After reading all comments here I was pretty sure I'll be dealing with a good guy, so I exchanged a few emails/texts and went to see him for a safety cert just today... How refreshing after having dealt with some other shops in GTA...
Super nice, super knowledgeable, modest and friendly, takes the time to explain what he does, what needs attention right away, what can wait, goes way beyond what is "in the contract"... and works fast. Through inspection and a safety certification done in under half hour for a very reasonable fee. The shop is one of the cleanest I've seen, and his own bike collection will definitely keep you entertained while you wait.
An added bonus, he responds promptly to all modern means of communication like emails and text... You think that'd be the norm today, but I'm still to find a mechanic who responds to his emails and texts in a professional manner in 20 minutes or less.
Highly recommended, and would definitely use his services again.
Thanks!
