Any autopian`s in Quebec

[Julius_911]

Mike,



There is a guy named Jamie (jay_89@hotmail.com) that does car detailing in Montreal. I was going to use him but I have some scheduling conflicts this summer...and he uses only the best products (from what he tells me). I hope to get my car done by him in the coming months.



Besides Canadian Tire, I don`t think us canadians have any choice like the US has (autozone, automart, auto_everything)...but I do have a way of saving money if your willing to do some travelling.



Just past the Lacolle border there is a US transport company called FreePort. I usually order stuff online and have it shipped to this US address, I then drive to the border into the US (Champlain) and pick it up. They charge you a flat rate of $2..yup, this is not a misprint, $2 that`s it..no matter how many days you`ve kept it there. They are located just seconds after passing the border (1st exit), and I usually bulk my orders from many places so that I make 1 trip only.

The saving are unbelievable.

1. If your shipping from state to state, you don`t pay taxes. Example, you order from Pakshak located in Hawaii and have the items shipped to Champlain, NY, and you don`t pay taxes.



2. The shipping is always very cheap. What costs $15 to ship to Canada, usually costs $7 within US.



3. You always get the items you want without inflating prices we pay here.



I`ve been using Freeport for over 15 years and I always use them when the Canadian prices are too high, or when they don`t ship to Canada.

It takes me 1.5 hours to go from Montreal to the Border and back. Very quick.



The number of the place is 518-298-8582.



If anyone has found good detailing products in Montreal, please share!



Thanks, I hope this helps someone.

Hey thanks for the reference, im going to email him. Yeah a couple buddies used to use freeport forwarding, now they set up a mail address at mailboxes ETC in plattsburgh. Yeah for products and such, its very pricey here compared to the states. I think they just in general like to rip Canadians off at almost anything and everything, cars, electronics and the kicker is half of the stuff is made here!! Thanks again

I just purchased several :waxing: products from Eshine.ca and the price + delivery was excellent. They carry most high end brands and ship in 2-3 days to your door thru Canpar. Plus if you combine purchases above 150$ the shipping is free.



You can also find all the professional 3m products and most of pro meguiars line-up at C-max (NAPA specialty store for body shop supplies). I also found some great deals on Micro-Fiber towels (3m brand) at Zellers.
