Not to mention his relative "unpleasentness" -maybe he isn't a morning guy

I'll take the car to a couple other shops as I believe this job can be done at a much cheaper rate.
Let us know what each shop is quoting you too.

No, they're at par now (in fact USD is worth slightly more).

The quote is particularly interesting because almost every single thing in Vancouver is over-priced, and yet I see someone who beats us!

Oh and for sure, I'll let you guys know of the best deal.

I went to 2 different shops in Kirkland this morning, one on 126th (L-M) and one on 124th (360) and both gave me nearly identical quotes. Not so surprisingly their quotes were much lower than that of Belkirk's (more than 30% difference). 360 does high end cars mainly Bimmers, and L-M has done G's before (they also had a nicely painted 50's Caddy in front). So both know their stuff.

I would strongly advise against Belkirk (sorry SlowZster but this place is a rip off, nevermind the unpleasantness).
