In need a good shop / a carb rebuild

Hi All,
I am looking for a good shop in the “Burnaby” (or surrounding area) to do some work for me; front suspension, small electrical, brakes. Just little things but I lost my workspace so….

At the moment I am looking for a carb/ rebuild. I

Here’s what it’s going into. I want a good reliable and organized place for any work.


I have a Holley 750 double pumper that’s gummed up.

Recommendations anyone?

I would just do it myself. My first carb rebuild was when I was a 17 year old high school kid with no idea what the insides of a carburetor looked like. It was much simpler than I thought, and that experience led me to be a fairly competent rebuilder. If yours is just gummy then disassembly, cleaning, and reassembly is a straightforward operation.

X2 on the DIY, mainly because I'm one of only a handful of people on the site who know where Burnaby is, and I don't know any shops there.

You might try Gary at Classic and Performance out in Delta. I don't know if he's still in business but if he is, he did some good work for me back in the 00's. Mind you, I had a Chevy then.

Since retiring and moving to the Island, I've had to take on more of my own work.

BTW, welcome to CO.

Come to think of it, I'm sure Gary built a Q-Jet for me (which is still going strong). I bet he knows Holleys at least as well. Google shows the business is still active, so call them: 604-940-9633.

Welcome aboard! The Holley carb is a fairly easy one to rebuild. If you choose to do so I would highly recommend you use the appropriate Holley brand kit for your carb and not one of the less expensive generics! Good luck!
