Final Drive Change

I'm considering making a final drive gear change.
Can anyone here suggest a reputable shop in the Golden Horseshoe/GTA who could complete the job with me delivering an un-installed pumpkin?
We have a good tranny shop here in Burlington but I'm not sure how they are with differential work.
Thanks in advance for your constructive suggestions.
Happy New Year!

A new shop called Adrena on Speers rd. in Oakville, the mechanic/owner is a local racer, (time attack) just did my rear end with 4.33 pumpkin swap.
EXCELLENT price !
His work is top notch.
I was very impressed.

If you're in Burlington then you're pretty close to Adrena Motorsports. The lead tech is Alex B. who did OTA with me and did a lot of work on my S2k (roll bar install, offset ball joints, catch cans, etc.). I can vouch for the quality of his work.

That said, XIII Motorsports in Brampton just north west of the airport is also a solid shop who installed my brake ducts. Luke L. is the owner and he competes at OTA as well and will give discounts to OTA racers. Tell him Kevin (LemonJus) sent you and he will take care of you.

Cheers.

Kev

For the Burlington Area, I would be going to NV Auto (Nam and Dov are great guys)

Personally, I go to Jason @ Apex Auto and I swear by his work.
