    Look for a local independent garage if you can. Supporting Canadian business is good. Supporting Canadian small business is better.

      And a good local mechanic is worth his weight in gold! It took about a year in our current city before we found “our guy” but we’re customers for life now.

        You gotta have a guy. When we moved out of Toronto 7 years ago, I knew I’d miss friends, but the thing I was most upset about was having to leave the mechanic I’d had for 25 years. Vito, you’re still the man.

      This all the way - if you have a car, you gotta have a guy. Friends don’t let friends take their car to Crappy Tire or Mr Lube.
