I recently ran across a shop in Laval, Quebec called Indy Auto Garage and Engine Dyno. Any of you canucks have insight on Nick Panaritis and his Brother that run this shop? They have a bunch of videos on YouTube and looks like they have a passion for Mopar. Watching Nick Run engines and Tune on the Dyno is fun to watch I am really liking what I am seeing, He seems like a truly knowledgeable guy and a bit of a perfectionist or at least doesn't quit until the goal is reached.

Was wondering if anyone has had dealings with Nick and what the shop is like? I was so impressed with the videos he is putting out I sent messages to Velocity and Discovery execs letting know there is a shop that is deserving of his own show. I say that because in the videos it's kind of like what a lot of us have been looking for a show that not only has real situations and results / fails but a guy who seems humble and smart and knows his engines and his mopars. So seeing the restorations at least talked about and then seeing the built engines go on the dyno and tuned in before being installed is nicely done and interesting.

Here is the link to the YouTube channel

Yep 3000Km and 30 hours from me as well. My Local engine builder is a drag racer as well as a fantastic engine builder. He knows how to make HP and knows what combos work and which dont. Has built many 1000 plus hp motors as well as many stock Mopar engines. I have gotten to see many a motor on the dyno.
 
Oh c'mon, everyone knows "Canada" only stretches from Toronto to Montreal !! ;-)
 
Some in Queeebec think they're in their own country. Mopar guys excluded!
Saw Nick's video of the stockish 426 Hemi dyno and liked watching him work. I'll be looking for more videos from his shop now.
For Hemis Only here in Ontario ships them all over the world. Tim is a good guy, but I don't think he'll be making any videos. He's pretty busy and always "20 Hemis behind".
 
yeah figured it was a stretch that far away just wanted to see uf anyone had any knowledge or insight.
 
LOL ! Done.

I'm from Ottawa, I don't know the shop personally but a friend of mine has dealt with those guys for 20 years. Apparently they really know their stuff and do good builds.
 
I would think any shop that has been around for 20 years, most likely does good work. With the age of the internet, any bad reviews will get posted fast.
 
Nick's a ''Top Bloke'' as we say in England!:canada:

Too many people want to hide their ideas and secrets away from prying eyes...
Everything he does is in 'full view' and 'above board', so he's a top bloke to me!
Real time Dyno testing 'warts and all', the stuff he puts up with would send others running to the hills...
Lowly 'one day' assembled 318ci motors to the Mighty Hemi's we all know and love!!!:drama:
He does stuff that no one else is interested in.
YEP, daily driver cars and lowpo engines.:luvplace:

Some of you guys don't know how lucky you IS!:soapbox:
