Default Porsche Service in Toronto

Can anyone recommend a good service facility in Toronto or vicinity?

Does anyone have a PCA listing of recommended shops in Toronto?

Hi Paul,
I use Steve's fine cars on the Queensway (accross from the food terminal) it's a great shop don't let the name fool you.
Their number is 416 239 9913, speak with Steve or Mike.

Cheers,
Stan

Thanks Stan. I'll make note of that. I have already made an appointment with a shop way out in Oakville for this afternoon. I'll let you know how they fare. I'm just getting some brake pads put on.

Fiorano Racing at 400 and Finch. 416-741-1696. The reputation is well known on the kind of work Gianni does.

Thanks guys, and thanks for the offer to help kilrgt. It turns out my pads were fine. The wire connecting one of the wear indicators wasn't pressed all the way, or became loose somehow.

I'll need new plugs, oil and filter in a month or so. This guy I went to in Oakville was pretty nice and definitely honest, so I may give him some business if he keeps his prices reasonable. His shop is called Rowetech Automotive and he's at 273 Speers Rd.

He was going to charge me about $250 parts and labour. The pads he was going to put on were Tekstar (I think). Is that what Porsche uses?

Paul, when you mentioned Oakville I assumed it was Mantis Racing. They are also located on Speers Road in Oakville. They are a PCAUCR approved tech centre.

Thanks Ray, this is all great info. I just got into town a month ago and haven't had time to do any proper research.

Yup! Fiorano is a great place to have work done... nobody knows p-cars like Gianni.

Fiorano is really close to me too. I'm near 400 & 401. Are his prices competitive?
