Default Competent shop in Ottawa, Montreal or Toronto??

Looking for a very competent shop in the Ottawa, Montreal or Toronto area to work on my 997TT. I want to get my clutch changed and coolant lines addressed and a bunch of while the engine is out stuff including possibly the BBI slave mod.
I need a shop that will do everything with a high level of detail and that will torque EVERYTHING to spec, someone who has wrenched on a 997TT before and knows them like the back of their hand.

Has anyone ever sent their car to the US for engine work? What were the logistics?

TIA

There are a few bona fide places to take you P car in the GTA but one that stands out is Autowerks. http://www.euautowerks.com

Thanks. I see they work on all kinds of high end cars. Do they have mechanics that specialize for each make?

The BBI Slave should be installed on every 96/97 Turbo. Quality piece

No matter who you chose, make sure no one from the "farm team" touches your engine. I've had some pretty basic mistakes made by some of the highly touted shops' B stringers.

I get that you are concerned , but seriously, its a run of the mill 997 TT not a Bugatti Veyron.

Precisely my problem. The last time it when into a very reputable shop it was wrenched on by someone on the "farm team" guaranteed. The stuff I found was very irritating.

Must be nice to be in a position where a 997TT is a run of the mill car for you.
