Trusted GTA installers

For those of you living in the GTA, care to share the shops you use for installs ie exhausts (DP's etc), springs, tunes etc etc?
Any recommendations appreciated. I'm sure many here would also like to know as opposed to rolling the dice on an unknown shop.

Burning Rubber Tire & Speed out in Oakville is a pretty good shop. In addition to my car, I'm pretty sure they also worked on 2 or 3 other M2s from the forum.

Btw you go to the true north show at towne/country couple weeks ago? Was there for a bit then left. Definitely a lot fewer sponsors vs the pfaff meet.

Never mentioned them off the top because I didn't want this thread to appear as if it were a shameless plug lol.

Got my springs done there. Rocco very knowledgeable guy...former bmw tech and now races! Always a fun conversation with him to boot.
Definitely consider them for all my work but I'm always curious who else is out there (and perhaps closer).

Try Sportscarboutique

37 Kodiak Crescent #16, North York, ON M3J 3E5

I have done some work with my previous F80 with them.
Nice guys, busy place. I figure that they are more expensive than Burning Rubber Tire & Speed.

Yeah they are nice to work with and reasonably priced.
They deal with more higher end vehicles like P and F cars. including BMW and MB.

I moved to Peel region last year and had to find somewhere close and Burning Rubber was the one for my M2 and they are awesome as well.
