Can anyone recommend an AM garage in Toronto other than Grand Touring for regular service and possibly mods?
Tx, Marv |

Tx, Marv Try giving these guys a call: Cross Avenue Auto 142 Cross Avenue, Oakville, Ontario CA L6J 2W6 Telephone: 905-845-0666 There is also Sam's Garage out in Markham. |
Thanks Zookie and gekko,
I'm near Yonge and 401, so looking for someone closer. Knew EU by name and reputation but never used them in the Porsche days. I've never heard of Sam's and it's closer. Anyone with personal experience? I'd like to try him for a regular/pre-track service. Anyone use Birkshire Automobiles on Green Lane in Thornhill? Thanks again, Marv |
I know Birkshire specializes in Jag's, not sure if they work on Aston's?
By the way, what did you end up getting (year/Specs/colour)? I remember you where looking at a car down in the US. Hope it's treating you well! Any other questions with the AM, pm me. Cheers |
Bought a pristine silver with black interior (white deviated stitching) 07 V8V manual with bluetooth, gps, upgraded sound and about 7k on the odometer from Orlando AM. Was inspected by a local 6speeder enthusiast (Cayman jockey). Car had one full year of warranty extended. No issues and regular service last year at Grand Touring.
Looking for similar garage experience like the enthusiast service that is part of the Toronto Porsche community. Hoping there is just enough local demand for a Jag/AM Anglophile mechanic. |

Is this your car?
If so, I've seen you quite a few times & even spoke to you once when I passed by in my daily driver. |
Sorry gekko,
That's not mine. Close but i think that's a newer model due to the rocker panel extentions. My windows also have a bit of a Florida tint. |

So it looks like we have a few Vantages in the area :) The car in the pic is a MY07, has the antena on the roof & the side sills must of been upgraded afterwards. FYI spoke to a few people this weekend who used to service their Jags by Birkshire . . . they now go elsewhere. You should try to come to some of the car meets, there is a Sticky at the top of this Cdn Section with the details for meets at LaPolma. Thursday is Italian Night - along with a bit of everything else Usually starts from 7:30 to about 10pm Friday Nights - A dozen or so of us that meet 10:30pm til late. |

Neither.
Unfortunately didn't drive the car much this summer and ended up with only a minor service at Grand Touring. Curious to know if anyone else has used the others as I will need new brakes and major service beginning of next summer. Pfaff may be another option, I think. |

I going to try one of these indy shops out and let you know how it goes. If it was between Pfaff and GT, I would just go with GT since the rates will pretty much be the same and you would want the experience from the GT guys. I had a couple of buddy with R8s and Porsches, Pfaff was not that great, none of them went back. So far what the indy's have quoted me is a lot better then GT rates. |
