I can also totally relate to not wanting just any donkey around your car; my sister-in-law already scratched my trunk lid with her jacket. Did I just say donkey and sister-in-law in the same sentence?

Ok let me get this straight, so your wheels & tires are already mounted, you want a shop who can install your Eibachs springs? And install your wheels with care? right

IMO wheels anybody.....well, a good shop can install them without damage, i don't know about a shop who can install springs in Ottawa. If you are willing to come to montreal to get your springs installed, there is a shop called bimmershop (bimmershop.ca) that will handle everything with care, trust me

......i didn't have anything installed in their shop, but there are alot of people who i know (some are in this forum) got there suspension done at bimmershop.

Tomorrow is the last day of class and then exams start. Mostly takehomes as I'm in almost all 4th year seminars, so I'll be locking myself in the library for a week or two. Done on the 14th and am planning a trip up to Tremblant to learn how to snowboard finally.

Oh, and on a completely unrelated note, I'm looking for some Johnnie Walker Blue Label for this weekend. It's a long story as to why I am, but so far the best price seems to be the SAQ in Gatineau for $220ish. If anyone here has an extra bottle they want to unload, let me know.

PM me your number, I really want the interior of my car cleaned out but I maintain a really obscure schedule. Maybe we can work out a time to do it.

fizzerd · 12-04-2008, 10:01 PM

Called a few places for mounting winter tires onto my oem rims but not sure which place to goto..Heres what I found:

Ottos: $130

Goldwing: $10 cheaper than Ottos

Parker Auto Care: $70 but booked for the whole week

Frisby tire: $70

Very concerned on not getting my OEM rims scratched. Any tips on reliable places cheaper than the dealership?

My family has dealt with Frisby on Industrial and we have never had a problem with them. Good guys there.

Perhaps we should all come at the same time so Mr. nkids can do his job more efficiently.
Thank You

I used to have a reliable guy who charged $70 cash, but his business shut down. so i had to go to elite, paid $200 to mount and balance the runflats.

Give Deals4Wheels a call, I think they have 3 locations across the city. I've never paid more than $10-15/tire to these guys.

Deals4wheels told me theres a 2 hour wait so I went to commercial tire instead. Latters customer service sucks though. Wont be going there again.

I seem to have good luck with Deals 4 wheels in Kanata.

Just curious to find out how many Ottawa members have done mods (rims, spoilers, lips, tint, etc.) to their cars and what type of mods were done?
