Question for Montreal people.

smatts · 07-17-2008, 03:09 PM

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?

mtougas · 07-17-2008, 05:02 PM

yeah careful with the parking tickets lol. Don't ever go to any JDM shop in montreal except to buy USED JDM parts.

tonyCiviCitalia · 07-17-2008, 05:19 PM

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.

smatts · 07-17-2008, 10:42 PM

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 :)

Where can I get some refils for my AIR SPENCER air fresheners in the Montreal Area?

I have a friend who have his own garage and he also work at Honda dealership. he is probably one of the best Honda mecano's on the Montreal Island. if you want more info, pm me

***oldskool*** · 09-30-2008, 12:51 AM

forget steve's carwash! they are crap! go to this place called bubbles on Pierrefonds blvd or I found that doing it yourself, if you can, is much better.

I been back and forth to Montreal and I can never find a car wash either.. Well anyways winter is just around the corner and I hope u have a garage since Montreal has pretty bad snow storms.. U guys should have a meet before it gets really cold.. Maybe the future shop or mall around Decarie.... I wouldn't mind seeing what everyone has done to their SI
