time in the workshops of Mercedes-Benz and BMW. He brought with him the latest diagnostic kit, partner-dyno relationships and the engineering training to use them properly.
Today the garage spans more than 700 square metres, runs eleven ramps with full multi-brand diagnostic kit, and is the authorized service centre for Honda, Isuzu and Kia in the Ammochostos area — as well as the main BHP UK agent in Cyprus for ECU remapping. Despina Vrachimis welcomes every client at reception. The car you drive in stays your car: documented, photographed, explained, returned cleaner than you left it.

Client Care
The friendly face at reception. Books your slot, sorts your courtesy car and keeps the coffee going while you wait.
Four principles that show up in everything from a routine MOT to a 700bhp engine build.
Diagnostic data first, repair second. We use oscilloscopes, scan tools and live data — not a flowchart and a wallet.
Photos, videos and clear explanations of every fault and every fix — sent to your phone before any spanner is turned.
OEM parts for Honda, Isuzu and Kia as standard, and the right specification of part on every other job we take in.
Free estimates, courtesy cars, collection & delivery, post-service cleaning — small things that make the big job easier.
The workshop sits in the Paralimni industrial zone, five minutes off the main road. Inside, you'll find dedicated diagnostic bays, multi-brand scanner kit, and the BHP UK ECU remapping tools that make us their Cyprus agent — backed by a trusted partner-dyno facility for performance validation.
Drop in during opening hours — coffee on us. Or book a slot and we'll have your car on the ramp the moment you arrive.
