Re: Audi tt specialized shops in gta?
 

Not even one reply here for days now so I just went to some quick lube with emmision.
Paid $75 for filter, oil change, emmision and passed the test.

Now its not weird its my first post but joined since 2008...this place is still dead

I've used Precision Tuning Motorsports: Precision Tuning Motorsports

Small place, basically a single bay unit. The shop specializes in VW / Audi general and performance tuning. He has very reasonable rates, and does great work. He's done my TT's timing belt service, and a full brake job on my TT and my wife's Jetta as well, no issues what so ever.

Re: Audi tt specialized shops in gta?
 

Now were talking, thanks a lot realy appreaciate it.

Re: Audi tt specialized shops in gta?
 

Another place I've used a lot in the past with my previous Jetta was H2Sport, they are located a bit out of the way in Georgetown H2Sport - Welcome to H2Sport | Premier VW/Audi/Porsche Tuning Shop

They really know there stuff and service the VW / Audi crowd. They do general maintenance as well as performance installations and tuning.

On my Jetta they did a full suspension install and alignment, chipped it with Revo at the time, cold air intake, diverter valves, brakes, sensors, a timing belt job and never had one problem with them.

There's a shop in Scarborough "Corsa Autosport" on Kingston Rd, they're really good with Audi/VW. They're reasonably priced and honest. I believe one of the owners used to work at the dealership but decided to go on his own. Ask for Dave

i also have used h2sport good people good priceing will use them again

Independent Tuning in Scarborough on Crockford.Talk to Mark

Re: Audi tt specialized shops in gta?
 

Independent Tuning is where I've been taking my TT for the last few months. I've been very happy with them.

I sent my office neighbour there for a timing belt change on his A4 wagon, and saved him a bunch of money compared with the stealership.

Warden and Lawrence area.

Mike:
I noticed you live in the Barrie/Orillia area, is there a preferred shop closer to home that you can recommend. I have used the Barrie Volkswagen/Audi with consistent disappointment for our Passat.
Now with a TT, I want to make sure it is serviced right, and at a fair rate.

Alan,
I've never tried any place in our area. I work in TO, and Independent is close to the office for me.

I don't see many TT's in our area!

Mike

Re: Audi tt specialized shops in gta?
 

Thanks Mike,
I contacted Orillia Volkswagen this morning, they do some service on the Audi - not everything. Their rate for an oil change is quite reasonable $82.46 I believe they said.

A quick lube was $121 - bandits!

If I scout anything out, I will post, plus I will watch for your red TT on the 400.

Re: Audi tt specialized shops in gta?
 

Hi Alan,

My wife services her Jetta in Orillia for the most part becasue she works in Orillia. Frankly Orillia are not much better then Barrie in our experiences, we've used both numerous times. I service my TT occationally in Barrie but have not used Orillia for it. We've basically come to the conclusion that we go to the Toronto VW/Audi Tuning shops to get any big major service work done. Several do excellent work at a fair and resonable price. I just find the dealerships don't even know their own vehicles all that well any more, and you pay dearly for them guessing while troubleshooting any problems.

Re: Audi tt specialized shops in gta?
 

We feel the same about the Orillia dealer, I called them this morning about a timing belt replacement as my TT is at the mileage that I should be getting it done. They can't perform this on an Audi, :eek: and I really don't want to take my car to the Barrie dealer at all.

I am frequently in the Vaughan Mills area, do you have any recommendations for this area?

thanks,
Alan

Re: Audi tt specialized shops in gta?
 

When I was working in the Vaughan area, I took my Eagle Talon TSi AWD to International Auto (IAC :: International Automotive Customs (----) near Weston and Langstaff). They are a bit pricey, but better than dealers, and they are good with performance cars. When I was buying my 3.2 TT, I had them do a mechanical check on it, and at the time, they had a 225Q that were gutting and turning into a higher performance machine.

Re: Audi tt specialized shops in gta?
 

any near the falls? i pratically live there... any thoughts?

Re: Audi tt specialized shops in gta?
 

Hi Alan,

I've had my TT's timing belt and a full brake job done at Precision Tuning Motorsports, the address is:
8600 Keele Street unit 46/47
Concord, Ontario
Keele/Langstaff

The guy's name is Perjad, he's a very good mechanic who cares about his work. My whole extended family uses him as we all have VW's / Audi's and no problems with his work yet.

Re: Audi tt specialized shops in gta?
 

Thank you for your input, I found PTM today to see the place and book my timing belt. Unfortunately Perjad couldn't commit to do it within a single day insisting I would need to leave the car overnight. The logistics of getting home and back down was a problem for me.

I headed over to Independent Tuning, they can't get to it for 2 weeks, and a longer drive from the Vaughan area, but a single day to get the job done. I was impressed with their work area, and better lighting than Precision. I booked it there.

I am also looking at replacing the transmission fluid and filter, its hard to believe the cost of fluid is over $20 per litre (7 required).

thanks,
AR

Re: Audi tt specialized shops in gta?
 

$20 is expensive. I've been using the redline MT (or MTL I forget offhand) and it's great and a lot better priced.

I'm also on the hunt for a GTA mechanic, just moved around the Bathurst/Lake Shore area and need to find someone

Re: Audi tt specialized shops in gta?
 

Independent Tuning at 110 Crockford Blvd. is reasonable close at the Lawrence and Warden area. They are backed up a little and one man short. Mark is the owner, I didn't catch the name of the mechanic.

Re: Audi tt specialized shops in gta?
 

I just used independent tuning for some scheduled maintenance on my 2003 TT 225 quattro. Mark is very professional and organized. Pricing is also very good, I recommend to all. It was definitely worth the 40 minute drive from home

Re: Audi tt specialized shops in gta?
 

I concur, Independent did my complete timing belt change, transmission fluid change, found a common part that needed replacing, serpentine and found a nail in my tire. I find Mark (and John) very knowledgeable, and thorough in their work.
I had an oil change done only 2 weeks before, Mark checked the oil and it was already dirty, it needed a flush. He put in Motul and a new filter in, you could tell the difference immediately.

I returned last week for my snow tires. Its a bit of a drive for me, but worth it.

ar :)
