OUR STORY
A FAMILY BUILT
ON DOING IT RIGHT
Our honesty, integrity, quality workmanship, and fair prices are what set us apart.
At Gearheadz, our passion is transmissions... but our priority is getting you back on the road.
SINCE 2011
FOUNDER & MASTER TECHNICIAN
CHRIS STANZEL
Chris's love for cars began as a teenager, before he even had a driver's license. At sixteen, he rebuilt the engine in his 1972 Pontiac T37 Lemans. After earning his ASE certification and Transmission Specialist apprenticeship in 1990, Chris spent over 22 years at a major Ottawa shop before opening Gearheadz in 2011 — built on old-fashioned values: quality workmanship, honest service, and treating customers like family.
AUTOMOTIVE & TRANSMISSION TECHNICIAN
CONNOR STANZEL
Connor grew up in the shop, learning the trade after school alongside his father. Following family tradition, he earned his Automotive Service Technician certification.
Today, Connor leads the day-to-day operation — carrying the same old-fashioned values Chris instilled, while bringing cutting-edge diagnostics and modern technique to every job.
