Somewhat new to the area and in need of a good shop!

As the subject states, I need a shop! The car is a Mazda MX3 V6. I started building it to compete it Solo 1 as well as being my daily driver. I installed the KLZE, various suspension pieces, short shifter, all that good stuff. About this time last year something in the transmission let go. Since the rest of the car was in rough shape anyways I bought a new MX3 with the intention of swapping over the good parts.

Now I find myself in a situation where I have a job that takes up a lot of my time, and school that takes up whatevers left. So I can't find the time or the space (my new houses garage can barely fit my bike) to get these parts swapped over so I can get back to the track day fun. Also I'd like it if a good once over could be done to make sure everything is in top shape on the car.

Are there any shops out there that would be able to do this job for me? Obviously I'd prefer a shop that already knows there way around these cars. But it's fairly straight forward work so any good shop will do. I'm fairly experienced with working on these cars, so I can also help out if theres any issues that come up and/or lend a hand.

Must have been too early in the morning for me to notice those little details.
I'm in Cambridge. Shops in the K-W, Guelph, Cambridge areas would all be fine. Thanks!

hahaha! I know who Tom is, not on a personal level, but through other friends. I personally wouldn't get him to do my car. Yes, he did an absolutly amazing job on his Sunflower, no questions asked, but it also took him forever to do it, so it's quite obvious to me that he has too much on the go right now to be able to do the work on my car.

Cheer up now, you're car's all better for the next month And don't take everything as an attack, sometimes people are just joking around!

But lets not clutter this guys thread anymore!
