I am also from Ontario, Ottawa to be exact and I was told by VelocityAP that Decarie Motors would be their choice as they installed several before. It is about a 15hrs job so you can figure out how much it will be from there. Hope this help

PS: Just bought my twin clutch and will be getting installed in the Spring

If Velocity is saying Decarie in Montreal is best, I would follow their advice.

Decarie's (and reputedly North America's) best Aston mechanic actually went to work at Velocity a couple of years ago, so he would know what Decarie has done in the past. I've been a Decarie customer for about 9 years, and in general, their service has been excellent.

I dealt with Grand Touring in Toronto years ago and was so disgusted, that I vowed I would never go back. I've been true to my vow, but in fairness, a lot can change over time and I have no idea what they are like today.
