Toronto Area Shops?

Can anyone recommend any shops in the Toronto area that are knowledgeable with respect to LS1 F-Bodies? I've got a set of Prothane engine mounts I would like to get installed, and I don't think I can tackle doing this myself in the driveway.

I can't seem to find many guys (with the exception of dealerships) that have experience working on these cars.

Thanks!

What part of the city do you live in? There is a shop in the west, another in Scarboro and another in the East end.

Whatever you do, gor FAR FAR AWAY from Autoworx/ARE.
They simply **** their customers, and even tell them to screw/**** off publicly while screwing them over of 10s and 20s thousands of $$$.
I learnt it the hard way.

Wow. I there seem to be some mixed opinions of ARE, from two extreme ends of the spectrum. So are they still jerking people around?

FTR? that's Wade Stevens new shop. Stay FAR FAR away from him. I wouldn't let him oil my bicycle chain.

Do a search and find out for yourself about his days of running ARE.

Not only a fake name but he needs to hide his IP address via "Anonymouse".

What is good for the goose....

It is a dirty business and you FTR and ARE guys have to expect this. Both those shops have an intertwined history.

The difference being that I don't need to hide my IP address or that my name is Don.

Standing

The difference is he cleaned up his act and actually produces product, has a great reliability record and offered to help even after I made those comments. Agostino on the other hand merely continued to **** more customers.
