ON Garage in Toronto

Hello,

I leave in Toronto and I'm looking at buying an used RX-8. I have test drive one and I really like the driving experience of it. The car seems in good shape but I'm not a car expert so I'd like to make an inspection. For this reason, and also for future maintenance, I'd like to know if there is any good garage for RX-8/RX-7 in Toronto.

I have called the dealer but the only inspection they make is look at brake, fluid and stuff like that so I don't think they would be the best option. I ask if they were checking the engine or doing compression test and she told me that you can't do compression test on rotary engine because the motor would explode?

Thanks for your help!

I don't necesserely want a dealer. It can also be a private mechanic (wich could be better because they often know the car more than the dealer and are less pricey).

What is that privelege bonus !?!

It was Mazda of Toronto...
