Default REFINED MOTORSPORT is back in business

Henry just called to advise he found a new building and re-opened at 520 Kipling in Etobicoke (his shop is at the back of Worldwide Fine Cars, just south of Evans)
Tel number remains unchanged (416-248-9777)

I would say Henry is definitely worth a try for your 944. He is competent and reasonable.

I agree wtih AM993. Henry has been great for me. Reasonable, knowledgable and his shop is (was anyway) clean and orderly - just the way I'd like it.

Actually for the 944 what you want to find is a mechanic who knows the 944 cars and Henry certainly qualifies, your're in good hands!

Make sure you check out the 944 Forums, there is alot that you can do yourself.

I'm bringing my car to Henry right now!

Edit: Just got back from dropping off my car. What a place! Super slick. They sell Ferraris, for God's sake. And Henry had not one but two 356s in totally mint shape. Worth going just to look at the cars, it's an open-air museum!

Cool Correcting Google Backlinks

Good-morning gentleman

I work with Graphik Eye Media we're building the new torontoporsche.com site (Refined Motorsports) and Henry wanted me to fix a few of these backlinks.. as they are misleading.

Henry has been in business since 97 and had some bad luck with landlords selling, it has forced him to move 3 times at his own expense.

He apologizes for the inconvenience but it was beyond his control.

Here is his full contact info for his current facility:

Toronto Porsche - Refined Motorsports
218 Evans Ave, Etobicoke, Ontario, M8Z 1J8, (416) 248-9777

He also has launched TorontoPorsche(dot)com to make it easier for clients to keep in touch with him, as well as a few more web addresses (urls) to be released soon.

In my opinion Henry has one of the greatest reputations in the Porsche community. Hard to beat a guy like Henry who was factory trained by Porsche in Stuttgart worked there for 6 years, was shop foreman for 20 years at Downtown Fine Cars (Porsche Dealer), and has 40+ years working on these fine machines especially at fair prices.

Personally I wouldn't trust anyone else with my Porsche.

Oh, oh...
Send in the non-sponsor-endorsements-are-not-allowed dogs.

And where is the welcome chair, anyway?! He must have fallen asleep under a car again.

Henry sold me my first Porsche. Still deciding if I should thank him for that.

Good to see Refined is still around. I need somebody to do my DE inspection on my 944 for the June event.
