I have been looking for a specific Shimano fishing reel for a while , but because of the COVID…read moresituation its sold out at every major outdoors box store , Sail and Bass Pro etc no one has any in stock and they certainly have no idea when they will be restocked. But this small shop out in Scarborough located just off Sheppard ave east just happens to have them in stock . After discovering this shop on Facebook market place and speaking to the owner a very friendly mid aged middle eastern man he told me he would give me a great deal on this fishing real so I took him up on his offer and after all he is only one in town who had one. This is a small shop nestled in a small plaza on the south side of Sheppard Ave and Kennedy Rd area . They carry alot of difrent fishing gear , inflatables , ice fishing tents and even live bait. The owner was very nice gave me a great deal on the real and if I am in the area and need any fishing related stuff I will be back. These small shops need our support especially now during and after COVID . much more then the big box stores ...stop into this place his prices are reasonable and he provides a friendly service.

I came to Hacker and Krain a long long time ago to purchase a chef knife. I recently came back to…read moreget the same knife sharpened, and as usual, this was an incredible experience. The shop owner is an extremely knowledgeable person. Not only will he walk you through the process of purchasing a kitchen knife (it's not as easy as you may think) he will also tell you wonderful stories about the history of the knife you are about to purchase. All knives come with a "lifetime promise" that the shop will not charge for sharpening something you purchased at their store. Almost 5 years later, the shop owner stayed true to that promise (no receipt required, of course). You can also visit this store to sharpen knives that you have purchased elsewhere. There is no charge for this, but the owner will ask that you kindly place a donation for paediatric cancer research. What a wonderful idea! There are both Western style and Japanese style knives on display, as well as a few pocket and steak knives. I personally don't remember them all, so you will have to visit them to get the full list. I would definitely recommend this shop for anyone who is passionate about cooking, and even if that is not the case, I would still drop by on a day off to enjoy some wonderful stories and check out a very interesting store!

When we told him we preferred a smaller size, he offered solid advice on which size would work best for us, and what offered the most comfortable and enjoyable experience. We ended up with the Wilderness systems, Pungo 120. We found they offered the best deals on kayaks, paddles, and PFD's. Don't wait!! now's the time to purchase a water craft now that the summer weather is here and there's not enough long weekends left to enjoy it!!

Following some considerable research on Foil Wings It came down to choosing a demo wing from Silent…read moreSports or Boardsports.

Moreover, a Big Thank You to Vinnie whom originally took my call and answered all my silly questions of which prompted me to drive from Markham through traffic on the Don Valley to BS. Another big thank to Brandon Prince at Boardsports for being so patient and knowledgeable with me explaining the differences between the various foil wing manufacturers. Moreover, he even introduced me to Steve the owner of Boardsports whom also was very knowledgeable about using the demo Takuma Wing Three 6.0 M foil wing. In fact I was so impressed that I purchased Steve's demo foil wing and was advised by same I would also have 1 year warranty for my Demo Takuma Wing Three. When you shop at Boardsports you will find one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet, not to mention extremely knowledgeable in all SeasonBoardsports ! Lawrence

How do you lose a client? Treat them like this place treated me when I needed their services…read more Had a kite that needed repair. Board sports took it in, promised a quote in a few days. 10 days later when I called - told I would be called back. No call. 2 weeks after dropping it off- same thing. This time they did get back to me only to tell me that the totally forgot about me, and that they will send it out as ASAP. When? Don't know. How much? Don't know. What are you going to do to expedite it or compensate me ? NOTHING. As you can guess I picked up the kite, and am having it repaired somewhere else. Never am I setting foot at this place again. They just don't care.

I've been seeking out Pambis for appliance repair since I was a teenager and as a homeowner now,…read moreI've continued to count on them to repair my dryer, my washing machine, my refrigerator and most recently, my oven when my stove burners wouldn't shut down. Pambis has always come to help and offered detailed, transparent pricing to explain the cost of the parts, the price of their labour and the fee for their visit. They've also been able to offer advice when seeking other home repair work from general contractors and plumbers. Their repairman is a good-humoured and pleasant man who always reassures me when I'm on edge over my clothes not drying or my washer not spinning and explains the problem fully and the various options for repair.

He offered to pick it up and take it to his shop to investigate the problem. Unfortunately the keypad was broken and the parts are no longer made (it's a Kenmark, made by Sears, who are now out of business in Canada), but Peter offered to dispose of it for me at no cost. I would highly recommend this company. It's the only one I'll be using in the future for appliance repairs.

Highest possible recommendation for Sam and his team!…read more So why am I writing a review for a company that did not repair my bikes? Because honest business people are becoming more and more scarce. First Sam could have repaired the four bikes that his staff picked up in a timely fashion with a courtesy call before pickup AND during pickup to confirm the correct bikes to be picked up. But he did not repair them because he did a thorough and comprehensive diagnostic first with a cost benefit analysis and recommended against repair. Then after all that he contacts me one more time to ask me if I want the, beyond repair, bikes back or should he have them recycled. At each and every stage of the process this company did the maximum possible and then took one EXTRA step to assist. Every person I spoke to from the initial call to the pick up person, a young lady whose name escapes me, to the actual owner Sam was exceptional. If you ever need bike repair services I would extend my highest possible recommendation to Sam and his team.
