The Drive Skate Shop

Absolute bros. Didn't try to upsell me when all I wanted was a complete to slowly upgrade. Very nice employees, welcoming vibe. Not like some other skate shops in Vancouver, that's for sure.

This is a proper skate shop! Shout-out to Dan, shop manager, for the great skate conversation and extensive board shape knowledge. Excellent customer service from Ethan, shop owner, who is down to answer any questions you may have. I won’t go anywhere else for my skateboarding needs. Thank you!

Lovely little shop. Seems to have a great selection. I brought my own board in to have it set up and they were amazing with helping me out.The staff was knowledgeable and provided many options all the while considering what I would be using my skateboard for. They were also very patient while I took my time to decide what I wanted to get and what colours I wanted. There was no pressure whatsoever to decide faster or to buy something pricier. If I ever inquire about something, they were quick to let me know about the prices along with other necessary information to make a decision. I like how transparent they were with that and at the same time letting me know what are the cheaper but still good options. They also offered the best price they could give. It was a pleasant surprise and it made my day.They took great care of my board and did a quick and amazing job. It was a great experience and I’m glad I went here to get my board set up. Thanks for helping me out :)

Easily the best skate shop in the city. Always welcoming, always helpful. They’ve never tried to up sell me on anything and have gone above and beyond when I’ve had questions.If you’ve just started skating or you’re intimidated to go into a skate shop, as I was at first, these guys will make you feel at ease the second you walk in. :)

Excellent place to buy skateboards. I came in with just a deck and asked if they could set me up with everything I needed. The guy who helped me was very knowledgeable and suggested wheels and trucks for my skate style and assembled it all for me. Very fast set up time and it looks amazing. I will definitely make the trip out there again when I need more parts. Prices are very competitive and the selection is large.

Right on!This humble joint is totally dope, an awesome selection of products at a phenomenal competitive prices. Combo'd with kickass, friendly and approachable staff, this place is super sweet and a great joint to get some threads or hardware. I also totally digged their outdoor sales racks on Italian Day on The Drive and didn't hesitate to swing by my local to haul some great deals.Support local businesses!

Always so stoked to visit this shop. Dan has helped me a few times putting together a board and giving advice. Knowledgeable, not just trying to upsell but genuinely put in the time to find the best fit and setup for what you’re doing. Truly thankful for the advice and quality of all their products.
