The View: From an 800 Sq. Ft. Shop to Toronto’s Premier Luxury Customization Hub

In 2020, The View officially opened its doors in Vaughan with one mission: to raise the standard of luxury automotive customization. What began in a modest 1,250 square foot shop has since grown into a premier destination for car enthusiasts and high-end vehicle owners across the GTA.

Roots in Skyline Motors

For co-founder Frank, the passion for cars started long before The View. Growing up around his father’s business, Skyline Motors, Frank absorbed not just technical skill but an understanding of what car ownership means to people, pride, individuality, and the desire to stand apart.

By 2020, Frank recognized a gap in the Toronto market. Luxury and exotic vehicle owners had no local shop that truly specialized in high-end customization with attention to detail, style, and performance. The View was created to fill that void.

Brothers in Business: Frank and Fab

Frank didn’t start this journey alone. His lifelong friend Fab had been by his side since day one, sharing the same passion for cars and vision for building something bigger than just a shop. Together, Frank and Fab combined their strengths: technical expertise, creative vision, and a relentless drive to deliver builds that speak for themselves.

Their partnership is what sets The View apart. It’s not just a business venture, it’s a friendship and a shared dream that has evolved into one of Toronto’s most trusted names in luxury automotive customization.

The Early Days: Small Shop, Big Vision

The View’s first home being just 1,250 square feet was humble, but it was packed with ambition. Every square inch was used to bring ideas to life: custom wheels, paint protection, ceramic coating, performance upgrades, and suspension tuning.

Even in those early days, one thing was clear: customers weren’t just coming for service. They were coming for a vision of what their cars could become.

Growth Into Toronto’s Luxury Automotive Scene

From those small beginnings, The View has expanded into a fully equipped facility capable of handling everything from:

• Paint Protection Film (PPF) and ceramic coating for long-term preservation.

• Custom wheels and suspension fitment for one-of-one builds.

• Performance upgrades including exhausts, forced induction, and drivetrain reinforcements.

• Luxury detailing and interior refinements that match the level of the vehicles themselves.

• Security upgrades like immobilizers for Toronto’s growing theft problem.

Over the past few years, The View has had the privilege of working on some of the GTA’s most incredible vehicles, from exotics like Lamborghinis and Ferraris to luxury SUVs, performance sedans, and even celebrity builds like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s G63.

A Hub for Toronto Car Culture

The View isn’t just a shop, it’s a community hub for car culture in Toronto. The team regularly connects with enthusiasts, hosts collaborations, and provides expertise that blends performance, style, and protection.

What started as a dream shared between two lifelong friends has grown into a destination where Toronto’s luxury car owners know they’ll find craftsmanship, honesty, and innovation.

Looking Ahead

From its roots at Skyline Motors to its present-day facility, The View has always been about more than cars. It’s about trust, relationships, and the pursuit of perfection.

As Frank and Fab continue to expand services and push into new areas of customization, their mission remains the same:
Every build should be bold, refined, and truly one-of-one.
