Let this be a lesson to you. Stay away from Cdn Tire, speedy, midas, any other 'chain' shops, and the stealer. A local shop will most always beat any quote those other places give you.
Take some time and visit a couple shops. Get at least three estimates, and go with your gut. Once you've gone to a local guy once and your happy, keep going to him.
That's the best way to find a mechaic on your own. Try asking around as well, a good reference could get you started.
