Brent Evans
MINI Sales Manager
First of all I must credit my love for the automobile to my mother Nadine who first took me to Western Speedway at the age of 5. Ever since then the attraction has remained strong from my Hot Wheels collection to experience in amateur road racing. Born in Victoria, raised on the lower mainland, after spending 13 years in the restaurant industry, it was time to relocate back to the island. The love of the automobile was never far away as I tried my hand at rural living, spending several years in the forest industry and even owning a garden centre. However when the opportunity arose it was time to follow my true passion-the automobile. While always maintaining the highest level of customer service, I strive to provide our clients with the utmost in customer service by providing informative counsel to help make their experience here at Victoria BMW/Mini everything I would want it to be if I were a customer. No doubt it helps to represent one of the marquis brands offered anywhere in the world and with the ongoing support of our management and ownership team I know you will be happy with your decision to give us the opportunity to not only earn your business but to develop a life long relationship.

Corey Milne
Technician
My passion for automobiles began at a very early age driving with my father in his old MGB, and has since grown to an all out obsession for fine vehicles. I spent my apprenticeship at a busy independent European repair facility, wrenching on all types of European makes from Rolls-Royce to Porsche. During my apprenticeship I realized the BMW holds an exceptionally high standard for quality and workmanship, and not only do I enjoy tinkering with these cars, they are simply a blast to drive and own. Less than a year into my apprenticeship I acquired my first BMW and since my passion for this has continued to expand. I am very proud to join the family here at Victoria BMW, the people are fantastic, the city is beautiful and the cars keep getting better.
