looking for a new mechanic.

The mechanic has to be convenient though, as in around my area. I live in Mississauga and i'm not missioning to scarburough...
Does anyone know of a trust worthy, reasonable priced mechanic that is around the square one area or something?
Common guys, if no one acts on this soon another Honda owner will be condemed into taking their car to a "Canadian Tire".

Ah, just a honda owner anyways... jk

Honestly, I'd just say do your own work...Mechanics rip people off, and they do work most of the time to top it off

Streetsville Tire

I personally (when I cant do the work myself) I take it to my buddy Tony at Streetsville Tire in Streetsville. Queen St South of Bristol. He is a MAster Mechanic, and his rates are very resonable. Check him out...

Daley is an unknown quantity at this point
^^^ Kids don't know prices, they think any more then the part itself is a scam. Cheap idiots.
