We, Peter and Regina, are originally from Munich, Germany. We moved to Costa Rica in 1996 after we had visited this country as tourists several times and had fallen in love with its beautiful nature and the climate. By the way we never regretted our step to leave our home country and our former life behind.
Peter worked as an automotive mechanic I
on all the well known German brands like Volkswagen, Audi, BMW, Mercedes and Porsche.
Regina had studied law and worked as an attorney for several years in a law firm in downtown Munich.

We started our new Costarican life in a small typical tico house which we rented right here in Playas del Coco on the main street. In the back yard we put up a zinc roof and a concrete floor big enough to work on one vehicle. Soon the yard was full with costumers' cars waiting to be worked on. Peter couldn't do all the work by himself anymore and hired two local "mechanics". He had to train his new helpers beginning with basic car mechanics because they had very little knowledge of it beforehand.
Three years later in 1999 we bought our own property and built our own shop where we are still today. The following 12 years we ran the number one mechanic shop in the area.
In 2011, health problems forced us to quit the mechanical work and instead we started the storage and car sales business.
