Does anyone know a good independent garage in the Toronto area that is both reasonable and honest.
Secondly, what oil is best for the upcoming winter. Brand and type please.
And finally, my dealer has offered to sell me Bridgestone Winterforce 255 55 R16 for $115 each. Toyota metal rims are an extra $75. Are they a good tire and/or can you recommend anything else.

thanks,

Andrew

That price for a WinterForce is good but they are a poor quality tire. They are very very noisey on the highway, the traction in the city was pretty good. I would reccomend a higher end tire like a Michelin X-Ice or a Blizzak. They are a lot more m oney but well worth it in the long run.

Hope this helps
