John
FOUNDER & Lead mechanic
If you own a Subaru, modified or not, it’s likely you’ve heard of John Paynter. John has been maintaining and modifying Subarus for over 10 years, inheriting the love for performance Subarus from his father John Paynter Sr. who piloted rally cars for Subaru Canada.
Over the years John has become an expert on all things Subaru, from maintenance and light modifications all the way to motor builds and drivetrain swaps. Whether it’s a small maintenance item, or an 800 horsepower performance build, John has been there and done that.
