| - It was our last day in Toronto. A beautiful 18 degrees C. It was a great day to end our little four day vacation from New Jersey. To our dismay, we discovered a flat tire just before we had to leave. There was no way we could drive 8 hours with our measly spare tire! Unfortunately, we had to purchase a new tire. If there was anything that I dreaded more than the drive, it was the auto repair shop. Of all the places that I hate, auto repair shops are up there along with the DMV and dental offices. Auto repair shop workers are known to totally jip their customers off. At least the ones in America do that. This shop totally changed my mind! We called about replacing our tire and they had to have the tire delivered which took approximately 2-3 hours since they did not carry it. We used that time to eat and walk around St. Lawrence Market, so the time of delivery didn't feel as long as we thought. Once we arrived, they said the tire would be replaced within the hour. The worker, Frankie, was telling us about how ridiculously priced the tire was (especially in comparison to the American price). However, he said that he would match the American price understanding that our situation totally sucked. What a guy :') Also, our tire was replaced exactly in an hour. This place keeps their word and totally helps their customers out. They're friendly and it doesn't feel depressing like most auto repair shops. They didn't press any extra charges nor make ridiculous claims of how my car needed repairing in other areas. I thought I wanted to move to Canada after my bike tour around the Toronto Island, but now I really want to move here knowing people here are so friendly and don't suck.
