Default Aussie Auto closed. What now?

Hey guys,

Just seeing where you guys have started taking your cars for service since Rick closed shop. I've been going to him for years and now don't know who to trust.
This is for the guys in the GTA / Mississauga Area

There are rumours that Rick's retired. I've had my Lexus and Toyota serviced by him for many years. I really feel like an abandoned child now that I need him.

A bunch of his ex-clients have gone to see Alex at Clarkson Fine Cars. They have all the Lexus equipment and can handle anything from older models to LCs... they did the first service/oil change on my '24 LC 500.

Recently took my GSF to Clarkson Fine Automobiles in Oakville for an oil change and to go back to OEM springs. They also did an alignment and did a thorough look over on the car. They did a great job on the vehicle and best of all you could tell that they're car guys throughout. Would definitely recommend!
