Question for Montreal people.

Hey guys, I moved to Montreal a few weeks ago for work, and my car (le fit ) has arrived! I was wondering if any of you Montreal peeps could point me in the direction of a few things.

First, a car wash, preferably DIY or $25 or less for a hand wash that won't destroy my car.

Second I'm looking for a good shop that would be able to change out my suspension. Preferably a shop that specializes in Japanese Imports (Honda's, Nissans, Toyotas, etc). And has access to order parts from Tein, Buddy Club, Koni, etc.

Also: I've had my car for one night and I already got a parking ticket, damn your crazy no parking signs, they are messed up!!! ie. no parking on thursdays between 6amand 7am between april and december.

steves car wash in DDO apperantly does a good job of hand washing your car. Also in St.Leonard theres this place called Japan Motor imports, not sure if its any good or what they do even, but I just figured the name would say it all. Where are you located in Montreal?

just install your springs yourself or at any garage, thats what id do if I were you. Dont see how it matters if they specialize in Honda or not, their just springs.

Thanks for the info Ricky, I mean tony. I'm staying at a hotel downtown till the end of the month, and I'm moving to the Plateau after that.

My car is already lowered on springs, I need someone to put my stock springs back on for winter, then put in some coil overs in spring.

Oh and just to let you know my Honda dealer (so any other Honda dealer might do the same?) told me they were charging 25$ to wash the car (int & ext) so I though it was good since they've done a nice job for mine :)
