List Ottawa Shops and URL's here....
 

Well I thought we should have a plce to list all the shops in the city that we either already go to or come across while running around. I just noticed that Pearl had a site starting so why not list all the shops.

We should try to have one post per shop. ie. Post 1 would be for Pearl Auto Care so if it's already there, don't add it, just send me any info that might be missing via PM and I'll add it (since you can't edit others posts).

So if you list a place to go, try to use this format. If you want to add to an existing post continue to follow it but obviously there's no need to repeat anything... :rofl:

Rating: I give them a 10. everyone is friendly and the only guy who knew what we were talking about right away


Deals for wheels (Andrews choice) I give them a 7. They fit me in right away but had to be asked 3 times if the stealie I was replacing was a honda one. On the 3rd time they finally came out and said it was not. Just think they should of been honest from the start since a real honda one was 10 bucks more.

Pearl (mikes choice) I give them a 4. I called and asked them about powder coat and they were to busy to even give me details. was asked to call back and when I did they said they were not up and running yet and could not really answer any of my questions. There customer service really blows. I find they are really over priced. This is just what I think they might be better is I had a set of balls in my pants. They treated me as though I wanted to paint my car pink.

Tapp Auto (mikes choice) :rockon:

Short list: Inca Pearl spray can
Rating: 5

opinion: The paint guy is NEVER there! 3 days I've been dropping buy to get a paint can and they guy is either at lunch, on delivery, or not working. Now that I finally got a hold of him he said it would be ready by 12:30 - 1:00 and he said he'd call me back once it was done and he never did so I decided to call them at 3:00 and see if it was complete and it was.

Maybe the parts guys are good but the PAINT guy is really unreliable

^Dans Muffler shop down Metcalfe
7867 Victoria St.
(613) 821-2123

oh... thanks man!!! how long did it take for parts and install???

like 1 and half hours new prices for 2005 are as follows

2.25 and 2.5 inch exhausts cat back with your own muffler install $200$

3 inch Cat back for you Turbo peeps $260$

Call him to make a appointment and tell him Pierre sent you (the guy from New Brunswick)

821-2123 Dan Dan the muffler Man

oooooooo... hehe... with that pierre, i think i can buy your subs, amp and get that full exhaust system... and everything is all mandrel bent right???

No it is not mandrel bend too mandrel bend you need a 200 thounsand dollar machine and no one in Ottawa or even Ontario offers custom exaust with mandrel bend....

This is a streach bend not to be mistaken with the squish bend stech bend just streeachs the metal so on a 2.25 exaust in the bends it is only 2 and 1/8th so you loose a quarter of a quarter.....

in a squish bend you are looseing a full 1/4 inch and the metal is rippled in the bends and with this ripple you exaust now acts like a resenator bouncing ithe air around in the pipe before exiting oout the muffler......

So your goign to but my subs and amp wow awesome see you when you get back...

hehe... i hope so... u think it's worth it going to him to get the full exhaust system??? just curious... how big should i get it???

2 1/4" and yes it is worth it!

whoo hoo!!!

is it 200 for the install??? or 200 for the cat back???
