Review: Tangent Car Care (London, ONT)
Review is a little late in coming, but I just got back from having my car "washed" by a local shop in Toronto and it made me miss the place I used to go to when I lived in London last year.
If any of you guys out in that part of town are looking for an A+ detailer/car wash, call and speak to Grant @ Tangent Car Care. He's taken care of everything from my bike to cars and is always professional and does an excellent job.
The difference I think is that the owner Grant a total petrol head like us (has a collection of Datsuns, ATV's, motorbikes etc...) and puts in the time and effort, instead of just trying to churn cars thru.
A small example: my buddy asked him if he know of a way to do King Ranch leather seats without ruining them. Why? Because Ford uses a special kind of leather vs. normal cars and if you use standard products on them, they start to change color on you. Grant was aware of the issue and recommended a way around it.
We've got a couple of good detailers in the Toronto area, but for London, I strongly recommend giving Tangent a call.

Roflmao, I don't even know what to say about that.
When I would go in there the place was packed with cars and motorbikes, lifts and tools and certainly not the 420. It didn't even look like there was enough space in the unit to have the amount of stuff that article alleges. I ran a google search and I couldn't find anything about the article 10-pages deep and the londontopic.ca site sounds like it was some experiment floated on dragon's den. I'm not sure I would treat it as credible.
In any case I stand by my core review, my car's always came out spotless. There's a bunch of positives on Subaru Club as well. I intend on taking one of my cars back in the summer while i'm in town so i can get some oil and other gunk off the undercarriage (stuff that's built up from an oil leak).

I'm a little late to the party on this one but I have been to this shop and the grow op deal was 100% correct. Apparently he got off on some kind of technicality from what I was told. As for the work, I found it to be mediocre compared to other shops I have used in the GTA and London. He may be a petrol head but as a detailer I think this guy caters to the used car dealers more than the general public doing cheap, wholesale type work. Honestly I don't think the job I got was any better than the job I would get at a full serve car wash. My detailer in Toronto blows this guy out of the water.

There's only one substance that can slow Omar's speech from his usual 60 words per second. Coincidence?!

Nice "Tangent" Ronnie, but I'm not sure your analogy applies. If Rob Ford wants to use illegal drugs for his own consumption, that's his prerogative. He's a big boy, literally, and entitled to make his own decisions as ludicrous as they may seem. This guy is growing drugs for the purpose of trafficking. Not really the same, IMHO.
