Good SVX mechanic in Toronto?

Still doing my SVX research before I buy. I am wondering if anyone knows a very knowledgeable and competent VX mechanic in the Toronto area. Really don't want to drive down to West Virginia for all of my repairs....

Thank you.
It does not look like New Jersey or Connecticut are any closer.

Tom,
As I was looking at your website and reading about the stuff you do around these parts, my mental want list easily topped $2000. That was just for starters.
You know, there is merit in the idea of taking the drive down there and having you give whatever I get a good going over. Hoses, lines, belts, tuning stuff, etc. Be nice to have it in the hands of someone who really know what they are doing!
First, I have to find a car!

What color, what year, and how much do you want to spend?
You might be able to buy one already done.

Colour (thats color to you folks), isn't a huge issue. Would prefer a later rather than earlier model. Definitely want leather, sunroof, etc.

Spend? As little as possible, of course!

Re: Good SVX mechanic in Toronto?

answer is no. everybody rips you off and they suck at working on svx's.
no brainer - dont take your car to subaru.

if you want anybody to work on it.. you can look for Iian at planet motorsports. (or something like that). he's a mech and a rally driver. he's the guy that does the 6MT swaps in the svx's (locally - however he's in geulph). he doesn't do 5mt anymore.

if you are going 6mt route. it'd cost you $8000 - just to let you know ~
