About Us

It has always been Teknotik's essential focus to provide our customers with the best possible performance automotive parts shopping experience anywhere in Canada for Honda and Acura vehicles. Backed by knowledge and experience, we aim to provide our clients with honest and customer specific information and recommendations. Every car is different, every owner is different; and we recognize and respond to you uniquely. From our humble opening in March of 2004, this dream has developed from a premier Toronto based storefront to later include a tuning and installation facility and now grown to focusing on our expanded customer based across Canada from coast to coast.

Teknotik is proud to announce the opening of our brand new online web store! With the most current design and functionality, we have developed a unique vehicle specific parts lookup tool based on our years of experience and outstanding Honda and Acura knowledge. No more looking through pages and pages of parts to find the one for your car. We have spent hours photographing and indexing the parts we sell to provide you with the most accurate product specifications and detailed images, so you can see exactly what you are buying, not just another Google image. With integrated communication tools for contact and support, live chat and a new 1-800 toll free line we have established a first class infrastructure to ensure we will always maintain the same level of individualized client support and service.

Being based in Toronto, we are proudly Canadian and are here to focus on Canadian Honda and Acura enthusiasts. We aim to provide our clients with the most competitive prices available in the country, while being assured they are not being subjected to exchange, duty, customs, brokerage, tariffs and additional shipping costs so commonly known when buying in the united states or overseas.

For your convenience, you can order on-line, by telephone, or by dropping us an email. Our site will continue to grow, with added products and categories as well as useful information that will help you to get the most out of your parts. If you don’t see what you are looking for or can’t find it online, please contact us!

OUR STORY

Teknotik was founded and began selling online through auction sites and online communities. Specializing in used JDM engines and specialized JDM parts and wheels and bringing a fresh approach to the truth surrounding imported parts helped established Teknotik strongly into a market with very low levels of service and high risk for buyers. Many customers to this day are still driving their cars with engines purchased from us online in our first year in business.

We Gained office and warehouse space in Toronto and began accepting local walk in customers paired with a webstore in our first efforts into e-commerce.

Community involvement quickly became a key in our success at local meets and events like Darknights Nationals, Canada’s largest car show in its time. The community building continued with Founding of JDMrides.ca Canada’s largest JDM inspired forum, a community which still actively operates online to this day with nearly 30,000 users.

Teknotik moved into a larger retail store to accommodate the growing new parts business just down the street from the old store. Our fleet of sponsored vehicles grew and so did the number of events we attended, including Total Sport Compact Ottawa and Importfest. We took the reins of location less grassroots honda-tech.com meets and turned them into Canada’s largest annual gathering of Honda and Acura vehicles. We raced and participated in the Canadian Sport Compact Series Season with Sponsored Driver Chris H in his S2000 and wheelman brothers Kurt and Tyler G. We became a Canadian Distributor for Megan Racing and Hybrid Racing as K swap first became popular, and had one of Canada’s early K swaps under our belt with Neil W’s well known Silverstone hatch.
