Who We Are

Automotive Professionals Who Got Tired of Seeing Preventable Damage

RATS BC was built by people who have spent their careers inside the automotive industry, people who know firsthand how costly and avoidable rodent damage really is.

Our Philosophy

Your Maintenance Budget Should Work For You

We are strong advocates for preventative maintenance, and that belief is at the core of everything RATS BC does. Your maintenance budget should be going toward preserving the life and integrity of your vehicle, not cleaning up damage that could have been prevented.

Rodent repairs are time consuming, expensive, and completely avoidable. Every dollar spent reacting to chewed wiring is a dollar that could have gone toward the maintenance that actually extends the life of your vehicle.

We would much rather see that money stay in your pocket, available for what matters most in keeping your vehicle on the road for years to come.
What We Stand For

How We Do Business

01
Honesty First

We only recommend what genuinely protects your vehicle. No upselling, no pressure.

02
Education Over Sales

We want you to understand the risk before you make any decision. An informed customer is a protected one.

03
Professional Always

Every installation reflects our brand. Clean work, clear communication, and respect for your time and property.

04
Built for BC

We know this province, its climate, its rodent pressures, and the vehicles people drive here. This is not a generic solution.

05
Prevention Over Repair

We exist because reactive is expensive. Proactive protection is always the smarter use of your maintenance budget.

The Team

Trained By Automotive Professionals.
Held To The Same Standard.

Every RATS BC installer comes from an automotive background and is trained directly by our team before their first installation. We do not send generalists. We send people who understand vehicles, respect your property, and can answer your questions on the spot.

Our installation team operates across Vancouver Island, bringing the same professional standard to every job regardless of vehicle type, location, or installation size. When a RATS BC installer arrives at your door, you are getting someone who has been vetted, trained, and trusted with our name on their back.

The Founder

From the Service Bay
to Your Driveway

Darien Shields has spent years working inside the automotive industry across Western Canada, with experience as a Service Advisor, Automotive Sales professional. From dealership service bays to the sales floor, his understanding of how vehicles work, what makes them vulnerable, and what it takes to protect them goes well beyond the service counter.

What most vehicle owners do not see is the volume of rodent-related damage that flows through service departments every week. Many cases never make it into insurance statistics. Repairs that fall below deductibles, owners who pay out of pocket, or damage that gets misdiagnosed entirely. The true scale of the problem is larger than the numbers suggest.

RATS BC was founded to change that. Rather than waiting for the damage to arrive in a service bay, Darien built a mobile installation service that brings professional rodent defence directly to vehicle owners before the problem starts. The goal is simple: give BC drivers the protection they did not know they needed, delivered with the professionalism and honesty you would expect from someone who has spent years earning customer trust across the automotive industry.
