April, 1982: Michael von der Burg opened Eurasia in a small warehouse in Edmonton s southern industrial area. In addition to Michael, the business had one other mechanic, two tool boxes and a floor jack. Honesty and customer service were the cornerstones to Eurasia s early success. Business was brisk as word spread of Eurasia s attention to detail, helped along by Michael s experience with European cars and his down-to-earth personality. No one could have predicted the early success of Eurasia and so the business soon outgrew its initial space. August, 1984: Eurasia moved into bigger digs. The second location was just a few blocks away, but boasted almost twice the space. This location included a full body shop, as well as the equipment for all types of mechanical repairs. Again business grew quickly, becoming well know among owners of fine European automobiles (including Mark Messier, pictured at right) in the process. While at this location, Eurasia become certified as a Bosch Authorized Service Centre "“ one of only two such centres in Northern Alberta. October, 1988: Again Eurasia grew larger and had to move into bigger digs. This time, the business located on 51st Avenue, which is probably the most well-known location. At that location, Eurasia operated a mechanical repair shop, body shop, detail shop, retail parts business, and used car business. For a period during the late 80s Eurasia was also an authorized Maserati dealership. Particularly in spring, it was not uncommon to find several Porsches, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Lotuses, and maybe even a Pantera in the shop on any given day. For the employees, Eurasia was like an extended family. Outside work, employees camped together, participated in motorsport, got married and had kids. Eurasia was a fun place to work, and that translated into tremendous pride of workmanship and a sense of ownership for everyone involved. Over the years financial partners came and went, but founding partner Michael von der Burg remained "¦ committed to the vision that Eurasia was Edmonton s premier independent repair facility. His vision was infectious, and under his watchful eye Eurasia became so successful that the business had to cut back on advertising for fear of being so busy with new customers it would be unable to serve its most longstanding and loyal clientele. April 5, 2003 was a very sad day. An electrical fire started in one of the cars left for repairs overnight and the result was devastating. The building caught fire some time around 12:00 AM and was fully involved by the time the Fire Department arrived. Over a period of 13 hours, the shop burned to the ground taking with it 19 customers vehicles, many of which were irreplaceable. Eurasia s extensive collection of used parts was also lost, as were many of the specialty tools acquired over 20 years of business, which made reopening a rather daunting proposition. Given the circumstances, one of the major financial partners opted to retire rather than participate in rebuilding. What followed, understandably, was a period of mourning and soul searching for the remaining partners before a decision to reopen could be made.
