GTA/T.O. people....
Where do you take your TL for regular maintenance -- the simple stuff like oil changes, brakes, etc.
Where do you take the car for more complicated mechanical work?
Where do you buy your tires?
Where do you buy your parts - OEM, aftermarket, oil, etc....?
Where do you buy your cleaners, car care stuff, and accessories?
What body shop do you use for painting or major work? (What else can they do besides repainting and dent/damage removal?)
Where do you buy/install your stereo equipment?
Etc, etc.....

And even though they are listed as an auto painter and body work, they also do regular mechanical too?

"Here Come The Bulls!"
1. Oil changes at Premium Oil Change in Brampton.
2. Minor maintenance at the same place as above. These guys do excellent brake work! However they avoid mod work, will suggest you keep it stock. Nevertheless never seen a better brake job in terms of quality.
3. Car care: Crappy Tire / have picked up Zainos interior cleaner from The Barbers Chair in Mississauga (Erin Milss Town Center).
4. Audio: All ALPINE 3/4 of the way done (awaiting new sub for this year): Peel Audio Video; good work, they know what they are doing, Ive seen new MDX"S from the dealer in there getting starters put in: last was there with a Porrsche in adjecent bay, and a NSX as well.
Hope that helps. I was very very intrested in your thread. I hope for further response from people. There has to be a kick ass parts provider ($)/ installer9$) that we can turn to reliably in the GTA?
