You'll only get genuine help and service from Jimmy! He installed my Pro-kits this morning. There were a few seized/rusted bolts and nuts that got in his way but he never lost his cool. He even fixed the knock I was getting from my stabilizer links. He'll let you watch from the side as he works and he's a great guy to talk with. I offered many times to buy him a coffee or something but he humbly refused. I even tried to sneak an extra $20 in and drive off quick but he stopped me lol!! Ultimately, the job was done perfectly and the end result is great. I highly recommend this guy!

Coffee's on me next time Jimmy!!

Great to hear your problem was solved Ed. Props to Jimmy!

got springs installed on friday. Jimmy was very cool to talk with and worked on my car right away. Took about an hour but we were talking and he even taught me how to change the rear sways.

Overall, he lived up to the positive feedback I have read.

+1 for street performance

Dropped By @ Jimmy's Y-day to install the H-Techs and What Can i Say another amazing Clean job by Jimmy. He always accomadates all my car needs and honestly i wouldnt take my car to any other mechanic. Truly worth the drive to Markham.... Jimmy is prbly the most hard working person i know and i trust his judgement with my car always ..... thx again Jimmy il See U again Soon =)

I had an appointment today for springs, intake, and exhaust.

He installed the exhaust and intake with no problems what-so-ever. I absolutely love them and the job he did. We found a small error in the Magnaflow instructions where you have to cut behind the 2nd cat, it reads: Cut 20" behind it... when really, it should read you need to cut 2.0" (which is still too short. Using his better judgment he did ~3.5 and it was perfect).

He couldn't put the springs on today because of some seized bolts on the lower left control arm. I am going to buy replacement parts and get back to him ASAP!

Jim was straight up honest, told me what I needed to do, gave me options and advice. I really appreciate that in a mechanic. And for those of you who are wondering, he likes his coffee with cream and sugar.

EDIT: I forgot to add, he cleaned my MAF sensor, it looks brand new. The combination of that plus the removal of new intake parts has gotten rid of my rough idle issue.

Just got my prokit installed today!! Jimmy was really busy but managed to fit me in.. very quick and professional install! I'll be coming back for my other mods..

[M3Nick]

Pro-kit was installed last night!

The install would have been speedy except I had seized bushings on the lower rear driver control arm, so removing that was a PITA for Jim. He's persistent and got the mofo off, so he could put the new control arm on.

After that the spring install took an hour and twenty minutes, but I kept talking to him and asking him things (which he didn't seem to mind at all!), so I kind of held him up!

Guys, seriously bring your cars to Jim for installs! He's a A+++ mechanic who likes to share his expertise with those who are curious, a good installer, and a hard worker.

I had a clunking noise coming from the wheel well area on the driver's side for about two months. Only happened during low-speeds. I couldn't figure out what it was since it was still happening after I secured all my HID ballasts.

We took a spin around Jimmy's shop and he immediately diagnosed it as a loose strut bolt and fixed it in about 30 mins. Awesome service from an awesome guy.

Will definitely be going back to him if I install a new exhaust.

New shop is UNIT 17-18, not UNIT 16 anymore
