Calgary - List Shops in the area - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

cocoy_labuyo · 02-14-2013, 04:41 PM

Hi Guys, I just migrated in Canada and ended up in Calgary. I'm totally clueless where to get what and everything. You can list the shops and what we can expect from them. This can be a reference for the others as well.

Thanks

the following are what shops offer these:
3m Protective Tint full front
Krown
Opti-Coat
JDM Essentials

You're best bet is to check out beyond.ca Calgary has a really good car forum / community.

I checked this out for a couple days and I didn't find it useful unfortunately. It's either I wasn't searching enough or there wasn't anything. That said, any of you recommend any shops?

For body work Maranello does an excellent job, but be prepared to sell your kidney.

I second Maranello, though I think the prices are very decent when compared to other good shops in the city (they were lower than other quotes I got the few times I've needed work done, and while they are more expensive than shitty places like Maaco, you get what you pay for). I had my WRX bumper repainted at Maranello after some idiot drove into it, and they did a great job. Soon I'm getting my roof (dented from a car wash door malfunctioning) repaired there and my rear bumper replaced (someone punctured it with a trailer hitch).

Allmakes is decent for servicing Subarus (and costs far less than the stealership), and A-1 Autobody is good for wheel alignments.

@stateless Allmakes and A-1 should pay you a commission on all the business you're bringing them.

hahaha, it's ok, I just like to promote companies who make the effort to do good work, while letting everyone I can know about companies like Subaru Calgary that screw people over (companies like that clearly don't believe in word of mouth or they'd treat people better).

AllMakes looks promising when I read their reviews.
anyone recommend shop for clear bra's?
