Default GTA : rim rim

Do not go to rim rim
Never going back again.
Spend 900+ springs and labour
Other shop quote me 380 w/ install
I went there just because it was close to my house.
I went in at 10oclcok sit there for 7 hours got my car back at 5.
Mechanic doesnt know what his doing, after install I herd noises coming from under my car, thought it was just because I install a new spring, took to a shop to take a look, front stabilizer links was not tight, my r/r struct have leak didn't even bother telling me.
Manager was not there. Emailed him and never got a single reply.

The day before install springs I talked to the manager asked how much would the labour cost me he said $220 . On Saturday this girl said $550 and start to make so many excuses said so many bs stuff.

Ps- my friend got his car wrap there after 10 months, the wrap starting to peel off.

Ps2- that mechanic scratch my rear bumper. And rev the hell out of my car when I'm standing Right beside him, drinking beer when his at work like really....

Worse place to go.

Glad you got your problem resolved. I've been emailing for price quotes and no one has gotten back to me!

Red flag for sure. Does anyone know of any other reputable places for modding in the GTA?

Got my RSR springs installed at iGarage in Markham. A bit of a drive for me coming from west GTA but worth it. You deal directly with Ivan the owner (great guy), he completed the work in 5 hours (as he stated), and was cheap at only $220.

Go to igarage. Everyone said its a good place to go and a reasonable price.
Another update... * recently got my stabilizer link tighten, and replace all struts, found another problem... The guy at rimrim put my front camber bolt wrong side, (i bought eibach camber bolt) so it was longer , the bolt was touching my *BRAKE LINE*
That was the worse thing could happen... Could've crashed my car.

There is a great shop in North York, he has been working on my car and many other guys I know. The shop name is Toronto Automotive Repair his name is Johhny at 416-989-1987 you want mods this is the place and person. He is doing a Pro EFI for me and changing my whole intake and putting a Stage 4 4l80e tranny on my lexus sc300.
This is this first shop I have ever trusted
Hope this helps

Igarage is good, and NextMod is good too but a bit expensive, but they deliver good work.
