ON Best Shops in Toronto?

Hey Guys,

There is some work I want done on my car but I don't have the tools/time to get it done, what are the best shops (preferably in Toronto)? Here's the list of stuff I want to get done right now:

-Replace coolant
-Install metal AST
-Install and mount water temp gauge
-Fix AC
-Replace trans fluid
-Install stock drivers side & passenger mirrors (and paint one of the mirror bases from red to white)
-Fix the front bumper (my car came with an aftermarket bumper that caused the stock one to not fit properly on the body.. not sure what would be involved in fixing this)
-Replace oil pressure sender
-Replace parking break

Thanks,
-Ben

^ As long as you don't go to Streetpower, you should be fine with any of those.

You might not want a jack of all trades working on your car. I have specific shops that I use depending on what needs to be done.

Whats the best shop for body work in the GTA? My fenders got messed up because of an after market bumper so I'm going to need them bent back in place or something and I need to get the stock mirrors installed, and one of the bases is red so I will need that base painted.

He's a nice guy and he actually does look just like him lol, he changed a fuel filter for my FD last fall, he knows his stuff. I live in Mississauga, in my opinion bosomode is the best in the area.

I can't say I know the best... I'd have had to have tried them all in order to know that.

However I had by car repainted by Norm at Westwood Auto he knows his RX7's, has 2FD's and a few FC's, you can call them at 416-745-2857

ABM auto, these guys are a family run business who know their ****. Everyone that works there is an enthusiast...
My friend Jon drives a 94 Supra and an 86 Corolla (F20 swap), his dad a porsche 911 I think, and his mom a 2007 M5 and Honda NSX. I've gone to them for about 6-7 years for any body work

ABM Auto Center & Sales

Tell them you know Hai and see if they'll discount you
