BCS Auto Sales: Four Decades of Growth, Community, and Trust
Posted on August 12, 2025
Celebrating 40 Years in Business
We’re proud to be celebrating 40 incredible years of serving our community. Founded in 1985 as Budget Car Sales (now BCS Auto Sales), our dealership was started by four local Canadian entrepreneurs with one goal in mind: to provide Vancouver’s drivers with quality, late-model used vehicles they could trust. From the very beginning, we built our reputation on reliability, offering well-maintained cars and fair pricing.
Over the years, we’ve grown into one of Canada’s largest independent used-vehicle dealers. Today, our lot is home to a wide selection of sedans, SUVs, trucks, and commercial vehicles. Our commitment to quality shows in every vehicle we sell—many with low kilometers, the balance of factory warranty, and all backed by thorough inspections.
A Trusted Name in the Community
We’re proud to hold an A+ accreditation from the Better Business Bureau, a reflection of our dedication to honesty and service. Year after year, we’ve been recognized as BC’s Used Car Dealer of the Year, BC'S Best Priced Used Car Dealer and this 40th anniversary gives us an opportunity to celebrate with special promotions and community-focused events that thank our customers for decades of loyalty.
Our Customers’ Voices
Over four decades, we’ve had the privilege of helping thousands of customers find their perfect vehicle. Many have shared how much they appreciate the friendliness and honesty of our team. One customer summed it up perfectly:
“Great staff that will go the extra mile … excellent job making sure the used cars … are in tip top operating condition.”
We take all feedback seriously—whether it’s praise or criticism. Every review helps us grow and improve, and we’re committed to earning our customers’ trust every single day.
Evolving With the Times
From our early days in the mid-1980s to now, we’ve constantly adapted to meet the needs of our customers and the automotive market. In addition to expanding our inventory, we’ve introduced programs like “We’ll Buy It!” and “Trade In Your Vehicle”, added online shopping options, partnered with
CARFAX Canada for vehicle history reports, and provided financing tools like pre-qualification and payment calculators. These changes reflect our dedication to making car buying easier, faster, and more transparent.
Our Community and Legacy
Located at 1404 S.W. Marine Drive, we’ve been part of South Vancouver’s landscape for decades—serving multiple generations of families, neighbours, and friends. This year, as we celebrate our 40th anniversary with our biggest sale ever, we’re not just marking a milestone—we’re looking ahead to the future with the same passion and commitment that got us here.
From our humble beginnings to becoming a well-recognized name in Vancouver, our journey has been built on a balance of tradition—strong customer relationships and quality vehicles—and innovation through new programs, technology, and services.
Here’s to the past 40 years—and the many more to come.
