Rus 

Rus, Owner of RustBlasters, has over 40 years experience in autobody & paint & is also a ticketed mechanic. 

 

Having worked as an Emergency Road Service Driver, with BCAA, for 28 years, he learned the importance of providing exceptional customer service with honesty & integrity. These are qualities he values in his personal & professional life, using them every day in his business dealings. 

 

You will always get the very best deal Rus can provide, without sacrificing quality. 

 

In his spare time, Rus enjoys flying his remote helicopters & drones, restoring his '58 Impala, riding his Vulcan 1500 or binge-watching TV series on Netflix & cuddling his kitty, Scratches.

Cara-Leigh has a strong background in customer service and puts it to good use at RustBlasters.

She treats each customer with the dignity & respect they deserve, ensuring customer satisfaction every chance she gets. 

 

Cara-Leigh is also in charge of marketing, bookkeeping, purchasing, payables, receivables, research, reception, payroll & keeping the boys in line. 

 

In her spare time, Cara-Leigh enjoys volunteering, movie time, riding her Harley, container gardening & cuddling with her puppy, Chick Pea (see below) & her kitty, Tiko. 

Jay 

Jay is a talented & fun addition to the shop. He has been with us for 9 years now and is highly skilled in metal fabrication. He has always wanted an autobody shop of his own so Rus better watch his step! LOL

 

When Jay isn't working in the shop, he is busy doing a custom restoration on his 1970 Type 3 VW Notchback 1500S. He promises it will be "the sickest VW on the streets" when he's done!

 

Jay is also an animal lover and has his sweet pup, Bailey, to shower him with affection. Jay is pictured here with our shop kitty, Scratches.

Brandon.jpg

Brandon has been with us off & on since 2018 and is a very talented painter and sandblaster.

 

He is laid back, mellow, and possesses a wealth of information on almost any subject...so don't get him started. LOL

Brandon is the very devoted father of 4 boys, so they keep him super busy. I seriously doubt he has any spare time to pursue hobbies but he does love listening to podcasts, to satisfy his never-ending thirst for further knowledge. 

cat

Cat is a bright new addition to our RustBlasters family.

She is learning how to do bodywork & painting and is a diligent and very capable student. She catches on quick and has a genuine passion for the skills she is learning. She has the intelligence and drive to take her wherever her heart desires.

Cat also has experience with marketing and web design so she is a major asset to us in these areas.

In her spare time she loves to learn new languages, hiking with her 2 dogs, riding her motorbike, modelling, and spending time with her BF, Jay (see above). Sorry guys, this beauty is off the market.

Chick Pea

Chick Pea sleeping.jpg

Chick Pea has literally no sandblasting, autobody or paint experience & only interferes with production and efficiency when being too cute & cuddly to ignore.

 

In her spare time (which is all the time), Chick Pea can be found cuddling with her Mommy, enjoying treats, sleeping, greeting customers when she is at the shop, & posing for pictures.

 

Chick Pea's area of expertise is in providing emotional support, stress relief, & brightening the day of everyone she meets at RustBlasters.
