GTA Shop recommendation: Patrick's A.R.T Motorsports

[shu5892001]

Hi guys,

I see people always ask about GTA shop recommendations so I want to do a shop review and recommend a really good performance/repair shop in the GTA, and besides been an extremely satisfied customer, I am in no way affiliated with this shop.

My name is Shu, I had a 2013 FR-S which I got rid of and got a M3, but I'm now back to a 2015 FR-S, these were my introduction post.

I initially heard about Patrick and ART motorsports from a forum member on here, I forgot who (sorry my bad), I am really anal about my car and who works on it, so I was a bit skeptical at first since I have never been there, but when I first went to his shop I see track spec EK civics, FD RX7s and other performance cars, I knew I can't go wrong with his shop

On my 2013 FR-S, Patrick did my nameless OP/DP combo, perrin cat back exhaust, white line positive shift bushing, perrin rear shifter bushing, whiteline crossmember bushing inserts and whileline rear diff bushing inserts.

He did a fantastic job, and he was really familiar with our ft86 platform, all install went really smooth and charged me a really good price., and when it's time to mod my 2015 FR-S, (I actually ordered the exact same mods lol) I knew that I would not trust anyone else with my car except Patrick.

This time Patrick did all my mods (minus the nameless OP/DP because it takes 4-6 weeks to get it shipped to here), again Patrick did a fantastic job, and I will be taking it to Patrick's shop when my nameless pipe arrives and will probably switch out the OEM tranny and diff fluids by that time too

Patrick's shop is located in Thorn Hill, Here is the web page of Patrick's performance shop:

If anyone wants any work to be done on your frs/brz I would definitely recommend to go to Patrick! You can tell him Shu sent you!

Sorry for the OT comment, but as a testament to how good the twins really are, I have seen quite a few people comment that they went from M3's to twins, and several of them twin>M3>twin again.

Welcome back.

Welcome back.

Yep, 400hp don't mean anything when you can't WOT on the street, and although M3 is a good handling car, the twins are on another level..
