Where do you get your Camaro serviced in the GTA

I am looking for a good place to service my Camaro in Toronto or north of Toronto. I have been taking it to the dealer who sold it and service is horrible. I tried another dealer and they keep finding optional services I should do which always costs a few hundred more dollars. It never fails.
So where is the best place to take it?

I've had good luck with Highland in Aurora. msg blkngldbabe (she works there) or call and ask for Jenn. The are an SLP dealer too. They are aware of how particular and protective many of us are with these cars, so not just anyone will be moving / working on your car. I had them install my exhaust.

Guys, maybe I can help you both.
When I had my '80 vette I found this shop, Grand Sport Motors, in Thornhill (Langstaff Rd between Bayview & Yonge), they're corvette specialists, but they work on ALL muscles cars.

I was very happy with their work, competitive to dealer pricing, and very personal, and you can actually watch your car being worked on.
They now do ALL servicing on my daily driver, and when next Spring comes around, they will be my Camaro's PRIMARY MECHANIC SHOP.

Here's the link to their shop, Bill is the owner, and tell him Frank, with the IOM Camaro, sent you; no kickbacks, just positive advertising.

Since you are in Markham, you may want to try the dealer
Wilson Niblett in Richmond Hill.
They are Canada's largest corvette dealer and they know a few things about performance cars.
They are also a sponsor of the Ontario Camaro Club.
The service manager Stephen Plumbley is amazing and will make sure things are done right if you have an issue.

Agreed, the folks at Wilson Niblett are great. They're also the only authorized Callaway dealership in Ontario so if you've got a blower you don't need to worry about lack of knowledge or experience.

The first dealer I used was Markville but they treat me like they are doing me a favour and are so slow. Then I took it to Roy Ross who always tries to sell me extra service that I don't need. How can every trip there cost me $500-700 when I only put on 12,000 km on my vehicles per year.

Sounds like there are some other good replies here with suggestions. I will give another place a try next year!
