Our Story


I started tinkering with motorcycles at a very young age. In Junior High or Gr.7, I had the opportunity to join Trade School to become an Automotive Technician. I was fortunate to work in a Texaco Service Station, allowing me to continue as an Apprentice. In 1986, I started my own shop that you know and love today: Kirkham Automotive Ltd. I have a passion for education and my trade; I am a proud supporter and was involved in the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) Advisory board for many years.
I have built a team of seasoned and qualified technicians and, between us, boast a wealth of experience. We have over 228 years of combined experience!
I look forward to meeting you! Make an appointment with us today.
