What are some of the better repair and parts shops in and around the GTA for guys with MX and off road bikes?

I just got back into MX'ing and I haven't a clue where to go since CycleWorld near the 427 closed down years ago.

I know there's Bondi for modding motors, but I'm talking about just general repair and maintenace.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

What kind of manitanince work did need a recommendation for?
 
About the only thing I've never done before is rebuild forks or shocks. Everything else on a 2 stroker, I've done, and I've got a full kit of mechanics tools and shop to work in, except that nowadays free time is incredibly scarce, so I'm looking for a place I can trust to drop my bike off when it needs something, and that it will get done right and that I won't get hosed for it, and hopefully not an hour and a half drive away.

I know, tall order...lol

At the moment, I just purchased a mint 2000 KX 250 2 stroker and I'd like to have a shop go over it, check out the top and bottom end, clutch, make sure it's jetted properly, and check out the rear shock, which I kinda suspect might be in need of a rebuild, but maybe not.

It's a 12 year old MX bike,

it ABSOLUTELY needs a suspension rebuild on both ends, this should be done annually even with minimal use.

Fork oil degrades over time.

That's kinda what I was feeling, even though this bike is barely used.

I just talked to the owner of Parker Bros. Powersports http://www.powersports.ca/ here in Etobicoke, and he seems like a pretty cool guy, so I'm going to pop over and take a look at his shop. He's just like 10 min. from my shop.
He was saying that they have a service special on rebuilding forks and rear shocks at something like $150 for each end of the bike.
He also said that since it's the off season, he's willing to be flexible with their shop rates.

He did come across really well to me, and very personable.

Like I posted earlier, I'm going to go check out his shop. I'm pretty sure I'll go ahead and deal with them.
I'll post some feedback once I do.

Thanks for all the input from the members here.
