Default Recommend a shop

Can anyone recommend any shops in or around the GTA that would be able to install some suspension parts (shocks, springs, swaybars, lca's, & phb)? I'm looking to pull the car out of storage fairly soon and would like to take it to a shop that is familar with working on f-bodies. Some of the shops I've checked out haven't really worked on these cars. Thanks in advance.

Hi there, thanks for all the kind words guys.

2000blkss, I am very close to you and have been in the f-body buisness over 10 years now. Please stop and have a look at our facilty. We do everything from bolt-ons to suspension to tuning to complete crate engines to turn key packages and great deals on parts. Pretty much everything! We are here on Saturdays if your week schedule is too hectic. Located at Brock st and Bayly st in Pickering.
Thanks
Dave

No Denttech we run our own seperate buisnesses out of the same building. I take care of the Engines and engine parts, and Rev'N High takes care of the installs, car parts and setups

We've told you that a few times now, not sure why your pressing the issue. I really hope you stop the nonsense.

Dave

Thanks for the responses guys. I'm actually off work next week so I'll have some time to check some of these places out. The car's definitely coming out with the warm weather they're predicting next week!

For sure you would be happy with Darren and Dave's work. They work very good together and both companies do great work.

I agree 100% , Dave ( Canadian Performance)built my short and Darren ( Rev'n Hi) installed it as well as a new fuel system on my C5. The job was done on time and ready when promised-3 days! Every nut and bolt was torqued down to spec and every fastner clip that was used for a factory finish job. I was very happy with the work and recomend them 100%. You won't be disapointed!
