    Totally amazing service and support here at this garage. I sent the owner Dale my vin number a week before my appointment and he offered me all New ****** Brake Racing parts , Front and Rear Rotors, Pads , brake pins and 2 new front Calipers for get this, half price. Now I looked these parts up and I saved just a bit over 940 dollars in parts alone.

    He took the time to teach me how to repair and replace my complete braking system properly, I actually felt like I was back in Grade 10 shop class. He was a great teacher and had the patience of a snail with me. We talked cars, politicians, politics in general and we talked about the accident that had pinned him under a car , and very slowly and painfully cut his leg completely off, and almost took his life a few months back @ the garage where the car, ****** had broken in half while on the hoist as someone had filled the rotted out frame with Mono Foam and painted black rocker guard over it so he didn't see it. He was quite humble and thankful to still be on this earth and crawled around my car with two pillows and a walker while teaching me about the brake job. I kept thinking to myself about how this must have been so difficult for him but the whole time , he never faltered, he always smiled and even asked if I was doing ok? ... I must say that this fellow and this shop deserves 5 stars plus !! If you want to learn about cars period, if you want to be treated with respect , if you want complete and honest answers about your car with no song and dance, if you want to save money and have some very intelligent conversation , on a mechanic with a Doctorate degree , .... Then definitely its Worth the 40 minute drive up that highway 400. I drove all the way from Napanee , because I read on a forum that he could repair the brakes on a ******** because when I went to the dealer they wanted 3974 , with Barrie DIY it cost me just under a quarter of that with a tip. I tipped him well because God knows , " He sure deserved it "
