Anyone have a great, knowledgeable Audi mechanic in central Toronto? I don't have much wrong with my S4, but when little things need doing.... timing belt, small electrics, etc., I'd rather deal with one of these guys then take it back to the dealer. I want to find someone that loves working on these cars 'cause he's a real gearhead!

Was actually impressed. Had originally posted on the Canadian discussion forum for the recomendation, 11 guys answered to go to Independent. Granted they are a forum sponsor, Bryan is on there on a regular basis answering questions, he is the parts guy/enthusiast. Mark is the Mechanic.
They were good to me, they squeezed me in to do the timing belt as I was visiting TO. No problems, he identified a few things my local mechanic missed. Takes pride in his work.
Mark is a VW/Audi Porsche trained mechanic, had participated in LeMans (his team was third or fourth - the teams that finished ahead of them were all factory teams - their team was the first non factory team).
There garage is spotless, both guys pitch in to sweep and clean, floors were not greasy, they wear nitrile gloves when they work on the cars - tools are wiped off before being put away. My wife was impressed at how clean the place was.
Mark knew what he was doing with the car, had seen many before but not so common now. I can recommend them without hesitation.

I have been going there over 14 years. The owner Jack is extremely knowledgeable, and works predominantly on VW and Audi - BMW is the other brand.
Good guy and he enjoys these cars. He owns a couple Audi's himself including 94 S4.<ul><li><a href="http://www.eurospeed.ca">http://www.eurospeed.ca</a</li></ul>

..and you're right, the place is always nice and clean and he's a very friendly guy to deal with. The move to the new facility will be awesome.

...you must have come in the <i>one</i> week I wasn't banging out a StageIII S4 :)
Thanks for all the positive comments.
We have now moved in to a larger facility, and are currently on the hunt for a few more decent techs.
Mark and I are up to our gloves over here ;)
